When going on your yearly vacation away from the busy, professional life you lead, you will not want to go cheap and miss out on the most luxury you get all summer long. This is the one time in the year you can properly let go off the stresses of your everyday life and recline back, enjoying the sun whilst reading a great book or off having adventures in a country you have never visited before. When you work so hard, you deserve to treat yourself to something wonderful and have a vacation filled with luxury. This guide will give you some starting points on how to book the best holiday you possibly can and line up a once in a lifetime, extravagant and indulgent time abroad.

No expenses spared

Before anything else, you need to sort out where you want to go and, out of those places, where will offer you the best experience. To decide where you want to go, search online for some inspiration and ideas for the most luxurious holiday destinations so you can get a better picture of the possibilities that are awaiting you if you save up enough money. The best way to narrow down on all the places you will inevitably want to go is by making a useful list of what you want to get out of your holiday. For example, making the simple distinction between whether or not you are looking for relaxation or adventure will halve your list in one foul swoop and make your choice a lot easier to make.

Better than the best

Now, once you have your destination, you need to go about choosing a glamorous hotel. To start with, you should look at branded, chain hotels and see what they have on offer at your chosen location as, booking with an international company could have the benefits of gaining points for multiple bookings which may afford you a free night here and there on future holidays. Of course, if you are more of a culture vulture, then do some research into the boutique hotels the area you are visiting has to offer, which are becoming increasingly popular with holiday goers. These boutique hotels offer a bit more of the local color and culture that you can throw yourself into.

The perfect outfits

Of course, if you are going on an expensive adventure abroad, you will want to look the part and indulge in some gorgeous holiday wear. Something you could check out before you go is Balenciaga’s Souvenir Collection, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to turn heads and look their best when out on their travels. Investing in some designer threads will elevate your vacation experience by letting you look and feel like a million dollars while exploring a whole new country and culture.

Having a luxury vacation is all about getting creative and finding the most interesting and incredible places to visit.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

luxury-home-guide

Luxury homes are showcased in magazines, featured in tv specials, and coveted by most around the world. They are the best, the biggest, and the epitome of human design and elegance. The lie here, however, is that they are only for the elite. You can transform any property into a luxury home by simply focusing on the key characteristics that traditional luxury homes share. Make these four changes, and you can enjoy a truly luxurious home whether you own a detached property or a small apartment:

Soundproof Your Home

When you think about the most luxurious homes in the world, one of the common characteristics that they share is solitude. Even the multi-million homes in the downtown heart of cities are penthouses, minimizing neighbor interaction and giving their owners some of the best views over the city. To mimic this trait in your own home you will need to emphasize soundproofing improvements. If you have single-pane windows you could benefit from visiting timberwindows-direct.co.uk and replacing them with beautiful double-pane windows in their stead. The better quality your window, the more natural light you can bring in while also making your home quiet and tranquil.

Focus on the Flow and Function

It is a mistake to assume that luxury is entirely in aesthetic. While yes it can be nice to be surrounded by beautiful things, it is also great to have a home that perfectly caters to all of your needs. By improving the flow and function of your home, you can greatly improve how you live within it. Perhaps the kitchen is closed off, or you want to open up a wall – by making these key renovations you can improve the very structure of the home.

Luxury-homes

It’s All in the Details

The structure and structural design of your home will impact how you live in the space, but design elements like changing the doorknobs or lighting fixtures to something more elegant and you can really help you feel like you are living in a luxurious property. A good tip to get great pieces for a budgets to head to antique sales. Not only is a fun treasure hunt, but items made even fifty years ago were to a higher standard than they are today, meaning you can often get a great deal on a truly luxurious piece.

Choose Timeless Over Trendy

When you do choose new items, always be critical of why it appeals to you. Tastes, after all, can be influenced by evolving trends. The last thing you want is to spend good hard money on a fad that you end up hating a few years later. By focusing instead on timeless pieces and design elements, you can better invest in items you will love for decades.

The only true limitation is your own imagination. Yes, some of these renovations can be costly, but by planning in advance and saving up for them you can not only work toward the improvement, you can make it work with your budget. Patience will pay off, just don’t give up on your dream for a luxury home.

How to Start Your Own Custom Jewelry Business

Custom-jewelry

Making your own costume jewelry can be both fun and profitable. Let’s assume that you are interested in costume jewelry, want to try it out as a hobby, and, if people love your stuff, start a part-time or full-time business.

Learning All about Costume Jewelry

If you’re interested in making costume jewelry, then you’re someone who already has some artistic talent and an eye for fashion. Start by deciding what it is that you want to make. What type of style appeals to you? One way to identify your style is to visit local stores and notice how they use gemstone beads, gold, or cubic zirconia diamonds. Pay attention to the weave and the thickness of the wires. You’ll notice that some strive to grab your attention with lovely sapphire glass while others try to add value by using sterling silver rather than silver-plated brass. Notice all these little things to get a good idea about styles, designs, and niches. You can also get inspiration by visiting art galleries and museums. Once you’ve got a good look at some costume jewelry in person, turn your attention to learning more about the process by reading magazine articles and blog posts. Collect pictures of images that you like and make notes of instructions and tips offered by expert designers. After you’ve developed an idea about what you like and don’t like, then look for jewelry making classes near you. If you can’t find any, then you will be able to find plenty online that will teach you through video tutorials.

Next, you’ll need to set up a dedicated space in your home where you can do the work. You will need space to store your materials and to set out your tools. Your workspace should be as comfortable as possible where you are less likely to be distracted. It is better to set up in a back bedroom than at a kitchen table or in the living room. Here are some things you will need for your jewelry workspace:

  • A good table where you have plenty of space to organize all your apparatus, tools, and raw materials.
  • A comfortable, ergonomic chair.
  • Plenty of storage spaces, ranging from boxes to cabinets.
  • High-quality lighting. Choose LED bulbs over incandescent lights or halogen bulbs. Since you will be working on intricate details, using light that is closer to sunlight will place less strain on your eyes is preferable.

After you’ve practiced making some jewelry, get some feedback from people who can give you some constructive criticism. Besides family and friends, get feedback from people in the business.

Starting A Costume Jewelry Business

Assuming that you’ve begun to create jewelry that elicits admiration from family, friends, and even strangers when you wear your jewelry in public, then you may want to consider making it a part-time or full-time business. Here are the steps to take to set up your own jewelry business:

1- Define your niche and your audience.

  • Do you want to create vintage costume jewelry?
  • Do you want to create vintage replicas?
  • Do you want to create trendy jewelry?
  • Do you want to create artisan costume jewelry?
  • Do you want to create designer costume jewelry?

Once you’ve defined your niche, consider the people who will be most interested in buying this type of jewelry.

2- Set up a business structure.

Speak to your local business development center to find out about permits to operate a retail business, sales tax permits, resale licenses, and name certificates. Also, create a business entity for legal and tax purposes.

3- Source your inventory.

There are many ways to source your inventory:

  • Open an account as a wholesaler with a manufacturer.
  • Buy liquidated jewelry.
  • Buy wholesale costume jewelry so that you have more inventory and variety rather than just selling things that you make yourself.

4- Find a venue.

Where do you want to sell your jewelry? Your options include:

  • Leasing a store.
  • Renting a kiosk.
  • Become a flea market dealer.
  • Creating home jewelry parties.
  • Building an eCommerce store.
  • Opening an account on an auction site or a marketplace like Etsy.

5- Market your stuff.

There are many small business marketing methods you can use, as well as online marketing methods to promote your business. For instance, you can create a blog where you share your experience as a designer and you can lend your pieces to a local fashion and jewelry show for some publicity.

In conclusion, you can start small, build up your knowledge and skills, then, depending on how well people respond, start a business.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

To exude luxury, you not only need the right mindset and attitude, but you also have to know how to dress yourself appropriately. Your goal should be to always look put together, even if you’re staying in with a few friends for the night. You not only want to know what fashions are popular, but also create a sense of your own style that you can rock. Accept that it’ll take a little extra effort on your part to get it right. However, your hard work will be well worth it when you see how great you look and notice how awesome you feel.

Do your Homework

Take your time to learn more about fashion and what’s trending before you go spending any of your hard-earned money on clothes. Follow industry bloggers, page through magazines and look at images to get a better idea of what you may want to wear that’s similar to what you’re seeing being published and highlighted. Come up with a couple of icons or mentors who you view as having a fantastic sense of style and use them as inspiration for your own look.

Clean out your Closet

You should start by knowing what you already own, what you need and which pieces you can get rid of or donate. Clearing out your closet will not only help you declutter, but you’ll be making room for those garments that are going to help you truly shine. There’s no point in hanging onto pieces you no longer enjoy wearing or that make you look frumpy and uninteresting. Your goal is to have a closet full of beautiful and eye-catching clothes that you look forward to putting on each day.

Care about what you Look like at Work

Work is a big part of your life, and it’s where you likely see the most people in any given day. You should care about what you look like even if you work in a factory or warehouse. For example, find some comfortable and stylish shoes for standing on concrete from Shoe Guide that you can wear each day and feel good about yourself when you’re in them. Don’t assume that because you’re at work your appearance or what you have on doesn’t matter.

Aperlai-shoes-website

Go Shopping & Try on Outfits

Finally, go out and model various looks yourself and see what sticks. The act of shopping and trying on different outfits and styles will give you a sense of what your body type looks good in and you feel confident wearing around. Be discerning and only purchase garments that you fall in love with and make you look spectacular. Dressing to impress requires you to filter out the unattractive outfits and only show off what’s flattering on you.

Conclusion

Dressing to impress is doable when you follow through with these tips. Take your time and go about it the right way if you want to design the ultimate wardrobe for you. The goal is to wake up every day and be excited about your clothing options and how you look in the mirror.

The world is full to the brim with jaw-droppingly beautiful destinations that are just waiting for you to discover and explore. Rather than visiting popular locations that attract tourists in their droves, consider more unique cities and towns that will provide you with a trip of a lifetime, while proving you are a seasoned traveller. If you are in need of some travel inspiration for your next big adventure, here are four unexpected luxurious destinations you must visit at least once.

1- South Korea

South-Korea-travel-guide

Don’t allow South Korea’s northern neighbor to stop you from visiting this stunning country, which offers breath-taking national parks, islands, and mountains. For example, you can visit temples, hot springs and jagged rock formations at Seoraksan National Park, which is the country’s third highest mountain. You can also relax on the many beautiful beaches or embark on a lava tube tour at Jeju Island, while passionate skiers should definitely visit Deogyusan Resort to take to the slopes before relaxing in a hot spring. You’ll never want to go home!

2-Brazil

Brazil-travel-guide

For a truly luxurious travel experience, look no further than Brazil. The nation is home to 2,000 exquisite beaches, including many private and party options for a truly unforgettable vacation. It also offers many natural wonders to explore, such as the Amazon Rainforest. When you are not busy visiting landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer and Escadaria Selaron, you can experience the many flavors of Brazilian cuisine that will make your trip complete. You can even recreate the dishes yourself once you return home. For example, you will feel as if you are back in the heart of Rio de Janeiro with this Brazilian sweet potato recipe from Hellofresh.

3-Latvia

Latvia-travel-guide

Does the idea of visiting a white-sand beach sound like your idea of heaven? If so, you need to book a trip to Latvia. The Baltic nation is filled with little surprises that will make this one trip you’re unlikely ever to forget. The seaside resort of Riga is home to Vakarbulli Beach, which offers breathtaking scenery that’s the perfect place to visit on a summer’s day. The city is also an ideal destination for history and architecture lovers, as the historic old town features mesmerizing churches and castles that are a celebration of the city’s extensive past.

4-Samoa

samoa-travel-guide

If you are looking to head off on a fun, luxurious adventure, you’ll want to travel to Samoa – which should not be confused with its neighbor, American Samoa. The nation is home to 10 unique islands that feature many volcanoes, rainforests, waterfalls, beaches, and swimming holes.

Few waterfalls in the world will impress you more than Papapapaitai Falls, which tumbles into a large gorge. If a luxury break is what you’re looking for in Samoa, there is no better place to stay than Upolu Island, which is renowned for its ecolodges and beachfront hotels, so you will wake up to a beautiful view of its white sand and bright blue sea.

Update Your Wardrobe Without Breaking Bank

wardrobe-fashion-guide

Fashion trends change often and can be costly for the average American. You can dress stylish and fashionable without going into debt! Here is how you can update your wardrobe, save money, and enjoy fashion trends on your schedule.

Define Your Personal Style

The first rule about fashion is that it should be something that defines your own personal style. Even a “jeans and tee shirt” type of person can be fashionable while wearing what they love the most. If you are unsure of what your personal style is, you can learn it quickly. Reviewing your current wardrobe is a perfect start. Take note of the colors you wear the most and you can learn what your personal color palette is. Reviewing your wardrobe also tells you a lot about what types of clothing you gravitate towards, such as maxi skirts or sweaters. If you want pieces to update your current wardrobe, or try out new styles, research fashion and celebrity magazines for inspiration.

Fashion-guide-color-palette

Buy Online

Rather than walking into your nearby Macy’s for your next shopping trip, consider shopping online. You can find everything from cheap prescription glasses complete with trendy frames to major discounts on designer shoes. Occasionally, you can find trunk shows online that will save you tons of pieces that haven’t been released to the public just yet. Don’t forget about the shopping power of eBay and Amazon!

Look for coupons online

It makes no sense to pay full price for anything at any time! Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can find coupons for just about anything you are wanting to buy. Retail Me Not is a site that is fantastic at finding a coupon code to save on your purchase. Email subscriptions from your favorite online retailer can also garner you a few discounts. Do join any rewards programs you can for extra discounts and freebies throughout the year. Honey is an extension you can add to your browser that will tell you if there are coupon codes available. Lastly, don’t forget to join Ebates. While you can get special discounts with them, they are primarily a rebate program that pays you a percentage of what you spend. You can use Ebates in conjunction with a coupon code you found elsewhere.

Thrifting

vintage-clothes

Buying second-hand is a perfect way to get your hands on some designer pieces without paying full price. Thrift stores and donation-based stores, such as Goodwill or Salvation Army, will sometimes have the best find if you are willing to spend some time looking through the racks. Consignment shops are another awesome way to find good clothes at a fair price. Consignment shops are a bit pricier than the donation-based store but they are also buying the clothes from community members and have specific standards they are looking for when it comes to buying those clothes. They also have different types of sales modules so that you can get the best price possible. If something sits in their store for too long, they are quick to mark it down to make room for more merchandise. Many have a certain day of the week in which their discounts are a bit deeper than others.

Now that you know how to save money on a fashionable wardrobe, what is the first piece you are going to look for?

How To Enhance Your Current Lifestyle

Lifestyle-guide

In order to live your life without regrets, it is important that you are always striving for more. Of course, you should make the most of what you already have, but there is no shame in setting yourself ambitious goals and doing everything in your power to reach them. If you are unsure as to how you can enhance your current lifestyle, you should pay close attention to the following seven suggestions. Hopefully, they will inspire you to make subtle alterations to your everyday life. You might be surprised by just how big an impact the smallest of changes can make.

Experiment with different work out plans

If you already exercise on a regular basis, it is essential that you experiment with different work out plans. This is a great opportunity for you to find a work out that meets all your requirements. It might be that you are struggling to deal with a hectic schedule and you need to find short workouts that you can complete in under twenty minutes. Or, it could be that you find exercise boring and need to select an activity that keeps your mind focused on other things. Whatever your issue, keep going until you uncover a regime that makes you happy. Once you have made this change, you will find it so much easier to meet your targets and to push forward with your fitness journey.

Try out new and exciting recipes

Another way to enhance your current lifestyle is by trying out new and exciting recipes. If you are wondering where to begin this process, why not try out one new recipe per week? Alternatively, if you want to dive straight in at the deep end, you could sign up to a cookery course. You could also follow online blogs, subscribe to YouTube channels, and invest in your recipe book collection. This will help you to improve your basic culinary skills. It should also inspire you to do more with your time in the kitchen. Preparing food should be a fun and creative process, as opposed to a chore that you are reluctant to take on.

Upgrade your wardrobe

As you enhance your work out plans and your diet, you might find that your overall appearance improves. If this occurs, you will need to upgrade your wardrobe. Even if you maintain your existing shape, you could still benefit from reevaluating your collection of clothing and accessories. Have no fear; this doesn’t have to interfere with your bank balance. The biggest change that you can make to your closet is getting rid your old and unwanted clothes. Take the time to pass on any items that you no longer need. Then, you will need to write a list of essential items that you are missing. If you are in search of luxury goods, you should check out discount designer sites and flash sales. However, if you are working within a tight budget, you should pay a visit to your local thrift stores and charity shops.

Wardrobe lifestyle

Evaluate the way in which you are spending your free time

The next suggestion is to evaluate the way in which you are spending your free time. Perhaps you have recently taken up photography. Why not take this hobby to the next level by investing in high-quality equipment, lessons with a professional, and a formal binder for all your favorite shots? Alternatively, you may spend your free time vaping. If this is the case, you will need to visit https://www.brokedick.com. There is no better place for you to find the necessary vaping equipment and e-juices to enhance your everyday experience.

Upgrade your interior design scheme

In addition to this, you should take the time to upgrade your interior design scheme. The first step is to clear out your living space so that it is free from clutter and chaos. Next, you will need to pull out paint colors and fabric swatches that appeal to you. If you are afraid of making mistakes along the way, you could always experiment with a mood board. You could also secure the services of an interior designer or ask the advice of your friends and family. Whatever you decide, the most important thing is that you are happy with your finished look. Your home should be a space that lifts your spirits and calms your nerves. It has a huge impact on your mood, your mental health, and your lifestyle, so you need to get it right the first time.

Revolutionize your social calendar

Once you have taken control of your living space, it is important that you invite your friends and family over on a regular basis. This is a fantastic way for you to enhance your current lifestyle, as you will be focusing on what really matters. Instead of allowing a busy schedule or a reliance on technology to stand in the way of you connecting with your loved ones, you should revolutionize your social calendar. Ideally, you should be meeting up with at least two loved ones a week. You should also be using apps, clubs, and public events to establish new connections. Don’t hold back! This is your chance to inject happiness, positive energy, and excitement into your life.

Plan an incredible vacation

The final suggestion is to plan an incredible vacation. If you are finding it hard to reconnect with your friends and family, this could be a brilliant opportunity for you to speed up the process. However, going on a solo trip could also work wonders for your stress levels and your outlook on life. That is why you should set yourself the challenge of planning a couple of trips a year. Maybe you could go on a friend’s trip to Las Vegas, New York, or Paris. Then, later in the year, you could go on a solo trip to a private spa or health retreat. You might need to play around with your budget, but all the hard work is bound to pay off.

Should You Go to School to Major in Fashion?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

fashion-school-major-in-fashion

If you’re an undergraduate student or a working person with a bachelor’s degree, it’s more important than ever to consider the benefits of going to graduate school. While there is much to be said for the advantages of working hard at your job and learning on the job, going to grad school is often the fast track to rapid success. It’s an excellent way to acquire the knowledge and skills you need to assume a leadership position in your field.

Naturally, you must have a passion for what it is that you want to learn because graduate school is both physically and mentally demanding. One field that many people are fascinated with is the world of fashion. If you’re passionate about fashion, then enrolling in LIM College fashion graduate programs makes perfect sense. You need to go to an institution that offers the best curriculum for what it is that you want to learn.

Why Choose Fashion as a Major

Fashion can be fun and fast-paced. Competition is fierce, and to get ahead many people prefer to graduate from fashion schools rather than slowly work their way up in an organization. There are many reasons why people fall in love with fashion and the fashion industry:

  • Positions: It’s an industry where you can play to your strengths. If you’re an outgoing person, you can prosper in the retail section. If you’re a creative soul, then there is always a need for costume designers. And if you’re the artistic type, with an eye for reporting details, then you’ll flourish in mass communication, where there is always a need for writers, editors, photographers, or producers.
  • Unpredictability: If one thing characterizes the fashion industry, it’s rapid change. There is always something new around the corner; and if you become a fashion executive, you will find yourself traveling across the country and around the world.
  • People-focus: Contacts are important for all businesses, but in fashion, you’ll routinely connect with leaders, influencers, and trendsetters. Your network will be diverse. You’ll meet people with different experiences and stories –from those who are just entering the field to those who are just leaving it, from those affiliated with multimillion-dollar brands to those bravely venturing to create their own name.

fashion-schools

Majoring in Fashion

The more you know, the greater your chances of flourishing in the fashion industry; and, of course, the best way to learn quickly is to enroll in a school that offers a  fashion major. When deciding on a college, here are seven key questions to ask:

  1. Is the fashion program accredited?
  2. Do the professors have industry experience?
  3. Does this school offer training in the latest design software?
  4. Does the school have a student exchange program with fashion schools located in cities like London, Paris, or New York?
  5. Will the school help me find a job in the fashion industry after graduation?
  6. Will you be able to make important industry contacts as you go through the program?
  7. Will you be able to learn many of the things you are most interested in learning about when it comes to the latest fashion trends?

Types of Classes

When you enroll in a fashion school, you will learn how to sketch designs, how to sew, how to construct patterns, and how to use computer-aided design (CAD) software. You’ll also learn how to differentiate between different textile and fabrics to choose your line of clothes how to create your own clothing collection for your portfolio.
In short, you’ll learn everything you need to create casual outfits to the expensive gowns you’ll only see at the world’s most prestigious entertainment award ceremonies.

Final Thoughts

It’s fairly safe to say that when you learn more about fashion, you’ll exponentially improve your chances to earn more in this industry. It’s a simple way to get ahead in your career. Yet despite this obvious rule of thumb to get ahead in life, only a small percentage of people involved in the world of fashion embrace it.
