It can be a little intimidating wearing an all white outfit because there is a fear that the monochromatic look will seem boring and flat. However, there are ways to glam up your all white outfit. you can try using different textures or add colorful or metallic jewellery and accessories. 

One of the easiest ways however to break up an all white outfit and add a lot of interest, is to show off a little skin or a lot if you are daring enough. Cropped tops are hot right now if you have the body to pull it off. If you don't you can wear an outfit with a sheer midsection or show off the skin in the areas where you feel comfortable.

That Versatile Closet Item

No matter what you have to do or where you have to go during the day, or in the evening, you need that one special item that seems to go with everything. That item is a trendy versatile jacket, preferably in a neutral tone. This one item will bring balance to whatever you are wearing at any time for almost any occasion. 

You can leave it open with a nice pair of jeans, shorts, or skater dress with your sneakers for a nice casual look if you are going shopping or on an errand. You don't need to match your footwear or bag with it either, since you are wearing it open, you can always match your accessories with your blouse or shirt to complete the look. 

 

For that casual yet chic evening look, you can combine the jacket with a nice pair of pants and blouse and sexy pair of heels. Leaving the jacket open will give it that casual look, while your choice of heels, accessories and blouse will give that chic evening look. 

You can even use the jacket in a more formal business type setting. By closing the jacket and wearing it with a high waist pencil skirt and heels. You would definitely not look out of place in a business meeting. 

So for your next shopping purchase, make sure one of these jackets is a part of your list.

Shooting Hoax at Lil Wayne's Mansion

A large detachment of Miami Beach police plus SWAT were deployed to Lil Wayne's La Gorce Mansion yesterday after a call of shots being fired there. The caller reported that he shot at least 4 people at the mansion but was no longer on the premises.

Lil Wayne was not at the mansion at the time, and members of his entourage turned up at the scene to talk with police. Only about a week before, police had to respond to reports that someone was lurking on the premises. The lurker claimed to be a friend of Lil Wayne's with permission to be there. The police however ushered him away from the premises.

The SWAT team swept the premises and gave it the all clear, a representative of the Miami Beach police indicated that this hoax was no laughing matter.

Wearing Black and White Stripes

Of  course you know from my previous post that black and white is in for this spring. But that black and white is not just about black skirts and white tops. It also extends to black and white patterns, and one of the hottest patterns right now is black and white stripes.

It is a commonly held belief that wearing clothes with horizontal stripes will make you look fatter. But Hermann von Helmholtz however proved that this is not true but quite the opposite. Horizontal stripes in fact make you look slimmer and taller

Don't be afraid to mix it up and go along with diagonal stripes as well. To add some real intrigue you can mix the stripes as well. You can use diagonal with horizontal stripes or large stripes with thin stripes.
