The Best Fashion Pieces for the Fall of 2013

Before you shop for those key fall 2013 pieces to add to your wardrobe, take a peek at your closet first. Is it full of great choices or a showcase of the bad decisions you've made in the past? According to NBC Miami, women will purchase nearly $125,000 worth of clothing over their lifetime. Yet approximately 60 percent of women surveyed still complain that they can't find anything to wear.

Fashion for Fall 2013
One of the main problems is that what is hot one year is definitely not the next. Trying to buy too many trendy items will leave you with a bulging closet that may be out of fashion in a few years. That is why it is so important to shop judiciously each year. Don't try to hit every trend that is popular for the fall of 2013. Instead, choose one or two of the popular trends that you like and will flatter your figure and then purchase a few pieces of these styles to accent the staples you already own.

Going Green
When you hit the stores, don't be surprised if you see a lot of green this fall. It was one of the most popular hues on the runway for many designers. Calvin Klein, for example, showcased an earthy forest green in his fall collection, while other designers chose to spotlight stunning emerald green pieces on their fashion runways, as Glamour points out. Fortunately, it doesn't take a lot of green to freshen up your wardrobe -- which means you can keep more green in your wallet. For example, you can add a punch of green to your wardrobe with one stunning green skirt or even just a simple green beret.

Black Booties
While tall riding boots are still riding the crest of popularity (especially when paired with leggings and skinny jeans), a new challenger is making a bid for footwear supremacy. According to Elle, the little black bootie is the new must-have for your feet.
Black booties are very versatile. For example, Elle suggests donning them with a mini skirt, much as you would a pair of black pumps. These little booties also look equally fabulous with your standard black trousers or even paired with cuffed dark wash jeans.

The Allure of Lingerie
Don't ever underestimate the importance of adding a few new undergarment pieces to your fall wardrobe. These pieces are the first thing against your skin and, according to the Los Angeles Times, the right ones can actually bolster your confidence. Purchasing a few bras each season, for example, will give you that added lift that your old ones may have lost. For example, a new pair of provocative sexy panties, even when worn under a plain suit, can make you feel like an undercover temptress with a secret.

Invest in Statement Outerwear
If you are an outerwear junkie, then this is your year. You'll find a lot of statement pieces from designers this year, including gorgeous leather creations and oversized coats that seem to be screaming for attention. Pale pink jackets and coats, which were seen frequently on the runway, are expected to be especially popular for the fall of 2013, according to Elle. Looking to cross off two of fall 2013's big trends with one piece? Marie Claire suggests choosing a coat in a beautiful and classic herringbone pattern.

    Hi Aparna,

    I love this post! Yes, its true. What is hot one year is definitely not the next. Therefore we don't need to buy too many trend items.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women.
