Megan Fox & Rafael Nadal for Armani Jeans Ad Campaign

It’s been the second time that Megan Fox graced Armani campaigns, both Jeans and Lingerie. If in 2010 we saw her together with Christiano Ronaldo, for 2011 she posed with Rafael Nadal. And although they pose separately they still make a great duo.

Megan looks slim and hot wearing Armani Jeans for adverts. Until now we have just one photo released and it looks pretty. What I dislike is the tattoos. The Transformers star has too many of those.

Rafael Nadal has a great shape and looks very sexy on the campaign pic for Armani Jeans but there is something wrong with the look in his eyes? Doesn’t it seem empty to you???

History of Fashion Brands’ Logos

Carolyn had been offered the job by Philip Knight, one of company founders, who said he didn’t love the logo he got from the young designer but was sure it would grow on him. Later when Nike became an international sportswear producer Knight gave Davidson a diamond Swoosh ring and an envelope filled with Nike stock to express his gratitude.

Moreover, a red lipstick can add glam and femininity in an instant. Here are some makeup tips for you to draw your inspiration for your winter 2011 makeup looks.

Eyeliner can be considered as a real lifesaver for girls who have smaller eyes and want to bring depth to them. You can apply eyeliner only on the top lid in order to add expressiveness to your look. If you use a liquid eyeliner, make smaller lines in the inner and outer corner and in the middle, then connect them. For the bottom eyelid it is preferable to use a pencil eyeliner. For a night out with your friends try the cat eye makeup for a sexy look.

How to look stylish in cold weather

Winter is a season when you want and need to look good. Health is above fashion of course but you can look elegant in any weather if you know how to choose and combine clothes. You can be well-dressed and warm at the same time!
Here are 5 tips for you to use when choosing your winter outfits:

Tip 1: Opt for warm clothes for the upper part of your body
To keep warm you need to choose good items to dress your upper part. The main thing is to choose the right fabric and length to avoid fatter look.

Find a top with long sleeves that narrow to wrists. This can be a silky blouse or the one of another flimsy material. Don’t wear tops with wide wrist area even if those are top trendy. Cold wind can go inside and you might catch a severe chest cold.

45 Ways to Feel Happier

Depression is modern social evil. We get depressed of so many things that often the whole life seems to be the source of misery. But is everything really so bad or we just take it that seriously? I believe it is our wrong perception of reality that makes us feel depressed. And that means by changing the perception we can change the way feel. Doing this is quite easy. Read 45 ways to feel happier and try at least 10 of them to achieve the goal.

1. Go for a walk every day and spend no less than 20-30 minutes in the open air. When I say ‘go for a walk’ it means you should just walk, with no purpose, and enjoy the process. Hurrying to the office or the supermarket doesn’t count.
2. Spend at least 8 hours for sleep that is essential for the organism to function well. You’ll feel more optimistic when you wake up.

3. Find time for listening to soft music, meditating, dreaming. While doing that forget about your problems and just think positively.
