Pradas Sack Dress

Raw Glamour   When the history of fashion is written from the perspective of the upper classes, the cultural heritage of rural America is ignored. Garments made from the material of flour sacks were a common article of clothing from the 19 th  through the mid-20 th  century. Most of us wouldn’t think of a sack as something fashionable. The Parisian public certainly didn’t, in 1957 when Balenciaga’s new silhouette was the sack dress. The dress with its shapeless form turned away from the hourglass look that was popular at the time.

Blonde On Blonde This season blonde hair color from platinum blonde to shaded blonde highlights, are making a statement. One of the favorite shades is champagne blonde, which is a beige-blonde. It’s soft, ultra-luxe, and works great on most skin tone. Beige blonde is an old fashioned blonde that is making a comeback.  It looks best with lighter bits around the hairline giving it the look of champagne. Apricot blonde is an updated version of the classic strawberry blonde shade. It’s a mix of golden blonde and copper to give it a bit more edge. Just a drop of copper red will give the gold a shimmering highlight.   Too much and it could look brassy. Honey and caramel highlights have golden and warm hair tones for autumn with depth at the base color. Honey blonde looks best shaded into highlights on light brown hair. Whatever your color choice keep it from fading with Judaysia VS Volumizing Shampoo. Formulated with goldenseal to keep your color healthy and rich looking.

The shade is woven into beauty history. Red lipstick has been synonymous with sex appeal, a call to Hollywood glamour. Research suggests that red lipstick makes women more likely to be approached by men and earns waitresses higher tips from male patrons. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate and empower individuals reaffirming its status as an emblem of rebellion and strength. From New York to Milan for Fall 2025 it’s all about the red lip. Which suggests that you can have an invisible base yet still look elegant and “done” simply by adding a potent slash of red lipstick. I certainly am a subscriber of this notion. I will never be seen without my red lips. Kissable lips and how to get them. Start with a lip liner. This not only redefines the contours of the mouth, giving it the desired shape, but ...
