HOW TO WEAR IT DOLCE & GABBANA FALL 2014

We are of the mind-set that if you’re going to do fanciful - really do a fanciful print like we saw on the runways. However, if you are a little conservative, choose a smaller print. This way, it won’t be too distracting. Pair it with a jacket for a more business formal look with appropriate shoes.

hite is no longer just a summer color. We’ve all heard the old adage you don’t wear white after Labor Day. But more and more people are ignoring this fashion rule and are rocking this color all

year long.

A white jacket can give an outfit a sleek look. Or you can simply wear a casual white blouse with dark jeans or skirt for a simple, chic look. What’s great about wearing white is that it matches with everything and is a great canvas to work with. With just a simple dress, you can create a masterpiece from your blank canvas.

BOXED WATER With the rap of NYFW with Fashion Editors, Bloggers, Designers and Models running all around from show to show, it is so important to stay hydrated. So, my choice of refreshment is Boxed Water. This healthy alternative has proven that it is able to increase the sustainability of packaged water while also creating a carbon footprint that is nowhere near as large as water is placed in plastic bottles. Also, let’s be honest as well, the packaging is so sleek and modern. What could be more fashionable about that? Stay hydrated my friends.

s I get older, I’ve noticed my views on footwear are changing rapidly. It was only just a few years ago that I wouldn’t be caught dead in anything less than 6

inches, even in the hills of Malibu! That is till I was reintroduced to the ballet flat. Ah yes, that patent leather shoe with the big bow that your mother proudly displayed your little feet in can be your fashion savior. Just because it is a flat, does not mean it is ugly.

The pilot suddenly appears first as an unrecognizable figure, but then the shadow begins to disappear and reveal his true identity. A gorgeous woman begins to smile looking intently at the man approaching. Finally the pilot yells, “Jasmine?” The woman then sprints toward the man leaping into his arms and says, “You’re late.”

URSULA BURNS TAKING AND LEADING THE CHARGE

In the past five years as CEO, Ms. Burns has helped Xerox to transition from a company known for making carbon copies to a technology-driven and services led establishment. She has proven that the position is not more than she can handle by increasing the full-year revenue to $21.4 billion. Not bad for a woman who started her career with the company as a summer intern in 1980.

So there you have it ladies, if you want to climb that corporate ladder, you will most likely need a supportive spouse by your side, preferably one much older than yourself.

e’ve all heard of the Fortune 500 list. It’s a pretty exclusive club; only 500 businesses out of the countless numbers of businesses in the United States make this list. Obviously, if you expect to head up one of these privileged entities you will definitely need to know your stuff and command the respect of hundreds, thousands or even millions of people. Urusla Burns has joined the air of this rarefied community as Chairman and CEO of Xerox. She is the first African-American woman to hold such a position in a 500 company. Forbes magazine listed her as the 22nd of the 100 most powerful women in the world, joining the lofty company of women like,

etherlands is more than just the tulip fields, dikes, windmills, and bikes. Learn more about the country, experience Dutch life as it happens, and walk along its streets and walk with its history, culture and people. So plan the trip, pack your bags and head for these places and activities in the Netherlands.

Amsterdam If there’s one thing that draws people into this city, it’s probably the relaxed atmosphere that you never get to experience elsewhere. Amsterdam locals have found a way to balance business life with relaxation and to find time to bask in the sun and to attend business responsibilities. Shop, dine, party, and relax in this carefree, liberal city with its friendly English-speaking people. Haarlem Get a taste of the Harleem beer where it is brewed. Take a walk in the bustling Grote Markt on Mondays and Saturdays and enjoy the market, buy anything from clothing materials to fresh herring. Tulips also grow in abundance in Haarlem, so make sure to visit and take a sniff of one of the Haarlem’s most prized industry.

The Hague The Hague serves as the home of the Dutch Government, the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court. This makes The Hague not only important in terms of domestic affairs, but also in terms of international judicial systems as well. Take a peek into the lives and culture of this city by visiting its museums and other tourist destinations. Bike Tour Biking has been a way of life for the Dutch people, and people from all walks of life do it for health, economic or recreational reasons. Travel the Netherlands on two wheels and see a place you’ll never see on four wheels. Better yet, join the Dutch bicycle tour and experience Netherlands the way you never imagined.

Beer Drinking Going to a beer-exporting country demands you taste it on site and Heineken is not the end of the Dutch beer line. This never seems to be a problem for the Dutch people who ship some 1,300 million liters of beer annually and allows 16 year olds to drink their beer. Whether you drink it as a delicacy or you just want an excuse to crawl to your hotel’s door, a Dutch retreat is never a Dutch retreat without those Heinekens. Van Gogh Museum Netherlands is home not only for budding tulips but also for famous painters and artists. Located in Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum is considered one of the best galleries that feature impressionist artworks.

Media cabinets are the furniture item used to store and position your entertainment center equipment such as a DVD player, gaming console, television, or CD player. When choosing a media cabinet, there are several important things to take into consideration, such as size, design, construction, and material.

An entertainment center is an important part of your household, and requires considerable planning and forethought before you begin purchasing its components. As a significant part of it, housing all of your other media devices, your media cabinet merits your consideration.

First, measure the various electronic boxes and objects that you plan on storing in the cabinet. Start with your TV. Keep in mind the different ways your devices could be arranged in any given cabinet, and consider leaving extra space for unforeseen storage needs. Don’t forget to check front to back space, in addition to height and width.

With the help of these tips, you are now ready for your purchase. Good luck!

A larger cabinet will draw more attention; if you plan on making your entertainment system the focus of your living room, use this to your advantage. Alternatively, if you want your entertainment center to be inconspicuous, go for a smaller cabinet. Next, examine the overall construction. Glass doors can enable you to operate devices via remote without having to have the doors open. Openings at the back for cables and power cords should be conveniently placed and be able to fit all the cords that you plan on running through them. If you are buying your cabinet used, look for scratches, dents, scuffs, or other damage. Also ensure the paint hasn’t faded or the finish worn off, though, if necessary, you can repaint or refinish it. Now take a look at the overall construction style and material of the cabinet, and compare it to the style of the room where you plan on putting it. As to material, metal, plastic, and glass cabinets go best with more modern styles while wood furniture will look better around antiques. For the most durable media cabinets, choose one made from hardwood or metal. Wood furniture can be costly, so keep that in mind. If you decide to go with glass as a material, make sure it is thick enough to avoid breakage, and ensure that the glass is safety glass, which breaks into small rounded pieces instead of large shards.

Another problem with being overly stressed is that it can lead to the breakdown of lean muscle mass which in turn decreases your rate of metabolism. As time progresses, having less muscle mass will make it more difficult to stay fit and trim. Again, not what you’re looking for as you try to slim down or maintain your weight.

BLOODY MARY?

WANT A COLD, SPICY AND FRESH DRINK?


59 – 1966mag.com

ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONSIDERATIONS, WHICH PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED ARE THE DRINKS THEY WILL SERVE. THEY BUY SOME WINES AND A CASE OF BEER AND THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. OTHERS WILL ONLY SERVE THE COCKTAILS THEY ENJOY TO THEIR GUESTS. A GOOD HOST SHOULD CONSIDER EVERY GUEST. FOR A DRINK OFF THE BEATEN PATH, CONSIDER THE BLOODY MARY. Prep Time: 3 minutes Yield: 1 16 oz. cocktail Ingredients: 6 ounces good quality tomato juice 2 ounces vodka 1 TBSP Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce 1 TBSP squeezed lime juice 1/4 tsp sodium celery salt 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper Instructions: Pour all ingredients into an ice filled cocktail shaker. Roll until thoroughly mixed and chilled. Pour into large glass. Garnish with celery stalk, pickle, beef stick, or choose your own favorite snack. Photo Credit : wollertz
