Adding Polish to Your Bedroom with Luxury Bedding

The bedroom should be a place of comfort and relaxation. After a long day, it’s soothing to have a space where you can retreat and rest. Making sure your bed has all the right pieces can really give your room a sense of lavishness and polish. Luxury bedding is both aesthetically pleasing, and helps you get the rest you need.

First, it’s important to have ultra comfortable sheets and pillow cases. Since this is the fabric that will most often come in contact with your skin, the material should be soft and breathable. Cotton has both of these qualities, and can be bought in different thread counts. The higher the thread count, the more comfort you can expect. Egyptian, Supima, and Pima are higher quality cottons worth checking out.

Once you’ve got your bed sheets and pillow cases, the next step is to consider quilts, duvet covers, or comforters. Each of these can be found in various fabrics and designs. Your choice will depend heavily on the already established style of your bedroom. Colors and patterns should add to the feel you’d like to achieve once every piece is in its place. Another factor to consider is functionality.

Some fabrics need to be professionally cleaned, or are fragile and have shorter life spans. Finding a quality material that’s durable and easily laundered will help you avoid stress down the road. In addition, duvet covers are known for their convenience due to the fact that they can be easily removed and treated for any damage or spills.

The final touches to add are bed skirts and decorative pillows. A bed skirt can help hide any objects you’re storing underneath the bed, or simply conceal the bottom of the frame. Decorative pillows give you a chance to add more color or elements of intrigue. A small pillow in a bright color or with intricate embellishments can greatly enhance an otherwise average bed. If you’re looking to cut down on shopping time, comforter sets are an expedient option. They contain other matching parts of the bedding, like pillow shams, and create a nicely composed look.

Another extra addition to consider is a bed scarf. These are long rectangular pieces of fabric that are placed at the foot of the bed. They are easily interchangeable and offer a simple way to alternate looks with the seasons.

5 Tips for Finding the Right Bra Size

February 23, 2015 / admin / Comments Off

Finding the perfect bra that fits well but is not too tight does not necessarily have to be stressful. From the A cup to the F, these tips below might help you in finding the perfect piece.

More than one everyday piece

A bra should be changed everyday and rotated as much as possible to ensure that it last longer. For that, you would need to choose at least 3 or 4 everyday wear bra. Wearing a bra for consecutive days can also stretch it out.

Your bra size WILL change

With age and weight fluctuations, your bra size will change. The cup size will also change as you grow. You might want to continually measure yourself up to check whether your bra size is still the same before buying a new set.

Wear your bra on the loosest clasp

When your bra is still new, wear it on the loosest clasp. With time, as the bra stretches, you would then be able to tighten it so that it continues to fit well.

Test it with an arm lift

This is a great test to determine whether your bra size is correct for you. If your bra has moved when you tried the test, it means that your cup might be small or your band might be bigger.

The center of your bra should fit against your sternum.

The center of your bra should sit against your sternum and your entire bra should not move when you press it. If it moves, it means that you need to get a bigger cup size.

Summary: Learn how to buy bedding for young men in high school or college.

Teen bedding is one of the hardest gifts to buy. Teens want to spend time in their bedrooms, but seem to be indifferent about the state of those rooms. This is a headache for parents, and they are often forced to take the lead on designing the bedrooms for boys and young men. Still, the process doesn’t have to be so challenging. If you follow these simple tips, you’ll help your growing men develop a sense of style and take pride in the state of their living spaces.

Color Coordination

Men tend to like neutral colors. Blacks, grays and earth tones are all winners for the most part. Although exceptions do exist, bedding collections with a simple color palette will make you run into fewer obstacles. As cute as themed gifts are, adolescent males probably want to keep things simple. If you do opt for a themed gift, keep it understated, like buying a pillow case with the logo of their favorite sports team.

Cleaning Instructions

Young men probably won’t dry clean, even if the instructions clearly tell them to do so. Especially in college, where most people are still getting the hang of budgeting. As a result, some of the more delicate luxury bedding sets might be wasted on a high school male. Try to keep the maintenance as simple as possible, and make sure they can toss it into the washing machine and move along with their day.

Do you own vintage jewellery? While vintage jewellery is meant to be worn and enjoyed, there are a few do’s and don’ts to wearing high-quality pieces from your grandmother’s jewelry box. Here are a few things you should and shouldn’t do while wearing vintage jewellery.

Do wear it on a special occasion. Are you going to a formal event? There’s no better place to flaunt your vintage jewellery than on a special occasion or during a formal event, such as a museum gala, a wedding, or a formal engagement dinner. Vintage jewellery is usually fancy in nature, which means it will be the perfect addition to your outfit.

Don’t wear it while cleaning. While it might seem obvious, many people wear their vintage jewellery on a daily basis and forget to take it off while doing regular chores such as cleaning and washing dishes. To avoid destroying antique rings, store them properly in between formal events and special occasions.

Don’t wear it while travelling. Once again, it might seem like common sense, but many people wear their precious vintage pieces while travelling via plane, train, and even boat. However, losing your vintage ring on a plane or in a city abroad isn’t fun. To avoid losing your precious gems, keep them at home when you go on vacation.

How to accessorize a black dress

November 24, 2014 / admin / Comments Off

A black dress is a wardrobe staple. Every one of us at some point has a black dress in our closet that we wear for interviews, funerals or on dates. Black is a color with which you just cannot go wrong. But sometimes, you might feel that too much black can be quite overwhelming. To overcome this, you might want to accessorize your black dress to bring a new dimension to your look.

Belts

If you have an hour-glass figure or just want to emphasize on your waist, you might want to complement your black skater dress with a belt at the waist. The belt could be in a contrasting color such as a deep red, turquoise or even yellow.

Shoes

For shoes you might opt for ankle boots or high stilettos. The boots could be in a dark grey color if you want to stay in the dark palette and if you prefer heels, you might choose colors such as red, orange, yellow or white, depending on the look that you are going for. Black heels also work wonders if you are going for the classic all-black look.

Jewelry

If you are going for a red-black combination for example, you might want to choose jewelries of the same color, which is red in this case. Another jewelry combination that works well with black if you are going for an all-black look is silver. You could pair your black dress with a silver necklace or silver and black earrings.

How to dress for your first date

October 24, 2014 / admin / Comments Off

The easiest way to stand out on your first date is to make yourself more attractive. To do that, you have to make sure you get the clothing side right. Forget brands and trend, think about how they fit. You want to look confident, so be sure to go for clothes that fit you perfectly. A lot of people do not take these advices seriously, but think about it. Do you really want to send the wrong message on the first date itself?

One thing you can’t easily change, unfortunately, is your body shape. So be sure to take that into consideration when choosing your outfit. Think of it as branding yourself. Each outfit will attract different types of persons.

Of course, stay away from your cheesy tops. Some guys might like a chick with attitude, but what if your date is not of that kind. You don’t want to spend an awkward one, right? So go for something more subtle.

Also, bear in mind that most guys will appreciate your outfit as long as it shows you’ve put some time into choosing it. Sometimes it’s just a case of matching the right colors.

Lastly, be sure to get the right shoes. Don’t spend too much time trying to match your date’s height. Go with something comfortable. If you’re comfortable wearing heels, by all means, go for them. However, make sure that you’re not going bowling and also, you might want to keep those attractive high red heels for a later date…
