Filed under: fashion shoes — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 8:07 am

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.

Is a Seasonal Business Right For You?

Filed under: paul smith uk — Tags: , , — admin @ 4:15 pm

What do Christmas trees and campgrounds have in common? They are both products of a seasonal business! And while they share a common trait of generating revenue during a specific time during the year, they differ in that the Christmas tree lots can be closed after Christmas while the campground has operating costs throughout the year. If you’re thinking of running a seasonal business to take advantage of short term revenue opportunities, make sure it’s more the ‘Christmas tree’ kind of business.

Seasonal businesses have been around for years and encompass all sorts of immediately recognizable ventures from pumpkin stands and fire works stands to ski resorts. Each has a particular reason for being and a defined time of year to generate sales. With the exception of the ski resort, which has to be maintained year round, many seasonal businesses take advantage of limited time opportunities and have little long term obligations once the season is over.

If you’re the entrepreneurial ‘purist’ and like to make money without being tied to ongoing established operations, finding a seasonal business maybe a good direction for you.

Seasonal businesses have their challenges which include having enough cash, advanced planning and getting through the maize of municipal approvals and paperwork. So, if you have the design to try a seasonal business, make innovation the cornerstone of your business plan. As a small business advisor, I can’t emphasize enough the need to thoroughly work through the business idea to insure it’s viable.

Most seasonal business opportunities rely on some holiday period, major event or recreational activity to create demand. Many major seasonal event hosts don’t have the bandwidth to provide a product or service for every ancillary sales opportunity. As long as the product or service is legitimate and adds value to the event in question, you stand a good chance of getting support.

Seasonal businesses also provide a great way to test drive your business building skills or a small business marketing strategy without incurring long term commitments should the venture not be a good idea. If you think the idea through, plan well in advance and create a system that will optimize the day to day running, you will insure the greatest degree of success.

If you have a small business success story, tune into blogtalkradio this Friday where Cash Miller from SmallBusinessDelivered.com and Steve Smith, Orange County Business Coach for OneCoach will discuss what it takes to be successful running a seasonal business.

Mod Fashion Tips: Selecting Clothing That’s Right For Your Hourglass Figure

Filed under: fashion shoes — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 8:07 am

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.
