How Real Women Can Dress Sexy For Clubbing – 7 Tips

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Not all women have a slim figure (like the self-confessed vain-glorious me) but everybody has the right to party! You may not have the stick-thin model look, but sexiness is all about attitude. Here are few tips to real women who want to look fabulous when they hit the club!
1. Go with the right stiletto
Choose the right trendy heels you’d be comfortable wearing all throughout the night. Never try too hard wearing 4-inch heels. Some women choose very annoyingly high heels and they complain about suffering from sore feet. How can you dance the night away if your shoes won’t permit you? But flats are not appropriate for clubbing, so go for something in between.
2. Don’t compromise comfort for style
You may be doning the hottest piece of dress, but if you look awkwardly uncomfortable in them, you’d end up being “Miss Pathetic of the Night”. If you borrowed it from a friend, make sure it fits you.
Moreover, secure your undies in place. At parties, it’s really disgusting to see girls who keeps on fixing their bra straps while dancing. Choose a strapless bra instead but if you’re afraid that they will fall off, wear a clear bra strap. Do not ever consider wearing nipple covers or nippits when you don’t have perky breasts.
3. Sexy not Slutty!
Sexy does not imply that you have to bare it all and not leave something to the imagination. When wearing a top which shows your most coveted cleavage, don’t pair it with something which almost displays your undies. Going out in a piece of clothing which is see-through all over is not highly recommended. Also, if you are not a Playboy cover girl, avoid the whore-style ultra-fitted black leather pants.
4. Highlight your best feature (and cover in disguise what you don’t like)
Yes, if you have it, flaunt it. If you have nice pair of legs, wear something that will draw attention to them. Note: Highlight only one feature at a time. If you emphasize everything, the looker will be so confused.
For heavy girls, wear something darker to create an illusion of a smaller body. Don’t wear something tight, it will emphasize your curves at the wrong places. Know your body type and dress according to it.
5. Keep yourself updated with the trends
I don’t advise that we worship the trends and make those beauty magazines your bible, but at least be up-to-date. Do not wear a dress which will make you look like you just stepped out from another era. (Tip: Stop borrowing you Mom’s clothes, unless she’s a fashion guru).
6. Play with accessories
Accessorize but do not be too happy wearing your accessories all at once. Bring attention to one key accessory and be more subtle on the others. If you choose to focus on the must-have necklace. Stay simple on the bracelets, scarf etc. Try to stay sophisticated and classy. Your hand bag and shoes does not have to be of the same color.
7. Don’t be afraid to experiment and show your own style
It’s better to be a trendsetter than just copying other people’s style. Be unique. When you are at a club, expect that 101% of the girls there exerted an effort to pull the look they have tonight. Don’t let yourself be one of the unknown faces in the crowd. Add spice to the common style and stand out.
When you go out with your girls, you do not have to be a copycat of each other. Your get-up does not have to be coordinated with your friends’ style. Don’t go out like you are some kind of a Pussy Cat dolls or Spice girls about to perform.

If You Have Foot Problems You Should Consider Orthopedic Shoes

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Orthopedic shoes are not just for older people any more. Many people have problems with their feet hurting. Wearing the wrong type or size of shoe can cause a lot of discomfort in your feet, ankles and legs. Orthopedic shoes may relieve some of those sore feet.

Women tend to have many different types of shoes and some may even be different sizes. Women also wear a lot of high heeled shoes, which are not good for your body at all. The high heeled shoe often squeezes the toes tight together and brings the arch of your foot up too high.

Men tend to stick with only one or two pairs of shoes. Running or everyday shoes are great for the feet but dress shoes for men are often stiff and can squeeze the toes similar to women’s high heeled shoes. Wearing the same shoes all the time can make you feet hurt because you won’t change the muscles used in your feet if you don’t change the types of shoes often enough.

Orthopedic shoes have different options available to them to help develop the correct muscles in your feet and legs. This will relieve pain in your feet, ankles, legs, and back.

One thing that orthopedic shoes offer that traditional shoes don’t is arch support. Having support under your arch in your shoe will absorb shock better and help to keep the foot in the proper position.

Another thing that orthopedic shoes can offer that you won’t find in many shoes is extra width. Finding out what width your feet are and fitting the shoes to fit will give you a lot more comfort and support. Many stores are beginning to offer more shoes in wider widths but the sizes and styles are still very limited at this point.

If you have tried both of these options for shoes and are still having pain or discomfort in your feet, ankles, legs or back it may be time to seek help. You can visit a variety of different doctors who specialize in the feet. Orthopedic, Podiatrists, and Bone and Joint doctors are some of the kinds of doctors you may want to make an appointment with.

They can help you find out what kind of orthopedic shoes will best fit your individual needs.
Orthopedic shoes are beginning to be sold in more stores nationwide. Shoes are an important part of your health and should be chosen carefully.

Regardless of your age a pair of orthopedic shoes may help you to feel better and become more active again. If you are unable to find a pair to suit your needs it is important to visit a specialist who can access your situation and offer help.

Shoe Aids & Accessories

How many times have you purchased a pair of shoes only to find that it doesn’t actually fit as well as it did in the store, or maybe your feet aches after about an hour of wear, by then it’s a little too late to be taking them back for an exchange or a refund. Which is why these shoe aids are going to become your new best friends. To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, thinking that it was more of a gimmick and doesn’t actually work. Well, I admit that certain types of products does work as I have tried it myself. In this blog entry I aim to introduce various types of shoe aids that may assist you in having a more comfortable footwear but at the same time not sacrificing fashion. Some products may work and some may not due to different brands and manufacturing etc, however I do suggest that you give different types and brands a try. So after reading this archive you can now unpack those gorgeous unworn shoes that you have had hidden away and finally wear them without aches and pain, but instead with comfort and style. 1. Gel CushionsAlso know as ‘Party Feet’, it adds cushioning and comfort to your shoes. Also the perfect solution for high heels, it adds grip and prevents your feet from sliding forward with added cushioning to the ball of your feet. The perfect answer for those who can’t live without glamorous footwear.2. Heel CushionsGreat for those who suffers from sore, aching heels. It works the same as ‘Gel Cushion’ but it is placed on the insole of the heels of the shoes.3. Heel GripsPrevents your shoes from sliding off the back of your heels. It provides additional grip to the heels of the shoes and prevent blisters caused by rubbing. Also comes in suede leather. However, it is slightly thinner but I find that it sticks better than gel types. Especially if your feet tends to become sweaty through out the day or night.4. Toe Post StripsPrevents blisters and cushions between the toes when wearing sandals or thongs with toe post.5. Sore SpotsSore spots are aimed to be placed on certain parts of the shoes where it may be rubbing, causing irritation or blasters on your skin. 6. Slingback StripsThin strips of gel cushions ideal for footwear with slingback straps that may be rubbing, causing irritation or blisters on the skin at the back of your heels.

Have You Ever Bought And/or Walked A Pair Of High Heels That Were Too High Or Painful For You?

Friday, August 28th, 2009

gf recently bought some 5(!) inch heels, after she wore them for half a day she had sore feet, especially the balls of her feet. Most likely because of the pressure that’s on that spot there, which is much higher then wearing 2-3inch I suppose. So do you have a moment in history when the high heel shoes were too high or too torturous?
