Winter need not be a time for bulky clothes. You do not need to have hundreds of layers to be able to stay warm. Here are some winter accessories that can help you stay warm and still be in fashion.

Tights and leggings – Tights and leggings do not come in only black, grey and navy. Include various colours and styles in your choice of tights and leggings.

Boots – knee high and ankle boots. Boots are a staple wardrobe accessory when it comes to winter so go for comfort and wearability before killer heel styles. Knee high or over the knee boots can be a very sexy accessory when worn with slim fitted jeans, trousers or leggings.

Scarves – Wrap a scarf around your neck or use as a head scarf and all of a sudden you are looking like you just stepped out of a Vogue magazine. Go for chunky knot stitch scarf, ladies cashmere and wool scarves. Handcrafted scarves can always give you that stylistic edge especially if they are unique and unusual in design. When not around your head or neck simply tie it onto the straps of your handbag.

And lastly, but the most important of all, thermal clothing. Thermal underwear is a light weight layer that will not add bulkiness to your winter look. Damart thermal clothing employs the Themolactlyl revolution too. Thermolactyl works by trapping air in millions of tiny pockets within the garment. Perspiration is forced to the outer surface of the garment where it evaporates, keeping you dry as well as warm.

Whether you are trying to reduce fat belly, losing weight, trying to gain weight, into the stages of pregnancy, you would need transition clothes to be able to get you through the “in-between” stages.

What I learned is that accessorizing would be the key!

The Style Doctor advised:

What I suggest is to get a few interchangeable pieces like trouser cut jeans (more forgiving on the body), some comfy shirts and sweaters that don’t cling to the tummy, and really stand out accessories like very cute shoes, jewelry, and bags. A really flattering wrap coat in a bold color will help to pull everything together.

I love handbags. I collect them, and every season I watch the trends to see what is new and hot. Each year, trendy bags come in all sorts of colors, sizes and styles. There is usually something that will work for every woman. But lately I’ve noticed something – a lot of young women who used to follow handbag trends almost as closely as me are having babies. And when the baby comes along, they are ditching their amazing bags for ugly, yet functional mom purses.

But there is hope! I’ve done some research and I’ve figured out what new moms need in a purse, and how they can have it and still be fashionable.

I know the most important feature a new mom needs is space in her handbag. I have great news – every season’s crop of in-style bags includes some very roomy styles. You can even carry a day bag that’s nearly as large as a luggage carry-on. In fact, it’s very trendy to carry a big bag.

Moms also need their bags to work hard by offering a lot of organizational features. Unfortunately, this is the trap most moms fall into. In their quest for lots of pockets and dividers they often end up with something boxy and business-like. The good news is that many of today’s hot handbags include plenty of outside and inside pockets with lots of room for all the things a baby or small child needs.

If you are a working mom, you can select a very beautiful handbag that fulfills all your needs. Slightly more structured bags are making a comeback, so you can choose something that not only has room for everything you need as a mom, but also has room for files and other things you might need to carry to and from work.

Take heart, new moms! You can have it all.

The exciting world of online shopping is quickly becoming appealing not just to the shopaholics out there but also to everyone who has regular basic shopping needs. Gone are the days when only shopaholics see the beauty of online shopping because many people now see the convenience that it brings. As proof of this, many people now shop for numerous household items online. Pride Products is just one of the many websites enjoying many customers who regularly go to them to buy dollar store products. It is understandable with the amount of money they save from transportation costs and from the many sales that this store often have. For the month of July, Pride Products has many wholesale dollar items on sale. Some of the products on sale are household items, summer products, and back to school items. Aside from their monthly sales, many of their dollar store wholesale items can also be bought at low prices during the many specials that they often hold. So the next time you are thinking of doing your household shopping, going online might not be a bad idea. It will provide you with more time for other things and will let you save more as well.

I have been drooling over having a custom-made necklace by Lisa Leonard for the longest time already. I particularly like the second picture and want to have all my family’s names on it – we are only four – with a nice charm as the center engraved with our family name.

I should asked for this during Mother’s Day!

Special collection, chic, stylish, steampunk and noir! I worked very hard to create this one, delicate, very feminine and so long… It’s like a bird flying around your body! Perfect for a very special event!
