Human eye is the most sensitive organ of the body. Eyes need special care because they are prone to infections very easily. Vision associated problems are becoming a norm in young boys and girls these days, mainly attributed to bad vision care, reading too much with inadequate light or watching too much television and playing video games while sitting very close to the screen for too long.

Most of our youth are shy of wearing eye glasses because of potential changes to their looks. Young boys and girls want to standout of the rest, look dashing, smart and attractive and that is chiefly the reason they prefer not to wear eye glasses. Above all, there is a common perception that only Geeks wear eye glasses because they read too much.

Well if you think that by wearing eye glasses you will not look smart then it is your false perception. You can remain stylish and cool while wearing eye glasses if you know what type of eye glasses to wear and making a careful selection of the product matching your personality. Eyes are a very sensitive organ that’s why it needs special care; therefore, many companies are making fine quality and stylish eye glasses. These glasses give you decent look and you look smart as well.

There are different styles of frames available of eye glasses; some are round, some square, some oval and some rectangle. These different shapes are made to suite the face cut of person wearing glasses. The most famous color of frame for men is black and for women is pink or red. A white frame looks equally good for both genders.

Now if you have found out that your eyesight is weak and you have to wear eye glasses then choose the frame very smartly according to your face cut. People with an oval shaped face can wear almost any type of eye glasses frames, so consider yourself lucky if you have an oval face. People who have round faces should look for more angular frames with straight lines. People with square faces should go for slightly rounded frames that have more width than height to balance the squareness of your face. People with triangular shaped faces require a light touch so heavy frames should be avoided.

Fashion trends come and go, so do eyeglasses styles. But there are some glasses styles that never go out of date. Cat eye glasses are one of those fashion glasses that appeal to generations of fashionistas. For summer 2011, cat eye sunglasses will still definitely be top choices of wearers.

Cat eye glasses were mainly popular in the 1950s and 1960s among fashionable women. In the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Andrey Hepburn wore a pair of cat-eye glasses, which contributed to great fame in cat eye glasses. Along with aviator eyeglasses, cat eye glasses are universally popular when it comes to fashion glasses. Notable celebrities who wear cat-eye glasses include Marilyn Monroe, Buddy Holly and Lady Gaga.

Cat-eye glasses have enjoyed a great reputation among female celebrities, and have become their essential fashion accessories. The summer of 2010 has witnessed various female celebrities in Hollywood sporting the cat eye look.

Although cat eye glasses were dominant in the 50’s and early 60’s, such style is not démodé. Tom Ford Spring Summer collection 2011 is a great interpretation of cat eye glasses as a style of fashion glasses. Since fashion is not ready to let go of oversized sunglasses, Tom Ford gives a perfect combination of cat eye look and oversized shape. What is more, he adds some fabulous silhouettes and colors, which gives a strong retro look.

Thus, cat eye glasses still gain much popularity for their distinctive charm. Cat eye sunglasses, in fact, are a perfect combination of two styles into the frame. Wayfarer style is the basic template for a pair of cat eye sunglasses. The obvious difference is that cat eye sunglasses get rounded frame on the bottom half while the bottom part of wayfarer frame is angular.

Cat eye glasses are undoubtedly typical of fashion glasses. For summer 2011, let’s witness the charm of cat eye glasses.

Our Child is our Beauty

BEAUTY
Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal place, object or idea that provides a preceptial experience of pleasure, meaning or staisfaction.Beauty is studied as part of aesthlies sociology and social psychology and culture.
Beauty is the eye of beholder

In this most profound sense, beauty may engender a solient experiene of positure reflection about the meaning of one owns existence.A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning.

Our child is also our beauty.our bloodrelations are most important for us.I tell u a story of parents which lost thier beautiful daughter.2nd january my husband opend the website of imanae malik.co.uk.I see her in picture and says my husband wow nice baby.Then my husband told me she died in Doctor Hospital. I worried and i cant control my tears.I searched and then decide i also sport them.

On November 29, 2009 at 3 am in the morning my 3 year old daughter, Imanae, spilt hot water on her wrist. My wife and I immediately took her to Doctors Hospital and Medical Center in Johar Town, Lahore. Although it was a very small burn, we chose to go to the hospital as our baby was in a lot of pain and we wanted her hurt to go away as quickly as possible.

At the hospital we were met by the emergency ward staff, who applied an ointment on her hand and gave her an injection to soothe the pain. When Imanae continued to cry because of the pain, the nurse called the doctor on duty. I noticed when he walked into the room that he had obviously been asleep and had just been woken up.

The doctor instructed the nurse to give Imanae another injection. Imanae however continued to cry. Fifteen minutes later, the sleepy doctor instructed the nurse to inject Imanae with the 3rd injection. All in all, 5mg of this anesthetic/pain killer was given. This was the moment when my little baby went silent and started losing consciousness. Just before she totally passed out, she started calling out my name and saying that everything was getting blurred and she couldn’t see clearly. Little did I know that these were the last words my daughter would ever say.

I asked the doctor what was happening to my daughter, he assured me that she was FINE and was just SLEEPING, and left the room. I however wasn’t satisfied and checked Imanae myself to see if I could feel her breath or hear her heartbeat.

When I couldn’t feel either of the two, I immediately informed the nurse. She called the doctor again who used a Heart Beat Monitor to examine Imanae. There was no reading on the monitor. I asked the doctor what that signified and he told me that since the monitor was intended for adult use, it could not detect my baby’s hear beat. I WISH I HAD ASKED HIM THEN WHY HE WAS USING IT ON MY HELPLESS AND UNCONSCIOUS CHILD AND WASTING PRECIOUS TIME!!!

2010 Fashion

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:47:12 +0000

Do you want to be wearing this season’s trends whilst staying stylish and not be a fashion victim?

The only way to achieve this is to be conscious of your body shape and dress accordingly. So here are a few guidelines on how to wear some of this season’s trends.

COLOUR – Wearing the right colour can takes years off. So what do you do when this season’s colours aren’t right for you? You have a few options:

1.mix them with shades that do suit you

2. only wear the colour in small doses

3. keep the colour away from your face

The main colours this Spring/Summer are:

All White- I hear you all gasp I can’t wear white! It makes me look fat/pale etc. Well wearing all white can be as slimming wearing as all black and such a good alternative. We all know white looks good on tanned and dark skin, but all you pale ethereal complexions never fear – just wear softer whites.

Also the fabric will have an effect – a crisp tailored white shirt will look whiter and brighter than a tee shirt, so to soften a harsh look wear softer flowing fabrics.

The big trends are:

KNEE HIGH SOCKS:

These along with thigh high socks are set to be very popular, but the school girl look is definitely a no no –so do not wear with pleated skirts. This season it is more of a grown up look with the socks teamed with patterned tights for extra texture. The socks are either worn pulled up or scrunched down. Knee high socks or just above the knee socks are more slimming than thigh high if you are concerned with the size of your thighs. In the warmer weather wear thinner and light coloured socks. If you are conscious about your legs, try neutral plain socks or match the colour to your shoe. Wear a heel for a more sophisticated look.

HIGH WAISTED HOTPANTS!!!

Wearing knee high socks with hot pants will ensure not too much skin is revealed. But OK with hot pants you do have to be young and have a reasonable figure, so we’ll leave that one for the young fashionistas. However if you wear on the beach then that is a different scenario – it can give you a fun and sexy 1950’s look. Alternative and still on trend looks are:

BOY SHORTS & SHORT SHORTS: Still short but not as figure hugging

TAP PANTS:

these are looser and not so short, usually with a ruffled finish (similar to lingerie) in lace or semi sheer materials. These give a feminine look

UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR:

Corsets/bustiers will be shown and worn as tops or part of dresses. This is good news for all shapes and sizes as they hold you in, push you up and give curves where none existed. Some will have bra straps giving added support. For a more feminine look, wear silk/satin slips as dresses or tops. Some of the hot pants will be made of satin and so looking like lingerie. For the daring bras will be worn on top of tight tops – no need to hide your La Perlas now.

JEWELLERY:

Big statement necklaces are still on trend. Only have one large statement piece unless your bone structure is large. If you have an angular face, choose jewellery with angular details, e.g. squares, triangles. If you have a contoured face, choose softer detail such as loops, circle, and ovals. Also consider your face shape when choosing jewellery. E.g. a round face will look good in longer earrings as they will lengthen the face, round earrings will only emphasise the roundness of the face.

TROUSERS:

Patterned pants – stripes, florals, graphic and abstract shapes in bright & bold colours and also subtle & muted colours. Anything as long as they are patterned. Not good news for the bottom heavy figure so go for the more relaxed cuts rather than skinny tailored cuts. This trend will suit top heavy or the boyish figure.

Jodhpurs- high waisted to make the legs look longer and the muffin tops in . The shape gives a curve to the boyish figure and can also help disguise the larger hips.

Jumps suits & playsuits. These were in trend last summer and continue in to SS10. Will look good on curvy figures in the softer fabrics, but also for the straighter figures in a more taut fabric.

Patched ripped jeans - probably only for the younger woman

Genie pants – similar to harem pants but a bit more fitted.
