Any changes? Did we make your life easier? So, the next portion of fixes we be of great value as well.

• Stuck Zipper

  First run a lead pencil along the teeth, if this does not work rub a bar of soap or a wax candle onto the problem area. With a little manipulation, the zipper should come unstuck.

• Loose Buttons/Fraying Button Threads

  A loose button can quickly turn into a missing button. Dab the top of the button with a little clear nail polish to prevent it from completely falling off. Re-sew it back on firmly ASAP.

• Sweater Snags

  Never cut a snag off as this will cause the garment to unravel, instead use a snag needle. Instantly the sweater looks like new!

• Broken Drawstrings

  Purchase a new draw string from a haberdashery store. Tie on to the end of the string a large safety pin and thread it through the garment.

• Pilled Sweaters

  These can be removed either with a lint sand paper (rub across sweater to remove pills) or a pill razor; an apparatus much like a man's shaver that is used to shave the pills off a sweater. Don't just stand there pulling lint off yourself! Sticky tape works well for this.

Life is so unexpected and unpredictable; sometimes it is impossible to foresee everything and to cope with different annoying things and unplanned events! But you must be ready to any emergencies: you're running to a meeting and you get a snag in your stockings, you are dancing at a party and you snap a heel, or you're at a wedding when you notice the hem of your dress has fallen. Of course, there is no perfect advice but I can, at least, try to prepare you to these inconveniences! And equipped with knowledge you'll be on the top of the world!

The following 10 tips will help not to lose your temper in a critical situation:

• Makeup Stains

Wet, baby or just make-up wipes are ideal for removing or reducing makeup stains on clothing. They also come in handy for removing lint from clothing and dirt from shoes. Be careful! Do not try to remove any stains from silk or you'll spoil it.

Slipping Bra Straps

There is nothing more annoying than forever having to pull your bra straps back up onto your shoulders. There are three main tips for avoiding this.

Use the same double-sided tape as above to stick the strap to your shoulder. Cut and re-sew the back straps further in toward the centre of your back, and purchase bra clasps — these are attached at the back and pull the two back straps together, however you will need a second person to do this for you. Slipping Pants Hem

Hem pants looking from your stylish denims.Oh! It's not beautiful, it is grossly and dowdy! You shouldn't be read like an open book! You must be mysterious!

Panty Hose Runs A small run in panty hose can soon develop into a full fledged tear. You can get into a bad mood and even get anger! And your business partners, friends, colleagues will treat you like a slut! Use clear nail polish over the run to stop it spreading. Static Cling This often happens with skirts. For a fix on the run, rub hand cream into your thighs (through panty hose if necessary). The best way of preventing static cling is to spray anti static spay to the inside of your skirt. You can buy this at supermarkets.

There’s no excuse not to adapt a fast, five-minute, natural make-up routine that can get you out of the house looking refreshed everyday.

Believe in yourself, feel that you are beautiful and you will be! As a result, your self-confidence and self-esteem will boost to an incredible height!
• Don't make fashion idols! No doubts, most of us want to find the fashion medium between Jennifer Lopez and Kate Moss, also to possess Angelina's Jolly face and her husband, sing as Madonna sings, earn money as Bill Gates earns and not to became puzzled! But, it's impossible to make a decent mix from all these or to adopt their style to your curves, adding your own personal funk and as a result to look like a newborn star! The most suitable way is to find a fashion icon that inspires you and take note of how her personal style stands out and what you can do to make it yours!
• Educate yourself! Flip the pages of fashion magazines, check out designerrunway photos, window shop in the most stylish stores, take a walk around the trendier part of your town, and just plain soak it all in. Immerse yourself in style until you actually get the difference between what is blah and what is stunning. Soon, you will be able to hone in on what would look fantastic on you.
• Make the from what you've got! Surely, your entire wardrobe isn't a complete fashion disaster. It may be as simple as understanding different ways to mix pieces that you already own with a few great, new fashion fixes to truly upgrade your style. Think out of the box and pair the unexpected for stylish results. Don't afraid to make experiments and try new fashions! Ask a reliable friend/boyfriend/mum to evaluate your appearance!
• Set your limits! They say, don't go to the supermarket on an empty stomach, well, don't go shopping for a new wardrobe totally clueless, without having a confident decision what to buy. Have a mental list of what you actually need and stick to it. This way, you won't be lured into buying frivolous sale items that will break your budget and do nothing to enhance your total look. Temper your will and not me tempted by cheap, dowdy things!
