The maxi dress is certainly no new trend, celebrities love the long flowing dresses and it’s a favorite among stars such as Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, and many more. It’s also a favorite among pregnant women, probably for it’s slimming ability.
Even though the dress has been quite popular for awhile, it didn’t quite catch my eye until this season. I think with the help of all the pretty and funky prints, bright colors, bold accessories and shoes, the maxi dress is looking better than ever. Yet, I still find myself maxi-less, but I will find the perfect one.
You have to be very choosy when picking out the perfect maxi dress. The shape and cut is very important, try a dress that fits your body the right way, or you’ll look like your wearing a garbage bag.
Women with large breast should try a halter dress with thick straps to offer support. And, if you think your figure isn’t right for the dress, like, you think you’re too big - think again. Try a solid-colored dress rather than a print that will make you appear larger than you are.
One thing I really love about the maxi dress is it can be dressed up by adding accessories. Wear it at the beach during the day, then a hot date by night. Again, it also really depends on the dress and the shoes you wear with it - gladiator sandals, wedges, flip flops, and even the right heels can look good with a maxi dress. If you’re petite like me I think the heels would be a good idea. Read the rest of this entry »

After months of complaining about my website’s frequent downtime and errors, I finally made the move over to a new host. It took me a couple hours last night, it was easy moving the files but moving the Wordpress database was a little confusing…I was being a ditz and looking too deep into it, but I finally figured it out. Everything seems to be working fine, I had to fix a couple plugins but now everything looks alright. My webcam image even changed! For some reason when I was updating it before the image stayed the same? It was really pissing me off, and it must have had something to do with my old host. Stay away from Pixelled Solutions!! Unless you like frequent downtime, database errors, and no responses then give them a shot. I’m with VoNetwork now and they seem great. I’ve heard good things about them, and they set my account up right away. Plus, I’m only paying $20 for the whole year with 200mb of space and 2,000mb of bandwidth - such a great deal! Their lowest plan starts at $10 for the whole year! Can you tell I have an affiliate account with them? Bish betta have my money!
Hopefully I won’t have to deal with anymore headaches when it comes to my website.
I’m so tired. I think the boyfriend and I have a fun-filled day planned for tomorrow, so I must go to bed now. No more staying up until 7am Crystal!
PS. Add me on Plurk lovers.

While browsing a Women’s World magazine, I found this fun Do-it-yourself project and thought it would be a great idea to share it. I have yet to try it out myself, but it looks easy and makes a great “I’m bored” activity…
Modern ribbon charm bracelets are a new trend that you may have seen celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Naomi Watts sportin’ on their wrists. Yet while their designers versions cost hundreds (the bracelet pictured left retails for $110 at Saks Fifth Avenue), you can make your own with just a few dollars and a little time. Let’s get crafty up in here!
