70's for the 21st Century

The 70's style is a HUGE trend for this year.
Here are some tips on how to modernize the 70's trend for the 21st century.
Think That 70's Show meets Gossip Girl

-platforms are like so 1970 but wedges are so 2010.
-pair a wedged sandal or heel with flared or wide legged pants for a long and lean look that is within our century.
-When picking a bottom go for a denim or light neutral colour. White is going to be a big trend for pants.
-An easy way to get the 70's looking without looking like you just stepped out of a time machine is to wear a flared/wide legged bottom wide sleeved top that fits closer to the body and adding a boyfriend jacket on top.
- now if you want to wear a dress opt for the maxi. The maxi can be dressed up and/or dressed down very easily. This is a staple item for spring/summer 2011. For a dressy look go for a black with gold accessories. For more of a casual day time look pick one that has lots of colour and pair it with a sandal and chunky bold accessories.

*gold was the colour for accessories in the 1970's and bold jewelry was also very popular. So if you just want a hint of the 70's without the whole package go BIG and go GOLD.
*make-up in the 70's was very colourful and playful. Pick colours from your outfit to give yourself a clean modern 70's make-up look.
*hair wasn't as big as the 60's but don't think that gives you any reason to get rid of the hairspray. &0's hairstyles were all about wavy flipped curls and messy updo's. When using a straightener flip the ends of your hair back and add hairspray but fan it out to give it that messy 21st century meets 70's hair.


\
*flared jeans with a raglan sleeved top that is fitted on the torso

*same look but added a boyfriend fit jacket



*make-up used bright colours on the eyes but toned it down with a light pink gloss and bronzer with a light pink blush on the cheeks

*gold dangling earring with a metallic headband kills two trends with one look.


Hope this helps everyone modernize the 70's for the 21st century!!!!!

New Eyeliner

I just bought this eyeliner and I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
It's NYX Felt Tip liner
The modo for this product is...
"As easy as a pencil & as intense as liquid"
..and it sticks to it's motto.
The application is so simple it just glides right on the eyelid. The best thing I love about this item is that it is as easy to take off as it is to put on. All you need is water no soap and it DOESN'T smudge which is amazing, in case you make a mistake you can easily fix it without the mess that most liquids and pencils cause.
I only paid $10 for this item and I love it.
If you want to see this item and others check out their website http://www.nyxcosmetics.ca for product and store listings!!!

Fashionable Activewear

Are you in a rut trying to find work out clothes that don't look like plain old work out attire? Don't you want to look good while working out? If you answered yes to either of these questions then look no further than Titika Canada Inc.

"Titika offers fashion forward active-wear clothing that is easily incorporated into everyday life.... Wear Titika while seeking you're favourite endorphin rush whether it be yoga, dancing, cycling, or anything else that gets you moving to the rhythm of life!"

Now I know what you're all thinking where can you get Titika and how much does it cost. Titika has two locations one at 2012 Queen st. In the beaches and another in Oakville. If you can't make it to either of these two locations fear not, the Titika brand is also sold at Sporting Life. You can pick up your Titika outfits at their Yonge and Eglinton location as well as their Sherway Gardens location.

Titika offers everything from sports bras to shorts, winter jackets to skirts,as well as cute cardigans and cover ups. You name it Titika has it.

Titika is a new Canadian based company - with their head office located in Toronto - that was founded by two women that both graduated from George Brown College's Fashion program two years ago.
"You can feel peace knowing that Titika's garments are of superior quality..Our technical skills and advanced manufacturing abilities have enabled us to create a product that is exceptional in all aspects of apparel.
