An often-overlooked accessory, sunglasses serve not only as a means to protect your eyes, but also a statement about you; your personal style. So, how do you buy sunglasses that not only protect well, but are fashionable too?

Your face shape will determine what type of sunglasses will look best on you. Generally speaking, large faces look best with large frames, whereas for small faces the opposite is true.

However, particular face shapes also play a role in choosing sunglasses.

For example, if you have an oval-shaped face, count your blessings – almost any type of frame will work for you! However, to call attention to the balanced look of this type of face, look for sunglasses that have slightly square-ish frames, rounded at the corners. This pair would look great on an oval face.

If you have a square-shaped face, stay away from frames that are square themselves; it’s too much! Instead, balance your face shape with a pair of oval lenses. These are a great example of the type of sunglasses that will work best for you.

Rounder faces need sunglasses that will make the face appear longer. Avoid dainty frames; instead, look for a pair like these that will create the illusion of angularity because of the rectangular frames.

Finally, heart-shaped gals would do well with purchasing aviator-style glasses, or sunglasses that that are wider at the bottom than they are at the top. This will help soften the angular lines of your face; try these for a great fit.

While sunglasses serve an important function when it comes to protecting your eyes from harsh sunlight, they are often overlooked as a fashion staple. Fortunately, these tips should help you choose the frames that will have you lookin’ stylish this summer and all year ’round!

If you’re anything like the majority of women, you could be wearing a bra that doesn’t fit. If you’re wearing a bra that’s too large or too small, it’s time to do something about it!

Fortunately, I have a few tips to help you find the perfect bra for you.

Before you even think about trying on a new bra, you need to determine your correct measurements. Because every bra is measured differently, knowing your numbers is a crucial factor in finding the perfect bra.

If you don’t feel comfortable measuring yourself, go to the lingerie section in a department store. Once there, you can find trained professionals to accurately take your bust measurements so you know for sure what size you are.

After you have your measurements, choose a bras in your size to try on. A well-fitting bra won’t cut into your back or shoulders, and will be snug but not too tight. Similarly, the bra shouldn’t droop or gape, and you shouldn’t have to pull the straps up every five seconds. If any of this happens, the bra is too big or too small and you need to look for a different size.

Once you’ve tried on a range of bras, you should find two or three that fit perfectly. A great bra is a must to have, but they wear out easily – buy a few of your favorites, and change them out regularly for even wear.

I never thought I could pull off a strapless dress; I couldn’t have been more wrong!

Even if you aren’t endowed with an ample bustline, you can wear that gorgeous strapless beauty you’ve been eying. All it takes is a little know-how – fortunately for you, I have a few hints to teach you how to wear a strapless dress with style.

First and foremost, ensure the dress actually fits before you purchase it. Buy a dress that’s form fitting, but doesn’t force any body fat to pop out (ladies, you know what I’m talking about!) You’ll also want to find a dress that offers a fuller bottom, like this one. The full skirt on the bottom will balance out the form fitting top of the dress to create a look that’s simply beautiful.

Of course, wearing a strapless dress requires you to purchase special undergarments that won’t show through. The last think you want are your bra straps showing – it’s a strapless dress for a reason, honey!

Thankfully, there are a variety of strapless and/or convertible bras you can purchase to wear with your new dress. Forget about underwires, lace, or anything that much show through your strapless dress. Instead, look for a strapless or convertible bra that’s completely seamless and design-free for a smooth look and feel. Keep the same idea in mind for your bottom half, as well (there’s a reason thongs were invented!)

While a strapless dress doesn’t require a lot of fuss to make it look nice, a few accessories never hurts. Don’t overload on jewelry, however; instead, stick with a simple pair of chandelier earrings or a demure pendant for a look that’s totally stylish.

Now work the look, girl!
