A simple, glitter free belt will definitely do the trick if you are thinking of using it at the office. A glamorous, more colorful belt is perfect to help you be the center of attention at the club.

Wearing your belt the proper way is also important.

When talking about famous female models, pretty close to the top, we will see a name that may be recognized from many ads and shows, a name which can only be associated with one face that simply took the world of fashion my storm, and that name is Adriana Lima. If you don’t know the name, you surely know the face; a Brazilian that started from the age of 13 when she was discovered in a local mall. It didn’t take long for her to show her talent and natural beauty as well as her charismatic personality and by the age of 15, she won the Ford Supermodel of Brazil contest and came second in the Ford Supermodel of the World contest. This, of course, proved to be just a starting point in a long career in modeling and things only got bigger as she moved to the Big Apple, New York City.

After signing a contract with Elite Model Management, she became, little by little, quite famous and appeared in countless Vogue editions as well as other big fashion magazines and shows. Many of the big designers saw her as a perfect model and hired her to step on the catwalk with their latest clothes. Names such as Fendi, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren and many more can be found in her portfolio and by the year 2000, she wasn’t showing the slightest sign of slowing down. This year actually came with a new title, the Guess? girl after she featured in an ad campaign.

Other shows and magazines followed, each better than the last and in 2006, when she was the cover girl for GQ, the issue was the highest selling one of the year showing the world once again why Adriana Lima deserves to be considered one of the world’s most famous models. While her body and everything about it is perfect, no one can argue that her eyes are what make her so special; it is enough to look at them once and you are lost forever, or at least this is what fashion designers say.

Now, Adriana is a spokesperson for Angel and everyone is looking forward to seeing her again on the cover of famous magazines around the world.

There are countless models of rings available made with some of the most amazing and expensive materials but this doesn’t always mean that they are fashionable. Granted, if you want to look glamorous, then a golden ring with a big stone would do the trick but there are also other ways that can help you get a great look and not be as expensive. Rings are also classified depending on their size, and this season, it is all about the big rings.

Don’t think that size means a big diamond; it can even be made of plastic as long as it has a nice color and fits well with the rest of the outfit. Handmade jewelry is always a good option because they are unique and you can even ask the artist to have one made especially for you. This means that there are infinite options available and colors that would amaze you. Big rings are very popular amongst celebrities and just by opening a fashion magazine, you will find some great examples.

When talking about big rings, don’t think about those four finger rings that rappers used to wear in the `90s, these are much more elegant and not really made to blind everyone around it. The simple rule is that the ring should be bigger than the finger it stands on and the color is usually chosen depending on the outfit. Big, bold rings can be found with silver, gold or steel base and with every design imaginable from flowers to hearts and to big stones.

Of course, the biggest fashion designers in the field can also offer you some amazing rings that can fit into this category. These are more expensive than the handmade ones but they do offer a certain bragging aspect that simple rings simply cannot. Big rings are a great way to express what you feel and show everyone your style with something as subtle as a ring but as noticeable as anything else in your outfit.

Your body size shouldn’t matter if you want to feel beautiful on that prom night you’ve been expecting all your high school. Even if you are a plus size, curvy or even full figure woman, you shouldn’t be stressed about how the dress will look on you. With the following tips and trends, you will definitely look gorgeous.

Patterns – if you are looking for a dress with patterns you probably know that not all patterns are great for a person with a curvier body. If you want big patterns, make sure that you choose the simple ones such as lines and one color shapes. You should also be careful with small patterns and here the same rules apply. You can choose stripes and according to some scientists choosing vertical stripes is not flattering at all, so it seems that horizontal stripes are the ones that make you thinner. But it’s up to you what type of patterns and stripes you want to choose.

Maxi dresses – if you want to hide your legs or you simply don’t like showing much skin a maxi dress is the perfect choice. Another good advantage when it comes to these dresses is the fact that it is extremely trendy this year and it will definitely continue being trendy in the next seasons. It will make you look slimmer and taller but make sure that you wear a pair of high heels to match it. You can accessorize it with anything you want, from pearls to ethnic jewelry, it’s your choice.

Colors – when it comes to colors, women who have a curvy figure usually go for black, but that’s not the best decision. You need to find brighter or at least happier colors for your prom. A great choice would be a beautiful red or blue dress. With a blue dress, you won’t fail because is the new trend and the red dress is always trendy so take your pick. Don’t be afraid to choose brighter colors like a light blue, aqua or turquoise but also peach, hot pink and popsicle. These colors will look amazing and maybe you’ll even become the queen of the prom.

As for cuts and shapes, makes sure that your dress enhances your assets instead of hiding them. If you have big breasts, show some cleavage and if you have beautiful legs, wear a mini skirt. Enhance your appearance however you see fit and you will definitely feel like a star.
