Beautiful Shoes, Beautiful You

Shopping for a beautiful pair of shoes can be fun, but it can be a bewildering experience if you don’t know which types flatter your body. If you know what to look for, however, your shoes can make you look more beautiful. Here are some tips for choosing between popular styles of womens shoes.

Ballet Flats
Women with any body shape can wear ballet flats with trousers. When paired with dresses or skirts, however, short women should opt for short outfits that end above the knee and flats with pointy toes.

Heels
Heels give the illusion of height, but very petite women appear unbalanced in extremely high platform heels and stilettos. Short, heavy legs look longer in high-heeled shoes with low-cut toes.

Mules
Mules visually interrupt the line of the foot, so avoid them if you have short, heavy legs.

Pointy-toed shoes
Extreme points on shoes add a few shoe sizes to the foot’s length. This makes short legs appear longer, but those with large feet should choose rounded toes.

Ankle straps
Flattering to slender ankles, these straps highlight the girth of wide ankles.

Gladiator sandals
Long legs look sexy in gladiators, but the sandals come up too high on short legs, giving an unflattering Roman-warrior look.

Boots
Full-length, high-heeled boots make short legs appear longer and leaner. Short boots make thick ankles look wider but give tall, thin legs a muscular, athletic look.

Embellishments
Bows, buckles, ties and other adornments worn at the toe make a long foot appear shorter.

Colour
Matching your shoe colour to your skin tone or to the colour of your tights gives the illusion of longer legs. When wearing boots, matching the boot to the colour of your skirt or dress gives a long, unbroken line, making short women appear taller and thinner.

Antibacterial Products Give Me Peace of Mind

I do not see the point of cleaning my home if the products I use cannot kill bacteria. That is why I only use antibacterial products. I want to know that almost all of the germs found in my home are killed so that I can rest assured knowing that my home is a clean and hygienic place to spend time in.
A Busy House Which Gets Messy in Minutes
With a houseful of children, a messy husband and a lot of animals in the home too it is vital that I keep on top of the housework. Within half a day the place can turn into a pigsty. Saying that I di not want to have to spend hours on the house when I could be baking or playing with the children so I choose cleaning products that are easy to use.
Antibacterial Spray Cuts Down the Amount of Time I Need to Clean
The antibacterial product I am currently using really helps to keep the place clean and does more than one job. Not only will it kill viruses such as the flu, E-Coli and Salmonella, it will even get rid of the bad smells in my home. When you have two large dogs who love to run in the rain this rally is an added bonus.

Why I Like Evening dresses

I’ve always been a bit of a dedicated follower of fashion, but never – really – got the chance to enjoy the fashion itself.  My works uniform is such that I don’t really get to wear much that I like, but I love going to parties and wearing evening dresses.  There’s something elegant, sumptuous and amazing about evening dresses, and I wish I could wear them every day!
My Favourite Evening dresses Style
There’s something about an evening dress that requires a certain something.  My favourite evening dresses feature corsetry and other things that would make them comfortable and easy to wear, without being made of cheap materials and other items, and I’m also very aware of both the cut and style needs to be just right.  I’ve always found that cheap fabrics or poorly cut or made evening dresses stand out badly – worse than the wrong shade or colour which is why I’m often conscious of making the choices that I need to ensure I pick the best evening dresses for me.
A Cupboard Full
I’ve bought more dresses than I can count – my obsession with dresses started when my mother bought me a dress for Christmas.  After that I was hooked, and ever since, I’ve gotten to choose some of the most gorgeous dresses out there.
