Shrugs

On the may long weekend ,I was dress shopping for my girlfriend who is attending a wedding out of state. No small feat in our fair city as we have a lot of stores to choose from ,just not a lot of styles to choose from, especially for our experienced clientele . We found THE DRESS and then started to accessorize and that's when the conversation turned to SHRUGS . They are still one of the top 10 picks for the seasons best but here are some hints for the little shoulder cover- ups .......
When the dress is ruffled or has a lot of detail ,chose one that just covers the upper arms and shoulders with minimum front detail.
Longer SHRUGS that tie work well with little sun dresses or maxi dresses.
It doesn't matter what color but black is always a little dressier.
Pashmina,s are great as shoulder shrugs,wear them around your neck as a scarf for color then as the night progresses ,use around your shoulders for warmth. They especially are wonderful travel mates as they turn into blankets on airplanes.
I think you can never go wrong adding a shoulder shrug as part of your accessories. Keep it simple and have fun with it. These little BEST FRIENDS are great support for your dress up days.

Nail Art

Nails are no longer a simple accessory , they are also a bona fide art form . Nail artists are gravitating to magnetic nail lacquer: iron powder pigments that shift and creates a pattern when a magnet hovers over wet nail polish. Many nail salons offer jeweled ,glitter or precision work and all that is required is imagination and an ultra thin nail brush . For the do it your self consumers try the peel and stick nail art at any pharmacy or drug store outlet. For myself, I'll stick to seeing my nail artist Amy at Sunserra On 8Th,Saskatoon,Sask. Not only is she amazing with created images ( she can draw batman on nails )she also shapes my nails into the latest oval shape that mirrors the curve of my cuticle. My time at the salon is spent relaxing and sipping coffee , leaving the hard work and fabulous runway color drama up to the expert.SO Go AHEAD AND COLOR YOUR WORLD WITH THE LATEST SEASON,S HOTTEST NAIL COLORS AND TAKE YOUR MANICURE TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
