An interesting fashion created by a Taiwanese designer. What do you think of her creative outfits?

Have you seen the latest Croc style? I personally think it’s not that looking with the ribbon on top. The style is called “Audrey” and it is a slide-on with no strap, and it has the ugliest ribbon bow on the top. Crocs has been really popular and are worn all over because of how comfortable it is made. But, I don’t understand why there is a ribbon on top when the color of the ribbon does not even match the shoe at all. Can someone tell me, why the ribbon is there? Would you wear this?

Do men really wear makeup? It seems like some guys really do apply make up since the “Guyliner” and “Natural Lashes for Men product” are out in stock. The fake lashes are basically the same as the ones they make for women, but just a little more natural looking and with a virtually clear strip along the base, so there’s no tell-tale false lashline.

Instead of buying women’s cosmetic make-up, there’s an eye-liner especially made for guys. Which they named it “Guyliner.” I guess it makes the guys feel better for purchasing a MEN product, instead of a women huh?!  So, what do you think of these new cosmetic products for the men?  Guys, if you are reading this, would you really wear fake lashes and eyeliners? And, ladies what would you think if your man was wearing the same make up as you?

For the past few years fashion has been rocked by the creative einstein Christian Audigier. His designs have been worn by all well-known celebrities,includes - Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Mariah Carey, Mickey Rourke, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg and more. Christian has design brands such as  American Eagle Outfitters, Diesel, Lee, Levi’s, Liberto, Kookai, Von Dutch and Naf Naf. One of the hottest brand created by him today is Ed Hardy brand based on the work of Don Ed Hardy, Smet in unison with Johnny Hallyday, and his own namesake Christian Audigier.

Sometimes it is very difficult for girls to choose what to wear to go shopping. I believe the most important thing to remember is to be in your most comfortable outfit. Don’t worry, I’ve listed several ideas and steps for you to follow!

Fashion For Shopping

• Feel comfortable: Like I said, it is very important to feel comfortable when you are shopping. A nice t-shirt with jeans would be perfect!
• How’s the weather? If the weather is hot, then you know a sleeveless shirt with shorts will do!
• Accessorize: Try adding a few accessories to it. Do not over do it though, you’re only going shopping! It’s not a date, nor a fashion competition!
• Dress appropriately for your age: Wearing 6inches heel and a super mini skirt will not make you look much older than you are now. You should have fun with your own style and stay unique! Remember, you are going shopping…you don’t need to be in mini skirts. By wearing mini-skirts, you will just be pulling down your skirt the whole time.
• NO HEELS:Girls, you are not going to a club. Leave your dancing shoes at home. Something comfortable will do! (I’ll let you wear your flip-flops for a couple of hours)
• Make-up: No, you are not going to a wedding dinner, nor you are going on a fancy date. Limit your make-up. You may be sweating a little while shopping.

Do Wear:

A good example of what to wear on a day for shopping. Below is a photo of Brook in her casual blue terry cloth fabric dress from Victoria Secret, along with her new brown Miu-Miu Hand-bag. She matches her outfit with a pair of comfortable Thai-Style flip-flops. Brook is a fan of Victoria Secret

Because it’s clothes especially for women, so they always seem to fit just right, and for what it is, it’s relatively affordable.

What do you think of Brook’s Shopping Outfit? Would you wear this or not?

Many teenage girls want to look pretty and thin like the top models on TV. In order to look like the super models, they believe that they would be happier and more successful if they were thin like the models in the front cover page of a magazine. Girls start to starve themselves, and avoid high-calorie foods and exercise constantly. And some people eat huge amounts of food, but they throw up soon after eating, which is what we call bulimia. Some may even take laxatives or diuretics (water pills) to keep from gaining weight. By using such cruel and unhealthy methods to loose weight is very harmful to your body.

What You Need To Know About Anorexic Nervosa?

• Anorexia nervosa’ means ‘loss of appetite for nervous reasons

• Anorexia nervosa occurs in 1% to 5% of the population.
• About 90% to 95% are females between ages 13 and 30. However, anorexia nervosa can also occur in males and people of all ages.

Ways to stay slim and healthy

• Exercise Daily: this is the best way to stay thin. Exercise for about 15-30mins a day, doing any exercise that you enjoy most. Walking, jogging, yoga, swimming…etc.
• Always eat breakfast: Experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast will eventually add extra calories to your body as you will end up binge eating more in the middle of the day.
• Switch to brown bread or whole wheat bread instead of white bread
• Start your lunch or dinner with a bowl of low calorie soup. So that you will not overeat later
• Avoid eating in front of television. You tend to eat more without your knowledge
• Reduce the intake of white food stuffs from your diet such as rice, sugar and salt
• Drink plenty of water. Drinking eight glasses of water is said to be healthy
• Instead of two large meals start eating three small meals a day

Today was another shopping day for me, and this time I chose to shop at Siam Square. It is located in Bangkok-a very popular shopping area among teenagers and young adults. Siam Square is a cluster of small inter-connecting streets filled with tiny boutiques selling hip clothes, shoes and all kinds of fashion accessories. You will find any types of clothing, from the trendiest fashion, to the most weird looking fashion.

While shopping at Siam with Brook today, I came across this really odd looking pants. The sign 250, which is about 8 U.S dollars (Cheap, but ugly). I don’t know who would ever wear that, but I couldn’t walk away without taking a photo of it. The photo is a little blurry, but If you look at it closely, you will see the long pants with black on one side and white on the other side. I mean, we all know that black and white matches perfectly, and it’s the freshest way to wear black and white is to pair a solid black top with a white bottom (skirts, shorts or jeans). BUT, when you have black on your right leg, and white and your other leg? It would look like a clown costume! Do you agree with me on this one?

Flip-flops used to be seen only on the beach, or the locker room, but in the last few years they seem to have become the footwear of choice for all people. I love my flippies, and probably own more than 10 pairs of different colors and types of them. It is so comfortable,and easy to walk in them. However, my mom has been complaining alot about me wearing flip flops. She thinks it looks inappropriate in certain places, and told me that wearing flip-flops is a harm to my feet.

I didn’t believe her until I read an article on the recent study that flip flop is truly bad for feet. According to the latest report, flip flops are completely flat with no bounce or give to them and often wobble about as we walk. In the long-term it is harmful to your backs, legs, ankel, feet and for appeareance wise, it may give you bad looking rashes!

We found that when people walk in flip-flops, they alter their gait, which can result in problems and pain from the foot up into the hips and lower back.

The researchers at Auburn University in Alabama has found out in their study from 39 college-age men and women who walked in flip-flops and athletic shoes while the researchers measured vertical force as the walkers feet hit the ground. They recorded stride length and limb angles. They found out that flip-flop wearers took shorter steps and their heels hit the ground with less vertical force than when the same walkers wore athletic shoes. People wearing flip-flops also don’t bring their toes up as much as the leg swings forward.  People tend to grip flip-flops with their toes, which results in a larger angle to the ankle and a shorter stride length.

No, don’t give up your flip-flops yet. If you do wish to continue wearing your floppies, here are the Do’s and Don’t that you should follow:

Do

• Find “high-quality” flip-flops that is made of soft leather (reduces blisters)
• Seek flip-flops that have the American Podiatric Medical Association’s Seal of Acceptance.
• Gently bend the flip-flop from end to end. It should bend naturally at the ball of the foot. Shoes should not fold in half.

Don’t

• Wear flip-flops for long duration.
• Wear the flop-flops you wore last year.
• Ignore the irritation where the flip-flops thongs fits between your toe.
• Wear for a long walk or any sports.

Does that photo remind you have my previous post on leggings? How girls are in LOVE with them, and its worn by everyone? Well, leggings were really popular back in the 80’s and now it’s back and still in trend! All girls are crazy about leggings (even me), especially the capri length leggings. And, now It looks like guys are wearing tight leggings too? Hmm..I’m not too sure about that, it shows off too much of their skinny legs, and just does not look good at all! But, hey guys, would you really wear leggings under your shorts?

I know my friend Clare loves Chocolate. She had chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (No kidding) When she is unwell, chocolate is the only thing that will make her happy. Chocolate is actually good for your body, it has great source of energy and vitamins. As a food, the purer the chocolate, the better it is for you. Chocolate is a fast-acting energy-providing food that helps your body to release serotonin and endorphins - your “feel happy” chemicals! No wonder, Clare is always so happy after she has her treat!

Not only can you treat yourself with chocolates on special occasion. Chocolate is also good for your body.  Okay, picture yourself smothering in a bathtub filled with hot, dark, luxurious, rich  chocolate. Feels like heaven yeah? Yep, it turns out that after 30minutes of treatment in the chocolate tub is very good for you. It will tone up your wrinkles, get rid-off the fat on your stomach, and smother your skin! Chocolate Spa will also allows your entire body to release tension and relieve stress!
