The Worst Fashion Combinations

We have all had a look through the photo albums and often wondered what on earth we were thinking when we decided that floral jumper looked great with the leopard print leggings. Interestingly money doesn't buy you style and it's often celebrities that end up putting together some of the worst fashion combinations. Here are a few pointers to help you know what to avoid. Just because it's hot on the catwalk doesn't mean it's going to look good on you, remember many fashion designers about push boundaries and concept design. Don't mix denim with denim, it didn't look good in the 80's and it won't look good now, look to combine denim skirts, jeans and jackets with other solid colors and if you have to wear darker denim washes, you don't want to look like you are wearing a denim suit.

Is Fast Fashion Making Us Sick? In her new book, journalist Alden Wicker examines the public health impact of an under-regulated industry. On a recent spring afternoon, journalist Alden Wicker was examining a neon orange purse at H&M.

All About Beauty

Beauty is not skin deep. It's attitude that separates the beauty from the crowd. "Looking at beauty in the world, is the first step of purifying the mind." The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears. All women are beautiful, regardless of their looks.

What many people don’t realize is that many of these promises are based on chemicals that can also be hazardous to your health, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can interfere with fertility and reproduction, fetal growth, and infant development. That’s a big concern, because these products are heavily marketed to young ...
