A well made jumpsuit can really make paintball easy by offering a wide range of motion will still keeping you covered in the more adventurous forest like terrain.  Meanwhile making a less than ideal footwear choice also offers you little of the assurance you get from a tightly tied pair of boots. In the end the opportunity to play paintball should be embraced fully and part of the full experience is suiting up in the right kind of gear that can assure you effective play and comfort.

When you paintball suited up in military style regalia you are far more likely to attack the game with focus and attentive sense of competition it requires for full immersion.  Playing paintball shouldn’t be serious per say but taking the gear situation seriously can assure you some extra pride and possibly a win. Looking good and have fun at the same time.

However, some, like Oscar de la Renta’s collection, are perfect as presented to the public. This collection consists of delicate, feminine silhouettes that are designed to make you feel like a true lady. Many of the pieces look as though they were inspired by Betty Draper’s party dress wardrobe; the others are clearly designed for the Red Carpet. All of them are exquisite.

These designs are simply stunning; they unabashedly embrace classic feminine styles, and there is something to be said to that. Once I figure out the best way to become a millionaire, I will buy exclusively from this collection.

First, prep the eyes with a eyeshadow primer or just by applying some foundation or concealer. Any of those choices will create a base for the makeup to stick to. You want to start with the liner, lining both the top and bottom rims of your eyes. Now you need to move on to a small eyeshadow brush or even just a q-tip and soften the edges of your line. Apply a dark shadow next, to the penciled area. The best way to do this is with a sponge applicator. But you can also feel free to smudge with your fingers.

The final touch is using a lighter eyeshadow to encircle the entire eye area, soften and graduating as you move outwards to make things look perfectly blended. Add mascara and ta-da! A great smokey eye look for any night out. And here you though you didn’t have the beauty savvy to pull it off! Just take your time and you’ll look fabulous.

I think that the major reason for this release is probably to have great press release photos of David Beckham half naked to entice more women to come into the store to shop in general. And maybe pick up their boyfriends a thing or two from the line, hoping it will transform them into Beckham or something.

Either way, it’s a bit of a “dull” line being that it’s all basics, but for men, I guess that’s all they really need. I can’t wait for the next time Madonna comes around to design a few things again because that H&M line was hot!

You want to wear elegant, but simple jewelry; dangling chandelier earrings or simple stud earrings are your best options. If you wear a bracelet or necklace, wear one made from sterling silver. Paint your nails and your lips red to accentuate the elegance of your hands and to draw attention to your mouth.

Your hairdo is a fun way of expressing the time period of the event; if you have short hair, put into a ‘20s bob. If you have long hair, put it into a fake bob by loosely curling the hair that frames your face and tucking the ends of your hair under its body and pinning it close to your neck; doing this will give you a temporary bob. Use a gentle, non-aerosol hairspray to hold your hair in place without making it sticky and stiff.

If you want to create loose ‘40s barrel curls, use either hot rollers or a 1 ½ inch curling iron. Either will curl and set your hair in the perfect style. Flip your hair over and run your fingers through it to loosen the curls and add volume and then set with a non-aerosol, gentle hairspray.

The appropriate noir look, which includes accessories and hairstyle, will give the confidence to enjoy the themed party.

The fun palette, as pictured,  is their brighter, technicolored palette of choice for those not afraid to be bold. I used to shy away from bright eyeshadows but this palette has really let me embrace them.  These colors are not for the faint of heart; the gold is GOLD and will make you look like your eyelids were touched by King Midas himself. The blue, purple and fuchsia are great colors that come on bright but can be easily toned down if need be. My biggest gripe is the silver eyeshadow, which seems to be not much more than a lot of glitter that gets EVERYWHERE. I avoid it for the most part unless I dip my brush in water first so that the sparkles stick together a bit better.

The palette comes with small version of their 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Oil Slick, a really fun black liner with a bit of sparkle. It’s really easy to apply and while I’m typically a fan of liquid liners, I’ve really taken to the softness and ease of this pencil.

If you shop through their site you also get a mini version of their Eyeshadow Primer Potion, which really, really works. I used to use the old trick of placing foundation on my eyelids before applying, but this primer does the job even better. It’s convinced me to go out and pick up a full bottle.

It’s a great complete set to give you a, well, fun look! It’s my go to most days, whether just heading to the office or going out on the weekend.

So if you want to let the world know you are supporting the blackout, you can do so with some creative ideas. The first and easiest is to wear all black for the day. I’m sure we all have a great pair of black slacks, pumps, and a black blouse. You can let people know that you are visually supporting the blackout by blacking out your own wardrobe!

You can also put together that amazing outfit you were inspired to create from that YouTube video you loved or that user submitted fashion site. You can let people know that you found the inspiration from online and that if SOPA passes, your wardrobe just won’t be as amazing because you won’t be allowed access to these kinds of content.

Spring in the time for the big, bold colors, and that is really shown in some of these outfits:

These are some gorgeous, flowy pieces with wild colors that still compliment each other well. I can’t wait to see these pieces in store so I can try a few on, especially that first dress that looks eye catching and comfortable!

In the mean time, Nicole Miller’s older pieces for JCPenney are on sale right now in store and online as they try to get rid of the old to make room for the new. Best time to stock up for the next fall season of fashion!

Pastels may remind you of when you were a little girl, or the kinds of colors you dyed your Easter eggs. That’s exactly the kind of thing that designers are going for. It has almost a nostalgic feel to it, making you think of the fun dresses you wore for the spring (though probably hated at such a young age).

And it’s not just a trend in clothing but in make up as well. Smashbox has just released their Be Discovered line for the spring and it’s all about pastels.  Take a look at their new eyeshadow palette:

It’s the perfect palette to compliment your flowing spring dress.

It’s not a trend every woman is going to love and it’s tough that the exact opposite, military style, was in last spring so it probably means a total overhaul of the wardrobe. But if you embrace it, you may find that you absolutely love it!

Although corduroy pants are getting a lot of attention this season, as mentioned above, corduroy comes in many different forms and styles. Corduroy’s versatility makes it the perfect clothing for whatever mood you are in. It is an incredibly comfortable fabric and grows softer with each wearing. Corduroy pants are available in all the popular  pant styles, such as flair, straight-leg, skinny, and boot-cut designs. And, if you think that corduroy jumpers and skirts are only appropriate for little girls, you are mistaken.   come in a variety of different lengths and colors and are the perfect stylish accessory for looking fashionable and feeling warm during the winter months. And, if corduroy is properly cared for, it may last you for several years.

Victoria’s Secret has a surprisingly wide selection of well made corduroy that is available in a variety of styles and colors. If you are looking to get a better sense of how to accessorize and style corduroy, check out the company’s website or catalogue. If Victoria’s Secret is out of price range or comfort zone, check out the corduroy collections of Old Navy or even dELiA’s.
