Fashion Must-Haves of This Season. Fashion Spring-Summer 2009.

Here come nine most fashionable things of the Summer 2009. Fashionable clothes, shoes and accessories that you MUST have in your wardrobe this summer.

1. Heel-strap sandal booties.
This Fall and Winter we get used to booties. And now in summer neither fashion-conscious people nor designers want to part with them. As a result we have very open booties or very closed sandals. You can wear them on bare feet or with pantyhose. Sandal booties look very sexy and beautiful. Anyway this must-have is a real hit of the catwalks. Look for them in Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Maison Martin Margiela, Paul Smith, Chanel and Alexander McQueen's collections.

2. Overalls.
This summer overalls will compete with our favorite dresses, all the more so fashion designers prepared for us many variants of the overalls. You can put on black classical overall going to your office, light coloured overall is good for party, short cotton overall is for beach. Interesting models of overalls you can find in Moschino Cheap & Chic, D&G, Missoni and Fendi's collections.

3. Stylish separate swimsuit.
Such swimsuits make silhouettes visually more graceful and this makes them very popular! But there is one disadvantage about them - sunburn will be quite fanciful. But designers of such trends as Agent Provocateur, La Perla, Topshop and Marc by Marc Jacobs are absolutely comfortable with that!

4. Sunglasses Ray-Ban Wayfarer.
Sunglasses Ray-Ban Wayfarer are "HELLO" from 80's. In 80's they were extremely popular in Hollywood. Let's remember "The Blues Brothers" with Daniel Aykroyd and John Belushi or "Rain Man" with Tom Cruise. Today the Ray-Ban sunglasses are favourite accessory of Hollywood celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Mischa Barton and others.


5. Military style of jackets.
This thing became must-have in spring Fashion Week in Paris. According to streetstyle photos it is the most popular attire there. Duh! This thing underlines a figure very nicely!

Many holes or just few of them - as you wish. Besides you can make this fashionable thing by yourself! Or you can find it in Balmain, Acne or House of Holland collections.

How To Lose Weight Easily

Finding out how to lose weight is not an easy task for many of us, particularly thinking about that the shortest path to weight loss is different for everyone. Sure, the common denominator is always proper diet and exercise, which not only help in weight loss, but also keep a body healthy. No doubt you have heard it before — the challenge is to follow through. Others have lost weight by following these simple guidelines. So can you.

How to lose weight. Follow these 6 simple rules in your fighting for a perfect body:

What You Will Need:

* Food and exercise journals
* Healthy foods
* Health cookbooks

1. Set small, sober aims. If you have a lot of excess weight, try for five pounds, relax a bit and then go for five more.
2. Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Then, if doesn't work, sneak in additional exercise (plus to your regular program). For example you can park at the far end of the parking lot and walk a bit; walk up the stairs instead of the elevator.
3. Don't forget that healthy foods are an important thing in losing weight. Eat healthy fats from nuts, seeds and olive oil, and high-fiber foods: vegetable salads and whole-grain pastas.
4. Choose foods that you love. Learn to cook healthy food, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books or web sites for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating bad. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This way, your organism starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating.
5. Plan ahead. Keep your refrigerator stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food.
6. Determine your favorite snack time and be sure to have plenty of healthful options available when you get hungry. But don't eat cookies and sweeties for snack as many people like to do :) Keep a food diary. It will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet.

Modern Tendency. All new - well forgotten old.

GAP - the fashion brand - has presented a new collection of denim which is a transformed version of the collection of 1969.

Many designers were working on the new version of the collection. Their primary goal was to create convenient and qualitative clothes from denim. They had to be made in classical style but adapted for a modern fashion.
As a result we have skinny jeans, denim boots from Pierre Hardy, tops and hats from Albertus Swanepoel.

«Developing the collection, we thought about women's wishes. Every woman wants to feel herself sexy in our clothes, but for men comfort is very important, - said Patrick Robertson the main designer GAP. - for this reason all our models perfectly underline a figure, but thus they are very comfortable».

The collection will go on sale in August of this year.

The “MOBILIARIO HUMANO” Furniture Made From Naked Men (Photos David Blazquez).

We wonder when some designers make furniture from steel or cactuses, other ones prefer to use people for this purpose. It sound strange enough. But not for David Blazquez.
David Blazquez's collection looks impressive at least. But it is very difficult to say whether we like it or not. The collection made by a man and from men. However photographers use women in their collections more frequent. The beauty of feminine body helps them to express their feelings. This time we see something opposite.

The collection by spanish photographer David Blazquez was named “MOBILIARIO HUMANO” or "Human Furniture".

David Blazquez explores the idea of "naked bodies" furniture in his 1st exhibition at seville’s el fotomata gallery. His background in image manipulation shines through in this series which depict various pieces of furniture made from naked male bodies. In every work of ‘Human Furniture’, the artist himself appears in the nude, often in multiples embodying the furniture and props in the photographs. the series explores the concept of objects, nudity and the self-portrait. the series includes a variety of ‘furniture’ subjects all shot in black and white including an ironing board, bathtub and floor lamp.

Ruches and Frills Season.

Femininity enjoys wide popularity this season. Ruches and frills are very fashionable this spring and summer 2009. Such designers as Alberta Ferretti, Marc Jacobs, Emanuel Ungaro and Moschino shows us their light dresses with frills and ruches.

The girls in gorgeous silk taffetta dresses with a ruffle that went behind their heads to a crescendo on one shoulder. Some had a bow at the base of the back in true Ungaro style.

Black and white waistcoats, wide double leather belts and sloppy T-shirts over taffeta minis gave this a morning-after, rock chick cool, while flame bright prints on kaftan robes caught low on the hips gave Seventies glamour a South American twist.
