Venus Swimwear Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Let the shopping session for the new season swimsuit be a delightful experience and allow yourself to be seduced by the grand diversity of patterns, hues and styles included in the Venus spring/summer 2012 collection modeled by Elisandra Tomacheski .

The quest for fabulous swimwear options seems to be a never ending one, yet the multitude of fascinating styles retailers have prepared is definitely inspiring and worth analyzing a little deeper as there are various choices that can easily appeal to a wide range of preferances. For the spring/summer 2012 season, Venus has prepared a fabulous swimwear collection with different styles and a noticeable retro touch at times which is well contrasted by classic monochrome styles for a greater degree of versatility.

Leafs, stripes, floral and army prints, even occasional geometric vibes are seen as the perfect style elements for fashionistas who love the personality a pattern can bring to a swimsuit. Whether we are talking about two-piece styles, bandeau, halter bikinis or high waisted panty styles, there are plenty of options worth exploring in the latest collection by the emerging brand. But, supermodel Elisandra Tomacheski looks absolutely stunning in all the styles presented. We should always keep in mind that our body shape is the best indicator when it comes to the styles that will most flatter us.








One of the most interesting touches of the collection are perhaps the sequined styles which make a day at the beach almost seem like a festive occasion. Glamorous and attention grabbing, these are a sure conversation starter, especially when the contrast is heightened by a bold, saturated color as opposed to neutral tones or pastels. Changing up the focus as far as sequin touches are concerned can also prove a fun style mix for those who want something a little different without becoming too conspicuous.

The choice of a flattering bathing suit is only part of the equation as far as beach days preparation is concerned, it seems. While flaunting our best features gathers all our attention, it's important not to neglect the significant role that accessories can have, even for casual occasions like this one. A pair of sunglasses, golden bangles or seductive summery earrings are easy to grab in your beach bag and can have a tremendous impact as they help you look more polished.

Multi-task with Lip Balm

I'm cheap. If there's a way I can multi-task, I will. Without further ado...prepare to be mesmerized.


Lip balm is a great item to have in your make-up bag. Yes it's for your lips, however the ingredients in lip balm are gentle and safe so it can be a great multitasker!

For the tips below, it's always best to use a soft scented lip balm (avoid mint scents or flavors)

Prevent windburn

You love to ski, but you hate wearing a ski mask. Next time you go snow skiing, try rubbing lip balm,  on your face before you hit the slopes. The lip balm will protect your skin from windburn.


Remove a stuck ring

No need to pull and tug on your poor beleaguered finger to try to remove that stuck ring. Simply coat the finger with lip balm and gently wriggle the ring loose.


Groom wild eyebrows

Use lip balm as a styling wax to groom unruly mustaches, eyebrows, or other wild hairs.


Zap bleeding from shaving cuts

Ouch! You just cut yourself shaving and you’ve no time to spare. Just dab a bit of lip balm directly onto the nick and the bleeding from most shaving cuts will quickly stop. (Only do this with minor cuts).


Exfoliate dry & flaky lips

Your lips are dry and flaky? No problem! Turn your lip balm into a lip scrub. Simply apply a thick layer of lip balm onto your lips. Then coat your lips with sugar and gently scrub off the dead skin. Your lips will be soft and smooth.


Enhance your eyeshadow

Loose mineral eye shadows & powder eyeshadow can sometimes loose their staying power. In a pinch you can turn your balm into an eyeshadow primer and give those pigments something to stick to. Simply apply a small thin layer evenly onto your lids and watch your colors pop!



Rough cuticles

Have rough cuticles? No problem! Simply massage some lip balm onto them. They will look better in no time!


Enough said!

New York Fashion Week 2012: Jessica Alba outshines the catwalk models at Michael Kors' parade

Jessica Alba outshines the catwalk models at Michael Kors' parade at New York Fashion Week 



It's no easy task, but Jessica Alba managed to outshine the models at Michael Kors' show at New York Fashion Week today.
The mother-of-two looked elegant and stylish as she took her place in the front row alongside her husband Cash Warren.
The 31-year-old Fantastic Four star, who was joined by her husband Cash Warren, dazzled in teal Michael Kors frock with leather and cut-out detailing along with black tights and an elegant clutch.

Her hair was scarped back and she finished the look with lashings of red lipstick.
She sat alongside Rum Diary star Amber Heard, 25, who wore a classic white shift with a black and white patterned belt.
The two actress chatted away before the show and at one point onlookers spotted Jessica proudly showing her pictures of her daughters Honor, three, and six-month-old Haven.
Jessica's stylist - Bravo star Brad Goreski - also accompanied her.
Goreski managed to avoid an awkward encounter with his former employee turned nemesis Rachel Zoe, who was spotted backstage.
A host of other famous faces also turned out to see the popular designer's latest efforts.


Fashion lovers: Anjelica Houston, Debra Messing and model Patti Hansen

Smash actress Debra Messing, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, journalist Katie Couric, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol star Paula Patton rounded out the star-studded crowd. On the catwalk, Kors showed designs that featured big furs, knits and tweeds.

It was a great day for the designer, who is also famous for his role as a judge on the hit fashion show, Project Runway. His company reported robust quarterly results and shares of the designer apparel and accessories company jumped 26 percent to $42.19 on Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange. Chief Executive John Idol attributed the quarterly performance to 'the strong demand for the Michael Kors luxury brand, our exciting assortment of fashion merchandise and our exceptional jet-set in-store experience.'

Now that's one way to stop traffic: Jessica was earlier spotted on the streets of New York in a bright blue jacket and green jeans
