One piece swimsuit history

Top choices when it comes to one piece swimsuits

Every year top designer brought a new interpretation to the basic one piece swimsuit pattern. One key element: Jules Leotard, a circus man, created for its acrobats a body suit with braces, and this particular shape became the inspiration for the swimsuits in past but…also in our days. You can see these kind of suits wore by Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

What to wear in summer 2010?

    The key element is: variety! Designers brought on stage multiple interpretations for each trend and adapted them in some particular ways. So, you may choose a retro pattern, in one color, from Emporio Armani, you may dare to wear an eccentric model with crazy colors or leopard print, like Dolce and Gabbana.
Halter-top-style bathing suits, especially those with wider or thicker straps, also are a growing look for 2010. Depending on the color or print, the look can be fun and flirty or sexy and sophisticated. When combined on a one-piece, it also exudes a touch of retro Hollywood glamour.
    Other swimwear styles making waves include bandeau tops, which resembles tube tops, and “skirtinis,” bathing suit bottoms with a little attached skirt.
In terms of accents, ruffles, beading and studs are embellishing every type of swimsuits. Playful polka dots, bold animal prints and the sweet gingham pattern are also adding a dash of style to today’s swimwear. Still, you have so many choices, but the thing you must remember is that you have to be fashionable but also pay attention to your body features. Don’t go for fashion if the swimsuit doesn’t fit you right.

1.       Contraceptives stain your skin

Some of the contraceptives accelerate skin pigmentation when mixing with sun. So, you should use a high SPF cream (50+ factor). You can also find in drugstores some special creams that prevent skin pigmentation. You can ask for your gynecologist advice, maybe he can recommend some pills that don’t have this effect.

2.       Antibiotics cause eczema

If you follow an antibiotics treatment is better that you stay away from the sun. Exposed to UV rays, substances from antibiotics trigger rashes. The most dangerous are doxycyline  and cinoxacin, that are prescribed for treating respiratory diseases, urinary infections and stomach inflammations. If you are under such a treatment, you’d better stay under the umbrella. You could also use a 30+ SPF cream, with no perfumes.

3.       Natural plants react to sun, summer heat

Hay, for example, can cause a powerful redness of your skin. If you tend to follow a natural treatment, be careful that you won’t use any products that contain hay. You can also experience skin inflammations.

Tips: If you follow a medication treatment, talk to you doctor before going on vacation. Also, use high SPF creams and carefully read the medicine prescription before using it!

Second, there were colored contact lens, meant to offer a special, different color to our eyes. And, of course, medical contact lens, that really help patients with sight problems.

And now, here they are: the circle contact lenses. Are they hot, or not?

Well, if I were to judge by the looks, this invention really gives you some special look. In fact, what are circle eye lenses?

They are contact lenses that make your eyes look bigger. According to Wikipedia.com: “they have the color covering a majority of the contact, causing the color to go beyond the iris and manipulating the ratio between the iris and the eye, thus, the appearance of a larger iris. It comes in a variety of colors, and effects. The diameter of the lens is on average 14 mm (more than 2 mm longer than the average iris diameter). The lenses themselves range from natural-looking colors to special effects.”

They became so popular once Lady Gaga wore a pair of circle lenses in her video “Bad Romance”, and in 2009 they were really used by the Eastern Asian people. But, now, the problem is that specialists consider them dangerous for eye health. In fact, the law says that no eye contact lens can be bought without prescription (at least in the US), but, the internet offer is…wide…world wide. The lenses are illegal, but prices are as low as $20 on the Internet. When buying contraband from different countries, doctors remind consumers to question whether the lenses are being produced in suitable environments.

Eye care specialists on tv programs by US channels have warned that wearing illegally imported lenses -- can cause infections leading to blindness, corneal ulcers and abrasion, or vision impairment.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, non-prescription decorative contact lenses called “circle lenses” “are an emerging and potentially dangerous trend among teenagers and young adults.”These unusually large contact lenses are pigmented, sometimes adorned with decorative patterns, which give the wearer a doll-eyed appearance with larger irises (the colored part of the eyes). The American Academy of Ophthalmology states that all contact lenses should be properly fitted by a professional in order to reduce pain, infection and potential eye damage. Furthermore, circle lenses are usually made with little or no regulation.

Our recommendation: use makeup! Eye make-up can really do miracles. Don’t rush into buying expensive circle lenses when you can buy a harmless make-up kit with less then 10$. And here is a short video that proves that make-up is one easy and safe way to create the illusion of big, big eyes:

I recommend to keep in mind these rules for a beautiful but healthy body:

1. Eat 4-6 servings of fruits and vegetables per day

Raw vegetables are preferred for salads. Warm season offers a variety of vegetables and fruits, the recommendation is to have as many colors on the plate as possible: orange (for content in beta-carotene), red (for flavonoids), green (for vitamins, fibers).
Beta-carotene is a great protector of the body, especially skin and mucous membranes that protect them from adverse effects of the sun. Accumulating that antioxidant, The skin gets a healthy, beautiful and sexy tone.

2. Eat at least two times a week, fat fish

Choose salmon, mackerel, herring, because they are rich in omega 3. On other days, low protein intake may be given with meat chicken, turkey, fish or eggs.

3. Choose non-fat dairy products

It’s good to drink fresh diary products, which has less fat (yogurt, cheese, cheese, cottage cheese,  kefir, sweet milk), but with measure. By exposing the body to the sun, you will better absorb the calcium content in these foods.

4. Energy, go for cereals!

It is also advisable  to eat whole grains or whole wheat bread, corresponding with the body’s energy needs. They are high in fiber content, vitamins of group B, E, slow carbohydrate absorption, good quality fats.

5. Do not forget water

Do not forget the daily intake of water, according to the great quantity of water lost in summer (by heat, exercise). We recommend at least 2 liters of water per day.

Fashion tips for office outfits:

The styles, colors, lengths and fit of your fashion choices will speak volumes about your ability to do your job. If you are concerned about your career, you’ll be more concerned with looking professional than looking cute or trendy.

In general, the more distracting a piece of clothing or jewelry is, the less appropriate it is for office wear.

Your shoes and handbag or case are crucial elements in looking classic and professional. Shoes should be simple, elegant and not too high, and the color and texture should match your bag. It’s worth it to invest in at least one really good pair of shoes with a matching bag. Jewelry is great, but keep it to a minimum. A broach and a good watch or bracelet and one ring is perfect. Coco Chanel believed in the stylishness of simplicity, and she’s still right.

Dress professionally in the summertime: wear closed-toe slingbacks: your place of business may allow sandals or open-toed shoes, but if your workplace is more conservative, you can still get some fresh air to your feet by wearing slingback pumps. These are a good warm weather style shoe that work well in the office.

Carry along lightweight blazers: in case you still need to sport a blazer to the office, make sure it’s made in a light material, such as cotton or linen. You can always slip the jacket off when you go to lunch or leave at the end of the day.

Keep your outfits simple: to stay cool, try to keep your outfits as simple and easy as possible. This isn’t a time to think about layers. Instead, choose a pair of linen slacks, top with a cotton or linen shirt, add a fashionable belt and slingbacks, and you’re done. If you have to wear a blazer, carry it along and slip into it right before you head into the office.

Keep it moderate: the office is not the catwalk (unfortunately), if you want to make a real appearance you might take some huge risks. If you go for the safe option you might keep it moderate. Don’t show so much skin, you can be very stylish without flashing your assets in transparent and too tight clothes, miniskirts or summer shorts.

The famous Christmas party outfit: casual elegance – if the party is casual, but you still want to look nice, I recommend wearing a pair of dark blue or black jeans with a cute top and nice shoes. Make sure the jeans don’t have any any holes or designs on them. A simple solid color will help make this outfit more versatile, and you can wear it to dinner, church, or a casual get-together. The same goes for long sleeved t-shirts and sweaters. Try combining dark jeans with solid red or green sweaters, and a nice, elegant scarf.
