Be Charming In Full-Skirted Dresses

While a mini hemline or a curve-conscious silhouette has some serious sex appeal, there's something equally eye-catching (and sweeter) about a ladylike look. Perfect for party dress, full-skirted frocks with cinched waists feel ultra-feminine and flatter just about everyone. Take a cue from this gorgeous celebrity lineup: Jessica Alba proves even metallics look amazingly ladylike in Thakoon, while Taylor Swift gives us all-out retro glamour in a scarlet-red Oscar de la Renta. Meanwhile, Miranda Kerr channels a little vintage romance in a floral-printed Louis Vuitton.

Part retro, all glamour — full-skirted dresses are taking over the red carpet on some of our favourite celebrities. Style stars like Taylor Swift, Dianna Agron, and Jessica Alba are embracing the feminine fit and flare shape in every form. From the red-carpet-ready versions to the pared-down and pretty for every day, the trend is one we're particularly fond of for this season. Nothing looks more classically ladylike than a full-skirted dress, bare legs and sweet heels to tie it all together.

Michelle Obama is a huge fan of the full-skirted silhouette, and she wears it in everything from dresses (like the green print dress, pictured) to separates. The First Lady favors a very flattering length for her height -- just below the knee -- and it looks fantastic on her.

Petite frames, like Sarah Jessica Parker, can pull of the full skirt silhouette. But it works best in sophisticated styles like this soft goddess-look dress. Avoid anything too short or little girly (especially over 40) on smaller women or you'll ridiculous.

Ways to Amaze Your Xmas Party


The biggest party happens during Christmas time when all is merry and wonderful. Christmas is always a wonderful time to reconnect with family and friends that you have not seen in a while and may be an excellent time to throw a party. However, you may find yourself needing some inspiration on what to do for your party and Christmas party ideas become very necessary. Christmas comes with so much and you need to evaluate what you are used to doing and know what you are going to change or retain.

The most common theme of a Christmas party is a religious one and there are many religious aspects in every Christmas idea. The main feature of Christmas parties or festivities lies in the decoration. The signature decoration tool is a Christmas tree. You therefore need to maintain such fundamental aspects of Christmas depending on the location you are at. This means that if you plan to hold a party at home, nothing rivals a good Christmas tree as the centerpiece of your decorations. This type of extra effort can give your party a great atmosphere. If you add a Santa to your party, you create a personal touch that makes any Christmas party better than most others.

Besides the religious themed party, there are also many other fantastic party ideas. Like white elephant Xmas party, Xmas cookie decorating party, Xmas caroling party, Xmas card making party, tree trimming party, etc. Each party has its own fascination and rules. For example, at a white elephant party, each guest brings a wrapped item that they have already had at home (a good excuse for re-gifting).

A good way to start decorating a themed party is by matching all the colors of the decorations. When you use red and green, and even gold, you create a party atmosphere that clearly presents the mood intended for the party. Using as many decorations as possible will create a broader awareness of the joyous holiday season.

Vintage Party Dresses for Your Fantastic Night


By far one of the most popular and desirable items of vintage clothing is the vintage party dress. Whether it is for the high school prom, hot date, music festival or party of the year, vintage party dresses are always there for you to choose! So, what actually belongs to the vintage category? Or in another word, which style do you prefer and will look great on you? I would like to recommend some basic styles of vintage range below.

Empire waistline
As the name implies, the empire dress has a higher waistline which usually begins just beneath the bust. This dress is always teamed with a long, full skirt which flows straight from the waistline. The empire style is perfect for those who have a bottom-heavy figure or thick waist as it skims and hides the bottom half.

Sheath/column
This body-fitting dress hugs your curves in all the right places and outlines the beautiful lines of your body. Sheath dress is especially gorgeous on the women who have the tall and balanced figure, for it enhance the charm and grace.

Ball gown
If you want to get a princess or fairlady look, the ball gown is definitely the best choice for you. It is highly elegant and always dramatic. The form-fitted bodice with a magic skirt flatters most figure types and is especially suitable for disguising large hips and thighs.

Short/mini
The short/mini dress has seen a real resurgence in the past few years. Short and sexy, the strapless version of this dress is probably the most popular of all the vintage party dresses, often referred to as the vintage prom dress.

Tea dress
Although it's still at the height of fashion, the tea dress is far from new to the fashion dictionary. Regardless of many designers attempting to revolutionize this style of frock, nothing compares to the historical, classic style of a vintage tea dress.

High-low dress
This style of dress is hemmed long at the back (at the ankles or to the floor) and just above the knees at the front. This is a unique, sexy party dress which is perfect for showing off long legs with its glam and pleasant look.

Some Tips of Eyes Makeup


The eyes are always the windows of the soul. They speak volumes, giving your personality for its intrinsic individuality. They are a dead giveaway of how happy or sad you feel, how much alcohol you've consumed, or how tired or upbeat you are. Eventually, your eyes will also give away your age. By applying eye makeup, you can make your eyes more gleaming while complement your appearance

Choose and apply eye shadow
These days, eye shadow is available in myriads of beautiful colors in the form of creams, powders, and glittery dust. Eye shadow is used to highlight the eyes. A lot of women make this common mistake of sporting eye makeup that matches the outfit they are wearing or simply because it is their favorite color. The shadow should be chosen according to the occasion, the time of day, the tone of your skin, the color of your hair, and, of course, the color of your eyes. For example if you are about to attend an evening party, you can choose the deep purple or gold shades. Or if you are going to a daytime party, the earthy tones are more appropriate.

When applying the eye shadow, firstly apply eye shadow primer lotion as a base on eyes as it will comfort your eyes while makeup and also helps to save your eyes from sun rays. It will allow you to apply the eye shadow more smoothly, and also make it last longer. Choose eye shadow brushes of good quality, which are angled and flat.

Apply eyeliner
Once you finish with the eye shadow, next comes your eyeliner. The eyeliner should be waterproof, as well as hypoallergenic if you have sensitive skin. According to the occasion you are about to attend, choose the proper eyeliner. If you are going to an evening party, you can choose to apply a thicker and darker line.

Mascara
Finish off with mascara. Your eyes get beautifully framed by applying mascara on your lashes.
