Sometimes you can walk into store and without even noticing what stock they offer you’re mesmerized and want to explore because of its sophisticated style, design and layout.
Lairesse Apotheek in Amsterdam is an altogether unique pharmaceutical experience, not only has the owner combined traditional medicine with apothecary remedies but the interior is breath-taking and will have you wandering in for this alone, even if you are in great health. The architects included a flat wall that can be pushed back to create a porch-way with information and leaflets about different products, a tree emerges from the floor of the store, a nod to the owners’ collaboration between nature and science. A spectacular space that will have you open-mouthed with awe.
Another Dutch design but this time in Italy’s capital of fashion; Milan, Viktor and Rolf Viktor & Rolf’s store is as aesthetically pleasing for its shop fitting as it is for its clothes.
In this topsy-turvy spectacular design feast you will find everything that is supposed to be on the floor is on the ceiling and everything that is supposed to be on the ceiling is on the floor. The clothes, fortunately, are hung the right way round but look up and you’ll see a TV, neo-classic flooring and chairs all upside down. It will make you giddy and feeling like you’re walking through a dream and it might take you a minute or two to adjust when you leave and re-enter the ‘real world’.
Comme des Garcons in New York is another store where the shop fitting is so enticing and engaging that you don’t want to leave and instead you want to stay and explore more than the offerings on the rails. Through a white tunnel entrance that is both futuristic and stylish you will enter the Future Systems designed store and explore both the store fitting and the store’s contents.
A store design that is accessible on the High Street but that is still engaging and exciting is Hollister. A new vision for your standard high street store with its dark enclaves, beach-sexy staff and distinct smell you know when you’re in a Hollister store. Known for its shopping experience as well as its fashion it is a concept that has been met with both applause and distress, mostly by the parents of the teens who so covet their preppy wares.
If a store can awe you with fittings and fixtures you will have more respect for its product and service and want to find out more about the brand. Shopfitting Warehouse is an example of the kinds of companies that can make this happen, specialising in everything from mannequins to clothes rails.

Your holiday style-off doesn’t begin when you get off the plane, it begins before you’re even at the airport. ‘What are you wearing to travel in?’ is no longer a question aimed at finding a comfortable outfit (although that is one component) it’s a loaded question. Depending on where you’re going you want to land ready for the climate, the area and the people you’ll be meeting.
City break? Think chic, sleek and comfortable. There’s no denying that getting on an airplane can wreak havoc on your skin and hair, not to mention how uncomfortable Economy class can be. Not everyone can afford to upgrade! If I’m headed to NY or Paris or anywhere along those lines and I’m arriving in Summer I’ll wear a good pair of comfortable, not too tight, skinny jeans, most of which I bought at Uniqlo. Cameron Diaz always gets this look right. On my feet I’ll usually wear a comfortable leather sandal. Not new. New sandals can take time to be ‘broken’ in and you don’t need blisters appearing when you’re on your way somewhere. Then I usually carry a big leather bag as my ‘carry on’, something slouchy that I can shove my cardigan in if it’s too warm.
For years I used to use a battered black suitcase with a pink ribbon tied around the handle so I knew which was mine, but after one too many trips where I arrived to find a ‘shampoo explosion’ had occurred mid-air I decided to upgrade. I’d seen some slick and chic looking cases floating around various airports I’d been to but hadn’t managed to identify the brand. One thing was for certain though; I knew I wanted something durable, an investment piece, in a classic style. I’ve seen those garish colourful patterned things all too often and they are just not my style. Instead I’ve been looking at Samsonite luggage, there range is everything I’d been looking for. Even though the styles are so simple, they look really chic and stylish. I’ve got my eye on a metallic coffee coloured one that I imagine will go with everything.
When I’m heading to sunnier climes I update my city break look by taking away the skinny jeans (is there anything worse in warm weather?) and wearing either a jersey maxi skirt in a neutral colour (comfortable, cool) or denim shorts. The only issue with the denim shorts is that if you’re travelling from a cold country to a warm one, for a little while, you’re going to have chilly legs. One thing I always have with me when travelling is a pashmina, I have one in nearly every colour. I have a pink one that I like to wear with indigo denim and a navy cardigan and a beige colour that I wear with everything else, but I also have black, navy, yellow etc. So versatile! Great to wrap around your shoulders or to snuggle underneath on the plane.
Whether you’re an avid watch connoisseur or use them strictly for their functional purpose, one thing about watches is for sure: watches say a whole lot about us and our personality. From classic designs to cool and modern twists, the type of watch you don on your wrists speaks volumes about who you are. So which one is for you?
We know that choosing the best watch can be difficult, so here are some things to keep in mind when picking from the different varieties.
Research before you buy
There are two reasons why you want to do your research before you commit to a watch:
1) You’ll know exactly what’s out there and which watch or watches will best suit your style
2) You’ll likely be able to find the watch at a better price
Consider the movement
Regardless of your style, you’ll want to consider the movement of the watch. This will both tell you its quality, as well as its price. You’ll be able to find watches in two basic movements:
1) Mechanical
2) Electronic
Electronic watches are great because they’re always accurate (unless the battery runs out) and are less expensive. Mechanical watches involve the use of a small pendulum inside of the watch that must be wound up to keep the time. Most of the finer watches are made with mechanical movements.
Form and fit
We’ve all seen it before – someone wearing a watch that’s just too big and clunky for their wrist. Though it may be “in” to have a cool oversized watch dangling from your arm, what you should really be going for here is comfort.
Pick to impress you – not them
You want to stay true to you when you pick out your watch. Don’t purchase a watch just to impress anyone; it’ll come off as inauthentic and foolish. Really take a good hard look at your day-to-day style and try to determine what type of watch will both match your wardrobe and match your personality.
Fads are fleeting
A compelling reason why one should strongly consider a classic-style watch over a “cool” or modern watch is that fads are totally temporary. Though that Louis Vuitton or Chanel watch may be hot this season, there’s a slim chance that it’s going to be a timeless classic – or even cool – next season. You want to choose a piece that’ll stand the test of time and will be just as “in” this season as it will be five seasons from now.
The good news is that there is a compromise. You can have both classic and cool by going with some of the more notorious watch brands, like Link of London and Arnold & Son. These companies do a fantastic job of blending traditional designs with modern styles and trends, and feature high quality craftsmanship. And don’t forget that you can always change up the appearance of a watch a bit by switching and using different wrist straps.

These days, many people are looking for every way possible to continue to look as great and as young as they feel. Fighting the signs of aging is a difficult task. Used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, Botox can be a great way to look and feel your best. Botox injections are fast becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Botox is a protein called botulinum toxin and it works by blocking the nerve impulses. This relaxes the muscles and therefore is effective in smoothing lines on the face. It is injected into the skin in a short, minimally invasive procedure. It is so simple and straightforward that patients don’t need anesthesia. A fine needle is used to inject it into the muscle.
Botox injections can be beneficial for many reasons. For people who are suffering from problems with their self-esteem, Botox can be a great way for them to improve the way they look, and therefore the way they feel. Feeling great can be difficult if you don’t look your best. Many people can develop depression as a result of negative feelings about how they look. People feeling like that should be able to do everything they can to improve the way they look and thus the way they feel.
Botox injections are usually used for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be used in some non-cosmetic medical procedures. For example, they can be used to alleviate writer’s cramp, help with excessive sweating as well as migraine headaches. It has also been suggested that this procedure can help with depression. It’s been found that using these injections to get rid of the frown lines of depression sufferers have helped to eradicate depression. Many people are achieving incredible results by improving their appearance through these injections.
Skin Vitality Medical Clinic offers a variety of cosmetic and treatment procedures to help people with all kinds of medical and cosmetic problems. They also offer skin tightening procedures, body contouring, skin rejuvenation and Venus Freeze. There is a procedure for everyone at Skin Vitality Medical Clinic. Improving the way you look and feel has never been easier. With so many minimally invasive cosmetic procedures available, anyone can find the right procedure for them. Everyone should be able to look and feel good, and with the cosmetic procedures offered by Skin Vitality Medical Clinic, anyone will be able to look their best, and feel their best.

One of the big considerations when planning your wedding ‘look’ is how you will wear your hair. Many brides struggle to tear away from how they wear it day-to-day – if they’re a up-do kind of woman then they want to stick to this and the same applies for if they always have their down. The style of your dress, and indeed your wedding on the whole, can, however, have an impact on what kind of hair style you should choose.
For example, if you were getting married in the summer, on a beach, in a bohemian-style dress then a loose, wavy down hairstyle would be more appropriate than a strict up-do. Once you’ve decided on your style then you can think about your hair.
Winter weddings can often lend themselves to a classic, glamorous, vintage style. Shoulders can often be covered up, you may wear a fur stole around your shoulders or even a glamorous, baroque jacket around your dress and this look will lend itself to a vintage-style up do. Wearing your hair in an up-do can be a wise move; you will be moving around a lot during the day, inside and out and that would take it’s toll on a wavy, down hair do.
To glam-up your hair style you should take a look at some of the fabulous wedding hair accessories that are out there- I found a great range at Seasons Online. If you’ve gone for a chic bun a decorative clip can look great, this (see picture) wrap-around diamante one is different and interesting. Or you could wear a feathered clip if you’ve gone very vintage with your style – this could be a real show-stopper, check out the feathered one pictured.
Relaxed, bohemian summer weddings lend themselves to relaxed hairstyles. If you go for a beach-wave this can be tousled throughout the day either by yourself or your bridesmaids to keep it looking fresh rather than flat. Beware the dropping curl! If you’re using a hair-tong to get the desired effect, ask your hair stylist to put the wave/curl in a little tighter than what you want as it will drop as the day goes on.
Sweeping a section of your hair back from your face with a pretty clip can take your hair from ordinary to extraordinary for your special day.

So, you’ve said yes, you’ve had the engagement party and you’ve exhausted flashing your ring off to every single one of your nearest and dearest.
But, with all of the excitement of the post-engagement celebrations now done and dusted, it’s time to cast your minds to the even bigger stuff; it’s time to actually startplanningyour dream wedding.
As one of the biggest occasions in your life, it’s likely that you’ve got so many dreams and aspirations for it, from where you’d like to host the big day,to what kind of dress you’d like. But, with all of the other things to think about too – from the invitations and the cake, to the flowers and the table decorations – you just haven’t got a clue where to start. And, what’s more, trying to buy every single item on your wedding wish list is likely to get pretty pricey.
But fear not, because that’s exactly what I’m here to help you with. I’m about to show you some great handmade wedding ideas that will help to set your big day apart from the rest. And what’s more, not only will making your own add that personal touch to your wedding, but they’ll also help to cut costs down too!
Invitations
(Image: thenaturalweddingcompany.co.uk)
One of the most important aspects of planning is wedding is physically inviting all of those family and friends that you want to celebrate it with.
But, rather than just sending out plain and simple invitations to all of your potential wedding guests, you want to send out beautifully designed invitations that will wow them all – after all, it’s important for your wedding invitation to act as a little snippet of what’s to come (and lets face it, a boring invitation isn’t going to enthrall anyone!).
And what could be more beautiful than creating vintage handmade invitations? Vintage invitations will set your wedding off with elegance and sophistication – and what’s more, they’re so easy to create!
All you need to create them is some brown paper or card, some paper doily material (paisley-printed paper works just as well), a vintage typography on your computer and away you go!
A good tip is to play around with different typography styles and design layouts on the computer beforehand so you can find the perfect combination. Once you’ve then printed them all out, use other vintage-esque materials like twine or ribbon available from sites such as Homecrafts, to help add the perfect finishing touches to your perfect invitations.
Wedding favours are easy to forget when you’ve got so many other things to plan, but it’s important that you give your guests a little something to say thank you for sharing your memorable day with you.
But, just as you’re starting to worry that buying favours for every single one of your guests is going to cost you a fortune, I’ve got a much more cost effective and personal way to say thanks.
It’s time to stock up on your favourite flower seeds, grab that trusty brown paper again and get creative with these lovely flower seed favours.
All you need to do is make up some small brown packets, write a romantic note on the front, and fill the packet with a handful of flower seeds.
Once your wedding day is over, your guests can then plant these seeds in their garden at home to create a lasting momento of the start of your new life together.
Table Decorations

Believe it not, the cost of wedding table decorations can quickly rack up – after all, roping in the help of a professional florist to create mind-blowing floral centrepieces doesn’t come cheap.
But, you can create your own spectacular displays at a fraction of the cost, simply with the help of a few glass jars, pebbles and flowers from your own back garden!
A simple but effective tip is to pop some pebbles in the bottom of the jar along with a water flower, and fill the jar up with water. To add a little ambience to your tables, pop a floating water candle on the top, and watch as your tables glisten!

Each time you get invited to a formal event or wedding, you also get handed the expectation that you will wear something new and stylish. These invitations add up to a lot of cost. And, no one wants to be rude or skip an important occasion. What are some ways you can celebrate with your friends and family and still save money on the right clothes?
Shop Second-Hand
Check your city’s resources for second-hand or resale shopping. Second-hand boutiques offer more recent fashions and upscale clothing. Check their stock first. If you develop a relationship with the staff, you can get word of new arrivals first. That’ll get you first look at formalwear available at a deep discount. Goodwill and the Salvation Army also offer second-hand clothing at very low prices. There is a significant difference in what stores carry, depending on the area they’re located in. Visit the resale shops in upscale areas near you. It’s always a good idea to call shops and ask about what they have in stock before making a trip. In choosing a dress, aim for one that will lend itself to other occasions, if possible.
Rent
Renting is another good option. You may have brick-and-mortar shops in your area that offer rentals. Or, you can find options online. Internet retailers like RentTheRunway rent dresses online in a variety of sizes, styles and level of formality. You’ll find the perfect dress for any occasion. You’ll save money and you won’t own a dress you may not wear again. Renting also puts the most modern styles within reach.
Retail at the Right Time
One option that will get you a new formal dress is to visit dress shops when they change out their stock. Getting new collections allows shops to put dresses on clearance. Catching these sales means that you’ll have new dresses at great prices to choose from. This is a good choice if renting isn’t an option or if having a new gown is important. This also works for a wedding party, when you have to coordinate with others’ attire. Retailers don’t openly publicize these but, if you keep your eyes out for seasonal collections by designers, you have a head start on others. Look for accessories that match your dress during these sales, too.
Negotiate
Salespeople have some room to bargain on stock. Take a chance and ask for a discount. Talk to the manager and discuss payment options. Many stores offer lay-a-way plans. If the store can’t offer a discount on the dress, discuss ways that you can make small payments. Finally, buying in a group often creates an opportunity for a markdown. The store will get multiple sales and you can benefit from lower prices.
Finding the right formalwear is a big part of attending events. Find the attire that makes you look and feel great. Having a limited budget or simply wanting to avoid spending an arm and a leg for a gown does not mean you can’t find the perfect look. You’ll find a great selection of accessories this way, too.

Animal print is back with a vengeance for 2013. I’ll start with some options for all you sophisticated ladies:
Trend-setter Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer range included amazing snakeskin accessories and even an amazing head to toe leopard look – it shouldn’t work but it does – while Burberry led the wayfor AW13 with a lust worthy collection featuring to die for leopard print pencil skirts and trench coats. And prints weren’t just limited to the classic leopard and snake this season, we saw zebras at Lanvin, giraffes at Burberry and GILES by Giles Deacon even featured horses.
Stella McCartney’s SS13 Garden Party
If you’re not ready to invest your hard earned cash on a high end animal print piece then don’t fear, the high street are on board too. My top picks are Zara’s monochrome animal print shirt and matching trousers – I’m a huge fan of any multi trend item and black and white are HUGE this summer.Wear them together if you’re feeling brave.
Zara Printed Shirt and Trousers, both £29.99
Jaeger have also got some lovely safari inspired pieces in at the moment and while they are a little pricier they’re always great quality – shop them here.
If you’re stuck for ideas on how to work the trend or you feel a bit Pat Butcher in your new zebra print pointed pumps – you know you want some – then check out Topshop’stumblr, it’s full of quirky animalistic street styleat the moment and is a great place for fash-spiration.
Now for the guys – yes, really!
Men can totally work the animal look too. Burberry included a surprisingly manly leopard print trench coat in their Men’s AW13 collection and paired with crisp black trousers and printed brogues and I think it really worked.
Burberry AW13
London labels YMC and Sibling both have some earthy coloured leopard sweatshirts inwhich would look great worn with LOADS of confidence under a bomber jacket or blazer.
10.Deep’s ‘Into the Wild’ collection
If your vibe’s more Brooklyn bar than Paris fashion week then there are countless streetwear brands contributing to this trend. Read this recent post on urban clothing for some top style tips or check out streetwear site,Capology who stock all the big names including cornerstone label 10 Deep, who’s SS13 collection ‘Into the Wild’ is the ultimate capsule collection for nailing the wildlife look whilst keeping it real (sorry).

Having a flutter on horse racing, football or some other type of bet is something which many of us enjoy doing. There is absolutely no harm in doing this as long as you do it in a controlled manner and know what you are doing at all times. The following steps will help you do this.
Work Out the Figures
In order to fully enjoy placing wagers you will want to be clear on how much you can afford to risk. For most of us the simplest way of doing this is by putting together a little spreadsheet and adding our monthly income and outgoings to it. This should allow us to work out how much we can sensibly afford to dedicate to this pursuit. If you want to take it a step further and give yourself an extra level of protection against overspending then you could consider putting the amount you have settled onto is a separate account which you only ever use for this hobby. This is a clever way of setting yourself a limit and also of making sure that you stick to it.
Set Your Priorities
There are so many different types of wager around these days that you might start off by wondering which one you are going to give a try. You might like to vary between different sports and events but even so, it pays to think ahead. A quick look at what is coming up in the month ahead can help you work out where your betting priorities lie. For example, if you are a big football fan and one of the biggest games of the season is coming up then you won’t want to miss out on placing a bet on it because you have spent all of your allocated cash for that month already. In this case you might be tempted to spend more than you had originally planned to do once you realise that there is an event you want to enjoy in this way. By planning ahead to some degree you can therefore ensure that you spend on what most interests you.
Do It Online
If you really want to control your wagering then the emergence of high quality internet betting sites could be the breakthrough you have been waiting for. Many people now choose to go online to bet on any sport you want and there are plenty of very good reasons for doing this. However, the one we are interested in here is the fact that by going on the internet you can have a greater control over your wagers. Because you can sit down in front of your home PC to do this there is none of the hassle or pressure you might feel when it comes to placing a bet in a crowded bookmaker’s office. You will have all of your facts and figures to hand and can proceed in the way which suits your personality and budget.

No one wants to age, but years can creep up and take their toll on your face. Small wrinkles around the mouth, forehead and other areas can make you look years older. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on expensive surgeries that take weeks of healing time. There are several benefits to Botox injections that will help you look years younger without the problems of other invasive methods.
