Beyonce rockin the ever-popular ankle boot paired with a ruched pinstripe dress and red waist-cinching belt. Bold Beauty: Aplegate, Bloke, Cosetta, all $129.95 at Steve Madden. Less than your average boot, ankle boots have been worn by some of Hollywood's trendiest celebs, but will they work for you? It's been said that they only look good on those with supermodel proportions. I beg to differ! Below are suggestions for how each body type can rock this trend.Tall & Slender - Your ankle boots look best paired with skinny jeans. Petite - Wear your ankle boots with bubble skirts or cuffed shorts and fitted tops for the best look. Tall & Curvy - Your ankle boots look best when layered with long tunics and footless tights. Curvy all over - Wear your ankle boots with a funky, a-line dress and opaque tights for the most flattering results. Source: About.com ...

Shopping around for the perfect pair of jeans has been an ongoing process that I'm quite sick of. Sorry if I sound a little bitter, but finding a pair of jeans that fit correctly is really hard when you're only 5'0". It seems like if they fit my waist, then they are too long on the bottom. If not that, then they are entirely too big altogether. Oh, the agony! Can you relate to my denim woes? A new jean company may have the solution, enter UJeans.Above: Varied denim styles offered at UJeansUJeans is a Toronto-based company that offers custom-made jeans, created with a 11-point fit system that you measure yourself. The jeans are designed by the customer and since they are made-to-measure, you're guaranteed a perfect fit.

Who said curvy girls can't wear bold prints? Well, that's a thing of the past, because some fashion "rules" were made to be broken. Above: Jill Scott poses during her "Real Thing" Cocktail Reception at the Roof Top Garden on June 14, 2007.It has been said that prints draw negative attention to your curves. But, you'll find that when you select a printed dress with a dark background, an empire waist, and a fitted shape, the look is absolutely flattering and slimming.

Carasan
2007-10-09 13:07:00
If a sheer work of art is what comes to mind when viewing any of the designs of Carasan, then you have called to mind a comparison that is not far from the truth, as the designers are inspired by art and nature in all that they create for their line. Their line is for free-spirited and self-assured women who are youthful at any age and want to wear high quality, one-of-a-kind designs. Their inspiration dates back to 1920's designers Erte and Fortuny. The Carasan woman is the soul of a Victorian socialite born into the body of an urban artist. She is a woman of today who wants fun, exciting clothing that will last season after season.The prices are very expensive, but it's fun to be in-the-know about new collections. Be inspired! Click here to view the collection.Source: Carasan ...
