I love wearing dresses especially the dress that can me look stylish and chic. The key to have a simple outfit yet people turn heads because they notice your presence is the right match of accessories and confidence. Take a look of what I found on Modcloth.com, some nice pieces that can make your chic dress into something unique.

Spring/Summer is always the right time to look for the trends, because you know most of the styles are going to be around for a few months. Also, after the dark theme of the fall and winter, the summers make way for fresh colours and designs. If you are looking for Spring/Summer 2014 trends, here’s a list of the top picks.

1. Go metallic: While this is not something you haven’t seen before, metallic looks work because the colours are not staples for the summers and spring. The best thing about the current looks is the choice of patterns, which is not restricted to one colour but moves ahead to many shades and even the rainbow hues. There are skirts, dresses and accessories to choose from.

2. Go mesh style: If you are someone who dares to bare, get a good camisole and top it with a transparent or mesh outfit. The more you explore in the designs, the better, but this is one of the best trendy designs for the upcoming season. Black and white are great choices for that more stylish look, but given the fact that pastels are hot options, you can try them as well.

3. Go pastel with the palette: Floral for spring and summer is something we are always used to, which is why the choice of pastel colour as the spring essential is a good welcome change. Seen at most of the designers, the colours are versatile, starting from the beautiful rose and lavender shades to more cool shades of yellow and blue. Pick the single colours or opt for patterns- the choices are varied as ever.

4. Go the crop style: The Crop Tops are one of the hottest properties for spring this year. Spotted in DKNY Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection among others, the looks are different and stylish by all means. Of course, you need to get in shape for trying the style, but this is totally worth the time you spend at the gym. The black and white combination was something that was seen in most fashion weeks, but if you love the pastel clothes online and on the runways- choose them too!

5. Go white: Just mentioned that black and white have been among the trending colours of the season, but the statement white blouses seemed to be a total hit. Lovely designs and simply cool enough for casual and formal look, this is one look that can be experimented with. While some designers seemed to love the look with embellishments, there were others who styled their models with shirts having necktie detailing. Choose what suits you because the occasion often determines what you wear.

Happy styling for the spring and summer!

Looking for an all-day-breakfast-diner around the southern part of the metro? It is time to visit Ritchie’s Diner at BF Homes, Paranaque City. They have loads of dishes to choose from their menu. The place is located along Aguirre Avenue. You can easily spot it with its striking yellow interiors and with its American-diner-vibe.

Like the technology of photography itself, the practice of wedding photography has evolved and grown since the invention of the photographic art form. The wedding photography its an industry that evolved fast in the last 2 decades together with the digital and technological development.. The fact that it has become a whole industry has a positive impact on the photographers and on the clients. The competitive market of the wedding photography gives us the opportunity to get to chose the photographers we want, the style that fits us the best and even the cameras and the lights that can make us prettier. A good example of it could be the San Francisco Wedding Photography market. It offers distinct services, prices and styles.

Nowadays, we are all used to see high quality wedding pictures with some different themes and with stunning backgrounds, but it wasn’t the same ten years ago.

Even if the industry is changing constantly, there is something that stays the same, it is the love that brings people together and gives them the ruling passion to organize a celebration of hearts and feelings. So this event, now with all the technology can be captured and transformed into digital characters or framed pictures. Those megapixels have the capacity of caring a lot of fire and love. If you want to jump with the parachute and with your wedding dress on it’s okay, because today even the craziest parachute jump can be transfigured into an image. That image would be the forever win over the world for you. Pictures in water, oceans and pools are not a problem anymore for the cameras. There are more and more couples getting married every day that tend to do something different and they do have the opportunity to do so. Isn’t this one of the coolest things you can show to your kids and grand kids? High resolution photos from the top of Everest, or in the middle of Sahara of you and your hubby when getting married, of course only if you could and want to do so, or the typical wedding portrait but in this awesome high quality. People do realize how big is to have memories and the wedding photos are pure memories that were once our best moments. Because it all goes so fast and the time passes, we are always trying to leave something behind us. Everything else is going to be forgotten, eventually remembered only through our photographs. The wedding is the event that counts the most in our paper photo albums and Facebook albums, once we get married, we tend to give it some kind of special place when it comes to organizing the wedding.

A memory of a great evening that celebrates two people becoming a family it’s definitely a priority when it comes to what we have to remember in the first place, when it all come to an end. Life is short, we have to live it up and keep the best moments alive.

Misery and desperation are deeply etched on the faces of the millions of victims of super typhoon Yolanda, not knowing where to get their next meal or how to rebuild their broken homes and lives and how to cope with the loss of their loved ones. Chaos is widespread as the citizenry have nowhere to go for basic services: there is no electricity, no water services, no communications and worse no local government service to speak of. The typhoon victims have to literally fend for themselves.

Goods.ph in partnership with the Philippine National Red Cross, is undertaking a charitable cause that offers RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE for the typhoon victims that one can avail for donation purposes. We are encouraging our customers to avail our special RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE from our site to enable them to donate to the typhoon victims online. You can also donate even a single bottled water, this is in align with our motto that everyone can help even in their own little ways. For fair distribution, we will be forwarding these items to the office of Red Cross.

Aside from the RELIEF GOODS PACKAGE that you will buy to donate to typhoon victim, Goods.ph will also give an amount of 30 pesos for every donation package bought by our customers to proceed to Red Cross Philippines. In hindsight, this is only the tip of the iceberg! It will take months if not years to rebuild a province literally wiped out from the face of the earth. After this transition, the harder part of constructing homes and infrastructure will be the next phase. This will surely take years to accomplish not to mention a staggering budget!

The litmus test for the survivors and Filipinos in general is how well they will cope with the situation since it will take years to recover from typhoon Yolanda.

Photographer has a lot of advantages when taking pictures of a city. After all, there are thousands of houses, trees and people, situations, feelings, collisions which you can use for the creation of your masterpieces. Going out to a spacious street and looking around at the sides, you can always find a detail that others failed not notice. Every house, shot from a certain angle, can become a unique, marvelous work of art, every car, standing on an unusual side or having an stupendous color, will stand out among the other, each tree on the background of a skyscraper turns into a majestic silhouette, a beautiful creation of nature. All these things will arise before you like the sun in the East, only if you will be patient and thoughtful enough to see them. Some think that making photos of the city is simple, because the city stands still, there is no need to catch its every glance or a sparkle in its eyes, but it is a delusion. A city, such as New York, for example, is incredible hard to catch on tape, while presented every shadow of a crowdie street, every face of every stranger, the composition and the rhythm – each of these nuances completes the portrait of the city, which trembles and changes every moment.

The best time to shoot for a New York Photographer is early in the morning. When the people, its blood, are not yet flowing down its vein, the streets, the city appears to be peaceful and tranquil. It is the only time, when you can sense the breath of the city itself, as it is, not overflowed by the crowds hungry for emotion, attention, miracles. In the morning you can take advantage of the services of the benevolent nature, which is capable of creating beauty as no man will ever try. The bright, gleaming dew on the leaves of the trees will twinkle and shine with millions of tiny sparks in your photos. The gentle morning sun will illuminate the empty streets of the sleepless city, filling its air with weightless, invisible life energy, awakening New York to another day.

Since there are few cars on the road, you can, for example, photograph the center line on the background of a beautiful fountain or a lone car, lost in the web of urban roads. In general, in the morning in almost no traffic, which helps to concentrate and find the right place for making a masterpiece.

New York views at night are no less beautiful. Especially when the ardent sun hides behind the horizon, but its rays still shine over the skyline of the exhausted city. It can be used as a background or even the central object of the photo, depending on the topic and the character of the work. It is obvious, that the evening light is not enough for a nice and bright picture, so it deprives you of many opportunities in accenting the details or embracing a large panorama. Instead, it gives you unique silhouettes, radiant atmosphere and strikingly beautiful light.

At night the city ceases to look familiar. At night, the conventional solar lighting is replaced by the spotlights and flashlights, and they give off an urban way out of the darkness night.

Broken by the artificial light, the night hides and sneaks in the corners, in the shadows, in the dark doorways, in the tired eyes of the people passing by, in the dark windows of cars, in the faceless glass spaces of the city. This harmony between insane relentless modernity and original, imperishable darkness the camera is able to grasp. The game of the weak light and all-consuming darkness gives unique effects which create such sentiments in the photo which no artificial filter is able to give.

In general, the city is incomprehensibly difficult to photograph correctly. Especially difficult to photograph New York, which continually changes, lives and moves in some exclusive, elusive, perfect pace. It never slows down, never stops even for a moment, so to look into its face is unbearably difficult. This unbearably difficult step can be taken with the help of the photography. It catches the slightest expression, a glare, the spikes, not only slowing down, but stopping the continuous rhythm of the sleepless city for a fraction of a second, making it possible to understand its dark, bright, beautiful, bottomless, endless, diverse soul.
