They are the ultimate summer footwear. There are models in all colors and for all tastes.

The plastic sandals appeared only after the Second World War, for obvious reasons, there was a severe shortage of raw materials, especially leather. There then arose the first models manufactured by a man named Jean Dauphant in 1946. According to legend, its creation was inspired in the sandals from local fishermen, who he reproduced in his plastics factory in Les Sarraix, Auvergne. The sarraiziene are designed for maritime hobby and leisure, meaning that they are plastic, flexible and without insoles, making them perfect for walking along the sea without damage. Remember when our mothers bought these sandals to walk on the stones, so we won't get hurt? I think is part of the childhood memories of many girls, as I they associate then with summer, vacation and beach. Well, after 64 years of that event, the plastic sandals which however fell into disuse and were considered by many to corny, this year are back into the spotlight, as a fashion icon in the international catwalks. The designers for the market launch several models in the stores that made wrath, more specifically with the female audience. The traditional model, called Medusa, transparent, despite the vicissitudes, remains as current as in 40 years ago. Currently, there are colors to suit all tastes, all shapes of feet and mothers continue to find practical, affordable and very fashionable these types of shoes for the little ones in the summer. And against the facts, no arguments.

Are merely guides to tailor your personality and dress according your age.

Be original or be fashionable? Risk or wait? Envy is a lack of creativity or a desire to be in your place? This is one of the challenges for those who want to address a first glance to this issue that appears to be somewhat futile, but it is not. You must know how to use the appropriate clothing at the right age, and it is this dichotomy that we address.
In adolescence, young people can basically use and abuse of all kinds of clothes, from the printing fabrics, to smooth and the many colorful, or just monochrome. A look that can range from the mini-skirts that at this age (14-19 years) are always well to the famous skinny jeans that crosses all ages.
At twenty, women seek to create a brand image and personal style that distances from the rest. It is a stage adaptation of the body forms. They seek to highlight this change with sexy and ultra-feminine clothes and exude sensuality. The short dress, high heels and tight clothing is the image of this girl-woman that follows every trend in fashion and at this stage many mistakes are made, just take a look at family albums. They discover also the eye makeup accentuates the dramatic flair of the set.

At age 30, is the period of maturity, overcome insecurities of the past, they already know what will look good. An image that shows only your best features and hide small imperfections that arise naturally in the body. At this stage, it should not wear any type of clothing. The length of skirts is a matter to be considered, although there are delicious short dresses that only contribute to enhance legs in great shape.

At age 40 is the phase of independence. It's supposed to be the time when women reach their sexual peak, but contrary to expectations, some try to tackle with the signs of aging by exaggerated too much creating a youthful image that is unsuited. Wrong. A woman of a certain maturity cannot compete with one young woman twenty years old. Our weapons are different. Clothing is a reflection of that. Using deep necklines to draw attention can give the impression of vulgarity. The focus is clearly on pieces with clean cut and yes, necklines, but more discreet. The mini-skirts and shorts should be avoided at all costs, as good as your pair of legs are. I know that Tina Turner was almost fifty and she was a killer lady, but it is a major exception and remember it was suitable for a visual spectacle, was part of her image as an artist on stage.

At age 50, there is a clear change in the bodies and the majority enters the menopause. These are the signs of time that must be handled with ease, so it should be more retro clothing, i.e., parts that do not emphasize the silhouette. I do not mean clothes that look like bags, but wider at the waist, tunics for example. They're beautiful, always make look good and they don't squeeze your waist. Bet also in accessories to create your look. In this period of our lives, the watchword for most is comfort, especially in footwear, however, there are models of shoes on the market, with heels that I call middle ground, neither too high nor too low, which help compose an image of sophistication you that you want at this age.

It was in America that first bra was patented. Nearly 100 hundred years later, is a cornerstone of women's clothing, however, there are women who still are unable to use the correct type.

The first bra to be patented was in the U.S. and was amazingly, was the work of a woman named Mary Shelby Jacob who took that endeavor in 1914. Tired of corsets that crushed her breasts, imposing a suffocating discomfort, with the help of a maid, she brought together two handkerchiefs tied with a ribbon color pink and a cord. She had 18 years. Unfortunately, for lack of imagination, or even a little bad luck, the sales of her invention was never significant, so she ended up selling the patent for $ 1.550 dollars to Warner Bros Corset. This company transformed the bra into an unparalleled sales success. To this day. Since the industrialization age this intimate piece became mandatory in any female wardrobe. It is essential for comfort and support of the breasts. It is evident that this invention with almost one hundred years, 97 to be precise, has undergone changes and modifications to the current format in various colors and fabrics. And if in sixties some exacerbated feminists burned their bras saying to be a symbol of male oppression, now we look at the bra like a piece of feminine allure.
In Portugal, according to a survey conducted by the Queen of Hearts in 2009, they clearly prefer the smooth bras instead of income. We are very practical at the time of purchase, so much so that when choosing the most important factor to consider is price. The preferred colors for the Portuguese are black, white and skin color, because they combine with most clothing. The bolder colors, like purple, red, yellow and green are the least appreciated for lingerie. They choose bras with hoops, and versatile padded. The styles the least appreciated are full-cup and bra comfort (without rims). Interestingly, despite having been invented by a woman, the vast majority uses inadequate numbers. About 75% of respondents do not know for sure their cups and in most cases it is wrong for your type of breast. A dissatisfaction that the vast majority of women attributed to pregnancy and gravity that provoked a very ugly chest. A pre-design idea that results of bad choices! The Queen of Hearts is a small business undertaken by two women who want to debunk some myths about the incorrect bra, above all they will teach her to use the piece best suited to your body. And the differences can be overwhelming, just take a peek at that site and enjoy the tips that they convey to buy a correct bra. If you prefer you can make an appointment and have a bra Fittings in the store. . Come on try it, you'll see that it does not hurt! In the end you gone wild and buy a very sexy red set.

The design has always been associated with the music world. It is a most significant alliance in the world of female artists

Fashion and music go hand in hand provided that this artistic expression needs to tread the stage. We can even call it symbiosis, because it benefits both parties. Making a step backwards in time, the divas of the time, the opera singers such as Maria Callas always known that the image is important. Taking every detail into account when creating the look of the artist, what it represents and how it is interpreted. It’s this stuff that creates myths. A universe even more poignant with female artists. They do not just play the music, they are an artistic identity that is presented before an audience and that is make-believe world where the best designer moves. Consider the case of Sonia Tavares, her iconic image in Amalia now, created by Storytailors. This pair was responsible for the entire wardrobe for the singer in the band's tour. A concept that may seem somewhat frivolous, but it is not. It is a question of identity, digital printing. Serves to demarcate the underlying image of the tour. The idea of Amalia, the singer, the diva was in black dresses and some of the Portuguese nation in the red, the huge hearts. The same process occurs in reverse. Music affects the designers in their collections since the world needs to be seen to exist. They were best known for their provocative models, the female band of the 80’s, the sweet, which inspired many garments that were worn by young teenagers at the time.

The paradigm of beauty in the twenty-first century is changing. A process that is important for brands since women are essential elements in the buying decision.

There is a time of year that women in general suffer in anticipation, just thinking about the prying eyes of criticism of the creatures of the same species, this period is the summer. It is the nightmare of each year for female who does not have the body of Gisele Bundchen. The eternal question, what is less evil to me, the hole bathing suit, or the bikini? How to eliminate cellulite in less than a month? And stretch marks how do we disguises them? And the varicose veins? All these questions are not of much concern in the winter for obvious reasons. So how do we deal with this situation? Shortly before the bathing season starts a cycle of compulsive buying creams and miracle pills that will supposedly solve, in record time, these small imperfections. It is curious how related industries with feminine beauty make millions of profit at the expense of our insecurities. Think about it. How many anti-cellulite creams have you acquired throughout your adult life, that little or no result was patently demonstrated in your skin? Many, I know. I also did the same, until I account of its inefficiency and did not have to see the program of Dr. Oz to confirm this scientific fact, I just look at a few points on my legs that persisted in keeping that famous skin orange effect. Not to mention the other more radical methods that promise weight loss over accumulated over the years in immediate time. Aside from the expensive beauty treatments that promise to reassert their skin in a few days. So why subject ourselves to this, when unconsciously we have the notion of poor results?

Because the aesthetic beauty has always had a role in the success of the species. Plus, for women. Over the centuries, the role of women in the social context has always been relegated to a lower plane. We were seen as a means of propagation of the species, or as a mere sexual object of men. In this uneven landscape, women eventually enforce their status through canons of beauty over the centuries, some of which of an unprecedented cruelty. Just remember the bodice, killed, yes killed and crippled thousands of women who wanted to achieve the desired waist. If you reflect for a while and it will just take a look at history, many of these precepts of aesthetic beauty were created by men in order to keep women trapped in the area of ​​the home. To illustrate this point, the Chinese fetish for small feet, induce a barbaric act that for centuries deformed permanently Chinese girl that prevented them from walking.

The beauty just won a primary status in social interaction. There is no secret that a beautiful woman was more likely to achieve a high social gold by their physical appearance than for their intellectual capabilities. But the role of women has changed radically in the last century. With the process of their emancipation society had to change and it was necessary to make adjustments. However, if beauty is in the past was essential social descent, currently is used to convey beauty brands. We are bombarded daily with thousands of images of women ideals, tall, thin, with perfect breasts, a gorgeous hair without any physical defect in sight. This new paradigm of beauty has been responsible for the exponential development of plastic surgery and a series of treatments that will transform you in such a model is supposed aesthetic effect. With high costs evidently. Scientific development has a price and is only accessible to few. The other mortals must be content by buying products that clearly almost never work out and are dangerous in terms of health risks, like some crazy diets. My county? There are no miracle drugs. Do what is repeated over and over and ignore. Eat a healthy way and do exercise every day throughout the year. Above all accepted yourself as who you are. We cannot be Gisele Bundchen. Fancy and treat yourself every day. But be aware that Cambridge University is finalizing a study that indicates that women sympathize more with brands that they convey something in common, with which they can identify. Unlike companies that use the conventional images of perfect models with which the vast majority do not feel any empathy. This is undoubtedly the century of women.

Summer is conducive to the greater use of this critical piece of any female wardrobe.

Skirts are believed to have had its origin in the primitive woman, wearing a hunting excess skin wrapped around the waist. In the Mesolithic period. In ancient times in Sumerian, 3000 BC, there are statues with pieces that resemble the shape of a longer skirt, as we currently conceived. The idea expands and eventually was adopted by other civilizations. In the Middle Ages curiously, with the emergence of a new piece female, the bodice, the most distant relative of the corset, the skirt appears as a complement been very long, with pleats, aimed primarily cover the legs and ankles in particular, one of most erogenous zones in those eras. Forbidden fruit is always coveted. In the following centuries, were richly embroidered skirts and even had tails. Clearly, the longest and finest fabrics were only accessible to ladies of the nobility. With the beginning of the industrial revolution and the emergence of a new social class, the bourgeoisie, it was necessary to create clothing that identifies this new group. So these female parts were replaced by the pannier, and even that grew laterally to two meters wide, this piece was placed on this frame and finally the petticoat skirt. In the nineteenth century, as wasn't bad enough the use the corset to make a smaller waist, the skirt finally shrinks an inch and a woman can say is liberated. However, it appears an artifact that resembles the tail of an insect, called a bustle that allowed highlight the most erogenous zone at the time of the female body. The very name betrays a bit of the anatomy of the area referred to. The knees appear only in the beginning of the twentieth century, in the 1920's, and then yes we can speak of a fluid silhouette, no longer women wear corsets, or other products aimed the changing the female body. Only in 60's, the real revolution happens, the Mary Quant miniskirt. It was the break with all kinds of conventions and stereotypes that led to the burning of bras, seen as a part of women's oppression. The men were the ones who no doubt wan this whole process, because since then, various lengths change depending on trends, or the taste of women. The odd thing is this little summary was in the end trying to understand why women over the centuries to subject themselves voluntarily, and continue to do so in other forms and against all odds try to change its nature, their physical appearance, and subjecting then selves to the most terrible treatment.

Fashion will always get much of its inspiration from urban tribes, so the gothic move will mark trends for this Autumn-Winter of 2011.

The Gothic despite appearances is not just a movement of people who wear black, feeding a death wish, or longing for the darker side of their existence. It is a subculture in essence, as reported by Milena Monteiro, in her monograph "fashion and urban tribes," "is a new world view that was being formed in the early '80s. They no longer dream of a better world, this one is already lost, is a feeling of hopelessness, of introspection that takes account of a generation. The young man in 1980 has linked to this vision, a sense of resignation that comes and revolutionized replacing every feeling that is lost with the punks. Thus, it can be said that the inherited feelings and Gothic styles. And through this heritage that could be analyzed in common with a medieval style and found on a Mohawk, even enjoying music of different styles, both are gothic " .To emphasize this difference, branding this style, the closes had always an important role regarding the urban tribes and the gothic movement this aspect has a lot of weight in shaping their identity."They accept a wide variety of looks. Coats, corsets, Victorian style clothing, eyes and lips made up with dark colors and parts such as crucifixes, pentagrams and anks (crosses representing the Egyptian afterlife). They are objects that are part of the pagan cultures. Often use pieces of dark colors to achieve a more dramatic effect. So black is the most used, "as stated by the scholar. Although the Gothic style is still not very accepted by society in general, but tolerated, the fact is that the movement has influenced fashion trends cyclically. The designers are inspired by this very visual language defined transporting that, with its own interpretation, to national and international catwalk. This season of Autumn-winter is an example. The trends are charged with dramatic makeup, a well cut pieces with dark colors to the accessories with the most emblematic items that will flood the market this year.

The accessories are a staple of this season. Still not found what you want, let me make you a suggestion?

The workshop “is more to my taste” one of the proposals I have for this summer. Helen Teixeira's creations are the mirror of the romantic tendencies of this year. It bets in tissues full of bright colors and huge floral patterns, home to many details as she claims, and that are also very trendy. I give particular emphasis to the clutches of the collection divas, a name indeed very appropriate, are simply wonderful and very retro, the festival of riotous tones in various formats. If you’re a woman XL, there are also models made in tissues with ethnic inspirations, the choice is perhaps the most difficult. The purses and pencil holder is another of the visual delights of this creative, the unusual choice of patterns and shades that contrast with the interior, just simply open the bags. One of the pieces that most aroused my curiosity and admiration in a very positive way, amaze ... was the baby’s bibs. It's true. They are unlike anything I've ever seen. Makes an unexpected gift for a future mummy. In fact, the sources of inspiration to this creation were her daughters.

The wardrobe is one of the most important parts of a movie. The pre-production of "bullets and cookies" in terms of collection of clothing lasted almost a month between visits to second- hand shops and personal wardrobes. A detailed work undertaken by the costume designer Joanna Veloso.

How you design the wardrobe for this movie?
Joana Veloso: The wardrobe of this film was intended to individualize each character. The four characters had very personal styles and also have to take into account the characteristics of this film. I tried to adapt, as indeed we did in previous years. We created a brand image for each. For the rest there are many extras and lots of new characters that had to be thought of in terms of clothing.

How do you make de selection for each of these groups?
JV: For those who have speech have a wardrobe already defined, as every role they will play in the movie. In this particular scenario, is a gipsy camp I had to adapt much, because I did not know the people and had to improvise. I chose the maximum of clothes through a survey of images of gypsies and chose the pieces to make a funny set.

Where did you get the clothes?
JV: Especially in second-hand shops, my house and ask people to bring as well. You can adapt a lot, with a belt or an accessory, you can invent much.

How did you get here?
JV: I work a lot in theater and had some experience in films. They knew my work and contacted me.

What is the difference between thinking a wardrobe for the bullets and the theater?
JV: The costumes are dependent on each company, each director and concept. In theater we can play much more, because of the distance on stage everything is different. We can work with textures, lights and stage depth. Here, the film is more real, we tailor all, because the film requires it, not to ridicule any of the characters.

What is the character who is most challenging for you?
JV: It is undoubtedly the mouse. It's a fine line. We cannot ridicule this character too much. He has a funny image. I am always overcoming that boundary, and exaggerated. I notice sometimes went too far, push the envelope too much, so that's very challenging.

It is a protected species, but does not gather the sympathies of the Portuguese population. Canis Lupis signatus, scientific name, is one of the most misunderstood animals in our country.

The Iberian wolf populations continue to decline in our territory, although they are protected by law. According to a national survey, 1600 to 1700 of this species are still breading in our country. A decrease is attributed to several factors including the scarcity of its natural prey, some herbivores that had been progressively disappearing from our forests, due to pressure exerted on hunting these animals. The destruction of the natural habitat of these canids is another point to consider, due to human pressure, deforestation and fires, the canis lupus signatus disappeared, retreating to areas with greater forest density. But the reason that weighs even more in this equation is the persecution and poaching of these animals by people. Although the legal framework, providing for the creation of protected areas to avoid confrontation, particularly in the Natural Park of Montesinos and heavy fines in the event of slaughter, the fact is that the wolf is the scapegoat for generations of a series of ailments that are directly assigned, hence the fear and hatred.
Deeper in the villages of Portugal were counted legends and stories about this canid that embodies evil, "the powers of evil vicious animal, whose mere observation or hearing could lead to dire consequences such as paralysis of the body, spirit possession or obscure attraction hideous occult powers of the moon "as the study " the Iberian wolf in Portugal " reveals, directed by A.M. Nunes. Unfounded beliefs that led almost to the extermination of these specimens in our country, hence the need to dispel these misconceptions and preconceived ideas.
The Iberian wolf as a rule only lives in wolf packs with a maximum of five individuals in winter and ten in summer, an increased number due to pupies. Usually feeds on wild herbivores, deer, or wild boar that also wanders through the forest. They are nocturnal animals, a period in which they are most active. Unlike many of his counterparts are smaller, measuring 131 cm and weighing no more than 30 pounds. They are not dangerous to humans, usually avoiding any contact, due to the factors described above, the Iberian wolves prey on domestic animals as the result of the scarcity of their preferred prey. However, many of the cattle mutilations that occur in some rural areas, is caused by packs of hounds abandoned and erroneously attributed to wolves. Remember the man's best friend, your dog is a descendant of these wild animals. Therefore, more tolerance, please.
