Finding the perfect bra depends on what you’ll be wearing and where you’re going. Tamara Glick, founder of Trademark Image Consulting, says you can avoid any embarrassing bra mishaps by keeping a well-stocked bra wardrobe.
Here are Tamara’s suggested bra essentials:
Three to four regular day bras: These are bras that are seamless and very plain. You should have one or two seamless bras in black and two in a flesh tone that matches your particular colouring. This can range from a blush colour if you’re very pale to a cocoa colour if you’ve got a really rich skin tone. They would be suitable under any regular t-shirt, blouse or even a sweater and provide no lines that would be detected outside of your clothing. A slightly moulded cup will ensure you won’t be a walking temperate gauge when you enter a room!
A push-up bra: Like a sexy pair of jeans, every woman needs at least one push-up bra. Opting for one with a lower front will come in handy when wearing a top with a lower décolleté. Plus, who doesn’t like a little added lift now and then?
At least one athletic bra or sports bra: Depending on how often you’re active, you may need an entire wardrobe worth of sports bras that provide enough support while you’re sweating at the gym.
A strapless or convertible bra: Most strapless bras nowadays are convertible; they come with detachable straps and those allow you to create a halter neck, one shoulder or criss-cross back. It also gives you the opportunity to feel secure in having straps that match whatever neck line you are wearing.
A long line bra: This style of bra is one that most people today don’t give much credit to but they can be really handy in creating a very smooth look under a dress or a tight-fitting top.
A sexy bra: No explanation needed for having a bra that is strictly for fun!

Q- Obama wears his suit without a tie. Can I?
A- You too can pull off this look as long as you look put together. To ensure that people know this look was intentional your collar needs to be more stiff and more formal, with the ability to stand up on its own without the support of a tie. Your suit also needs to fit perfectly.
Q- Do belts and shoes have to match?
A- It’s actually preferable not to have your shoes and belt match perfectly, but you do want to stay within the same ballpark so that they compliment one another e.g., chestnut and chocolate are usually close enough, but dark, reddish brown and light tan are not.
Q- I spill liquor a lot. What are the best fabrics to wear?
A- Try machine-washable clothing (e.g., cotton) and robust weaves like denim, and not dancing with a glass full of red wine.
Q- When do you keep on or take off a hat?
A- The rules of hats are arguable, but their is one rule that remains true and that is to take your hat off whenever in public spaces, like the elevators in department stores.
Q- Are notch lapels okay?
A- 1) George Clooney often wears a notch lapel, so it must be all right, and 2) waiters often wear a notch lapel, so it ain’t all right. Somewhere in between the two is the official line that a peak lapel is a sounder, classier bet

You’re suppose to act your age, but you don’t have to look your age!
Here are some tricks to looking younger than you actually are- giving you an excuse to acting immature.
1- File nails the right way
To keep age-weakened nails from breaking, file them in one direction using a soft emery board. Sawing back and forth weakens nails and causes them to split.
2- Avoid polish with preservatives
Use a polish base that’s labeled formaldehyde free; the preservative can dehydrate and weaken nails that have thinned with age.
3- Draw the line
To diminish the appearance of droopy lids, add definition with eyeliner. For slick-free application with staying power, use powder and a flat, angled brush rather than a pencil. For a natural look, draw a series of three dots on the outer, center, and inner areas of your upper lids as close to your lash line as possible. Then connect them.
4- Cover under-eye circles correctly
To look fresh and well-rested, you have to counteract the shadows cast by your eyes. So instead of just dabbing concealer on dark circles, pat on a yellow-based cover-up one shade lighter than your foundation as close to the lash line as possible. Blend right up to the eye socket and on the sides of your nose. –Bobbi Brown
5- Preserve moisture
Apply moisturizer before your base to keep foundation from looking cakey on age-dried skin. Avoid oil-free makeup with matte finishes.
6- Create fuller cheeks
Because of gradual collagen loss, women’s cheeks become more concave with age. To create the illusion of fullness, sweep blush on the apple of your cheek rather than contouring your cheeks, and don’t apply dark blush in cheek hollows. –Bobbi Brown
7- Erase veins
Get rid of spider veins with a simple “lunchtime” dermatologic procedure called sclerotherapy, during which a solution that causes the vein to collapse is injected via a very fine needle. After several monthly treatments, about 80% of vessels can be cleared.
