“Winter, spring, summer or fall.. All you gotta do is call.. “

Hmmm… that’s an old song in case you don’t know. I just remembered the song because it is related to the topic I’m about to blog about. I can feel how time flies so fast and so many years have already passed since I was so lost with fashion. When I was still a teen-ager, I really had a hard time catching up with the latest fashion trends. I was just about to learn about something, buy one for myself and I just realize that a newer trend is out in the market.

I just realized that fashion does not always have to be expensive and it comes in a cycle. The colors that are perfect for the season are always the same every year and knowing the right colors for the season would make you fashionable and cost you just a little at the same time.

Let’s start off with Spring. This is the season when trees are lively and flowers bloom. Mother Nature seems to give us a very light atmosphere and this season is the best season to wear pastel colors. Fresh colors are often associated with Easter and the flowers of May.

Summer is the time when the sun is blazing hot and colors everywhere are always bright. If you would try to look at the trends every year, you will see that the liveliest colors are worn during summer. Prints, patterns and vibrant colors are the best during this time. Stay away from dull colors like brown, gray and black.

Next is the Fall that creates a slightly lonesome atmosphere. This is the time when colors associated with bronze are worn. Shades of brown, burnt orange, navy blue, maroon and other dark and lonely colors goes well with the mood of Fall.

Lastly is Winter when dark colors, especially black is the color you could see almost anywhere. Days are shorter than the night and when people leave their office, off to their homes, the clothes they wear try to mimic the color of the surroundings. White is sometimes worn during this season but black, navy blue, dark brown and forest green are better.

Knowing the perfect colors for the season is the key to cheaper yet stylish fashion sense. Keep those summer clothes and use them next year and bring out the ones for the next season.

When traveling, ladies and sometimes even men who are very particular with the clothes they wear are having a hard time to budget the luggage they could bring because of the certain limitations implemented. Especially for ladies, clothes are not enough to keep their style. Accessories, shoes, make-up and a lot more things are needed to look perfect and stylish all the time. The solution for this is planning ahead the things to bring and wear during the travel. A list may always be helpful to ensure nothing important will be left behind.

First, consider where you will be going and determine the clothes you will be wearing that suits the place you will visit. It is a good idea to bring a bunch of plain blouses and a one or a few pair of pants and bring out the creativity in you. Accessorize so it wouldn’t be obvious you are wearing the same clothes especially for long vacations when you can’t bring a unique pair to wear in every day. Black and white clothes look well with most colors, so a black pair of pants could be matched with more than one kind of top. Bring lots of underwear, of course. Also, don’t forget to bring comfortable clothes for you to wear during bedtime.

Next, consider your skincare. Are you going to the beach? Do you need ample protection from the sun? Then you need a sunblock. On the other hand, for places with a dry climate, rich moisturizer and a lip balm are all you need to care for your skin.

Lastly, plan your makeup. Are you going to the beach? If yes, you wouldn’t need too much makeup. Review you scheduled clothes during your travel and think whether you really need that complete set of makeup you have. Sometimes, bringing powder, a blush, a lipstick and eyeliner would enough.



Do you want to wear short skirts but are afraid to expose your map of varicose veins on your legs? This is a huge problem for most ladies especially for those who already gave birth, when these veins have become most noticeable. There are also several other reasons why women suffer from spider veins and that includes too much exposure to sunlight, intake of steroid containing drugs or could also be hereditary.

Having varicose veins is really a big problem especially for those people who want to expose more of their legs. Not only that, varicose veins are also very painful especially during cold weather and during your menstrual period. When the veins are giving you the most hurtful pain, that is also the time that the veins are most evident. When the veins hurt, it is because the blood does not flow freely so you have to stretch your legs straight to induce good blood flow. There are also stockings which could be worn when the veins get painful but this can just control the pain.

Controlling and permanently eliminating this problem would require you to undergo surgery that could really be painful and costly too. There are some that inject a drug into the veins then the veins will just disappear. Others remove a few of the veins since they are already too many and blood flow could easily be compensated by the veins left on your legs.

Mixing and matching clothes and accessorizing are so easy for me. What gives me a hard time is putting on make up that matches my facial features and the clothes I wear. Then I bumped into this article and I decided to blog about it, to help those out there who are also lost when it comes to make up. The summary of the article I read can be stated in just one sentence and that is “match your colors with your makeup”.

The very first thing to know is to the color of your face, eyes and hair and the natural contrast they have with each other. Here are the different types of contrasts and the corresponding type of makeup that goes well with each one.

Dark hair + light skin + medium to dark eyes = high contrast. This contrast goes perfectly with a more dramatic makeup and that is the type of makeup that is definitely noticeable. Try dark colors for your eyes, lips or both and you could bring out the glamour in you.

Medium-brown hair + medium-light skin + medium dark eyes = medium contrast. Wear makeup that is less dramatic that means lighter and cooler colors

Blonde hair + light-blue eyes + light skin = low contrast. Put on makeup that’s softly blended and your face and makeup will both be surely noticed.

You could also consider your skin texture. Darker colors would give more depth if you have a smooth-textured face. On the other hand, darker colors or extra shadows in faces with wrinkles or scars could make those marks more evident.

Aside from your hair color, you could also consider your hairstyle and match it with a certain type of makeup. Curly hairs need a clean hairstyle to expose your face and the perfect makeup you put on it. On the other hand, letting down your straight hair would allow you to put on more dramatic makeup.

Hiding the not-so-good features is not always the best way to look beautiful. A better way is to accent your most exciting and interesting features and diminish those not-so-good to ones.
