Fashion Tips for the Tall Woman: Choosing Clothes that Flatter Your Stature
If you're a tall woman, you know how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit. Before you resign yourself to jumping off the fashion train due to all the small and uncomfortable styles, read these tips. You'll be surprised at how simple it is to find clothes that not only fit well but look great, too.
There are a lot of great things about being a tall woman. You can wear wide belts with confidence. You can wear horizontal stripes and textured patterns without appearing squat. You can also easily adapt most popular runway styles, since they are designed for tall women.
The main problem with shopping for a tall frame is finding pants that fit. Pants with more than a 32-inch inseam are sometimes hard to come by. If you're having trouble finding pants in your size, either try the men's department or shop in a tall woman's boutique for specific pieces. You can also try the online component of popular brick-and-mortar stores, such as New York & Company, Old Navy, and the Gap. (FYI, Old Navy Coupons are here; New York & Company coupons are here; and Gap coupons and promotions are here). The websites often feature more specialty sizes, including pants and dresses for tall women.
A lot of fashion guides give tips to tall women that try to camouflage their height, such as wearing flat shoes. The only problem is that these tips often work in the opposite way. Instead of trying to hide your tallness, why not embrace it? If you choose clothes that flatter your stature and don't try to hide your height, you will be more confident and carry yourself to your full height.
Emphasize Your Height
If you want to make the most of your extra inches and select outfits that emphasize your long physique, try these tips:
*Long dresses and monochromatic outfits emphasize length. A solid color or pattern from your shoulders to your ankles makes you look long and lean.
*Choose pants without cuffs. Cuffed pants can truncate your legs and make them appear shorter.
*Avoid large patterns. If you have to wear a pattern, make sure that it's small in size and is a color on color pattern.
*Vertical stripes and tailored darts make you look taller.
*Long scarves and necklaces give you a long and lean look. Sweep your hair up, don high heels and shoes with some interesting details to make yourself look even taller.
De-emphasize your Height
If, on the other hand, you want to play down your height a bit, follow these tips:
*Wear separates. When you wear tops and pants in different colors, it will break up the length in your body. The top half and the bottom half of your body will appear like two different sections instead of one long column.
*Wear pants that have cuffs. Your legs will look shorter if your pants end with a cuff.
*Look for a mixture of colors for your wardrobe. Black and dark colors make you look taller, so if you try a variety of colors you'll eliminate the illusion.
*Choose shoes with flat heels. Everyone knows that heeled shoes make you taller. With today's popular styles like ballet flats, you'll be able to look fashionable without adding extra inches to your stature.
No matter how you choose to deal with height you can find clothes and accessories that will accomplish the look you are after.

Improve Your Looks With Sedu Straightening Irons
All across the country top stylists are using special straighteners in order to create beautiful, healthy looking hair. When it comes to hair care in general, these straighteners are most demanded products. These are made of negative ionic technology and ceramic tourmaline plates. Standard ceramic irons do a decent job, but the Sedu produces as much as six times more negatively charged ions. They cut the time it takes to straighten your hair by half without causing any damage and leaves your hair three times smoother and silkier.
What do we exactly mean when we say tourmaline? Tourmaline is a precious stone that possesses natural unique ionic and infrared properties. The tourmaline ceramic irons are unique because of Tourmaline mineral presence. The secret is the use of this very expensive, natural emitter of negative ions and infrared heat, working like a magnet.
The silky hair surface and natural moisture are results of those negative ions that are creating a defence for the hair. Hair is lef silky and frizz free because of this, while it has a great shine, moisture protection and color - because there is no static electricity on the hair.
Sedu straighteners are sold exclusively in salons, beauty supply stores and online. Infra red heat is used when you turn on your sedu straightener, and it helps in keeping your hair stay fresh. As well as straightening your hair, sedu straighteners also produce tight ringlets or loose waves.
You will find the same technology in a hair straightener and a clothes iron. But keep in mind that the heat can have a bad influence on your hair, making it frizzy, dry and creating a straw like texture easily. Tourmaline ceramic plates will help that your straightener stops this and prevent any damage to happen to your hair. All sedu ceramic hair straighteners need thirty seconds to heat up, although they come in wide variety of widths, starting from one.5.
Both stylists and home consumers are choosing sedu as a hair straighteners. They are the next best thing to having your hair permanently or chemically straightened.

What Happened To Sedu Hairstyle?
The first part of your body that gives off an impression when you first meet someone is your face. But no matter how much your face is presentable and beautiful, it is still very close to some hair, hair that is framing that beautifukl face and can't get away from it. You know that the hair is a crown for every man and woman, so its best if you treat your hair as a royalty.
Having a beautiful and healthy head of hair boosts one's confidence and improves one's appearance so much so that it makes it easier to make a good impression on others. But too much bad chemicals and styling will damage hair, no matter how strong it is. You and your hair are now able to use the advancement of technology,ceramic hair irons and sedu that give great benefits.
Traditionally, hair care using hair irons was considered a no-no. For a long time it was thought that any hair care tool that emits heat to style the hair is a big nuisance and problem. The hair becomes easier to use and malleable because of the heat that comes from a ceramic flat iron, and this is the basic principle of work. But you have to know that the research showed that prolonged use of heating tools such as flat irons and blow dryers is causing damage to the hair.
It was learned that the hair over time got "cooked" by these heating processes and therefore rendered the hair unhealthy, unmanageable and unsightly. Our hair is made out of small things called follicles, and they look just like tiny scales. When the hair strand is healthy, the follicles are tight and closed, giving the hair strand a smooth and shiny feel and look. It is hard to style a dry and dull hair, but this is what happens when hair is unhealthy and lets all of its moisture escape through the follicles. And exactly this is the place where the hair irons come in to care about our hair.
The power of flat irons we have today is that they can manipulate our hair, by breaking down their structure and follicles with a little heat. To restore your hair to its natural original healthiness, you can utilize hair care using hair irons that are designed to break down your hair's molecular bonds by making it straight and fine again.

Halloween Contact Lenses - the Most Important Part of Your Costume
Want your eyes to look different? Halloween contacts will help you to achieve your goal. Find out which lenses are out there on the market and where you can get contacts that don't interfere with your vision and will make everybody’s head turn.
Color costume contacts - what aare your options?
There are two brands of Halloween contact lenses that make the best looking, high quality lenses - Crazy Lenses by Cooper Vision and Wild Eyes by Ciba Vision. Both companies are major manufacturers of prescription contacts, including corrective lenses, color contacts and theatrical lenses. So if you go with Wild Eyes or Crazy Lenses, you can be sure you are paying for high quality costume lenses .
Top selling costume contacts
- Cat’s Eye - yellow, white, green or red, with a vertical black pupil just like a real cat
- Complete white lens - makes your eye white, good for a zombie effect
- Black-out - makes your eye completely black
- Red Hot - for red vampire eyes
- Spiral contacts of different color - red, yellow and white, create a crazy effect
- Fire - bright yellow flames on a red background, around your pupil
- Bloodshot - red blood vessels over white background, very scary
Here are pics of costume contacts.
There are also many smaller companies and individual artists, who offer different designs for costume contact lenses. You can even get custom made lenses, with any design you like.
How to make sure your lenses are safe
You might have heard that Halloween contacts can damage your eyes. You shouldn’t worry; though, because high quality contacts are absolutely safe; only improper care of them can cause problems. If you already wear contact lenses for vision correction, care for costume contacts is absolutely the same as for ordinary contacts.
If it's your first time wearing contacts, though, be sure to consult your eye doctor before you order yourself a pair of theatrical contacts. All contact lenses come with instructions on how to care for them. Be sure to read and follow these instructions - taking care of your lenses takes only a couple minutes.
Things to remember:
- don’t wear your contacts for longer than 8 hours and never sleep in them
- only use contact lens solution to store and disinfect your contact lenses, never use tap water
- wash your hands before handling your contacts
- never wear a lens that is torn
- take your costume lenses off if they irritate your eyes
- never give your contact lenses to other people
Buying your Halloween contacts
Close to Halloween, you have probably seen these colorful boxes for sale everywhere - beauty salons, flea markets, even gas stations. However, it is not a good idea to buy your theatrical contact lenses from these places. Most of them sell no-brand costume contacts, so you can’t know where they were manufactured or from what materials. Remember, the surface of your eye is very delicate, and using paints that are not designed for contact lenses (as is the case with the majority of lenses available on the streets) can damage your eyes.
There are two safe ways to get costume contacts. One is to visit an eye doctor, get a prescription and order contact lenses through your doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can save a lot. As with most online orders, your contacts will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your order in advance.
Like the idea of costume contacts? They are great fun and, with the range of lenses on the market, you can find contact lensesto that you will love.
