More fashion trends for spring 2006

In addition to my recent post about Spring fashion musts, I'm handing out new and improved spring trends, which you can't ignore (it's going to be everywhere, so why don't you get a head start?)








Geisha look and everything oriental is in. So much in, that you have to get at least one kimono dress or shirt (but please pass on those silly samurai pants, no one looks good in those, except for bulimia prone models with no curves but with legs a meter and a half long). Try Bebe for a dress and Topshop for a nice top – all kimono style.














Don't forget to buy at least one white shirt for spring too. You can go for a shirtdress or a plain normal shirt, but trust me, you'll need one.









Go bold. And while you're picking a spring dress in a wild African bold print, remember, you can also do scarves in bold, which is a nice touch if you have a bit of spare meat on your bones (be careful with this trend, bold prints can make you seem bigger than you really are – but than again, who cares)









Lace and white are your spring best friends. The delicate fabrics and needlework make you look much more feminine. One of the nicest outfits I saw covering this style is Luisa Beccaria skirt and blouse.

















Put a suit on, but try to make it a more relaxed one, in an unexpected color. Leave the shoulder pads at home.

Get rid of cellulite

…with aromatherapy

It seems to me that no matter how much I write about accepting our bodies and being happy with our curves, women tend to do stupidest things to get rid of weight. They can follow one silly fad diet after another, but they won't do the simple eat-less-and-workout-more reasonable plan.

If not dieting their guts out, girls will buy any cosmetic product that promises to relive their fatty tissue away magically.

To put a stop to this, I've found a nice aromatherapy recipe for getting rid of cellulite. It won't work overnight, but it will make your skin sooo much softer and those bumps on your thighs less visible and smaller. Plus, you can make it yourself for a small amount of money, being sure what's in it, as opposed to those well-marketed brands, whose main ingredients are usually moisturizer and water.

The first thing you need is 100 mL of hazelnut oil in which you should add up to: 100 drops of cedarwood oil (cedrus deodora), 15 drops of juniper berry oil (Juniperus communis), 40 drops of cypress oil (Cupressus sempervirens), 40 drops of rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis), 20 drops of eucalyptus lemon oil (Eukalyptus citriodora), 20 drops of sage oil (Salvia officinalis) and up to 20 drops of lemon oil (Citrus limon).

Once you make the anti-cellulite oil, you should keep it in a small clean bottle with a tight cap on. (Admit it, you enjoyed being a witch for a while!)

You can smear the oil twice a day onto your troubled areas (say…your butt and thighs) if you have much cellulite, or only once if your cellulite is not so bad. The best thing to do is to smear it on, wait for 10 minutes and than lay down in a nice warm bath (no soap bubbles) for another 10 to 15 minutes. You'll se the results in two to three weeks.
