Saving that Sun-Kissed Glow
Another day in the sun and now it’s time to rinse off and get ready for dinner. But what’s this? Your face is a tad burned. Worse than TAG Heuer Watches
burned – it’s as dry as the sand you were just sitting on. So what is there to do when your skin is going absolutely crazy? Well I can help. I have tried just about every product on the market and will now give you a few of my secrets.
First off, you need to start with that burn that’s on your cheeks. Some will tell you that you need to run out to Rite Aid and buy some Aloe, but that’s not true. You actually need to run out to your nearest grocery store and buy an aloe plant leaf. In this case, natural is definitely better. Buy yourself a leaf and then cut it in half vertically so that there are two equal strips. Gently rub the gel side of the strip on any burned areas of your face. Now I’m sorry to say that you may not want to go out to dinner right away after applying aloe to your cheeks. Wait a bit, and rinse. It’s best to keep it on overnight. Trust me, you will see results.
Now, for that dry skin run over to Sephora and buy Josie Maran’s Argan Oil. It’s an oil that comes in a cute retro bottle that will take away dryness just as quickly as it came. Apply a few drops to your fingertips and then apply evenly to your face. But remember – let it sit for a little while before putting make-up on over top.
Another dry skin remedy for those willing to spend a bit more is Crème De La Mer Moisturizing Crème. I have eczema on my face, so I usually need something that has industrial strength moisture. Now, the price may cause your eyebrows to shoot above your head at $130 for a small size, but trust me this crème is worth it. I see it make appearances in magazines and celebrity top picks all the time, so it must be working for more people than just me.
Tart Up Your Tips with Sun-sational Nail Shades
Even the smallest detail can make the greatest difference. That being said, your nails should be just as fashionable as the rest of you. In the summer, all of your deep crimson colors and navy hues can take a break while bright colors take the stage. This season, fresh fruity colors are a must. Here are some cute colors I recommend:
TAG Heuer Watches
Loreal Mango Get-Em
Revlon Tropical Temptation
Orly Passion Fruit
China Glaze Towel Boy Toy
For those of you who want to buy their entire summer nail color collection in one burst, the China Glaze Poolside Collection is just for you. Their colors guarantee your fingertips are fashionable as you lounge by the pool. Now, if only there was a box set of bikinis to match…
My last little tip for all of you, is the color Tuscan Sun. Once summer starts to die down, and September begins to creep in, the search begins for that color that’s just in between summer and fall. This brown is not too bright, yet not too dark. It goes perfectly with pastel earth tones, which are Fall’s essentials.

Boyish:
TAG Heuer Watches
If you’re slender with a small bust and narrow hips, take a tip from Kristen Stewart’s book and create a more feminine shape with texture and volume. Try our low back lace prom dress with netted skirt – now just £30 – or the Eighties-style bow-skirt dress with structured skirt.
Big bust:
For support for larger busts, choose a dress with straps, as well as a plunging neckline or bustier style to show off your assets. Go for the embellished strap babydoll dress with gorgeous gathered bust detail, or the embellished harness dress with structured bustier cups.
Rounded tummy:
To cover those lumps and bumps, try chiffon numbers that will fall flatteringly over problem areas. The VIP wire-frill hem dress will draw attention away from your tummy to the structured skirt detail, while the light material of the jewelled gathered bust dress floats flatteringly from the beaded band down over your midriff.
Pear-shaped:
If you’re pear shaped, make the most of your feminine curves by creating smooth lines over your lower half with block-coloured tulip-style skirts such as the beaded pleat skirt dress or strapless jewelled pocket dress. Or accentuate your womanly shape with a dress that nips in at the waist, such as the one-shoulder Grecian dress with waist band

Five Top Tips to Identify Vintage Clothing
Leading Vintage Clothing retailer Devoted 2 Vintage reveals five key indicators to tell a vintage garment from a modern reproduction.TAG Heuer Watches
The market for vintage clothing continues to grow and with that more and more sellers are entering the market. However, without the experience and knowledge many modern items are being sold incorrectly as vintage.
TAG Heuer Watches
There is no substitute for experience but for those just starting their vintage collection there are some basic indicators to look for. There are always exceptions but by following these simple checks you should be able to avoid many mistakes.
Indicator 1 – Look at the zip. Does the dress have a metal or vinyl zip? Vinyl zips were not widely used on dresses until mid-late 1960’s so the presence of a metal zip could indicate a pre-1970’s dress. The location of the zip is also a key indicator. Also the location of the zip is important. Up to the 1950s the zips were often placed at the side of the dress, moving to the back during the 1950s and 1960s.
Indicator 2 – Look at the labels. There are three types of labels to look for; the makers label, the size label and care label. There is an excellent vintage label resource on the Vintage Fashion Guild web page were you can look up most important vintage labels. If you can’t find your label here look at the other labels. Before the 1960’s the size labels typically indicated the hip size in inches, after this sizes such as 12, 14 etc. were more commonly used. These standard sizes have change over the years so a 14 in the 1960s is equivalent to a 1970’s size 12 and modern size 10 so check the bust measurement. Care labels are also a good indicator; they were only introduced in the mid 1960’s and only became widely used in the 1970s. The Pure New Wool symbol was only introduced in the 1970s. The absence of any labels would normally indicate that the dress was home made and very common before the 1970’s
Indicator 3 – Look at the garment construction. Vintage dresses are more likely to be hand made with details like hook and eye fasteners and poppers to secure the garments. Also, internal bra straps were common in the 1950s. Underskirts were common in the 1950’s; look for net and muslin underskirts, often with metal hoops sewn in the hem to give the skirts more volume.
Indicator 4 – Look at the fabric. This is a skill that will be developed by handing vintage clothes. Modern mass produced fabrics are rarely the same quality as vintage fabrics. So it is worth spending time in a reputable vintage shop feeling the fabrics, when you then compare this with a modern dress the differences are apparent. The type of fabric used is also a good way of dating dresses. Rayon and taffeta were widely used in the 1950’s and in the 1960’s polyester; nylon and Crimpolene were commonly used. Lycra was only introduced in the 1980’s.
Indicator 5 – Look at the style of the dress. This alone is not an accurate indicator because there are many vintage styles have been reproduced over the years. The 1940’s shoulder pads were widely used but were also popular in the 1980’s. The two most popular styles in the 1950’s were the shirtwaist dress, with buttons to the front, a nipped in waist and full pleated skirt and the wiggle dress with lovely fitted hourglass shape. The 1960’s saw the introduction of the classis mini skirt and simple shift dress. The maxi dress became more popular in the late 1960’s and into the 1970’s. The more flamboyant 1970s demanded more fitted styles with plunging necklines and angel sleeves.
Using all these key indicators should lead you through the minefield of buying vintage and help to prevent you from making mistakes. As your collection grows so will your experience and confidence but as long as you buy items that you love then even the mistakes don’t matter too much.
