5 Ways To Freshen Up Your Skin For Spring!

Say goodbye to dry, flaky skin and reveal a fresh and luminous complexion with these skin care tips.
It's time to take your skin out of hibernation by saying goodbye to dry and flaky and revealing a fresh and luminous complexion. Think of it as a skin care spring cleaning  to help refresh and rejuvenate your face.

1. For a firmer complexion, decrease the inflammation in your skin.
Inflammation causes skin to age faster, leads to increased acne, dehydration, and other elements that make your skin look bad. Choose products infused with calming ingredients like aloe, chamomile, avocado, tea, geranium, licorice or lavender.

2. Brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.
The best way to achieve an even complexion is with over-the-counter products that contain hydroquinone, retin A, or glycolic acid. Botanical alternatives include arbutin, which inhibits the production of melanin, as well as mushroom, soy, or licorice.

3. Create a healthy glow with tinted lotion or self tanner.
A tan can look great, and using products to achieve one is safe because it only tints the skin and doesn't do any damage to the actual living cells. Sitting in the sun is the quickest way to age your skin. UV light breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin and creates free radicals, which can lead to premature aging and skin cancer. This can be partially alleviated by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every day.

4. Treat dark circles and look refreshed.
Always be sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and avoid spicy foods and other triggers that dilate blood vessels and cause under-eye darkness. Topical eye creams can help treat dark circles, so look for ones that contain retinol and peptides, which help strengthen and stimulate collagen production – also look for products with caffeine, which constricts blood vessels.

5. Refresh skin instantly.
For an instant skin refresher, opt for products containing hyaluronic acid – which intensely hydrates skin by holding up to 1000 times its weight in natural moisture. Exfoliation is another instant radiance enhancer. It works by sloughing away dead skin cells to reveal healthy, radiant skin.

12 garments to invest

Fashion trends and timeless clothing

With the crisis is the phenomenon of fashion "under pressure". If we do a considerable amount for a garment down counting, there is a long time we have fun. Garments that meet volatile fashion should not cost much more because you know in advance that would no longer than one season will go.
Timeless fashion versus the balance which we consciously or unconsciously while shopping to make. The balance at this time in "timeless" pass. Heritage brands to hold their line and come up with classics that will last a lifetime.
The designers with the dilemma of 'trend' vs 'classic' or 'conventional' wrestling is immediately clear when the fashion collections for next seasons looks. On the one hand you have the timeless brands - is expected by the experts - always sell, how much are these brands. On the other hand you have the relatively new and trendy brands. Here are the different camps.

There are designers who believe that at this moment with an absolute 'gadget' to come, an exceptional, unique and trendy item, in order to convince the public to purchase. There are other fashion designers but, unlike their previous collections, with conventional designs that might not be timeless, but in any case easy and much to bear.

We have ourselves a sort of buy-worded directive. For a long time classics go, what are we willing to spend more. Delivered and super trendy items must in all respects (including price-wise) a "joke" being. And occasionally you may yourself with an excessive, extraordinary item and mad - an absolute 'I-should-have-it' thing - treat.

For while shopping and not to stray to our 'own' directive 'to hold, we have compiled a list of garments that we believe it is worthwhile for summer 2010 to invest:
1. The Boyfriend blazer






Already a few seasons in fashion. Nice pants with a classic but also a short dress or skirt. Easy to wear and super chic. For us a winner who - even though it is not a timeless item - definitely worth it.

2. The Little black dress






The black dress since the days of Audrey Hepburn no longer fashionable to imagine. A garment that you'll never have enough. Perfect way to wear, but in cool weather can be combined with other garments.

3. A Classic zomerbroek







A zomerbroek with a contemporary look creates a modern and 'new' feeling. Go for a model that is often easy to bear and combine. Avoid bright colors if you wear a lot of fun to have.

4. A Top with sequins





Time and again they come back into fashion. This summer you wear sequins both evening and daytime. For an elegant and festive look. Go for a tip or clothing that whole (not just the front) is covered with sequins (unless you tip under your boyfriend blazer wearing).

5. A Summer tailleur






The tailor - plus matching blazer jacket or skirt - is pretty timeless and certainly if you're handy. For a fairly classic model and wear it as much as you can. With different tops and accessories you can each time a different look of it. 

6. A Zomerjas







A summer jacket or trench coat who have to bear any outfit, is perhaps one of the best investments you can make for a Dutch summer. Again, go for muted colors and observe the fit and quality.

7. A Classic bag (an accessory but well ...)






A classic zomertas that you can combine all your outfits, is a must have. A small investment worth.


8. White blouse









With a white blouse is always good. Whether you 'm now in a skirt, shorts or jeans.


9. Sweet summer buds





Feel that itch buy, go for contemporary tops and T-shirts for your summer look with updating. Trousers or skirt from last year gets a new look. Tops and T-shirts are easy and always good. 




10. A Timeless evening dress







A floral dress for festive occasions are always a good investment. Such a dress that you always for the day (or night) you can get. One item that you can always fall back.



11. A Classic pantsuit




The pantsuit is back in this summer and this garment has one big advantage: you never have to think about how you will reconcile. You pull it and you're done.Choose the suit in a classic color and you'll have endless fun.




12. Always a good swimsuit
With a slim black swimsuit, you can miss the board.Endlessly chic & versatile.

Style Tips for business women for summer 2010

Classic and elegant are the key 
More elegant than a standard suit of which are dime a dozen, it is itself composite suit. Smooth, chic blazer with a tube skirt in (almost) the same shades. Wear a nice blouse with a chic shirt under. For a cool, reserved and business but very elegant look.
Looking at the modecatwalks for summer 2010, we see - even in the most conventional collections - often a stream of outfits that suggests that women today rarely puts a foot in a work environment. Tiny and mostly very short dresses dominate daytime, or even tiny ankle-length dresses in a glamorous version steal the show for the evening.
So we will own, with style and elegance, combining the need to save our office outfits for this summer to put together.


Golden style rules for the modern woman

  1. Classic and elegant are still the key. As a businesswoman you want professionalism, competence, reliability and responsibility radiate.Make sure you "work wardrobe" contains some real classics that you always can fall back flawlessly. 
  2. Go for muted colors. Avoid bright colors and striking color combinations. Prefer fine prints and patterns over large or garish fantasies. 
  3. Go for the perfect fit. Your "work clothes" as you cast down. You radiate perfection! 
  4. Go for quality fabrics (not shiny seams of iron!). Avoid synthetic fabrics. 
  5. Never wear tight clothing (and certainly no nipple sweaters). 
  6. Never wear clothes to bare. Avoid low-cut necklines and short skirts (in terms of professionalism and objectivity that feminine aspect in your personal life will pick up, bid). 
  7. Make sure you look well cared for. For your clothing, this means no stains, no wrinkled clothes, no ladders in your tights stockings, no missing buttons or unwashed clothes. 
  8. Wear little jewelry.Everything bling says, detracts from your professionalism. 
  9. Go for shoes or classic - but that is all sensitive - boots. Avoid bare shoes, high shoes, or striking details (too many straps and studs). 
  10. Give your business clothing own personal interpretation. This could be a suit with a nice leather strap to finish, or by striking a nice blouse to wear under.
The loose summer pants are easily combined with blazers and jackets and give you something contemporary and modern look.








A dark blue (jacket) with a classic cut dress is perfect for warmer days when you just do not have to think a blazer. Create the look with accessories like a classic narrow ceintuurtje and some high heels or Mary Janes.







The classic pearl gray pantsuit is ideal for any meeting. It's always good to have a ready-made business outfit for grabs to have.








And covered with dark colors is always at work. They provide a slimmer silhouette and longer and therefore a powerful presence. You choose these colors, then the best design is sportier and more modern (or go for closed shoes).







The navy look with his blue-and-white stripes is perfect for summer days at the office. Go to prefer the more sophisticated stripes.








Chalk stripes remain the pinnacle of objectivity. Male influences throughout this summer in the fashion show, are good for business but a business-inspired look.








A classic coat is a must for any business woman who often must trail. Ideally, try a longer jacket that you can wear on each outfit.








A chic suit still remains perfect for conferences, meetings and other official occasions.









Light, muted colors like the new 'neutral' on summer days doing good. A nice pair of trousers and a high-necked blouse are suitable for the office.
