100 Top Baby Names I found it very interesting researching the top 100 baby names for this article, because although my husband and I thought we were going for unique baby names during my pregancy, both our daughters' names are on the list! I guess we are not as innovative ... It Won't Grow Back Tomorrow I remember clearly the day that I had my ultrasound, and the technician informed my husband and I that we had a baby girl on her way to join us in this world. That very day, my husband made clear that our daughter would not get a haircut until she was at ... Synthetic or Human Hair Wig - Which is Best There are two types of wig material - synthetic fiber and real human hair. Most people naturally assume that a human hair wig is necessarily better than a synthetic one, when in fact it is not that simple. The correct choice depends on what you expect ...
10 Classic Fashions No Woman Can Do Without
A fashion savvy Australian Aborigine once said, "The more you know, the less you need." Translation: It's better to know your way around the classics than have a closet crammed with clothing that is already so "five minutes ago". It's smart to stock up on classics, no matter your personal style. Think Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Catherine Deneuve: always, simple, chic and impeccably dressed. Once you have the classics, you can go anywhere. If you buy pieces that are well-made and in good fabrics, they'll wear better, feel better and, of course, look better on you. The fabrics to look for are lightweight wool gabardine, silk, cotton, linen, cashmere, and textured microfibers. Go that extra mile and make sure everything fits, especially the tailored pieces. Go to a tailor if something needs to be altered. It's worth the money. Now for those of you who are not the "classic" type, you can still do your own thing. Try a Chanel jacket with jeans or a leather bomber with a chiffon skirt. If you're downtown hip with a touch of "goth", just add a leather jacket to the classics along with leather pants and animal print accessories. If you're the artistic, creative type, throw on some ethnic or artful pieces to give the classics your own special style. Think Peruvian hand-knit sweaters, chunky bracelets or African necklaces. Classics are also good if you're on a budget. They last longer and you'll have fewer mad dashes to the mall to buy a piece just for one evening. If you don't believe us, try on a little black dress or a solid color suit. Add a scarf, several necklaces or different belts. See how many different looks you have? What are the true, blue chip
classics? Take notes. The wardrobe you save may be your own. THE CLASSICS 1.) 3 Piece Suit -- Try a jacket, skirt and pants in a solid color. 2.) Navy Blazer -- A must have that makes an impression. 3.) White Shirt -- Nothing beats a crisp cotton shirt with or without French Cuffs. 4.) Khaki Slacks -- Versatility is their strong suit and they can withstand a nuclear winter. 5.) Cashmere Sweater or Twin Set -- Sedate or seductive. Your choice. 6.) Jeans -- Keep them "classic". Dry-clean or press them yourself after washing. 7.) Little Black Dress -- All hail to this number that can go from smokey bar to a ballroom. 8.) Formal Attire -- Dramatic separates are better to mix'n'match and make different outfits. 9.) Raincoat -- Go for a zip-out lining. The Trench Coat is the true classic. 10.) A Positive Self Image -- Nothing looks better on a woman than her confidence and pride. Classics rock.
