Mens Designer Fashion for the Younger Generation 2011

Mens designer fashion this winter has exciting styles to suit everyone, from classy to casual and something for all ages. Menswear has never offered so much choice, with so many different styles and trends out there. If you are more of a country casual guy there is a great selection of knitwear like chunky cable sweaters and cardigans in natural colours like gray, olive, brown and beige or show off your body in a tight long sleeved brushed cotton v-neck neutral shades of black, white or navy. Also making a revival this season, are Aran and Fair Isle patterned knitwear but with a vibrant modern twist added to the traditional shapes and colours plus any item trimmed or lined in shearling.

Yet again, military style is a big influence this season whether you go top to toe with combat boots, trousers and coat embellished with shoulder lapels and brass buttons or take one of these items and mix it in with other trends. Military trends mix well with some of the more casual mens designer fashion trends too particularly if you stick to key colours like brown and beige, khaki, olive, navy and gray combined with neutral shades of cream white or black. There have been changes to mens designer suits with the skinny boy styles of late being replaced by a more chic style that can be worn by men of all ages. The new cut is, one that accents a sense of the masculine through three key silhouette elements - broad shoulders, a slim waist and slim trousers.
The sports coat or jacket is also back and great to team up with chinos or jeans for a more casual style; with double or single breasted to choose from. From classic pinstripes to traditional tweeds, to luxurious satin, soft cashmere and opulent velvet ; there is an abundance of fabrics out there this season in mens designer fashion to choose from. While velvet may not be to every man´s tastes, with fashion designers including it on many of the season´s catwalks, there are alternative ways to include it in your outfit. However, you do not have to wear this showy fabric from top to toe and can simply implement a touch of it into your apparel whether it is as a trim on your suit lapels or one item velvet straight leg pants, velvet waist coat or velvet suit jacket worn with an item in a contrasting material for a less ostentatious approach.

Self Massage Techniques

A massage, is a massage, is a massage. If you've ever had a massage taken then you'll know what I'm talking about. A massage aims at relaxing the body and thereby the mind. It leads to improving the blood flow in the body by activating certain select pressure points and thereby leads to improved health. It is one of the most basic techniques for getting rid of pressure and stress. It is also one of the most unique forms of skin care. But does one have to have an especially appointed masseuse to enjoy the benefits of massage therapy? Not necessarily. There have been several self massage techniques that have developed over the years which allow a person to take in the benefits of the same without having to depend on anyone else. What are these self massage techniques and what are the self massage tools that are used in this venture is what we will be looking through in the article that follows.

Techniques for Self Massage

While it is not possible to get into the details of employing self massage techniques on every inch of the body, we will take you through some of the most basic exercises that will help the overall body. There are select actions that can be employed for administering a self massage and these include the kneading (with the help of knuckles), rubbing (with the palm), slapping (light slapping over the skin) and stroking (delicate but strong strokes) methods. In the following paragraphs we will tell you how to give a good massage to self.

Tense and Release
This method works for the entire body. Tense the muscles and hold for 5 seconds then release. This can be done for the buttocks, thighs, eyes, face and hands. This helps release the tension. For difficult to reach areas like the back, a loofah can be used to stroke the back as a back massage. This helps in improving blood circulation and is one of the most effective back massage technique.
Here's how to give a massage - Every morning get your body to jump start into action by rubbing and kneading the entire length and width of the body. Especially concentrate on all the muscles. Start with the lower body and slowly work your way up. Use oil if there is time or else even a basic massage will do. This helps to loosen the muscles and free them for action. It also helps to improve blood circulation. It is necessary to carry out this routine before and after an exercise routine.

Hands and Feet
Use a lotion or an oil and spread some over the legs and feet. Then rub the oil into the skin with deliberate strokes till it seeps in. interlock the fingers into your toes and with the foot on the heel, move the feet in an anti clockwise and clockwise direction 6-10 times. Pull each toe as one of the foot massage techniques to release the tension. Do the same with the hands as well - stroke the length of the hands and then interlocking the fingers move the wrist around. Then clasp the hand in a fist and use the thumb to use circular strokes throughout the hand and palm. Then pull each finger to release the built up tension.

Face
There are several facial massage techniques that can be used to relax the face muscles. Apply an oil that suits your skin type with the help of your finger tips. Then placing the palms of both hands on the lower cheek, start by massaging the cheeks in a circular motion. Slowly move to the forehead (you can use 3 fingers and rub outwards) and the the area surrounding the eyes. Use the same circular motion over your chin as well. Cover your eyes with your fingertips and gently tap the eyes and the surrounding area. Pull at the ears and stroke the nose a downward clasping motion. Rub oil over the neck and stroke in upward motion strokes. This is one of the most relaxing neck massage techniques.

Winter Makeup TWinter 2011.

Winter Makeup TWinter 2011.

This winter the makeup is all about contrast. Contrast in the varieties as well as in the colors you will be using and the looks you will be achieving. From pale, natural and nude to bold and smoked out black, this winter is filled with fun for all makeup lovers.
The most striking look, as in the most different from what has been the trend is the complete lack of liner and mascara that has been gracing the run way.

Using bold shadows of warm copper, gold and bronze, blended out over the lid and even beneath the eye, brings sharp contrast when worn without any eye liner and mascara. This completely nude look plays up flawless, china doll skin with subtle blush and an almost nude lip.
Gracing the center of the spectrum is the daring use of ice blue shimmer across the lid, either worn with white or silver liner, boldly winged out with a nod towards the sixties and seventies, complete with false lashes or completely lacking liner and lashes. Choose either nude lips or bold plum lips to complete this daring midrange look.

Black of course never leaves the fashion files and the smokey eye is ever present this winter. Black and smokey grays are smudged out over the lid and down beneath the eye to give a mysterious cat eye, complete with winged out liner. This look is worn with a nude lip and just a hint of blush along the cheek bone.

All three looks are a striking deviation from the norm, nixing the usual vintage Hollywood glam and rock-a-billy pinup that we have seen inundating the makeup runway.

So, pull out those coppers, golds or even a funky ice blue and play with a new look and a new you!

Winter 2011 Hair Colors

As the days shorten and grow colder we begin to miss the warmth of the sun. Perhaps it is the reason that this winter, hair colors are warming up, as if they are creating an homage to the summer we are beginning to miss.

Blondes are warming up their hair with lowlights of rich browns or coppers. Adding natural looking streaks that blend and flow. Brunettes are adding life and luster to their hair by using highlights of caramel and bronze to lighten and warm, or going rich with deep chocolates & mahogany.

And red heads, well, red in definitely in. Nothing tops reds from bright, brash coppers to deep, rich burgundy. It’s fun to be a siren and red is the best way to do it.

Adding some warmth to your hair is a great way to freshen up your look without breaking your budget. There is no need to completely change your hair color, not when you can have a demi-permanent color added to your current color to add some depth and warmth. Not only will it make you feel like a brand new woman, it’s a cost effective way to add space between your color services.
Nothing is more thrilling then walking out of the salon with a whole new you, and adding a dab of copper or mahogany to your locks will give you that feeling while leaving a little green in your purse. After all, this is the time of year when we need to look our best and find that our budget is stretched thin by holiday parties and gift giving.
So indulge just a little. A little bit of color, some gold, some bronze, or some copper and rock those holiday parties and make your rivals (you know you have them) green with envy

While earlier, these pants were sewed in such a manner that the pleats were created inwards and tucked inside the pants, over years the lack of elegance associated with outward pleats came to a stop. Pleated pants fashion were a huge fashion trend for a long time till in the 50's and 60's preferences changed and more and more people started opting for flat front pants. In the eighties, though, the pleated pants, out of style till then, came back with a bang and today they have been revived once again. This only goes to prove how cyclical fashion trends are. In this article, we tell you what are pleated pants and which body type these types of pants suit the most.

What are Pleated Pants?

First and foremost, it is important to know that pleated pants can be worn by both men and women, provided that they fit well. It is possible to buy pleated pants for both casual and formal occasions but it is generally more suited to formal wear. So, if you are looking for business formal attire, then it may be a good idea to opt for a pair of pleated pants. If you are looking for a pair of casual pleated trousers, then opt for khaki pants.

Pleated pants are stitched in such a manner that they have either single folds or double folds. If your pair of pleated pants have double folds, then be rest assured that the pleat that is located next to the zipper will be deep and long. The pleats are folded in such a manner that they face outwards, situated facing the pockets. If you prefer though, you can also opt for a pair of pants that have inverted pleats. Generally pleats are added to pants or any other apparel to give it a slight design detail but it also has a functional utility that it adds room and width to the silhouette of the pant. This helps because when the folds of the pleat open up, it allows for an expansion of the width of the hip. If you want to avoid allowing this expansion to be visible to the naked eye, then you can easily add a straight stitch along the line of the fold. This causes the width to seem much lesser than it actually is.
