Fridays at the office are considered business casual day. What does that exactly mean? Business is business and casual is casual so how do you combined the two styles? Friday is a dress down day so you know that business casual does not mean a suit but it does mean that you have look nice and neat but can be a little bit casual at the same time.

Let’s examine what Business Casual isn’t. Save the following items for your weekend or athome wardrobe zipfront hooded sweatshirts, team jackets, jean jackets, Tshirts with slogans, midriffbaring tops, tank tops, wellworn jeans, spandex pants, stirrup pants, overalls, biking shorts, sweat pants, mini skirts, seethrough tops, halter tops, flipflops, sneakers and sandals. Never forget that the first word in business casual is “business” and casual does not mean a day at the beach.

Business casual must always include highquality pieces, hose or socks, appropriate underwear, footwear in good repair, coordinated accessories, clean, styled hair and makeup for women. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the type of footwear is considered business casual to finish off your outfit.

Slingbacks, women’s shoes with a cutout heel and a strap spanning the back of the ankle, defy simple categorization as they once did. Years ago, slingbacks were appropriate only during the summer months, and they were considered a casual shoe. Certainly, no selfrespecting woman south of the MasonDixon Line would be caught dead in a slingback before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. Now, with a growing selection of women’s slingbacks, you can find a pair for every season and every occasionfrom stayathome clothes to wedding attire. What determines the slingback’s suitability is the design of the shoe, the material, the embellishments, and whether it contributes to the overall desired look with the outfit?

You need to look at the entire spectrum of occasions, and offer suggestions for pairing slingbacks with outfits for each occasion. If you feel the shoes complement your outfit and you feel comfortable wearing them, let your personal sense of style guide you. People judge others by first impressions, and watches, handbags and shoes play an important role in first impressions. Cut corners elsewhere, but never with your shoes. Regardless of the style you wear, ensure that your shoe are in A1 condition, with perfect sol. Casual shoes should be kept in the same tiptop, shinedup and scufffree shape as their dressier counterparts. Do not wear 4 inch heels with a pair of dress pants and sweater. Those types of shoes look better with a dress suit or pant suit.

For men business casual shoes should definitely not include tennis shoes. There is nothing tackier than a man in dress pants with a pair of tennis shoes on. Styles range from penny loafers to laceups, leaving lots for comfort and budget preferences. Make sure that the heels and the fabric is clean, the leather polished, or the suede brushed. Wearing these types of shoes to finish off your business casual look will make you GQ all the way.

The old saying, “People take on the character of the costume,” isn’t a myth. It’s because of this truth there should be more business than casual in a company’s “business casual.” If the male and female definitions seem too rigid, then complain to the person where the buck stops. Company owners tend to complain about the business casual attitudes that accompany casual day because they’ve watched them evolve over time. That is why it’s important to sustain the level of business consciousness dictated by the respective company.

On the other hand, companies that demand a high stress, quickpaced level of productivity from their staff regularly may find benefits of invoking a more casual attitude once a week. Perhaps in such a case, it would allow employees to begin their weekend feeling more relaxed and come back on Monday feeling more mentally prepared for the new work week.

Whether you are in business causal or not you need to always remember that you are still doing business no matter what kind of clothes you have on. You need not be ashamed if you run into your CEO or a client visiting the office. Be comfortable but keep in the back of your mind you are still at work. Your business casual shoes can be loafers or tie up shoes, heels or flats as long as they are clean and look nice and neat. Be comfortable yet still professional. That is business casual.

If you love thrift stores and garage sales, this is the column for you. Theres gold in them thar hillssewing gold! Change your perspective a little and look at the world as one big fabric store and youll find all kinds of treasures to add to your stash.

Have a closet full of old bridesmaid or prom dresses? Use them to make a quilt or a patchwork pillow. Give the bride a memento from her wedding by printing her wedding details on a piece of printable fabric. Then, use fabrics, trims, and even petticoat tulle from the bridesmaid dresses (or even the brides dress if you have scraps from alterations) to artfully dress a pillow she can keep always. Give your daughter a memento of her highschool dances with a quilt made with fabric from her dresses. Create an appliqu of a dress to put in each square using the fabric from her gowns.

Handkerchiefs, gloves, scarves, bandanas, lace linens. When I was a child, we had to have a new embroidered handkerchief and a pair of white gloves every Easter. Sew these mementos into projects to create an artistic memoir. Trims can often be pricey when new, so take them off of old garments or lingerie and reuse them. Make a dress from a vintage pillow case or from a bandana.

Used Clothing Thrift Items. Find tablecloths with embroidery or lace to transformmany vintage linens were made with handmade lace. Use old straw hats as forms to create fancy dressup bonnets. Use old jeans to make trendy handbags. Find old craft or knitting kits and use the threads and yarns to create decorative trims for your projects. Remove the back and insides of an old stuffed fabric doll or toy, and use the front or profile for a cute appliqu on jeans. Silk or lace from wedding gowns can be removed and used for other sewing projects, and the tulle from underskirts can be remade into pettiskirts. Take a blouse from your closet that you havent worn (but cant bear to give away) and use it to create a camisole or a fabric belt.

Robes Terrycloth. Cut worn parts from old robes or towels and sew them together to make a fun shower curtain (use with a liner). Vintage chenille is fun to use for stuffed toys.

Buttons, Beads Jewelry. If you have an old jacket with great buttons, consider taking the buttons off to reuse them. Find beaded sweaters or jackets, old jewelryeven shoes and disassemble to reclaim the beads and findings. Remove belts from cool belt buckles and attach a new fabric belt. Reuse hardware from old purses to make new ones. Frequently, hardware is expensive to buy new but remains undamaged on used pieces.

Scraps. Be sure to use those scraps of fabric for small projects like appliqu, scrapbooking, patchwork, hair clips, stuffed toys, and embellishments.

When you start looking at perfume, one of the first things youll notice is the array of terms used to denote the different kinds of perfumes and fragrances on the market. Some common terms youll see are perfume, cologne, eau de parfum, and eau de toilette. These terms are frequently confused with each other, and when buying perfumes, it helps to know what they are.

Perfume

Perfume is the broadest of the categories. The word refers to both body scents generally, and a particular type of scent, specifically. In its general aspect, perfume includes all of the other terms, but not scented body lotions or creams.

As a specific term, perfume refers to the strongest, and longest lasting, type of body scent. Most perfumes are layered scents, meaning they contain a combination of different fragrances. These layers of scent are called notes in the French perfume industry, and they are not chosen at random.

Typical perfumes have three notes. The first, comprised of the strongest scents, is also the shortest lasting. These are the scents that youll smell when you first put on the perfume, but they will usually wear off within a few hours, exposing the next layer

The second layer, or middle note, is made of less volatile scents that will usually last until midday or early afternoon. By evening, the third and final layer is all that remains of the perfume. This is usually the most subtle scent even though it is longer lasting, the strength of it will decrease through the day.

As a result of this layering, the best perfumes will slowly change their scent through the day. Good parfumiers have perfected the science of blending scents, so that the layers compliment each other, and the change in scent, while recognizable, is both subtle and pleasing.

Colognes

The next category of perfumes is cologne. I used to think that cologne was simple a word for mens perfume, but thats not actually the case. Cologne is a perfume, but one with only a single scent to it. Because of this, colognes are both stronger and shorter lasting than perfumes. The reasons for this apparent paradox are related.

Colognes, having only a single scent, will dissipate faster than perfumes. To balance that, they are prepared with a stronger scent, to last as long as possible. This gives colognes much less subtlety than perfumes, and makes it easy to overdo it when using them.

And back to my original misconception about cologne while it is true that colognes are not exclusively for men, and that many fine womens colognes are on the market, most mens fragrances out there are colognes rather than perfumes. And even the mens perfumes are frequently marketed under the term cologne. Perhaps perfume doesnt sound masculine enough.

Eau de

The last two categories of liquid based perfume scents are eau de parfum and eau de toilette. Eau is French for water, and toilette is French for the act of getting oneself dressed and prepared eau de parfum and eau de toilette are, respectively, perfumed water and makeup water. Of the two, eau de parfum is the more popular.

Eau de parfum is a less expensive form of perfume, based on single scents, but less overpowering than cologne. This is the perfume that ladies like to daub on their wrists or necks, using the glass jar stopper. This sort of perfume might not last through a full day, but it will definitely last through a full date.

Eau de toilette is similar to eau de parfum, but not as strong, and even less expensive. Typically, these scents only last a few hours, but because they are relatively cheap, and sold in small bottles that are easily carried in a purse or handbag, its easy to refresh the scent during the day. Eau de toilette is usually not a strong fragrance.

Lotions and Creams

Finally, most body lotions and creams are scented, but these are not strictly perfumes. They typically contain scented oils in about the same concentration as eau de toilette enough to detect, but not enough to overpower, and probably not enough to last more than a few hours. Such lotions are not intended as skin treatments, and not as perfumes. If youre looking for body scents, its more cost effective to buy a good eau de toilette or eau de parfum than a scented lotion.

A vintage designer bag is right for you if you want a genuine Versace, Gucci or Hermes bag. Selecting your vintage bag can be exciting in its own right.

Leather is a very durable material and needs to be cared for. To care and protect your leather handbags, backpacks, wallets, fanny packs, etc., you should use good quality water and stain repellant to help prevent stains and dirt build up. For best results

Apply protecting products just after purchasing and three to four times a year thereafter as needed.
Keep your leather moist with a high quality leather lotion.
Do not use any cleaning products on any leather that is not made specifically for leather.
If your handbag or other leather product is suede, use a cleaner that is made for suede.

Some cleaners that are made for leather may not be for use on suede. A good rule to go by is to always follow the manufactures directions and always test any protection and cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

When wearing or carrying leather, do not spray perfumes, hair spray, body sprays, or any other harmful products near your leather product, it will damage it and stain it from the harsh ingredients. Your leather product may be cleaned by simply wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use soap or any chemical products. If there are stains that are too tough to get out, consult a professional leather cleaner.

How you store your leather is very important. Leather must be stored in a breathable container such as a cotton bag or wrapped in a cotton fabric. Do not store your leather in plastic. This may cause your leather to dry out. Store in a wellventilated, cool, dry place and keep away for excessive heat or dampness such as attics and basements. This may cause your leather to crack from the heat or to mold from the dampness. By using some of the methods mentioned above may keep your leather looking great for many years to come.

The Brighton handbag was added to the Brighton line of stylish accessories in 1993. Each Brighton handbag goes through 20 steps during its creation. Upon completion of the process a leather patch, embossed with Brighton’s statement of quality and an individual serial number is added.

Brighton handbags are handcrafted in California. At no time are there more than ten being made at a time.

The Brighton name has become to mean oneofakind jewelry and fine Italian leather articles that are adorned with exquisite silverplated ornamentation. Brighton’s heart logo fits the company philosophy that the difference in products is a true attention to detail. Most of the items in the Brighton collection have some unique detail, a message engraved on a bracelet or a Brighton handbag with a favorite photograph, that gives them special meaning to the owner. This then leaves a lasting memory to cherish for a lifetime. This has also led to many women having their own Brighton collection.

Brighton handbags are available in nearly 6,000 specialty stores nationwide and 50 allBrighton stores from coast to coast. Brighton handbags are not sold in department stores or on the Internet.

Experts tell us we are what we eat. A disturbing thought when we consider how much sugar, fat and white flour is consumed daily, hidden in ready meals and fast foods. Its time to change the bad habits we have developed over the last three decades and start eating to improve health, not destroy it!

A vital area of life that requires our attention is this.learning to answer hunger pains appropriately. If we neglect this, weight can increase and wellbeing may suffer.

Whether you need to lose weight, maintain weight or tone up your body inappropriate eating habits can jeopardize your best efforts. This articles will help you start to understand how to manage hunger in a busy lifestyle.

If its sticky and sweet, made with sugar and saturated fat, then you must only eat it as a rare treat. Can the same be said for a delicious bowl of strawberries, or a juicy sweet orange? That is the problem here? Why do we choose cakes and chocolate over natures best offering?

If you do not have a genuine glucose imbalance, one cause perhaps is that sweet treats are deeply connected to our childhood, where frequently, sweeteners were given as a reward for good behaviour, or to placate or console the unhappy child. Our memory will automatically associate sweet foods as a reward or a comfort. That bar of chocolate or sticky bun you devour midway through a stressful afternoon could be you rewarding yourself for hard work!

If you think you may be using sweet treats as a reward or comfort and want to kick the habit, simply remember that putting on weight is NOT a reward. Then think of a reward that doesnt involve food!

Guard yourself from the sweet snack attacks by being prepared and planning your day’s food patterns.

b1. Incorporate protein in to your breakfast AND lunch. bProtein is key to controlling carbohydrate cravings. The RDA of protein for women is 60 grams a day. For women wanting to lose weight, health professionals recommend approximately 100 grams of protein daily. Why? One of the principle advantages of protein is that it creates a feeling of fullness and satisfaction in the body that makes overeating much less likely. Source your protein from ultra lean sources so you don’t pick up unwanted calories and saturated fats.

Even better, than providing a sense of sustained fullness, protein can block the triggering effect that carbohydrates can have on the brain. If you eat protein with a carbohydrate it will reduce the cravings caused by eating the carbohydrate.

b2. Never skip meals. bResearch has shown that people who skip meals are more prone to obesity than those who regularly eat 3 meals a day. In fact, people who space their daily food requirements by making appropriate use of healthy snacks do even better. Why is this? When you skip meals you are more likely to get hungry and fill up on easily obtained fast foods which are often trigger foods.

b3. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water throughout the day.b For some people sugar laden soft drinks are a trigger food. Make sure you don’t get thirsty in the first place. Water creates a sense of fullness and has a host of other health benefits.

b4. Plan the timing of your meals so that you don’t get hungry. bDespite having three healthy meals a day, sometimes your work schedule can mean the spacing of those meals still does not guard against the carbohydrate cravings. If you have a long gap between meals, make sure you carry healthy snacks to cover the distance, otherwise hunger will set in

b5. Plan your snacks. bPlan out your weekly snack schedule with some delicious, healthy snacks. Purchase these with your weekly shopping so that you are fully prepared. If you need to, get up a few minutes earlier in the morning so you have time to prepare and take your snacks to work. Remember, healthy snacks don’t live in a vending machine! You are less likely to get hungry when you have a ready supply of healthy snacks.

b6. Carry emergency supplies of nutritional protein bars in your handbag or brief case.b When you feel a carbohydrate craving, eat the protein bar instead and wait 30 minutes before acting on the craving. More often than not the craving will pass and you will be in control again. This truly works.
