3 Steps to picking the perfect dress for any occasion



Warmer weather has arrived and that means that chances are you will be going on vacation, attending weddings, picnics, and family gatherings in the near future. While these events are often fun and exciting as you get to reconnect with friends and family, the idea of finding something to wear is daunting and dreadful. After hibernating all winter and staying indoors to keep warm, chances are high that you may have gained a little bit of weight. This makes finding clothes all the more troublesome. With the help of this article and the Dress Guide from The Freedom State , you will have plenty of fashionable ideas at your fingertips.

  1. Type of event. If you are attending a picnic with family, you should choose a lightweight, colorful sundress. If you are going to a wedding, consider wearing a dress that is floor length and dressier than a sundress. The first thing to do when trying to decide what you will wear to an event is to identify the type of event you are attending. If you are attending a casual event, your dress should also mimic that. The same goes for a fancier affair or trip to the beach. There are types of dresses for any occasion.
  2. Budget. No matter what type of event you are attending, it is important to identify how much you are able to spend on your attire before you head out to the mall to go shopping. The worst is taking the effort to travel to a dress shop, try on dresses, fall in love with one, to then get to the register to find out that it is out of your price range. Save yourself the hassle and disappointment by solidifying a budget before you begin shopping. Also keep in mind that you may have to purchase accessories, shoes, pantyhose, and other items. Be sure to factor all of this into your budget so that you do not spend all of your money on the dress and then not have anything left over for the other accessories.
  3. Color. Choosing a color is important as it can draw excess attention to you depending on the type of event. Not to mention that certain colors are culturally more appropriate to wear to events compared to others. For example, it is not considered good etiquette to wear white to a wedding or wear bright colors to a funeral. Wearing white to a wedding is thought to take away from the bride which is a big “no, no.” Wearing bright, cheerful colors to a funeral when the atmosphere is most likely one that is glum, is also a bad idea. Dark colors are more acceptable for such an occasion.

When deciding what dress you will wear to your next event, consider the type of event as well as the appropriate color before starting to shop. It is also a great idea to have a budget in mind so that you do not fall in love with something that is out of your price range. Keep these tips in mind when shopping for your next dress.

When it comes to engagement rings, there is so much choice available that the prospect of going shopping for one can seem quite daunting. Just take a look at some of the latest styles available on the pinterest.com website, and you will see just how much choice is available.

Different types of precious metal can be used in a ring, as well as many kinds of precious stones, which can all be cut into different shapes. The considerations are almost endless, so one of the best things that you can do is to let her help choose her engagement ring to help make sure that she gets the ring of her dreams. When they hear that they will be able to go shopping for the best engagement rings in Toronto from Diamonds for Less, just watch their eyes light up!

You Can Still Stick With Tradition


Just because you want your partner to help to choose their ring, does not mean that you have to move away from tradition. If you want to go the full distance and bend down on your knee to propose, you can still do this and use a prop ring so that you can help keep with tradition. If they say yes, you can then explain to your future wife that you wanted to ask the question with a ring, but that you want them to help choose their proper ring.

Just What She Wants


Ringsthroughout the years have somewhat changed, but many classic designs are still as popular today as they were 100 years ago. When you allow your fiancée to choose her ring, you are allowing her to live a fantasy which may have been with her from a young age.

Allowing her dreams to come true is an excellent way to start the rest of your life together, so if you can do this for your loved one, they will be eternally grateful. Getting points before you are even married is a great way to stay ahead of the game, and you will now need to start planning a shopping trip to look for your engagement ring for your betrothed.

Engagement Ring Shopping


Before you start to visit all of the different jewellers in your local area, the first thing you will need to do is to sit down and talk to each other and find out what she has her heart set on. You can then do some research online and locate the style of ring that she prefers and see how much this will cost you. You will need to work within your budget, and if necessary, you can always save for a couple of months before you get the real ring and put it on her finger.


If you want to make your future wife feel like a princess, then let her help tochoose her engagement ring, and make her dreams come true. When the in-laws see how much you care for your future spouse, they will give you a much easier time welcoming you to the family, and you get to show everyone just how special your future wife is to you.

3 Tips to Keeping Your Shoes Looking New



Finding the perfect shoes will always be a top priority. But making them last is another thing.
Fret not! You do not need to hire someone to make your shoes as polished and as looking good as if they were new again. There are tools you can use or tips you can apply on it to keep them looking new.

Check out these three tips to make your shoes looking brand new as ever.

1. Make use of special cleaning techniques for different kinds of shoes.

Let’s start with sneakers. Dish soap or a laundry detergent can do the trick. Mix it with water and then make it as your solution using a small brush. For stains, you might want to use a shampoo to remove them.

Meanwhile, cleaning suede is way different. You may buy a specially formulated cleaner or just use white vinegar. Gently apply white vinegar using a brush then dry off the shoes with a cloth.
Maintaining the brand new look of a leather shoes can be done with a toothpaste. Use a toothbrush to scrub the shoes and wipe it off with a damp rag. You can also wipe it with shoe polish which can make the leather shinier.

2. Use a shoe stretcher.

Even when we try shoes before buying them, there are times when we end up having the uncomfortable fit. Rather than wasting time in going back again to the department store for an exchange, a good shoe stretcher is the key. Aside from that, shoes may shrink or the feet may feel pain while wearing it as time goes by. A good shoe stretcher can lessen the pain and make the shoes more comfortable to fit rather than trying to deal with the agonizing pain. This handy essential can be used with leather and suede and other materials. Shoes can be stretched depending on the material. Shoe stretchers are used to adjust the size that would fit your original size. To use this, simply insert the bunion attachment to the holes in the shoe stretcher. Insert them into the shoes and turn the handles clockwise. Leave them overnight and repeat the process if needed.

3. Layer the soles

Are you fond of using a pair of shoes almost every day? Save them from being quickly worn out with an additional layer in its soles. Adding an extra rubber sole, on top of a leather sole will protect your shoes from damage. After purchasing a new pair, ask your shoemaker to add an extra rubber sole to your shoe. Consider it as an investment for your boots and leather shoes.
There is no need to buy another pair when you have shoes that can withstand time. It does not only save you bucks from spending but it also hones your capability to do tricks and make remedy on things you can save.
We hope these handfuls of tips will help you in making your shoes not only last longer but look as good as new.
