Christmas card photo for this year

Cara came as "Fire" in a theme with her sister (see below) who came as "Ice". She wore J9's great wig (remember Halloween last year?) and made her top. I love the fringe!

Cara and Erin, her sister. I'd never met Erin before, but she was really nice. Don't they make quite the pair?! :)

Cara and Erin....I think this should be their Christmas card photo for this year, don't you think?

Wait, maybe THIS ONE should be their Christmas photo. ;) I'm so bad. :)

And, finally, their rear ends that say "fire" and "ice". Erin's tattoo says "Made n Texas". :) Yee-HAW, I say.

New Year Party Dress Ideas








After all the hard work all year round, you deserve a New Year bash. New Year bash means, music, drinks, food and good looks. You need to look the best on the New Year bash as it is a belief that what you are on the first day of New Year, it remains the same for the rest of the year. Thus, you need to dress up at your best and look beautiful, so that you look the same all throughout the upcoming year. So, what should be your New Year party dress?

New Year Party Dress Ideas
1.The colour of 2011 is Honeysuckle - the beautiful blend of pink and red. Wear a short and backless dress. You can team it up with a sweater dress of the same colour to keep you warm and stylish on the way to the party.

2.Wear a silver or gold stilettos to match with the short Honeysuckle dress. If silver and gold seem to be bright colours, that's how it is supposed to be. It's celebration. The more jubilation the better.

3.Wear a nude make-up with glitter eye make-up.

4.Accessories regain their importance in the fashion world in 2011. Thus, chunky belts and scarves should be a part of your dressing. A sleek anklet with a matching bracelet will serve the purpose.

5.This season the short hairstyle is in the trend. Pull up your hair in a bun, leaving few strands gets playing around the neck to show off your dress. The ideal would be to cut your hair short.

6.As for lipstick shades the colours in trend are pink, brown and peach. Gloss is also in trend. Apply the shade which suits your skin tone and apply gloss to make them look supple.

7.Last but not the least wear the right attitude with your New Year party dress.
