Fresh design ideas for a cluttered bedroom

February 25, 2016 by admin

A cluttered bedroom can really get to interfere with your life after a while. Bedrooms are where we head at the end of the day for relaxation and rest. But if you are regularly staring at stacks of un-shelved books, dirty laundry and piles of miscellaneous ‘stuff’ with no place to go – that’s a bedroom where chaos, not calm, rules. How are you going to get some rest surrounded by all that?

Here’s what you’ve got to do to overturn this sad tale of events. Don’t worry, it’s not difficult, all it takes is a little focus, time and energy. You don’t have to become a decorating guru or interior design expert, just sign up to the bedroom un-clutter program.

Get sorted

You love your clothes and you have some great menswear, but have you got space for it all? Start a de-cluttering session by assessing your wardrobe and junking anything you haven’t worn in a year. This will create space so you are able to re-arrange and tidily organize clothes you want to keep. Arrange shirts, trousers, suits etc. by color for easy location. Go to the store and buy up some attractive, stackable storage boxes for shoes, boots and other bulky items. Label the boxes and stack neatly at the bottom or top of the wardrobe.

Find extra space

Look at the bones of the bedroom. Are there alcoves or corners where shelves, hanging rails or cupboards could be fitted? Exploit all the space in the room, not forgetting overhead areas – suspended storage or high shelves tracking around the room above door-height offers space for precious but infrequently used items such as books and souvenirs from your travels.

Light touch

Natural light is great for energizing you in the mornings, but it needs to be controllable so it doesn’t interfere with sleep patterns. Keeping things restrained and pared back with minimalist stylish shutters at the windows, combines great looks with a practical solution to light control. A lick of paint in a pale shade freshens up a bedroom beautifully and when you match the shutter shade to the walls, you get instant simplicity and elegance – the perfect backdrop for clutter-free space.

Bed behavior

Invest in a bed with internal storage. Either an Ottoman style divan that swallows up tons beneath the mattress, or a bed with sliding drawers – either design will help cancel out clutter. Think about it, your bed is the biggest thing in the room; make it pay for the space it takes.

Hat hint

Do you have lots of homeless hats? Make a feature out of your handsome headgear by displaying them proudly on the wall or lining them up on a shelf. You will find that you wear them more often when they are constantly on view. And remember, the well-hatted man is one of the hottest looks this season.

Push the calm and serenity levels to new highs in your clutter-free, super-organized bedroom. Sleep comes easily in a room that is ordered, harmonious and streamlined – so follow these simple easy steps and look forward to some restorative and well-earned rest…

Engaged? It’s Time to Start Planning Your Big Day!

February 18, 2016 by admin

It’s a wonderful month for romance. We’ve just had the most romantic day of the year, St Valentine’s. What an excellent time to spoil the one you love! Of course, you should be doing that all year round, but sometimes, it is handy to be given that little reminder. Romance comes in do many forms. Some lovers may stick to the traditional gifts like flowers and chocolates. Others try to show their love in more creative ways. It’s always nice to bear in mind the personality of the recipient when choosing gifts – it makes it even more special. A thoughtful gift is much more romantic than some flowers bought hastily at a garage!

The other reason February is so romantic in 2016 is that it is a leap year. Tradition states that the 29th of February is the day that women should take the lead and propose marriage! Back in ancient times, it was customary that a man refused the proposal, he had to compensate the lady. Whether it be jewels, cash or a gown, it was necessary to give a token of compensation.

So if you have (or plan to) get engaged this month, then you might be thinking about the wedding already. If you’re impatient, and you don’t want to wait too long to get hitched, then what’s the next step?

The first thing is to decide where you want to get married. This is crucial to do as soon as possible. Even if you are waiting a while, it makes sense to book it as soon as possible. Ensuring that your desired date is available can be difficult, so ensure you have more than one choice. You’re less likely to be disappointed this way.

Once you have the date confirmed, you can either choose to send out Save The Date cards if it’s some time off yet. If your nuptials are more imminent than it makes sense to go straight to the invitations! Get your invitations out as quickly as possible, especially if your wedding is within the next three months. This gives guests more time to make sure they can make it to your big day!

Wedding invitations should reflect the personalities of the couple. There are superstitions in some countries and cultures about wedding invitations. Chinese wedding invitation designs are laden with tradition and meaning and are meant to bring luck. The traditional style in the UK is for the invited to be sent from the parents of the bride. But as more and more families fragment, it is common these days for people to send the invites on their behalf.

Deciding who to invite to your wedding can be fraught with difficulties. Those with a large friendship group may find it difficult to choose who to ask without offending others if you have a limit on the number of guests. And as for relatives, and step-relatives, it can be a minefield!

Now you’ve got the basics covered; it’s time to get on with planning your big day! This is where the fun begins!

A Groom’s Guide to Fashion

February 8, 2016 by admin

So, you’re wedding is approaching and you haven’t yet decided what you’re going to wear. If you don’t even know where to start, let us help you.

The Suit

This is the best place to start. The thing that people will look at first when they see you will be the suit that you’re wearing, so you want it to look the part. It’s best to get a tailored suit to make sure that it fits you as well as it possibly can. Visit http://michaelandrewsbespoke.com/ for a despoke suit. There’s nothing worse than turning up for your wedding in an ill-fitting suit. The style and fit you go for are up to you. At the moment, slim fitting suits are in fashion, but you don’t need to be restricted by current fashions. Your own comfort is always more important on your wedding day.

Tie

There are lots of interesting styles of tie out there, so you can have some fun when choosing yours. The colour is important, and you will need to think about it corresponds to the colour of your suit. But it’s fine to go for something bright and vibrant as long as it works alongside everything else you’re wearing. People are increasingly experimenting with different materials now too. You can get tweed, wool or silk ties. Each of these materials offers something a little out of the ordinary.

Shoes

There are not many vital rules to follow when it comes to choosing what to wear on your feet for your big day. It obviously depends on what else you have decided to wear, and your own personal preferences when it comes to footwear. Casual shoes are becoming more popular, so don’t rule them out. But the most popular form of footwear remains the black brogue. Remember to make sure that you wear black shoes with a black suit. And if your suit is navy, you are best wearing brown shoes.

Buttonholes and Pocket Squares

Buttonholes are a great way to finish off your outfit. They mark you out as the groom and add a little touch of class to the outfit. A small flower that fits in with everything else you’re wearing (match it with your tie) makes the perfect buttonhole. And then you can add a pocket square to truly finish off the outfit. These are great for adding a pop of colour to an outfit, making them perfect for people who want to liven up their classical style outfit. Just make sure it’s folded properly before you walk down the aisle.

Alternative Ideas

If you don’t want to stick to convention, there are plenty of alternative ideas that are becoming more popular all the time. You could take a more casual approach to your outfit if you like. Coloured shirts with braces are pretty popular at the moment, and they look great for summer or outdoor weddings. Not every wedding is a big serious affair. Some of them are very low-key and casual, so it makes sense that the clothes you wear reflect the tone of the wedding you want to create.

February 8, 2016 by admin

Mostly men are liking to be more looking dope and rock hence they’re mostly fond of wearing some motor jackets than these coats and blazers, me either, I am actually more pleased to wear motor jackets than other fine pieces that these fashion brands has to offer.

This recently, the luxurious brand called Saint Laurent had released its Patchwork Motorcycle Jacket that is tremendous expensive which us regular or normal people cant really afford to have, yes! because the jacket has a price of $11,000 USD for this jacket alone. Though, it is reasonable in some sort as the brand uses the best quality of leather just to make this jacket and still it doesn’t do well on me as I dont that much of bucks to spend, but if you have some spare bucks to spend for this jacket and wanting to have with you, I’ll then suggest you to buy it off as it can makes you look dope as you wears it. Also, the jacket is limited edition and am pretty sure that in the future you can even sells it to the bigger price, in the sense it could be a good source of investment too..

Saint Laurent Patchwork Motorcycle Jacket – The jacket retails for around $11,000 USD.

Don’t speculate: A man’s guide to eyewear

February 4, 2016 by admin

photo P1060529_zpsmzaq6wu7.jpg

Good news for men who wear glasses: men’s fashion circles now embrace glasses as an expression of a person’s self and their style, rather than ridiculing them as an accessory to correct sight impairment. With this in mind, just how does the normal guy about town go about choosing eyeglasses?

A man’s choice of eyewear should depend upon his style, as well as his face shape; his glasses should complement his look rather than defining it. Rounder face shapes tend to suit thin, rectangular lenses, while square jaws will be softened with round frames. Those with oval faces may find that thicker frames add depth to their faces, although just about any style can be adapted to suit. Finally, heart-shaped faces suit a butterfly-tapered frame – that is, glasses that are wider at the top than they are at the bottom. Color is also something that must be considered. A man who works in a professional capacity should probably think about metallic, black or grey frames, while those in less formal professions can often play around a little more. The key is individuality because glasses are far more readily accepted in fashion circles these days, and so a gentleman shouldn’t be afraid to be bold.

Eyewear options without limits

One thing a man should consider if he is choosing spectacles is style vs. function. Are his glasses a fashion statement disguised as a solution to poor vision, or should their sole purpose be their functionality? Those that play sport, for example, will need to think about the type of eyeglasses they choose, while others may have a little more freedom to browse. Spectacles that could potentially take a lot of battering must be sturdier than those worn in an office all day, after all. Trendy styles this season include round lens aviators, retro browliners that, funnily enough, brush the brow, and wayfarers – it seems that big and bold is best this season.

While it’s undeniable that eyeglasses can be functional and trendy, as well as to die for in some cases, there are those for whom facial furniture just isn’t working. Perhaps they’re conscious of highlighting their sight impairments, find the idea of glasses simply too bold, they work in a profession that makes glasses impractical, or they’re really into sports and fear spectacles getting broken. Whatever the reason there are options including lenses and laser eye surgery, which will make sight impairment a thing of the past.

Lenses can be a great choice for the fashion conscious man about town, giving him the opportunity to choose glasses as and when it suits him, or to keep his visual impairment completely to himself. Laser surgery, meanwhile, is a much more permanent means of correcting sight problems, and would be particularly suitable for somebody that needs a long-term solution, and freedom from glasses and lenses. While much more costly than both eyeglasses and lenses in the short term, many fashionistas find that surgery saves them a fortune in eyewear costs over the course of a lifetime. The choice, of course, is up to the individual, but it really does pay to consult the experts first. A registered and accredited clinic, such as the Minneapolis LASIK eye surgery will be able to answer any questions a man may have about his eye care, as well as taking excellent care of his needs and health.

Eyewear is a hot topic in the world of fashion: to accessorize, or not to accessorize? Luckily for the man about town there are plenty of options available these days, from the types of frame they can choose, to the solutions available that don’t include eyeglasses. It is, of course, perfectly possible for a man to choose lenses or laser eye surgery, and then for him to wear vanity lenses when he feels like it. There are no limits in men’s fashion.

Choosing The Right Hairstyle

February 3, 2016 by admin

As a guy, you don’t have that many options when thinking about how to change your style. You could buy a new wardrobe but this is quite an expensive change. The only chance you have to regularly change your look is with your hairstyle. Changing your hairstyle gives you the opportunity to keep up with trends and to always look your best. That’s why I think the hairstyle a guy chooses is quite an important decision. It’s affected by a few different factors. You need to think about your head size and shape as well as how much maintenance you can handle. Your hair might look fantastic with it super short on the sides and long on top. But only if you take the time to style it each morning. If you don’t want to spend that much time on your hair, you need a low maintenance cut. Here are some other issues to consider.

Thinning Hair

One of the biggest worries for a guy is that their hair is thinning or that they are going bald. It’s common for guys to have to deal with this issue. Balding is one of the most prominent forms of age but there are a few options you you can consider when choosing a hairstyle. If your hair is only thinning slightly you can layer your hair and comb it to one side. This gives your hair added texture and makes it look fuller. Alternately, your hair might be so thin that it’s noticeable. However, it will be less noticeable if it’s shorter. I recommend that you get a close shave and don’t forget, shaving also encourages hair growth. One other possibility might be to consider getting a hair transplant for men. Through a hair transplant in a couple of months, your hair will be thick enough to style again. It’s an expensive procedure but one that is worth considering if you feel self conscious.

Grey Hair

Another issue to think about when choosing your hairstyle is grey hair. If your hair is greying noticeably in your twenties and or early thirties, you may want to consider dying it. But remember, dying your hair weakens it and leads to the chance of increasing hair loss. You’ll have to ask yourself what’s worse. Grey hair or no hair? You shouldn’t worry too much about grey hair as a lot of women find it quite attractive on a man.

Head Shape

If you have quite a large head or your head is an oblong shape, you might want to grow your hair out. That way you can hide the shape and it looks far more attractive. Typically, shaved heads only look good if the head is quite round. For people with long faces, it’s better to have average length hair. You can see this when looking at the celeb head shapes and how they style their hair.

Picking A Celeb Cut

Finally, you may think about taking your hairstyle from the cue of a celeb. Just remember not to copy their hairstyle exactly. Some celebs are able to pull off more extreme looks that would appear quite ridiculous on the typical individual.

The fashion icons over the years and how they influenced style

January 28, 2016 by admin

photo MTMxMTIxNzIyMjk5NTU0Mjcw_zpskpmc1yyo.jpg

The fashion industry is a billion dollar enterprise; ever-growing, it has the power to manipulate what we wear, who we wear and how we wear it. We’ve come to view clothes as not only practical products but also as objects that symbolize status and reflect how we want people to see us and how we want to see ourselves. Every decade has been defined by “a look,” something that makes that particular era standout, but who were the original trendsetters who constructed the foundations of fashion? We’re going to look at some of the most fashionable icons from the 1950s right up until our own modern times in 2016.

Feminine ‘50s: magnetic Marilyn

The 1950s saw the celebration of hourglass figures during the golden age of Hollywood glamour.
With her trademark platinum blonde curls, sultry eyes and distinctive beauty spot, Marilyn Monroe was the perfect pinup. The international sex symbol had an eye for fashion and knew how to flatter and enhance her flawless figure with timeless, feminine couture. Who could forget her sexy pleated white dress or alluring pink gown with elbow-length gloves? Her memorable looks have been recreated time and again; even today, women all over the world reimagine the screen siren’s most memorable ensembles for fancy dress costumes and special occasions.

Sophisticated ‘60s: a fashionable First Lady

Elegant and chic, Jackie Kennedy Onassis influenced women everywhere with her demure and all-American classical style earning her the title of one of the best-dressed people in popular culture. The fashion-forward First Lady made pillbox hats, over-sized sunglasses and A-line dresses popular and the paparazzi go wild. Opting for high-end designer labels such as Coco Chanel, Givenchy and Christian Dior, Jackie Kennedy was a true fashion icon in every sense that optimized the “less is more” attitude with her effortless minimalism.

Sassy ‘70s: daring David Bowie

Eclectic, experimental and rebellious; David Bowie daringly redefined fashion with confidence and charisma. The Rock and Roll legend expressed his creativity by constantly pushing the boundaries and embracing androgyny that transformed him into a universal sex symbol. His flame-red hair, outlandish jumpsuits, flamboyant feather-boas and striking makeup captivated fans from all four corners of the world and established him as an inspirational and individualistic icon. Just by watching a video compilation of his greatest hits is a history lesson in fashion firsts. As David Bowie lyrics go, “Fashion! Turn to the left, Fashion! Turn to the right!”

Eye-catching ‘80s: material girl Madonna

Bold and brash, the ‘80s saw big hair, big shoulder pads and even bigger names. Madonna, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana were just a few of the icons that graced television screens and magazine covers everywhere. As a young, extroverted performer with bucket loads of attitude, Madonna was a charismatic chameleon and fierce fashionista who continues to inspire upcoming stars including Lady Gaga and Rihanna. During the ‘80s, she expressed herself and was always in vogue with over-the-top jewelry, garish fishnets, inside-out underwear and quirky cone-bras.

Naughty ‘90s: powerful pop princesses

The ’90s saw the evolution of “girl power” with cult music acts including The Spice Girls, Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears. Neon colors, platforms, leggings and grungy unisex looks dominated a decade that was a mash-up of styles that inspired women to take control. The Spice Girls rocked high platforms while Brittany Spears made red latex catsuits a must-have addition to any wardrobe. It was a time when you could be whoever you wanted to be.

Nowadays ‘00s: modern muses

With the omnipresence of social media and the relentless “selfie” craze, there’s a new-found emphasis on looks and appearance. Whether you like them or not, the Kardashian clan have become household names who have cleverly utilized this social media platform to make them some of the most Googled people on the planet. Celebrating their contours with figure-hugging attire, the Kardashians’ have popularized big booties and killer curves and have even developed their own clothing range, suitably named the “Kardashian Kollection”. We also have a new wave of politically powerful role models including Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama who grace our glossy magazine covers with tailored sleek styles for understated yet elegant looks.

Fashion trends come and go but the progressive icons that have defined decades have left long-lasting impressions and will always be remembered for their style and impact on popular culture. In 2016, their infamous looks will no doubt live on and inspire the young stars of tomorrow.
