How to Find the Perfect Jeans for You




Shopping for jeans doesn't have to be a nightmare. Here's a guide to helping you find the perfect pair of jeans.


1. Pick stores which make you comfortable, not those with unfriendly or unhelpful salespeople who make you require leaving quickly. It may take a while to find the perfect pair of jeans. Some stores that have nice quality jeans is Apparelus.com though you can find some other stores with a small searching.


2. Select lots of different styles, even if you think they may not be flattering, & bring them in to the dressing room simultaneously so that you can compare them.


3. Different cuts are a better fit for different bodies. Sometimes jeans will be a perfect fit in two place & loose or tight in another. These jeans are not for you; they won't mold themselves to your body, if they are loose.


4. Walk around. Are they easy to walk in? Jump up & down. It sounds a bit weird but are they easy to move in? Try bending or sitting down. Make sure the flesh of your backside is not showing.


5. Check the price. Nice jeans normally come at a price, but think about how much you are willing to spend. If the price is within your budget, take them to the checkout & enjoy wearing your perfect jeans!

The Boyfriend Jacket




And so, this D&G blazer. I am not sure how my boss would take it if I showed up in it with the shorts they picture it with. But as part of a suit, it is hot. A tailored blazer is six of those amazingly sexy things. And I am liking that they pair it with a T-shirt.

The fella blazer is back. Or it is not back, but , it is new. Or. whatever. Anyway, it is what we are all supposed to be wearing. When I am reborn as a six-foot, willow-thin model, I plan to follow every fashion trend, but until that day, I'll tailor them to fit my personal style.

The only bummer is that it is made with wool, which means it better come off the shelf quick before we are all on to the next thing for Spring. I listen to see-through pink is the next massive trend. Something to contemplate while I finish my bowl of ice cream.

The logical way to find love



It's no secret that finding love is not easy, but at least we are not alone in the hunt. There is a wealth of self-improvement guides out there to help us, from The Rules to He is Not That In to You. But how much assistance do these books provide? Not much, according to Andrew Trees, acclaimed author & journalist. After listening to sisters & friends wax lyrical about four dating manual after another, Trees tried to delve deeper in to what made them so popular, but came up empty as it soon became apparent that most could be summed up by a zippy catchphrase & few contained any research or evidence. Want-ing to find out more about the science of attraction, Trees did his research & set about writing Decoding Love, the anti-dating-advice book. Drawing on a variety of studies from different arenas including economics, game theory & evolutionary psychology, Trees uses scientific enquiry to generate a more substantial insight in to love.

Forget about finding The Four

Trees warns that extravagant expectations are counterproductive. "Western romantic myths of the perfect somebody actually cause a lot of harm in dating & relationships it turns out that our idea that you must find The Four is not healthy." Consistent with the underlying message of his book, they must be willing to step out of the boundaries of our existing notions about dating. The mournful fact is that a lot of us nurture inflated notions about our "market value" & this interferes with what they expect in a partner. Like it or not, Tree found a quantity of studies that indicated factors such as height & income dictate a man's value while physical beauty is important in determining a woman's, & that there's trade-offs of these qualities that take place in relationships.

It’s Hard To Pretend I’m OK When the Truth is I’m Not



In the past, I thought love is patient and willing to wait till the end. But after almost 18 years in Canada, I realized that true love really hurts, especially if you saw the person you love has found someone else. A promise indeed is made to be broken. It’s hard to pretend that you’re happy but deep inside, your heart is aching. It’s just like you’re hit by thousands of needles. *major ouch*

When I was young, I had a friend named Robert. Actually he’s my best friend. However, as time goes by I felt something different for him. Yet, I’m really shy to tell him the truth, that I have a crush on him.

He’s a good looking guy with teary eyes and fair complexion. Actually, he has all the traits I’m looking for a guy. But then, there’s a single problem. At that time, I was about to migrate to Canada to manage my dad’s wholesale clothing business.

Just the same, I told Robert how I felt about him. I told him he was everything I was looking for in a guy. I was surprised because he hugged me too tight and gave me a cute bracelet, asking me to keep it until the day I came back from Canada. He told me that no matter how many years it will take, he’s willing to wait for me.

Fast forward to 18 years, I came back to San Diego due to a financial crisis. My dad’s wholesale clothing business went bankrupt. I came back to the old house and looked if Robert was still there. But instead of finding Robert, I saw a girl named Jane. I asked her about Robert and according to her, Robert is her boyfriend. After long years of waiting, I realized that I’m so stupid.

It was only then that I finally gave in to the long years of pain and sadness I felt of being away from Robert. Tears fell down from my eyes, and I didn’t even bother to stop it. When Robert finally came, I pretend that was ok. I forced myself to be happy for him, but I just can’t. When I left their house, I left a part of me in there. I’m still trying to get back the love I lost until now. I still love him so much. Yet, it’s hard to accept the truth that his heart belongs to another woman.
