If you are bigger on the bottom with slender shoulders and a well defined waist, your body type is commonly referred to a being pear shaped. If you ask a woman who is shaped like a pear what her problem area is, most women will respond that it is their hips and tush.
Many women who have a flatter bottom would trade problems in an instant, but women who have a naturally endowed bottom find it more of a curse than an asset.This does not have to be the case. If you know how to dress for your body shape, it can make all the difference in the world in the way you look and more importantly how you feel about yourself.Your biggest challenge will be finding bottoms that fit both your hips and your waist.
You will more than likely be 1 to two sizes smaller on top than on the bottom, making your top look out of proportion. Your curves are great, but balance is our ultimate goal.You will need to give the illusion of a smaller bottom and a balanced top.
You will do this by keeping your darker colors below the waist and lighter brighter colors up on top. Keep an open mind, dark on the bottom does not always have to be black. Try chocolate brown, navy, or dark grey, these are all dark and will help you appear slimmer where it counts most. So let’s focus on the types of pants you should be wearing. There are several things you will need to take into consideration, the rise of your pants, the cut of your jeans, and the fit.• The Rise- This is the area from the crotch to the waist. There is ultra low rise, low-rise, mid-rise, then high waisted. You will want to find a mid rise jean. Please what ever you do stay way from high waisted jeans. Since there is more material to cover your bottom, this will make your bottom appear twice as big and this is the opposite goal of what you are trying to achieve.• The Cut- This refers to the pant leg.
The types you will have to choose from is flared leg, boot cut, straight leg, and skinny and tapered. The straight leg is the best look for you. These will give you longer looking legs. You will do okay with boot cut and flared legs, but avoid skinny and tapered jeans at all cost.
Tapered jeans are wider at the thigh and get tighter at the ankle. Your smaller ankles will make your hips appear huge in comparison.• The Fit-This refers to how your jeans “fit”. The different fits are slim fit, regular fit, easy fit, and relaxed fit. Fit is a matter of personal preference, but you will have more room with the easy fit and relaxed fitting jeans

THE INDIAN BEUTY SAREES
Every time we see an Indian woman wearing a brightly-colored saree, we can't help but be amazed by how graceful and womanly they look. We marvel at how the cloth's colors and the way the saree drapes and falls in folds about an Indian woman's body, seem to embody her femininity.
We gape and can't help but be awed at how even the slightest movements of their bodies seem to speak volumes as they move about almost sensuously despite the voluminous quality of the saree's cloth wrapped around the waist. Then, we wonder, what is exactly the mystery behind the saree?A saree or sari, as it is commonly known, is a piece of clothing traditionally worn by Indian women that is as long as nine yards in length. Aside from the cloth though, an Indian woman wears an upper garment that is made of the exact same cloth or has the same design or depicts one of the colors of the saree. This upper garment could either be cropped short baring some skin from the midriff down to the navel or longer, that which it could be tucked in to the saree's waist. From the waist down of the saree, an Indian woman wears a petticoat, to lessen the sheerness of the saree's fabric, which is mostly woven cloth or silk. The allure of the saree comes not only from the way it hints at a body's curves but also in the way it is draped on an Indian woman's body.
This draping could actually be done in several ways. The most common way is when an Indian woman winds or wraps the saree around her waist and then drapes the extra cloth over her shoulder and lets it fall down over her right breast.There are other ways or styles to drape a saree and one of this is the kaccha nivi style. An Indian woman who uses this style will have to pleat the saree cloth and pass it through her legs before tucking it into her back at the waist.
This type of draping is used by an Indian woman, who would like to have her legs covered while she moves around freely. This style is more of the traditional way of draping a saree although there is now a modern nivi style that is used by most Indian women.The modern nivi style is done by an Indian woman tucking one end of her saree into her petticoat's waistband. She wraps the fabric of the saree from her hips down just once and gathers it into pleats below her navel. She also tucks these pleats into her petticoat's waistband. This type of pleat is called as kick pleat in the West and makes movements especially walking, easier. The Indian woman then drapes the saree's loose end over her shoulder, from her right hip over to the left shoulder.
When wearing a cropped blouse, the Indian women show a peek of her midriff through this draping style. Sometimes, this type of saree draping calls for an Indian woman to just adjust the loose end to either show or hide her navel for a more sultry look.There are still other types of saree draping that an Indian woman uses. These styles differ though are based on what part of India she is from and on what traditional style of draping she is following. An Indian woman sometimes wears a saree not only as a piece of clothing but also to show where she comes from.

STYLISH ACCESSORIES
It was on this modernized world that automotive vehicles started to be proud and confident as they parade through streets. From their initial setup of just having wheels, lights, windshield, steering, mirrors, and other essential parts, cars now come with stylish accessories that decorate them to put in an extra glamor and protection as well.
Steering wheels are dressed with a leather costume to give it more grip, the seats are covered in the finest leather or cloth for a comfortable ride, the gear is topped with an easy-to-handle cover for better shifting grip, spoilers are added to the hood of the trunk to give the car more style as these project a “pop the collar” attitude, and lots more add-ons just to give cars a twist both in style and protection. Different companies and manufacturers emerged to develop on the different accessories there are in cars. One such company is the GT Styling, whose products are mostly on protective covers for essential areas in cars. GT Styling performance parts specialize in wind deflectors, headlight and taillight covers, bug guards, sunroof deflectors, and aerowings. The provide these accessories for all types of 4-wheeled vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Bug guards could really come in handy when driving along construction areas as debris can continuously distract driving.
These bug guards protect the car's hood from 'deadly' debris that could easily damage the car's exterior. With a bug guard installed, it could be easier to drive the highways without getting a lot of disturbances.
Sleek and stylish designs of taillight and headlight covers give off an aggressive aura making it look somewhat not to be messed with. Driving debris again cause headlights a little scratch here and there, and that tapping sound they make can cause driver's hearts to skip a beat, fearing the condition their headlights are in. The invention of these lights' covers goes a long way in the maintenance of the car's overall appearance. And with the variety of designs for headlights and taillights cover that GT Styling Performance Parts offer, choosing could be hard but sure to be worth your while. The more modernized cars these days are equipped with sunroof for a more exciting and thrilling ride. But with the constant wind noise and other debris the wind carries with it, leaving the sunroof open could be troublesome and the sunroof has been concluded as better of closed. Sunroof deflectors came in and reduced the noise from th impact of the wind. It also deflected dusts and other unknown particles that ride the winds. This really makes passengers sit in comfort as they ride while enjoying their sunroof open. Turn lights are very important as these give the following driver a heads up on what the preceding car's next action or where it would turn next, which is specifically helpful for convoys.
Making sure turn lights are always in its best condition should also be one of the top priorities for drivers and the best thing to maintain it is to cover it up with another useful invention, turn lights cover. GT Styling has given turn lights cover an edge over others with the many designs one can choose from and the quality of protection these give. Wind reflectors, on the other hand, are vital for keeping the wind around the car in control while driving plus the factor that it gets the wind out of your face, making driving hassle-free. Side skirts are also one of the products of GT Styling Performance Parts and its role is to keep the wind under the car in control for better airflow. This would, in turn, ensure a smoother driving experience. GT Styling Performance Parts provide protection while not getting behind the call for a more fashionable look on the car's exterior

Hell for leather
Hell for leather by Emma Sells
Papillon bag, £275 from ToastPapillon bag, £275 by Chie MiharaAvailable from Toast
Much as the attention seeker in us enjoys stepping out in acid brights and colourful prints, we have to admit that we've fallen for this season's neutral colour palette. We're already investing in biscuit coloured shorts and mushroom cropped jackets with just a hint of metallic sheen, but we have yet to purchase a bag to fit in with the look. This gorgeous Papilon bag by Chie Mihara is top of our wishlist. We love the colour of the leather, the plaited and cut out details and it's slouchy feel. It makes us long for summer so that we can rock it with a floaty dress and sandals but in the meantime we plan to team it with our high-waisted jeans and wedges. Or alternatively jet of to somewhere much more exotic than here with it by our side.
