5 types of belts every girl must have

Here are five belts that every girl must have in her wardrobe.

Here are five types of belts that every girl must have in her wardrobe -

Sash: 

The cloth belt, which has no belts or buckles, has to be put inside the loops and tied manually.

The braided belt: 

These are slightly thicker and are braided, generally in shades of brown.

Skinny: 

These are very thing meant only as an embellishment and not so much to hold or tighten the pants.

The big, broad belt: 

These are worn over flowy tops or one-pieces and come in big sizes.

Metallic or neon: 

Mostly good for the skinny variety of belts, metallic belts like copper, gold or silver can glam up your overall look at night. During the day, neons work best with all outfits.

What's in Shakira's bag?

Singer Shakira says she travels frequently and doesn't go easy on her bags. From vitamins to make-up, she stuffs her bag with all the essentials.

"I've had too many bag disasters to count. I'm a frequent traveller, so something's always exploding,"usmagazine.com quoted the mother of 15-month-old Milanas saying.

The 37-year-old, who is a judge on "The Voice", reveals what she carries in her Stella McCartney carryall.

- My passport is absolutely essential. I've had to add so many pages that it's now the size of a dictionary. Try getting anywhere as a Columbian without a visa!

- I take vitamins to stay healthy, but I also have a sweet tooth. I keep bad-for-you treats like Jet chocolates and Bon Bon Bum lollipops from Columbia to satisfy my sudden cravings.

 

- I do my own make-up for 'The Voice', so I keep my drugstore go-tos -- Revlon eyelash curler, L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick, Crest 3D Whitestrips -- in a small pouch. And I must have elastic bands to pull my hair back. It tends to have a life of its own!

- My iPhone 5 has music apps, like Pandora and Spotify, and I am addicted to playing Candy Crush and Ms. Pac-Man -- total guilty pleasures.

- I carry my son's books and a mini soccer ball to play with. It always reminds us of his dad.

5 tips to buy clothes that fit right

Things to do in the trial room so that you aren't left with a purchase you'll regret

1. Try out a complete look

If you try on for size a luxe blouse with a pair of washed out jeans that you pulled on for a grocery run, you won't be able to judge its real look. Instead, even if you are lusting after just a jacket, try it on with appropriate shoes and bottoms. Take the key piece you desire to the changing room along with other elements to complete the look, or ask the saleswoman to put together an outfit for you.

2. Do a wrinkle test

The wrinkle test tells you if the fabric will look good all day long. Scrunch the fabric in your hand and hold it for a few seconds. After you release the fabric, if it's wrinkle-free, you can be certain it won't wrinkle by the end of the day. Otherwise, skip buying it.

3. Read care details

Look at the care instructions to see if the garment requires special care, like dry-clean or hand-wash only, washing with cold water or drying away from sunlight. Ask yourself if you are willing to follow these instructions and factor in the cost that additional care will require. If you are willing to go the whole hog and still want to own the outfit, go ahead.

4. Look behind

It might take extra effort to get a rear view in the trial room mirror, but it's worth the extreme neck craning; even better if the dressing room has a three -way mirror. If it doesn't, one trick is to whip out your makeup compact, turn around with your back to the trial room mirror and use the compact's small mirror to see the reflection of your derriere.

5. Move around in it

It's not enough to pose in front of the mirror to get a complete idea of the fit, length and comfort. Sit, bend over and stand on tip-toe — for a heeled appearance if you're wearing flats — to observe the outfit in movement. You will come across surprising factors like buttons that dig into your tummy or a jacket that's tight on the shoulders when you try to raise your arms. Sitting down is essential when you're checking out skirts and trousers.

Time to get rid of faded, shabby clothes

 Fed up with a daily battle with your overcrowded wardrobe? It's time to clear out the wardrobe and make way for some new stylish pieces.

To sort out the problem, follow tips from Stylist Lucy Turner, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Take everything out of the wardrobe and bin anything that is damaged and tatty immediately. While the wardrobe is empty, give it a quick whiz around with the hoover!

Sort the remaining clothes into 3 piles - keep, store and sell. Be ruthless - if any cloth hasn't seen the light of day for six months then it's time to say goodbye.

The store pile should contain items that will be worn again, like out of season clothes and special occasion outfits that one does not need daily access to.

Make sure everything in the store pile is clean. Tackle any niggling jobs like missing buttons and loose hems before you pack them into storage bags. Stash them in the loft, garage, under a bed or anywhere except the wardrobe. But remember to ask yourself - 'Will I ever really wear this again? If not then sell it.

Hang clothes according to the type - trousers, dresses, jackets, so that one can immediately see what he has. Investing in slim line hangers will instantly double the hanging space.

Turn your hangers round so they all face the same direction. Whenever something is worn, hang it back facing the opposite direction. Review your wardrobe again in 6 months, anything still facing the original direction in 6 months should be stored or sold.
