Summer styles always have a base necessity, regardless of the year. In other words, no matter what year it is, a timeless and traditional article of clothing are the Capri or clam digger pants with a camisole top and sandals. These are generally made of lightweight and breathable material. They are longer than shorts and drop to around the mid-calf area of the leg. Many consider them to be very comfortable and versatile. You can buy these garments in a casual or dress style for any occasion.

Camisoles are also a very popular choice this time of year. Many women also wear them as undergarments during the fall and winter. However, in the warmer months, you can wear them by themselves.

Yes, Accessorize!

Yes, Accessorize!

By Tammy Ussery

You have found your dream prom dress, now what? Now it is time to coordinate what is arguably the most important step of your prom ensemble- The accessories! Fabulous prom dress shops that carry everything from the dresses and accessories to undergarment accessories are ideal for one-stop shopping. Accessorizing your perfect dress with hair, makeup, shoes and accessories is the last step, and arguably the most exciting one!

Let the fun begin! One of the most thrilling parts of putting together an ensemble is hair. One basic rule of matching hair to a dress is an up-do for halter and one-shoulder necklines and hair down for strapless and spaghetti strap. Up-do's are generally expected for dresses that include the neck in the design, like halter and one-shoulder necklines, simply because having the hair down can muddle the design and crowd the neck space. The right up-do for you and your dress can vary greatly. You might want a glamorous up-do with all of your hair up, a glamorized ponytail, or half-up half down. If you have a detailed or a revealing, open back, your might want to choose to have a complete up-do to put that on display. Two exceptions for this rule is if you have short hair or if you will wear your hair sleek, straight, and pulled straight down your back. All down hairstyles have been all-the-rage for the past few years. The beautiful famous celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry are all sporting fabulous long-do's. Pretty much any dress is deemed appropriate for wearing your hair styled down. The main deciding factor is personality. Girls with more of a classic, sophisticated, and or polished style and personality might prefer an standard up-do, while girls with more of a fun, trendy, and or free-spirited style and personality might prefer to wear the hair down. An ideal middle ground between an up-do and down style, is the half-up half-down style. There are many variations of the half-up half-down hairstyle, some with more hair up, as well as more hair down.

The element of your prom ensemble that is probably the most heavily reliant upon trends is makeup. Current trends recommend a focus on one key facial feature. Bold eyes are one trend where the eyes are the focal feature while keeping the face and lips neutral and simple. While the smokey eye continues to carry heavy influence in trends, another version of a classic bold eye is to do dark, bold lashes and a simple eye lid. More daring personalities might even prefer a bold color palette on their eyelids as another version of the bold eye. Another trend is to focus on the lip. A bold red lip is all-the-rage as well as classic and widely flattering on everyone. While the red can vary to pinks, or other shades, the rest of the face generally stays understated and neutral. One other focal feature is to have a strong eyebrow. The strong brow can be paired with a neutral lip, preferably with a gloss, and a eyes with bold lashes. It is always fun and exciting to get all-dolled up but it is important to let your natural beauty shine through!

Shoes are about as reliant upon your personality as they are your comfort level. With shoes, it can be easiest to take a cue from the dress. For example, if the dress is sexy, exotic, and has cutouts, it would be fitting to pair it with strappy sandals. If the dress is of a classic cut and color, it would be fitting to get a pump, either a peep-toe, close-toe, or a pump with a heel strap, or any combination of those options. High heels can be super sexy, and super painful. If you are not used to wearing high heels, it might be better to choose a shoe with a lower heel and with a lot of support at the heel and toes. Another step in accessorizing which takes a strong cue from the dress is jewelry. If the dress is heavily embellished then minimal jewelry is recommended. For a strapless sweetheart neckline dress, a drop necklace and simple earring works for an up-do. With no necklace, that same dress might call for long chandelier earrings with the hair either up or down. Bracelets and other assorted jewelry are based on personal preference. With accessories, you generally want to sparkle at every level of your body, take a cue from your dress, but remember: It's all about what you really want!

Accessories to Create a Unique 'Black' Elegance

By Leah Pisay

Who says dressing up in black can be boring, a drab, or even unsophisticated? There are a lot of great things that black clothing can do when you wear them properly. For instance, black can certainly flatter your figure and your look. Some people actually look slimmer in black while others look absolutely elegant in it. Black clothing can also be worn anytime of the day; that's unique in the realms of color. With a nice pair of shoes, some good and colorful accessories and the right attitude, your basic black can quickly become not so basic at all. Let's check out some of the ways to dress up in black.



For work, simple black clothing can easily be made into a more professional look by, for example, opting to wear a colorful shirt in shades such as yellow, green, red, or blues in a basic black suit. For ladies, a tote in fun shapes and sizes can easily achieve functionality and professionalism. Also try on fabulous shoes in metallic tones and wear bold jewelry such as rings, bold bangles or dangly earrings and your sure to spice up your ensemble! For men, try wearing colorful ties and uniquely printed ones for a sure fire hit wardrobe.



During daytime, a button down shirt paired with Capri style pants can be a good choice for women. Wear accessories in odd shapes and sophisticated colors for a more interesting look. A red coat can give added punch to your outfit. At night time, your little black dress can look glamorous with the right kind of pearls and dressy shoes that anyone would die for. Create a more dramatic look by putting on darker lipstick and shades that will bring out the beauty in your eyes.



When going formal, a long black gown can turn heads with the right hair style and jewelry. Keep them as simple as you can. For a more glamorous effect, you can put on a faux fur stole. For men, a black tux has that irresistible appeal especially on women. It gives a certain aura of mystery that most men would like to keep. The shoes play very important roles in dressing up. If in black, go for special ones with character. Women have Manolo Blahnik, Kate Spade or Guess as perfect examples of these. For men, Prada and Gucci are just perfect for their sophisticated look. For those with tight budgets, watch out for sales in designer stores. This way, you can look incredible without going broke.



Finally choose the right kind of jewelry. Try different pieces especially when in black. Pearls or necklaces with semi-precious stones best fit women. Men also have their own necklaces and bracelets, and the cufflinks. Cufflinks, especially engraved cufflinks, add a more elegant and classy look on men in black. Having engraved cufflinks certainly give a statement on the personality of the one wearing them. It's the best choice if one prefers individuality and personalization. These items might be small, but they certainly give a huge impact when dressing up. So, who says black is boring?
