Holiday Glam Picks
Many of us are bracing for the cold this time of the year. It is also that special time where people get revved up for the holidays. Bypass all of the hoopla in “Holiday Madness” and shop for your favorites online. I am still finding some great deals at select stores that promote their offerings through websites. Most stores allow you to pick up the purchases at the store which renders the free shipping costs. You cannot beat this deal because this cuts down on time you spend looking for the product, then standing in line to buy it. I love these fashion selections because they can be worn together or in a combination with other pieces in your closet to spruce up your holiday look! I particularly like the top and bag paired up with jeans and my black calf-length boots. The entire selection is perfect for an evening holiday dinner, along with festive blazer to make your ensemble complete.

7 Steps To Slimming Looks For The Holidays
Thank goodness beauty comes in different shapes and sizes. Not everyone is as thin figure as a runway model. However, it never hurts to play up the assets that we were given to enhance our beauty. Let’s take some tips from Adam Glassman, O Magazine’s Creative Director.
Rule no 1. If you are body-conscious, the best way to wear clothes is to make sure you are wearing the right size. Don’t wear clothes that are too tight or too big, for instance, the fabric always makes you looks bigger.
Rule no 2. Go ahead and test vertical patterns! Avoid horizontal lines but concentrate on wearing the Seams, stripes, piping, or a deep V-neck all stretch you out. Be wary of anything horizontal.
Rule no 3. For a pear- shaped woman, try to balance your figure with details to the upper body that attract the eye. For instance, accentuated sleeves or necklines and a simpler skirt or pant to down play ample hips.
Rule no 4. Another way to minimize the hips is to wear a miniskirt. Minis can be tough, so beware of the hemline bisecting the leg where it is biggest. A mid-length skirt can solve this problem area to slenderize the leg.
Rule no 5. Always try to emphasize the waist! The fact is that it is a woman’s strongest feature. Colors and patterns can be used to bring the eye away from the shoulders or bottom half.
Rule no 6. Never wear flimsy fabrics if you want to look slender. The best fabrics for a body-slender look are gabardine or cotton, —especially in tailored form— really give the body more structure whereas a thinner material will show every bulge.
Rule no 7. Shapewear is a good investment. Suck-you-in lingerie will literally take off pounds and you will be able to breathe with it on.
