Mod Fashion Tips: Selecting Clothing That’s Right For Your Hourglass Figure
Spring is here, and clothing designers are introducing their newest styles in skirts, dresses, denim jeans, shirts, and halter tops. The mod, hipster, and retro fashion mavens among us tend to covet certain styles. However, to look your best, it’s also essential to select clothing styles that complement your figure.At first glance, the hourglass figure seems like the embodiment of feminine perfection. Men lust after it and women covet it. Surprisingly, we’ve found that hourglass-shaped ladies can’t wear everything. Too-tight clothes, like leggings and provocative halters, tend to look trampy. Too-big clothes, like baggy sheath dresses and very wide-legged denim jeans, tend to look sloppy. Read on to discover the clothing styles that flatter you, and get hip to the hottest clothing design trends, too.DressesIf you have an hourglass figure, play up your curves by selecting clothing with a defined waist. This year, designer Corey Lynn Calter introduced the “Raven” dress, a sheath, rust-color patterned dress with a slim waist. This dress accents your curves in all the right places without revealing too much flesh. Another flattering dress for your figure is the “Duo” strapless sailor dress by clothing designer Hype. This grey and magenta swirled sun dress, which features a front tie and side pockets, is perfectly filled out by your pretty figure.If you’re into A-line styles, add a belt to make a big splash and play up your intriguing lines. For example, the “Mod-est” dress by Jessie Williams is a short, flirty sheath-style dress with bell sleeves. You can wear this dress as beautifully as your boy-figured sisters if you cinch it with a wide belt at the waist. When buying this dress, opt for solid colors over patterns or stripes to flatter your curves.Formal wear is tailor made for hourglass figures. However, there are still certain dress styles that suit you better than others. One option we like this year is the “Cupra” white, strapless gown by Zeto. The black-colored tie-back evens out your figure, and the white, meshy tulle bust accents subtly play up your curves. Pair this long dress with the “Lovely Day” textured gold high heel shoes by Poetic License.Pants and JeansWhen selecting pants, opt for cuts that balance your figure and play up your assets. For example, the “Electric Blue” skinny jeans by Paper Denim feature a higher waist that accents the curve of your hips, and ankle zippers that showcase your bottom half.If zippers aren’t your style, try the “Rose” grey straight leg denim jeans by Union. The full-coverage, low-rise waist and minimal pocket detailing play your curves like a melody. Joan Jett-style punk-rock denim jeans scream for cute flats. We like the “Night Velvet” textured plastic flats by Melissa Plastic Dreams, or the “Sadie” navy blue ballet flats by Pink Studio.Flares are always hot, and the hourglass figure can wear many flared styles. The “Isabella” jeans by Paper Denim feature a mid-rise waist, and bell-bottom legs that create long, dreamy lines. If denim’s a bit too casual for you, slide into a pair of Union Jeans’ flared corduroy pants in navy blue or grey. The soft, stretchy fabric hugs your curves in all the right places. Pair your flares with intriguing shoes, like the”Marta” square-toe, wooden heel T-strap shoes by Frye, or the “Sorbet” black leather high heel boots by Chie Mihara.Tops and tee shirtsScoop neck tops are beautiful on ample busts. This spring, try the “Alice” organic cotton racer-back tank top by Velvet Leaf. The modest scoop neck and sailor tie gracefully accent your chest and shoulders. If you prefer fewer details, the “Oyashio” vest-style, scoop neck tank top by Dagg and Stacey offers a peep of cleavage and creates graceful lines.Flowing fabrics done right also accent hourglass figures ? providing your shirt choices aren’t too baggy. The “Marcie” owl-print swing top by Corey Lynn Calter balances your curves, while the “Joni” ruffle-neck blouse by Dear Creatures is gently loose throughout, but slim right at the waist to play up your assets.When in doubt, classic tee shirts are never a bad idea. The young designers at Blood is the New Black have a few things in store for the curvy girl ? check out their “Offering” and “Fists of Fury” tee shirts that feature sleek cuts, sweet cap sleeves, and big, bold printed graphics. If basics are what you need, try the women’s ribbed “Beater” tank top by Alternative Apparel. The cut draws attention to your neck and arms while hugging your body just right. Grab a few in black, rose, and green so you can mix-and-match your wardrobe.Happy shopping, girls!Edge of Urge is a mod, retro, hipster, and boho fashion boutique in Wilmington, NC.

Maplestory Thieves Building Equipment
Right away at level 10 you’re gonna want to buy the entire level 10 set, it doesn’t matter which color, mainly because they all do the same thing and don’t give any stat boosts. Plus at this low of a level, they’d hardly make a difference anyway maplestory powerleveling. Personally I like the red set of gear, but you know, it doesn’t really matter. You’re gonna want to grab a garnier right away, and subis will do fine if you haven’t funded your character. Even if you have funding, subis wont make much of a difference at this level.
At level 15 upgrade to the dark set of gear. It’s not the most attractive set, but why not change up clothing. Either way, you still get a really cool hat, in my opinion at least. The shoes don’t need to be changed either, but meh, if you want the extra def, go with your way. The level 15 claw is an okay grab. The mithril titans not only improve your attacking speed (Which is the most important), but they also improve your weapon defense, and obviously your attack power.
Level 20. Ahh, the famous Pao gear. It’s really great-looking stuff, get it. Preferably the dark set, since you’ll get some nifty luck and MP bonuses. The green hat for the set also gives 5 MP, so you can add that in there too. The other gear is nice too, but you’ll be neading that black top for the luck bonus. Pick any shoe you want, too. It’s all good. Buy or craft an Adamantium Igor, as well. It matches the gear nicely, and you could stand a new weapon.
Hmm, level 25, a debated set of gear for this level. Most people think that your level 25 Top is really ugly since it’s pretty much two straps of leather, but I don’t think so. Maybe I’m just weird, I don’t know. If you really want to skip it though, that’s fine, but I think the level 30 gear is worse, so I usually skip that. You can at least get the pants for the set, though. I really like them, and the Dark Brown Sneak Pants give a nice luck bonus, and they wont look too bad in conjunction with a Pao top. The set I went for at this level was the entire Dark Brown set, aside from the hat, which we’ll get to shortly. Firstly though, we’ve got to worry about our claw. The Meba. Honestly, you can’t skip this claw. Infact, you should scroll this claw with seven 100% scrolls, which can be bought at the Kerning Pharmacy. You can often buy prescrolled ones and save a bunch of maplestory mesos, though. Why are you scrolling it? This is your fastest claw. It’s attack isn’t the normal “Fast”, it’s “Faster”. Yeah, it’s a huge difference and it’ll blow your mind later if you goof around with one and have a few points into booster. Now, for the hat. Buy a brown bamboo hat. It compliments the Sneak set really well, and it gives an amazing +3 LUK. You’ll use this hat till level 40 along with the claw. =P Finally, at level 26, buy a pair of whitebottom shoes. They’re really cool shoes, yep. I prefer Pink with my sneak set, for some reason, but a lot of people would debate that. Just pick a shoe, it’s not worth crafting one since you get your level 30 shoe for free.
Speaking of the level 30 shoe, let’s go over how you’ll acquire it. I’m not going to go into an asinine amount of detail about it, but in order to get the level 30, shoe find Nella in Kerning City. Do all of her quests, there are 2 sets of quests. One designed for level 15 people; the last one in this quest will give you a glove. The second set of quests will yield your level 30 shoe, silver chain boots. There are 3 quests for level 15, and 3 quests for level 25. Yeah, it’s a pain doing them alll, but the result isn’t only the shoes and gloves. You’ll also get a lot of potions, which you can use, and they’ll save you a bunch of money.
So now, the level 30 set. I really hate the main gear for this level. It’s just not well made. At least with the Sneak set we had an idea going, with this set… you’re just an ugly mass of skintight armor. Please skip this set, for the sake of humanity. If you don’t… prepare to be ugly for 5 levels, I guess if you’re basically about stats, you’ll like it though. It’s definately an improvement in defense, that’s it though. Another option, instead of the Sneak set, or the hideous Stealer (level 30) set, is the Sauna Robe. Sometimes you’ll see people who are level 50+ using these Robes, that’s because there are Scrolls which add DEX to Overall Armor, and these people will scroll as much dex as they can into their robe, and then not add any points into DEX for a while. This way, they still meet the requirements for weapons, but have lots of extra points into LUK. That’s the off-dex build, but I don’t suggest doing it at all, especially if you’re not funded. If you do it, you’re pretty much stuck with that Sauna Robe for a long time, and honestly, it’s also pretty ugly. You can wear it though, but you don’t have to use DEX on it. It is a bit of a refreshing outfit for a while, however, it’s refreshing feeling dies out after 20 levels of it, so just don’t scroll it once you get it from the VIP Sauna quest, assuming you do it. I’m not going to go into that, though.
Level 35 a good level, really. Your new gear will give a bunch of cool stats, and it’s cheap. Even if it has Perfect LUK, it’s cheap. So why not buy a perfect luck set? Get the Green Knucklevest Top, and the Blue Knucklevest Pants. Those are the most common ones. If you like Dark Burglars, you should be able to get a perfect LUK Dark Burglar for not too many mesos, however, a perfect LUK Dark Burglar still only gives 2 LUK, which is 1 less than the Brown Bamboo hat I told you to buy. Also, if you want Black Knucklevest Pants, that’s fine too, since those also give LUK. Same with Red Knucklevest Top as well. So you’ve got some mixing up you can do. If you want to, craft the level 35 shoes. They look nice, and give semi-decent stats. The red shoes give the most LUK, so those will do you the most good. You can also get a free glove for this level by completing John’s Level 30 Jump Quest. John is in Lith harbor, if you didn’t know. He’s a fisherman with a bucket of fish, can’t miss him.
Yay, level 40. Now you start getting really sexy. If you have the money, buy a Dark Shadow set. The pants might be a pain to find, but you should be able to find someone selling them in a little while. Just look for sellers for a while, and don’t start looking when you’re level 39, it might take you a few days. If you’re more interested in your stats then you are in your looks, then skip this set. It’s expensive, actually very expensive to buy a Dark Shadow set with perfect LUK. Marine Shadow gives LUK also, but it should be expensive as well, although much less pricey then the Dark Shadow set. On top of this, it’s finally time for a new claw. Either craft an Adamantium Avarice and scroll it with 100% scrolls, or buy a pre-scrolled one. It’s also finally time to slip out of that Brown Bamboo Hat, and buy a pilfer. I strongly suggest buying a 3 LUK Pilfer, which means Red and Dark are your only options. If you go with Red, I hope you’re planning on using Red China at level 50, because it wont match anything else. Dark will match everything, so it’s a good option, since then you’re allowed to switch gear without destroying your appearance. Hmm, moving forward, craft some Split Shoes. These are definately worth it, and they’re not bad to use until level 60. Red split shoes will give you the best stats, comparitively.
Level 50 you finally get to wear a cape. I suggest one that matches your level 50 gear. China gear is great, and inexpensive, so buy it. The only expensive set of china is Brown China. Brown China is probably my favorite of all the colors offered, because it just works so well with Snowshoes, and a Dark Slain, but it’s all about your ideas. All of the colors of China will give the same LUK, so it doesn’t really matter which color you pick. This is where you’ll get your Slain, too. Dark Slains can not be crafted, but they are dropped from enemies so they have potential for higher base attack. We’ll get into how to start scrolling your claw at this level, eventually. The level 50 shoes are probably a waste of maple story mesos, at least that’s how I feel. They require 2 moon rocks, which is a pain, really. Especially if you haven’t done the Arwen’s Glass Shoe quest. Also, stick with your Pilfer. The level 50 hat is ugly. Very ugly. However, once again, if stats are your thing, then go ahead and buy a 4 LUK Brown Sonata.
Another debated set of gear for you to decide on, Scorpio. A lot of people dislike the top to this set, mainly because it is, in a sense, a belly shirt. You’ll see all sorts of level 60 outfits. You’ll see people at level 60 wearing a Dark Shadow Top (The level 40 top, if you forgot) with Dark Scorpio Pants, since they seem to match well. You’ll also see people skipping the set entirely, and sticking with their China for a while. Make a pair of Dark Moss boots; they’re really cheap to make, only one Moon Rock, and a Refined Black Crystal will be the things that put a hole in your wallet, but still, that’s only about 300,000 mesos, nothing huge, especially at level 60. You’ll also want to make a pricey purchase, the Identity. This level 60 hat isn’t very cheap (at least it isn’t when I’m writing this FAQ) but it looks great, especially with a scorpio set of corresponding colors. (Light Scorpio Set corresponds to Silver Identity, Oaker Scorpio Set corresponds to Bronze Identity, and Dark Scorpio Set corresponds to Dark Identity.) It doesn’t look so good with China, though. Personally my favorite is the Light Scorpio set, but that’s definitely for people who aren’t about stats. The Light Scorpio set after all does give a lot of DEX that you don’t need. If you’re about stats, you’ll want to go with the Dark Scorpio set with a Dark Identity. It’ll be pricey, but it’ll give great stats, and look pretty decent. The level 60 claw is the Gigantic. Bronze Gigantics, first of all, are a pain. They are only dropped by one monster, Tauro Spears, and those things hurt. On top of that, it’s the only level 60 claw that drops, so they’re a tad pricey. You can skip it if you want, since by the time you’re 70, you’ll be able to hunt for a Fury (once Wizet finally patches so that they can drop).
Now onto the level 70 gear. the level 70 set is the stud set. Personally, I think that Dark Stud looks good, but I prefer people to skip the Rook, it’s really, really horrid. Even worse than the Sonata, and the unmentioned level 25 hat. The level 70’s claw name is Scarab, though the old name was Fury. I happen to like Fury a bit more. Fury’s are dropped all over the place, Green Fury is dropped by Transformed Dark Yetis, and just plain Dark Yetis, while the Dark Fury is dropped by Cerebres.
Level 80 gear owns. Seriously, but I mean it should. Level 80 is a pretty difficult feat to get to. Pirate set, it’s just amazing. The claw doesn’t match the set at all, but we’ll leave that out. I just like this gear, and that’s about all I’m going to say about it.
Finally, we’ll cover capes and earings. All together. =) For earings, I say just pick whatever looks best with your outfit, the magic defense will not help you much anyway. For capes, you can scroll one with either LUK, or DEX, whatever you prefer. The level 55, 60, and 65 capes all are pretty nice, and Napoleans are still great, too. Just scroll whatever you think looks nice.
Now yes, that was long, and only covered Males, but my friend decided to help me out with a bit of female information regardging equipment. Enjoy.

Christmas Isn’t All About Shopping
MANY are living on the wrong orientation of what Christmas is all about. It isn’t all about shopping for something new like shoes, bags and presents. It is actually the day of the year when families (and even extended families at that) get the rare chance to bond.
Quality time with the kids and other family members matters most in this time of the year, although we can’t just kick the shopping tradition, practice of gift giving (or at least sending greeting cards) and the traditional festive dining table.
For moms, who are generally considered as responsible and the principal architect of most (if not all) holidays and gathering, there are actually some tips you may want to know as to maintain precious bonding moments at the height of your tedious preparations in time for the holiday.
Family Cooking Session
There are menus on our cook books that require members of the participation of family members, especially your kids. Baking cake is one. Or better yet, ask your kids to do the baking themselves using the ready-to-bake dough or cookies. These ready to bake food stuffs are conveniently available in groceries nearest where you and your family is.
Baking cakes for kids would truly amuse or fascinate them, especially using colorful icing and toppings. Start off a kids baking party.
Watch Classic Christmas Movies
Convening your family in front of the television and DVD player to watch a classic movie tackling Christmas is another good idea. In fact, it has always been effective even if it’s not Christmas season.
For the Christmas season, watching the Home Alone (1, 2 and 3) movie series would be a hit especially for kids, but for families who have already seen these films about a young lad who got lost three times in the nick of Christmas, there would always be other classics equally entertaining. Polar Express is one. Other recommended Christmas classics are Little Women, Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Charlie Brown Christmas, among others.
While watching a holiday classic film, popcorn would be a smart food stuff to keep them busy. Don’t forget sodas too.
Donning for Photo-Ops
Assembling family members for a family photo shoot is also a clever gimmick, especially for kids, who are known to have the passion of trying on their new get-ups. It also allows them to have their own photo-ops, copies of which they could post on their social networking sites in the internet.
Night of Games and Quizzes
Moms can also try playing host to a quiz game show of sort. The game should however be related to Christmas, yuletide traditions, people, event and trivia. That way moms don’t only get to entertain her kids, she also gets to add some knowledge to them.
Allocating prizes (like candies, cookies, chocolates, cakes among others) sounds good too. However, moms should be cautious about her kids who won’t be able to get the right answer. Consolation prize is fine.
Be a role model. Moms (and in fact, all of us) should never strike out from our mind what Christmas is all about. It is the season for sharing. Sharing something to the poor doesn’t have to be expensive. What matters is the thought of it. GP

Top 3 Foot Conditions, Including Shin Pain, And How to Treat Them
When feet feel exhausted, painful, and overworked, the soreness can often turn intolerable. Running, dancing, and athletic activities can put enormous stress on our feet, and cause issues with our foot ligaments and muscles. Painful blisters, heel spurs, and shin splints can make even walking a painful undertaking. Nonetheless, there are some choice options that can help soothe painful feet and heal them when done habitually. Here are three ways to make feet recover so you can resume normal activities.
The First Weeks of Training Can Cause Blisters
Blisters are caused by the friction of tight shoes. These sores can emerge on all regions of the foot, but the back of the heel is the most affected site. Since the skin is the body’s largest organ, and responsible for being our first defense against germs, a blister ideally should not intentionally be popped. Podiatrists recommend the use of moleskin as an effective choice for protecting a blister to prevent it from popping. If a blister has already popped, it is recommended to clean the area and apply an antibacterial substance. Then, keep the site covered with a bandage.
Shin Splint Pain Can Halt Training
Some athletes and runners can experience a more serious condition involving shin splint pain. This excruciating injury is caused by overuse of the lower leg by strenuous physical activities. The precise origin of the injury is not well understood, but they seem to be caused by injury to a tendon in the leg known as the posterior peroneal tendon. Since this problem also seems to afflict people who experience over-pronation of their feet (this is the tendency of the foot to roll inward), special arch supports in the shoes, known as sports orthotics are extremely helpful.
Treatment for shin splint pain can include icing the area, staying off of it until it is healed, and participating in activities that are low impact such as using a stationary bicycle or swimming. To prevent the injury from recurring, wear sports orthotics when you participatein high-impact sports.
Treating Pain In The Heel With Sports Orthotics
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most painful heel and foot issues to suffer from. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia is stretched excessively thus becoming inflamed, torn, and irritated. A suitable means to treat these conditions early on is with sufficient foot arch support and cushioning, which can be provided by using sports orthotics. Gentle massage of the affected area as well as using ice and getting physical therapy are also helpful.
When your feet and legs experience pain, your body is telling you something important: it needs help. Sometimes, just resting from high-impact exercises for a period of time and wearing sports orthotics is enough. Nonetheless, when more serious conditions develop such as shin splint pain, a doctor should be called in order to appropriately evaluate the problem and provide proper treatment.
