Loading ...Leggings are again in fashion! Why not? They are beautiful, chick and even slimming. They are becoming more and more popular.
Many starlets like Hillary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Fergie, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan love wearing them.
Linsay presented her own leggings collection in October >>
You can do that either. But remember that if leggings are worn incorrectly they look just ugly. Some women should avoid them as they can only accentuate their physical imperfections.
Leggings are not for everyone and before putting them on check whether you really look well wearing them or it’s better to get rid of the pair as soon as possible.
Here are some pieces of advice to take into account:
# 1 Consider your body shape. Remember that leggings are not pants or jeans, they are very tight-fitting and thus expose any extremes. If you are too big or too small you better not wear them.
Leggings will magnify both bulges and bones, making you appear fatter or unattractively skinnier. Even if you do have a nice frame, you have to be very careful about choosing your tops wisely. The fact that leggings look good on you cannot allow you to wear any kind of a blouse or tee.

Loading ...Earrings make any woman look more charming and attractive. There are appropriate types for every occasion and any woman.
Due to the fact they are close to the face, earrings must compliment one’s face shape. There are also several basic styles that can be worn from day to evening and are appropriate for a variety of clothing options and occasions.
How to choose earrings?
You should identify your face shape first to decide what style of earrings will compliment your face best. Consider what will enhance your good features. Take into consideration the cut and color of your hair, your skin tone, your body size and clothes you’re wearing.
Round Face Shape

If your face is round you better choose lean, long and angular curved lines. It will elongate and add a little angle to your face. You can wear drop earrings in dangles, ovals and oblongs. Square and rectangular earrings are also good options, as are angular earrings. But make sure that you avoid small studs and hoops and chunky large earrings as well.
Oval Face Shape

This is a classic shape that will work with almost any style of earring. You can always do some experiment with different styles and decide what looks good on your face. You can wear earrings with soft shapes like studs, ovals and teardrops. Spiraled dangly pair will look cute on you. Pearl, diamond, or gemstone studs can compliment this face shape if worn with a shorter hair style. However, avoid wearing incredibly long and thin shapes that will just pull you down.
Heart-Shaped Face

Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom – tear drops, chandeliers, triangle shapes that begin with a point. Even circular and oval earrings will work with your face shape, so long as they don’t taper as they descend. Pyramid style earring will also look pretty. Steer clear of earrings that are heart shaped very short earrings.
Square Face Shape

Earrings with a round and angular edge will work best because it will help in softening a square face. As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length.
Long or Thin Face Shape

You are advised to wear simple studs and chandelier style earrings. Three dimensional earrings will add fullness to your face. To widen this face shape wear circular, triangular (with the point up) and square earrings. However, remember to avoid flat or dangling earrings.
Diamond Face Shape

Wear short and wide earrings. A straight line and curves combination will work well for you. Besides, try studs and small drop earrings. Be sure to avoid long and thin earring style.
Triangular Face Shape

If you have a triangular face you need earrings that will soften the sharp angles. Large oval or small circular earrings will work well for you. Prefer earrings with curves at the bottom and avoid ones that come to a point.
Now you have some tips to help you. Go ahead and choose a nice pair!

Rihanna is the cover girl of August 2008 In Style magazine and featured in a pic spread and profile article and interview. Rihanna told about her rule-breaking fashion philosophy — and her future.
Rihanna is no cookie-cutter R&B diva. When she rpresented her first album “Music of the Sun” her record label decked her out in long wavy extensions and frilly outfits.

We’ve had the Meg, the Jennifer, and now people ask for the Rihanna at salons. Will you be switching it up again?
The first time I heard people were asking for the Rihanna, it was really flattering and maybe a little strange. It caught me by surprise, but now I feel it’s a very cool thing. I don’t feel the pressure to change it up again at all. I like it, as they like it
She’s having Valentino silk dress, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gold-plated necklace, her own earrings and Gucci leather booties on.

This issue is about breaking fashion and design rules. What are some you’d like to crush?
The idea of not wearing brown and black together seems so dated. The other day I wore a black T-shirt, black Nobody jeans, a brown leopard-print belt by Dolce & Gabbana, and brown Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and it looked awesome. Also the rule about not matching your makeup to your outfit. I do that onstage, matching red lipstick to a bright red jacket or neon-pink eye shadow to a pink jumpsuit. And I also love to mix prints.

How has your look evolved over the years? What’re your style obsessions?
It has evolved without my even noticing it. Lately I’m obsessed with Thierry Mugler…Grace Jones inspires me…she has extraordinary style and she’s fearless. I love designer Martin Margiela: Kanye West told me about him. I also like Dsquared, Chloé, Zac Posen—he makes flattering lines.”

But you weren’t always a fashion maven? Growing up in Barbados, you were a tomboy.
I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all. I would always get into trouble with my mom. She would say things to scare me like, ‘You’re going to get cut!’ But I couldn’t help it. I would climb trees, steal mangoes, catch birds—silly things that were fun to us at the time. My cousin and I were the only girls in the group. We would have to stand up for ourselves because the guys didn’t want us around.”

Rihanna told In Style,
At the time I was, like, ‘OK, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.’ But I love doing edgier things. So I had to grow up and figure myself out.”
Three years later, the Barbadian songstress is a 20-year-old trendsetter with neon nails, spiky locks and a love of experimentation—up to a point.
I let hairstylists and makeup artists try anything, but I’ll say ‘I’m not too sure if I like this’ if I need to. Because at the end of the day, my face is what’s out there, so I have to make sure it’s right.”
