• Today’s Mood: Happy

Clubbing season is over. It’s time to look forward to the coming cooler weather, the fashion it will bring, and the pact it will have on next year. Yes, Autumn / Fall 2010 fashion trends are on the horizon. With the new season comes a lot of new looks and, for those that aren’t new, new takes on established fashion trends.

60sLadylike. The silhouettes of the 1950s and 1960s make a strong return, with shapes that accentuate curves and foster femininity. A hip-hugging sheath dress with a below-the-knee hem is the ultimate in hourglass dressing, while the full circle skirt and dress remain at the core of the trend.

Cut Out Clothing. Normally a clothing style exclusive to Spring / Summer, the cut out made a big impact on the fall catwalks. Seen in a variety of styles, with the cut out pieces worked directly on top of skin or ‘filled in’ with sheer fabrics

Knee High Socks. From the sporty to the sparkly, to layering of socks over tights; a great pair of socks can add that extra, and much needed, eye catching detail to an outfit.

Military Fashion. Yes, military remains a trend for Fall 2010 but not as you’ve previously come to know it. From army green to lined boots, it’s now a trend that’s far more subtle but no less appealing. While fashion trends tend to burn out within a few years, the women’s military fashion trend isn’t going anywhere.

Lingerie as Outwear. A mixture of sexuality and femininity, the trend encompasses everything from exposed bras and stay ups right through to delicate laces.Wearing underwear as outerwear is never-the-less a trend for Autumn 2010 and is very sexy.

Double Breasted Jackets. The double breast is a perfect for creating simple yet sophisticated impact in a jacket. Often just with two-buttons, architecturally cut to be striking and often straying from traditional fabrics.

Sheer Clothing. Yes, sheer pieces are in for the cold months. Yes, we agree that sounds a little strange. Just be conscious of the fact that sheer pieces are revealing, and that means extra care.

After 83 contestants graced the stage in beautiful gowns and skimpy swimsuits, Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was crowned the winner of the 2010 Miss Universe contest.

Less than 24 hours after she was crowned Miss Universe, Mexico’s Navarrete has become a top trending topic on Twitter and thousands of fans have flooded her Facebook page.

She had a flowing red dress, strutted confidently in a violet bikini, and said onstage that the Internet is indispensable in these times, but requires parents to impart family values about it.

The model-turned pageant queen then posed for pictures with a Mexican flag and Mexico’s last Miss Universe as congratulations from her countrymen came pouring in.

She was cheered by Spanish-speaking reporters clamoring to talk with her after the pageant, and twice answered questions about Arizona’s recent immigration law.

“Every country has the right to impose and enact their laws,” she said, wearing her new sash and sparkling tiara. “But I tell you that all the Mexicans and the Latins that are living here in the United States are hardworking people — people who want to improve on their quality of life.”

Mexico’s Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe on Monday in an upset victory that extended Latin America’s domination of the pageant to three consecutive years. We just want to say CONGRATULATIONS! And wish you the best luck!

Here is how the top five Miss Universe 2010 contestants placed:

Despite the way it feels, losing weight isn’t a mysterious process. It’s a simple matter of burning more calories than you eat. The true secret to weight loss is this: Make small changes each and every day and you’ll lose those extra pounds. To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities.

Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day.

Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc.

Add it up. Take your BMR number, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you’re eating more than you’re burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you’re eating 2400 calories) you’ll gain weight. If you’re burning more than you eat, you’ll lose weight.

Weight Loss Tips

Set realistic goals Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you’ll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add).

Drink Water Drink one or two glasses of water before meals, this will make you feel more full and so you won’t eat so much. Drinking water is also generally quite healthy, so you’d be doing yourself two favors by keeping yourself hydrated throughout the day.

Breakfast Skipping breakfast will actually make you fatter since you’ll be even hungrier by lunchtime. Make sure you eat a good breakfast every day.

Fill up on fiber You can curb your hunger by increasing your intake of dietary fiber, which is filling, so you feel full but eat less. For these diet tips, experts recommend eating more fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals.

Eat Only when you are Hungry Hunger is the message of our organism to tell us that we need fuel, so if the desire for food is not due to hunger, the food will not make us feel better.

Do not Skip Meals Eating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keep your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 – 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

Avoid after Dinner Snacks The most dangerous time to destroy your weight loss efforts and diet is after the last meal of the day, when you lie down in front of the TV with a pack of chips or a box of crisps and biscuits.

Exercise, period Most authorities recommend 30 – 60 minutes of physical activity a day to stay healthy. Also try adding weight-bearing exercises at least 2 times a week. This will help burn some of the unwanted calories. Lose weight with a friend, or join a support group

Weigh yourself once a week. Really, do not weigh yourself every day. Your weight fluctuates daily so you will drive yourself nuts by weighing every day.

Here are some of the exercises that help the best to lose weight:

Step Aerobics; Calories Burnt: 800 cal/hr This mainly targets your legs, hips and bum, which are often the areas that women most want to tone.

Bicycling; Calories Burnt: 500 – 1000 cal/hr Depending on how fast you go, this can be a real calorie burner.

Swimming; Calories Burnt: 800 cals/hr Doing lengths up and down the pool for an hour will burn off 800 calories, and also tone almost all of your body.

Walking; Calories Burnt: 360 cals/hr The easiest exercise, brisk walking is a great cardio workout and will also help tone legs, stomach and hips.

Dancing; Calories Burnt: 600/800 cal/hr this targets all over your legs, and is an excellent work out.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet.
