Silk Scarves...The Eyes and Lips Have It!
Do you have the wardrobe blahs? The fall and winter and early spring are times when it is easy to get the wardrobe blahs. During the summer you can wear pretty much whatever you'd like and you'll feel great: it's sunny and warm and everyone is relaxed. But during the winter you're forced to cover up, wear clothes that are too cold outside and too hot inside and it's usually darker and drabber.
Don't go out and buy a new wardrobe at this time! It's so easy to do because you want to spice up your life with some new clothes that make you feel great. But instead, you can add some spice and interest to your clothes with a much more effective purchase: the silk scarf. Silk scarves are more affordable than replacing every stitch of clothing in your closet...for the amount of money you would have spent on new clothes, you can add a whole gamut of new combinations with many of these beautiful fashion accessories.
When shopping, remember that their primary purpose is to frame your face. Therefore, you should buy these designer need tops that look great against your skin and be particularly mindful of the color: select one that matches your eye color and another one to coordinate with your hair color. If you only buy two scarves, these should be the colors to buy. Some women, though, find that they can buy two or three additional scarves based on their natural lip color or skin color.
If you have trouble finding ones that match your natural coloring, considering finding scarves that match your makeup, however this should be secondary.
Purchase plains colored ones (no patterns) and wear them in these options:
... The head wrap can completely cover your head, which is a very classy look. It can tend to be slightly more formal so it's appropriate for those situations when you want to dress up just a little.
... You can fold it into a strip and wear it across the top of your head to keep your bangs back. This works for both casual and professional looks.
... Consider folding it into a strip and tie it around your neck. This can really dress up a pair of jeans.
... Tying it around your neck to hang down the front can work for professional and formal settings.
... Tying it under your color to hang down the front can also work in professional outfits.
... A casual look can be had by folding it in a triangular form and tying it like a bandana around your neck. This is a fairly casual look so it may not be appropriate at the office. It looks great with jeans.
Got the winter blues and the wardrobe blahs? Don't buy a new wardrobe; find silk scarves that can transform your wardrobe to match YOU!

The Quest for the Perfect Handbag
By: Christabel Biella

No matter how many handbags we own, there is always the quest to find that perfect handbag. It is a quest that rarely gets fulfilled. There are frustrations that we can sometimes have with our precious everyday buddies that quite frankly piss us off. The top 5 frustrations with handbags are:
1. They are a vacuum for dirt, hair, old chewing gum and crumbs (even though you have never used the handbag for a plate before).
2. When the mobile is ringing in a densely populated potentially embarrassing place (e.g. silent train packed with commuters, important meeting at work) the bag seems to want to hide the phone and bury it in the most awkward place possible in order to maximize time taken to retrieve the ringing phone and then letting the phone stop ringing after you, red faced and flustered have retrieved the phone.
3. Handbags tend to be quite possessive and clingy. If you ever try to move your worldly possessions from one to another new bag, the older bag will hide an Important Object from you in attempt to keep your loyalty to it. Unfortunately though it means we end up panicking and never finding Important Object for months. Sometimes to be extra sneaky, the old bag will hide the object in a hole in the bag lining so that you think you have lost the object for good. (A bit like when Carrie thinks she has lost her Carrie necklace in Sex and the City).
4. Like cats, they don’t like being cleaned.
5. They don’t appreciate the fact that they are too bulky to store neatly. They enjoy the chaos of jumbling around in the space that you put them; whether it’s under the bed, at the top unreachable shelf of your wardrobe or on a coat peg.
There are 5 key criteria I believe that need to be met for The Perfect Handbag:
1. Has to fit in half the contents of my house for when I am staying at the boyfriend’s house, or on an expedition around the city.
2. Has to be soft and willing to expand if necessary to fit in a lot, or shrink back to normal size for the leisurely activities of shopping or meeting up with girlfriends!
3. Has to look elegant and pristine at all times. Even through rain, wind and sun.
4. Needs enough pockets for quick and easy access to the following items: mobile phone, travel card, iPod, make up, chewing gum, tissues need I go on?
5. But most importantly it has to fit in with my style and look the part.
