Runway Rundown: London Fashion Week

At Tom Ford’s show in London last week, floor-to-ceiling mirrors obscured the walls, and the soft gray velvet sofas were custom-built to fit the room. Thus ensconced, guests sat and played with their champagne flutes before the show began, feeling, for the first time since the international run of fashion weeks began, many snowstorms ago, in New York, like they were at a catwalk show in the movies.
Ford, who is originally from Texas, presents his collections in London, and his show is usually rollicking and frankly vulgar, leaning toward pasted-on dresses that leave no doubt as to the wearer’s desire (even if, in reality, it’s only for attention). This season, his offerings were relatively tame—at least, by Ford standards—which meant, for instance, that a two-piece fire-engine-red crocodile ensemble was without further embellishment. The models wore stiletto boots that were initialled “TF,” a high-end version of the kind of decoration that used to require a BeDazzler. There were sequinned dress-length football jerseys decorated with the number “61” (Ford’s birth year) and the word “molly” with a slash through it, a reference, knowing audience members whispered to their clueless seatmates, to Jay Z’s anti-drug lyric “I don’t pop molly, I rock Tom Ford.”
At Mary Katranzou, the dresses were slick and lovely enough for a young BAFTA nominee, and, in fact, those awards were taking place on the same evening. (Red-carpet devotees, who rushed back to their hotel televisions, were disappointed to find that, unlike their American counterparts, the Brits offered only a measly half-hour red-carpet pre-show, not the marathon that we are treated to Stateside before our own awards programs.) Some of Katranzou’s clever frocks were made of sewn-together patches the size and shape of Boy Scout merit badges; others were constructed of chain mail hung with dangling charms. One startling sweatshirt sported a 3-D penguin that appeared to emerge from the front (cute, if you like 3-D penguins), reminiscent of a Comme des Garçons frock in stores right now, which is made of some kind of flowered, papery material and has a whole Teddy bear (not detachable) stuck to its bodice.

Tress success: Easy hair ideas for spring and summer

Old Man Winter is making his retreat, meaning we can (soon, at least) say goodbye to beanie hat hair and stop worrying about heavy snow putting a damper on our curls.
Summer, though, poses hair styling challenges of its own: The heat index and subsequent frizz factor, or perhaps those sweltering days when you just need to get your hair off your neck - but don't want to confine your tresses to yet another boring ponytail.
Thankfully, there are plenty of chic summer hairstyles that don't require spending a ton of time primping.
PART WAYS WITH YOUR TYPICAL PONYTAIL
Models strutting the runways at New York Fashion Week this spring previewed a dramatic new hair trend: deep side parts.
This is an easy look to perfect, especially with second-day hair, and can be incorporated into a quick up-do, says Michelle Forst of George the Salon (www.GeorgeTheSalon.com) in Chicago.
"Make an extreme part to one side of the head," Forst says. "Then, use pins to pull the lighter side over. Twist the hair so it will be easy to pin."
Another way to play with parts?
"Make a center part and pull into a ponytail," Forst says. "Back comb your ponytail and use five or so pins to pin it for a messy, but sleek look."

Chanel Couture Spring 2014

Karl Lagerfeld conceived the space in which he presented his Chanel couture show on Tuesday morning as a futuristic nightclub and not, he stressed, a disco. That’s démodé.

Karl Lagerfeld's 30-year track record at Chanel speaks to the validity of his judgment. Were the sneakers shtick? Of course they were (although expect them to sell), but shtick with a point. Lagerfeld was proclaiming the currency of couture: It can be young, it can be active, it can be versatile, all while remaining consummately couture.

The collection of Chanel was hyper-focused yet diverse. One major theme was the intense corsetry exposed between cropped jackets and belled skirts as well as breathe-freely waistless looks as different as divine diva gowns and a sheer T-shirt-and-bicycle shorts ensemble. The latter pulsed with the kind of fashion audacity that cries out for a brave starlet to don at the Oscars.

Kering Invests in Bottega’s Main Man,about USA feshion

Kering has invested in Tomas Maier, the eponymous label by Bottega Venta’s creative director. The conglomerate, which also owns Bottega Veneta, would help Maier to develop his brand, founded in 1997, growing it from a ready to \wear offering to a lifestyle collection.
“I’m excited to enter into this new chapter for the Tomas Maier brand in parallel with my role at Bottega Veneta,” the designer told WWD. “I could not imagine a better partner than Kering for the Tomas Maier brand. We speak the same language and have a mutual understanding of how to take this business we started 15 years ago to new heights.”
Maier joined Bottega Veneta in 2001 and has helped it become Kering’s largest luxury label after Gucci. Kering has already acquired majority shares in Italian jeweler Pomellato and the London fashion house Christopher Kane this year, as well as a minority investment in New York designer Joseph Altuzarr

6 Strong Reasons To Start Eating Avocados

Native to Mexico and Central America, avocados are well known for their numerous health benefits, as well as for their delicious taste. No matter if you eat them raw or juice them, avocados should be part of your daily diet, since they will increase you mineral and vitamin intake, and will also lower the long-term risk for various diseases and ailments – including some that can be fatal. If you are still not sure whether you should start eating avocados regularly, here are six strong reasons to do so:

1. Avocados Are Very Rich in Carotenoids

Avocados contain a plethora of nutrients, and carotenoids (lutein, in particular) are certainly the most important ones, given the fact that they protect you against eye disease. Your sight is by far one of your most valuable assets, and while it is true that it inevitably degrades as we age, there is something we can do to slow down the process and even reverse eye disease, in certain cases. As is often the case, it starts with a good, balanced and nutritious diet – one that involves eating at least one avocado per day, since this is undeniably the best way to get the carotenoids (from lutein and alpha-carotene to beta-carotene, tocopherol and zeaxanthin) that your body so much needs. Besides this, avocados taste great, and you can easily add them to your salad – this is certainly the best way to increase your daily lutein intake, rather than resorting to pills and dietary supplements.

2. Avocados Are Great for Lowering Your Cholesterol

As you may already know, there are two types of cholesterol: the ‘good’ cholesterol and the ‘bad’ cholesterol. The latter can wreak havoc on your arteries and your vital organs, if you don’t do something about it. It often happens that fatty foods and sugar are the main culprits behind high levels of bad cholesterol, but fortunately you can easily keep it under control by simply eating avocados on a regular basis. By consuming avocados, you lower your cholesterol in a fast, efficient, natural and side-effect-free way – mainly due to the high amounts of oleic acid present in this delicious fruit. By lowering your level of LDL cholesterol due to its high folate content, avocados will also lower your risk of developing heart disease.

10 Tips To Help You Fall Asleep Faster

Sleep is one of the most important things that we do. If you’re having difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep, it can make for a very long day of feeling groggy and dazed. Everyone needs a minimum of 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night, and it’s important to know how to fall asleep fast. For those who are having chronic and consistent problems falling asleep and staying asleep, it can be frustrating lying in bed, tossing and turning all night. If sleep is eluding you, here are 10 tips to help you to fall asleep fast:

 Make sure that the temperature of the bedroom is comfortable for you. Some people like a warm room, while others prefer it to be a little bit cooler when they sleep. If it’s summertime and the room is too hot, you can use a ceiling fan or a small table fan to keep the air moving, which may help you fall asleep. Allowing fresh air into your room by opening a window can also be helpful, but make sure you have a screen on the window to keep the bugs out!

 Use comfortable pillows. Whatever type of pillow you prefer, flat or full, should be available on your bed, and there should be enough pillows you can use to make yourself comfortable. Some choose to use a full-length body pillow for support, while others just want to support the head and neck. Memory foam pillows give the best support, and they adjust to the specific shape of your neck and head. If your head is propped up too high, you can wind up with a very stiff neck and develop headaches, too.

 Wear something comfortable to bed. If you choose uncomfortable sleepwear (too tight, too scratchy, etc.), it can affect your ability to get to sleep. Choose clothing made from a material that feels good on your skin, whether cotton or silk or something else. Some people prefer to sleep in the nude, so that they are unrestricted and can move around freely. If you do not like to sleep in the buff, try stripping down to your underwear and a tank top. This also helps people who tend to get too hot in the middle of the night and therefore have difficulty sleeping through the night.

How This One Trick Could Transform Your Body

Reading about sports these days, we are constantly bombarded with news of top notch athletes being exposed for using illegal steroids.
Steroid use involves huge costs, legal issues, and above all, potential health problems. With such risks, you wonder why anyone would be tempted to go this route.
Fortunately, steroid use may eventually be a thing of the past.  That’s because medical researchers studying how the human body builds muscle and endurance are developing safe and legal substances which can increase the body's ability to build muscle, without the health risks associated with steroids.
One of the most interesting fields of research surrounds a naturally occurring chemical compound called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, which means it helps move oxygen to the muscles when they need it most. Increased nitric oxide in the blood stream signals the blood vessel walls to relax, which allows more blood to flow to the body's muscles, thus delivering more oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
It’s been shown to lead to:

• Drastic Muscle Gains
• Increased Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery
• Boosted Strength, Endurance, and Power
• Support for Your Immune System
• Immediate Results
• Total Body Transformation

Get Enough Sleep

Getting enough sleep ensures that your body and mind have had the opportunity to plug in, turn off, and rest thoroughly.

It may not seem like a big deal but chances are if you can get it together enough to hit the pillow at a reasonable time and stay there for eight hours, you’ll have more energy and be more focused, not to mention prepared to start the day.

A New Diet Pill That's Actually Backed by Testing and Research

It seems like every day there's another new weight loss product on the market, and just as quickly some pill or supplement is being recalled — either because they don't work or they're not safe. One of the key reasons for this is simple: money.
These fly-by-night diet companies create "new" products that they say will help people lose weight, but they don't always conduct proper research on what they're putting into them. They instead go for the latest "fad" weight loss ingredients.
That's not good for two key reasons:

1. Many of these ingredients haven't undergone any kind of real testing to see if they're effective for weight loss.
2. Mixing supplements together without proper research can produce poor results.

Enter Slim Science, a new weight-loss product that's getting a lot of industry attention —even being picked up exclusively by GNC stores within three days of its release. Slim Science comes from the Boston-based nutritional specialists behind such top-selling, highly-respected products as Nugenix, Beneflex and Instaflex. These researchers carefully selected key ingredients with proven research and clinical studies to create the powerful Slim Science formulation.
Slim Science contains Super CitriMax, an extract from the south Asian fruit Garcinia Cambogia. Combined studies from the Creighton School of Pharmacy and the University of Houston show that, due to its unique biochemistry, Super CitriMax can help curb your appetite. Super CitriMax is also clinically proven to enhance an increased feeling of fullness so that you eat less.

Ways to Have Great Style on a Low Budget

It is definitely a challenge to stay on a fixed budget and look great at the same time, but if you’re willing to make a little effort, it is possible to get the latest fashions for a fraction of the cost. Those who shop in the high-end stores are obviously able to afford the cost, but for most people this is simply not possible. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars every month to look great, and in fact you can do it for a fraction of the cost. Here are the top ten ways to have a great style on a low budget:. We all have great items in our closet that we are completely tired of, but other people may find exciting – and the same can be said for your friends. Choose a group of your friends who are all close in size so that you can exchange clothes with one another. Clothing-swap parties are a great way to pick up new fashion items and freshen up your wardrobe for no money at all – except maybe the cost of a bottle of wine and an appetizer to share with your friends. Any clothing that is left over at the end of the party can be donated to a charitable organization. There are certain ‘foundation’ wardrobe pieces that will never go out of style, so you can choose a few of those pieces and know they can always be worn, now or in the future. Try to avoid trendy colors and patterns when you shop for these foundation pieces, and look for quality materials such as wool and silk that stand the test of time.

How to Color Your Hair Like an A-List Celebrity

Women often envy celebrities because of their great-looking, flawless hair. From Mia Farrow's classic pixie cut to Jennifer Aniston's Friends-era haircut called "The Rachel," we've been imitating our favorite star's styles for years.
Case in point, Glamour Magazine's UK edition just published the most popular celebrity hair trends for 2013, and short cropped cuts are back. Michelle Williams sports brilliant blonde locks, Rihanna and Emma Watson offer really rich reds, and Oscar-winners Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry are living for dark, glistening blacks.
While not everyone can pull off these short hair styles, there is something all these lovely ladies have in common, and which every woman can achieve for themselves: incredible color.
No, we're not talking about using a basic over-the-counter treatment. Those may be affordable, but these mass-produced colors don’t last as long, don't leave your hair feeling soft, and are often messy to apply. This is not a star-worthy option.
Big name celebrities obviously have big name stylists. However, even mainstream salons can provide high-quality hair dye and great results. The problem, of course, is that these visits are pricey, especially for women who frequently treat gray roots.
Now an innovative new company called eSalon is bringing celebrity-grade hair color to the masses — and at prices everyone can afford.
Getting the Perfect Hair Color
The reason salon treatments are so effective —and expensive— is because formulating hair color is both a science and an art. You get a fully personalized, custom blended color created specifically for you, and the ingredients are a much higher quality. That shows in the way it lasts, as well as how it makes your hair look and feel.

How to Find the Right Anti-Aging Cream

In a society that has become increasingly obsessed with youth, there are a growing number of young women taking dramatic and expensive measures to stop the signs of aging in its tracks.

These women resort to cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections, laser treatments, liposuction, and face lifts. Now there's also costly Thermage® — a hot radio frequency treatment popular among A-list celebrities that's used to boost collagen levels to tighten and lift the skin.

For most women, these procedures are prohibitively expensive, and they can come with an even greater price: painful recovery, eerily shiny skin, and possible facial paralysis.

Fortunately, there are other highly-effective and less-invasive solutions.

Dermatologists recommend protecting your skin early, rather than waiting until lines are etched into your face. Even if you're in your early twenties and the signs of aging are not prominent, it’s vital to take the necessary steps to protect your skin. Also, if you are in your 30s, 40s or beyond, it is important to treat these signs of appearance.
Getting enough sleep, eating right, not smoking, cutting back on alcohol consumption, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun can all contribute to skin that looks and feels fresh, clear and vibrant. Using a really good moisturizer every day is also key, but the cosmetics industry is bigger than ever, and their marketing tactics make purchasing the right product overwhelming. And endless options on the store shelf cause confusion.

1 Tip of the Happiest and Most Successful People

What's the difference between confident, determined, highly successful individuals and regular, every day men and women?
It's not money, power or family ties—it's happiness.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that happiness leads people to be more sociable and generous, more productive at work, to make more money, and to have stronger immune systems. This leads medical professionals to suggest that everyone should try to increase the frequency of positive emotions in their lives.
The problem is that maintaining a good spirit is tough. Daily disappointments and stressors can wear on even the most confident person, leading to bad moods and heightened emotions, all of which create a negative mindset that drags a person down.
Some doctors are quick to prescribe mood altering solutions, but people are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with this expensive chemical-based option. And while health experts advocate 30 minutes of exercise a day and a balanced diet to boost the spirit, it may not always be feasible or even work for everyone. As a result, many people are looking for a mental pick-me-up that can help balance their mood and reduce the effects of anxiety—and that's safe, non-addictive, and natura
A new product called Lumiday is quickly becoming a favorite supplement among these individuals looking for a healthy lift. It works by combining the most effective mood and mind ingredients on the market to help people sleep, control their appetites, reduce stress, and boost energy levels.
Clinical studies have shown that the nutrients in Lumiday provide much needed support to a healthy nervous system, promote healthy brain function, reduce the effects of stress, and may help regulate sleep and appetite.

The Qualities That Employers Value Most

It’s true that competition for the most coveted jobs has become intense. Most job seekers wish they could unlock the secret formula to winning the hearts and minds of employers. There are a few characteristics that employers value most in their employees – characteristics that can be possessed by all, regardless of their job title. In today’s highly competitive job market, those on the lookout for work can increase their marketability by learning to improve on the characteristics that employers desire. There are seven skills that employers want you to have, regardless of the industry you are working in. The attributes below can not only help you land a good job, but also improve your chances to succeed at work.

The single most important trait that most employers look for is effective communication. People who can articulate their thoughts have an edge over others who can’t. Employers highly prize both written and verbal communication skills. The ability to convey your ideas clearly and speak confidently with your bosses is an important part of your professional life.

No doubt intelligence is one of the prime qualities that an employer looks for in an employee. Studies have shown that the productivity of an employee is directly proportional to intelligence level. Intelligence is not just about a high IQ score – it’s an employee’s underlying ability to tackle complex tasks, plan well, multitask, prioritize and organize their work properly. An intelligent employee knows how to practically tackle problems that arise in day-to-day tasks. As a candidate, a good way of showing your intelligence is to show curiosity and ask questions that are relevant to the job. Asking good questions and listening fully to the answers will make you look smart.
