Victoria Beckham's Latest Hairstyle, The Pob

Undercutting has been around since the 80's in one form or another, the "Pob", Posh's Bob, is a combination of an undercut and a Bob, Take your sections as you would to complete a Graduated Bob and layer this as you would a uniform layer hair cut, making sure you leave the outline soft and "feathery".

Comb the back of the hair down and trim or take a little weight out of the ends so they are not too blunt. This leaves the hair the back of the haircut disconnected, but if layered through enough softens into the undercut. The main shape of the back should look like a Graduated Bob with a soft outline through the back of the head to behind the ears. Use layers from the crown to the longer outline of the haircut in front of the ears, making sure you do not cut too much weight out of the outline, so this leave you the long length in front of the ears.

Layer from the front of the parting towards the crown, this will become a guide to work from the parting in vertical sections towards the outline of the cut in front of the ears, and take excess bulk from the layers to leave a long soft outline, texture if needed. Shape the fringe section to suit your client and you should have a new look for your collection.

Fantasy Uniforms - Make a Sexy Career Change!

Nurse lingerie is the most popular of all fantasy lingerie. Nurse uniforms say "I'm naughty but nice and here to cater to your needs!" A nurse costume is a super-sexy version of the classic nurse's uniform. The tops are low-cut and the skirts are short and snug.

You can buy a nurse costume that's either a mini-dress or a two-piece with a separate top and skirt. For private, special occasions, select a bra and panty set. Lots of nurse lingerie is satin, but vinyl and leather are also becoming popular choices.

The best nurse lingerie pays attention to details. No nurse costume is complete without a stethoscope. You'll hear your special someone's heart beat racing! There's no need to rush out to the local medical supply store. Almost all nurse costumes include a stethoscope. Some even include an over-sized needle. Perhaps for a shot of love? You'll also want that famous little nurse's cap.

With nurse uniforms, white is the classic color that comes to mind. But you can break with tradition and wear a red, black, or pink nurse costume. In fact, some nurse costumes even come in the unmistakable "scrub green" color. Don't worry, though. No loose-fitting cotton tops and pants here. Only leather mini-skirts and tight button-up tops.

If you select a nurse costume that's sexy but more PG-13 rated, you can even wear it to a Halloween party. A lot of women enjoy showing off their fabulous figure in a costume that's provocative, but still appropriate for most costume parties.

Another of the most popular fantasy costumes is the french maid. French maids wear lots of ruffles. Wear a ruffled white petticoat underneath for a look that's extra flirty. You can even buy little white ruffled panties to wear underneath! A little bit of modesty can be very tantalizing. And a white apron is another must-have.

Of course, a feather duster is an absolute essential. Most french maid costumes come readily equipped with one. A little cap is another nice touch. To top it off, how about trying your hand at a French accent? "Oui" and "monsieur" are all you need to know!

Since your french maid costume is black and white, white thigh-highs and black patent leather heels are a fabulous footwear choice.

Depending on how daring you want to go, you can buy a one-piece, two-piece, or bra and panty set. French maid costumes come in many styles. You can pick the one you like best: cap sleeves, lace-up corsets, spaghetti straps, or off-the-shoulder.

Fantasy uniforms are just that: occupation-related uniforms that bring fantasies to life. With fantasy uniforms, Halloween can be a year-round event. No spooky ghosts and witches, only flirtatious french maids and nicely naughty nurses for these costumes!

A bit of role-playing can be quite fun. Ask your special someone what his favorite fantasy uniform is. Fantasy lingerie is a wide departure from your typical teddies and nighties. Why not mix it up - buy both a french maid and a nurse costume? Different occasions call for different occupations, after all.

Corsetry - Classic Lingerie

Corsetry is both the fine art of constructing corsets and the corsets themselves. Corsetry is both functional and sexy. A piece of womens underwear originating in the 16 century, the corset has become full-fledged sexy lingerie for the modern woman.

There's just something about corsets that make you look and feel ultra-feminine. Corsetry is womens sexy underwear at its finest. The shape, the fabric, the colors - they all combine for a piece of lingerie that will never go out of style. It's even said that corsets date back to 1700 BC! Women have loved this style of sexy underwear for centuries.

Some womens underwear is meant to shape your body. That's what corsets are famous for. They're incredibly slimming. If you're after the ideal hourglass silhouette, corsets are where it's at. They boost the bosom, flatten the tummy, and cinch the waist. It's a quick fix for fitting into a snug dress when you don't have time (or the inclination!) to diet.

If you're just plain in the market for sexy womens underwear, remember that not all corsets are for trimming. Some are created as sexy underwear, not as figure enhancers. They mimic the shape and construction of traditional corsets, but are more comfortable and are designed for maximum sex appeal.

Corsets come in two main styles: under bust and over bust. The under bust, as you probably guessed, starts under your breasts and usually extends down to the waist. For sexy womens underwear that's way more revealing, as well as extra-naughty, an under bust corset is a good choice.

The over bust, on the other hand, actually covers the breasts. Well, partially covers the breasts. Typically, they boost you up for ample, va va va voom cleavage! Also, the over bust is a better choice if you want sexy underwear that can be worn under your clothes. It's just about impossible to pair an under bust with a regular bra for the coverage and support you'll need.

Some might say, and accurately so, that there's actually some middle ground: the demi-cup corset. This piece of sexy underwear covers the lower half of your breasts. It creates beautiful cleavage, but it's also the right mix of tantalizing coverage and exposure.

When you're out to find sexy womens underwear, you might have a particular fabric in mind. Corsets come in a variety of fabrics, including satin and leather. If you want womens silk underwear, you can find silky corsets as well. For beautifully detailed and embellished corsetry, try a corset made from a brocade.

Corsets that lace up the front are particularly sexy. But front lacing isn't your only option. You can also find corsets with clasps or hooks in the front or lacing in the back.

Looking for a complete set of womens silk underwear? Most corsets are available with a matching thong or panties. Also, many come with detachable garters. For the ultimate in womens sexy underwear, garters are a must-have. A shriveled pile of control-top pantyhose is anything but erotic!

Silk Tie

Dress for Success -

Few clothing accessories denote style and luxury as silk ties can. Silk Ties add a special sheen to a mans suit offering both visual interest and personal expression. Other Materials may be used in the manufacturing of ties but silk has a built in cache of expense and glamour. Silk ties benefit from the richer dyes used by silk producers and the expertise of high end designers. Fashion experts often coordinate tailored suits with appropriate silk ties for effect.

Business fashion experts say the choice of tie can reflect the wearers personality or preferred image. Silk ties offer very bold color schemes and pattern which imply power or security. These ties can also be coordinated with dress shirts to give the impression of organization and personal neatness.

Silk can be printed or woven. Woven silk tends to be thicker and you will often see a fabric weave running through it.

How to clean a Silk Tie:

1. Act immediately

2. Resist the temptation to expose a silk tie to water

3. Use a white paper towel to dab a small amount of stain remover onto the stain

4. Blot with the paper towel.

5. Have the tie professionally dry- cleaned if you haven't gotten rid of the stain.

Care and Storage:

1. Treat your ties with a specialized fabric protection spray before wearing them.

2. Avoid tie- threatening situations such as open soup bowls, ketchup or mustard packets and babies.

3. Loosely roll ties to store them, rather than hanging them. Tie rolls should be loose to avoid wrinkling, hanging ties can leave creases.

Buying the Right Tie:

To begin with you first need a quality tie made up of 100% pure silk to accomplish that job. As a perfect person you are generally expected to wear a plain colored non- distracting tie with your suit e.g.: in dark red or dark blue color. A crooked tie projects a sloppy look and says the same about the skills and abilities. Therefore it's important to focus on the tie knot as well.

Conclusion:

1. Buy a quality conservative 100% pure silk tie.

2. Practice how to tie the four in hand tie knot and make sure that the tie's widest end is roughly at the upper edge of your belt.

3. Use a tie bar to attach your tie to your dress shirt.

Remember wearing a quality silk tie properly tied and fastened is probably the fastest way to improve the overall appearance and doubling your chances of leaving a favorable impression.

Bustiers - For Brides and For Every Woman

For the bride-to-be, a bridal bustier is a must-have. You want to feel like the most beautiful woman on earth when you walk down the aisle. A bridal bustier helps by making sure you look amazing in your wedding dress. They slim, flatten, and hoist, all while looking smooth and seamless under your gown.

Here's how the bridal bustier works. Bustiers start at the bosom and go down to the hips. They're like corsets in that they feature boning that helps keep everything "in place," so to speak.

Bridal bustiers are created to be invisible. Often, they're totally seamless and feature hidden underwire, a low-cut back, and straps that can be removed. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of bridal bustiers are white.

Bustiers, corsets, and basques are actually three different pieces of lingerie. If you hear the term "bustier corset," it usually refers to a bustier that's made to firmly cinch and hold. The bustier corset is something women turn to when an ensemble calls for a near-perfect figure. You probably wouldn't want to wear one every day, but they're ideal for occasions when you want to be an absolute knock-out. A bustier corset can instantly trim 3 or 4 pounds off your figure and make you appear curvy yet toned.

Almost all bustiers come with removal straps. The strapless bustier has a couple of different uses. They're ideal for wearing under a strapless gown and tube tops. In fact, they're also great for a top or dress with thin spaghetti straps. A strapless bustier provides all the support you need, but with no unsightly appearances from your bra straps.

A strapless bustier can also be a fashion statement. Increasingly, women are wearing strapless bustiers as tops. They're sexy and sassy for a night on the town. Paired with a blazer they can even be toned down enough for less wild occasions.

Lots of sexy costumes feature bustiers. Using a bustier in the costume's design can make even Little Red Riding Hood a red hot temptress. A witch costume complete with a bustier says no warts here, only delightfully devilish spells. Here are just a few of the sexy costumes that typically include bustiers:

  • Devil
  • Pirate
  • Fairy
  • Bar maid
  • Princess
  • Santa's little helper
Of course, as you already know, bustiers make for sizzling sexy lingerie. No piece of sexy lingerie is truly sexy unless it makes you feel fabulous. And fabulous you will feel with the womanly, hourglass shape that an exotic bustier will give you.

When meant to serve as sexy lingerie, bustiers come in less "functional" varieties. That is, the vertical seams and lacing are meant to be visually appealing and not to constrict. You get the best of both worlds: an exotic bustier that's seductive yet fairly comfortable to wear.

Sexy, lacey bras and panties are great, but can become common-place. An exotic bustier makes you look and feel like a "take charge" kind of gal. Really wow that special someone with a piece of lingerie they never expected. Even the shyest of women will feel like a total goddess in an exotic bustier.
