Overalls have come back big time. It used to be one of my favourite things to wear when I was in high school, even during the fresh years in Uni. But overalls are not just for teenagers, they are for everybody, regardless of the age. There are so many variations of overalls so choose however you want to wear them, fitted or relaxed.

Most common types of overall:

Today, more people than ever are traveling. And not just for work! Of the domestic trips taken in the past year alone, 74% were for leisure. Travel is a great way to expand your worldview, and the memories you make along the way are more than worth the trip. For anyone looking to get out and see exciting new destinations, the airport is an essential part of that journey. So why not make the most of this incredible journey and travel in style? Here are some style tips to help you make the most out of the first leg of your journey.

Wear Shoes You Can Slip In and Out Of

When planning any outfit, picking out the right pair of shoes is a must. You’ll likely have to take your shoes off when going through airport security. You want to have a pair of shoes you’re comfortable walking in, but you don’t want to hold up the security line because you can’t get those shoes off. Slip-on shoes like flats or clogs are best. You’re going to spend a lot of time walking around in these shoes, not only in the airport, but also exploring the fantastic place you’re traveling to. Investing in a good pair of shoes is a must for any style-savvy traveler.

Be Comfortable but Classy

You don’t have to dress like you’re going to a dinner party, but you also don’t want to dress like you just got out of bed. In the airport, you can get away with sweatpants and t-shirts, but you don’t want to pick out pieces that look ratty. Lighter fabrics like modal, cotton, and linen are best, especially if you’re traveling somewhere warm. When shopping for clothes, capris are a great alternative if sweatpants feel too casual, and you could even get away with a comfy dress. When traveling, you should also make sure to layer. The airport could be freezing cold, but when you get inside the airplane, it may feel like a sauna. Buy a cardigan that you can easily fold up and store in your bag when you don’t need it. 

The Hassle Is Worth It

Remember in a matter of hours, you’re going to be in a whole new place taking in incredible sights! If what you’re wearing helps you feel relaxed, you’re going to feel even more relaxed when you take off. Which is why picking out the right clothing to wear in an airport is so important. So between packing your checked bag and making sure you have your boarding pass, take a moment to figure out what you’re going to wear to the airport. It’s a small thing that will tremendously improve your travel experience.

Has the time come for you to completely overhaul your approach to fashion? Your own personal style might be feeling a little crusty and dull by now, so making big changes could help you to get to where you want to be. There’s no reason why you can’t make yourself feel more
comfortable and more confident each and every day. So here are some signs that you really do need to overhaul your fashion right now.

You Spend Too Much Time Choosing Your Outfit Each Morning

That feeling you get when you head to your wardrobe and desperately try to find something that you want to wear is never fun. Not knowing what to wear and not feeling that anything in your
wardrobe is suitable or appealing is a sure sign that you need to overhaul things in this department sooner rather than later. And it’s something you should probably get started on today.

Your Clothes Don’t Fit You Any More

When you have a whole bunch of clothes that are all a bit too big or all a bit too small, you need to make changes ASAP. This proves that it’s been a long time since you last properly invested
in your wardrobe. After all, fashions changes, which means what kind of fit is in vogue changes too. Or maybe your body size has changed over the years but your wardrobe hasn’t caught up
yet. Either way, changes are required.

You Are Bored By What You Have

Boredom is always a sign that the time has come to make stylistic changes to your wardrobe.
What once seemed appealing to you might feel dull and boring now, and that’s only natural. Our opinions and preferences change, so you need to change your approach to style and fashion too.

You Have No Idea What’s Fashionable Today and What’s Not

If you have no idea at all what’s fashionable and what’s not right now, that’s a sure sign
that you need to completely overhaul your approach to style. Get back in touch with the world of fashion wear and see what people are wearing. Simply paying more attention to the people around you and what they’re wearing will have an impact. You can then use this to improve your own style.

You Haven’t Been on a Shopping Binge in a Long Time

If it’s been a long, long time since you went all out on a big clothes shopping binge, it might be time to go for it. As long as you have a budget in mind and don’t spend more than your able to,
this could be a really good thing for you. Your wardrobe will be immediate revitalised in one fell
swoop, and that’s got to be a good thing.

It’s up to you how you go about overhauling your wardrobe, but you should definitely do your best to make it happen. You will feel so much better about yourself when you love what you’re wearing, and you won’t spend so long choosing what to wear when you get out of bed each morning.

Has the time come for you to completely overhaul your approach to fashion? Your own personal
style might be feeling a little crusty and dull by now, so making big changes could help you to
get to where you want to be. There’s no reason why you can’t make yourself feel more
comfortable and more confident each and every day. So here are some signs that you really do
need to overhaul your fashion right now.
You Spend an Age Choosing Your Outfit E

It’s one of the biggest ‘NOOOO’s that may happen to every girl. A broken nail. This super unpleasant situation can spoil a very important day or event, but, fortunately, there are some methods how to fix a cracked nail very fast.

First of all, it should be underlined that the best way to deal with the problem is to prevent it.  Why do nails break? One of the most common reasons is the influence of external factors such as rapid change of temperature (which is very common in winter). What is more, it’s not good if you pay too much attention to your manicure since the overuse of chemicals may cause dehydration as the consequence. One more important moment is that in order to avoid such unpleasant problem as fragile nails you should pay attention to the general condition of your body. Make sure that you get enough minerals and vitamins.

But if you already have a broken nail and very little time to fix it you still may try to do diy split nail repair. Just remember that your hands or feet should be perfectly clean without dirt or oils on it.

1.   Special mending glue. If you are lucky enough to have your own manicure kit you may use special mending glue for broken nail. You need to apply the glue on the top of the nail and pay special attention to the zone of conjunction. But make sure to be very careful since this chemical may cause irritation or even allergic reaction.
2.   Transparent nail polish or top coat. If you have a crack or the nail is slightly broken you can go without nail glue. You may try to apply a considerable amount of a clean nail polish or top coat if it’s strong enough, of course. It’s not the best way out, but it can really help you in an emergency.
3.   Special paper. In nail kits you might come across special nail mending material. It’s a very thin, half-transparent fibrous piece of paper. All you need to do is to cut out a small piece of it, but I should be a little bit larger than the broken part of the nail. Apply it on the top of the nail, smooth and make sure here are no bubbles, buff and trim it. After that, apply nail glue (if you have) and cover it with a top coat or a transparent nail polish.
4.   Tea bag/coffee filter. These are very DIY split nail repair methods but they really work. The procedure is very similar to the previous point. You need to cut a piece of the tea bag or coffee filter, apply it on the top of the nail and make sure it perfectly fits the nail. It may be a bit harder to do than in the previous case so you need to be very precise.
5.   Tape. You may also try a regular tape to fix your broken nail. The biggest advantage of this method is that the tape is fully transparent and smooth. At the same time this material is very flexible so you need to deal it very carefully.

These are just 5 small tips not to fix your broken nail very easy and fast, but, anyway, it is always better to avoid such situation. So make sure that you get enough nutrients (especially, calcium). You shouldn’t overburden your nails with chemicals and super fancy design; finally, find your best length of nails and nail polishes (roal blue nails) so you will be able to enjoy your nice manicure without cracks and fractures.

People get involved with a radio control hobby in a few different ways. Some are immediately attracted to building and entering vessels into the many shows, exhibitions, and regattas held for hobbyists each year. Others begin with traditional model ships and find the hobby evolves to include RC model boats. Whether this is your first build or you are an expert model builder, you can find a high quality RC sailboat to add to your collection from Premier Ship Models.

Whether you are just getting started in the hobby or buying a new speed boat for an upcoming race, you can find a large selection of ready-made radio control boats at premiershipmodels.com.au.

Types of RC Ships & Boats

When shopping for RC model boats, there are several factors to consider, such as the size and type of boat, how you plan to use it, and performance. Some types of models to consider include large RC boats, RC hull boats, gas powered boats, scale boats, race and speed boats. How do you plan to use the boat? The options for RC models include sailing for recreation, fun with a group of friends, or participating in a show or competition racing event.

There are many types of RC boats to choose from, such as tugboats, tankers, trawlers, power boats, catamarans, speed boats and racing boats. If you plan to race your boat, either with friends or in a competition, look for speed boats with aerodynamic designs for great performance on the water. Some racing boats require some skill and experience, as it can be challenging to keep the boat in the lane.

If you are more interested in enjoying sailing, rather than racing, an RC sailboat or RC yacht model may be the best option for you. There are different types and colors of sailboats and model yachts that are perfect for sailing on a pond. The Joysway Dragonforce yacht, Caribbean sailboats, and catamaran yachts always look great on the water.

Regardless of the type of ship or boat you intend to use, you want your boat to look great on the water and perform well. Choose quality RC boats from well-known and respected brand for reliable performance. Many RC model boats are sold ready to use, so you can get right out on the water. When selecting a boat, pay attention to product descriptions to make sure the model you are considering has the parts and accessories required to deliver the performance you want.

Performance and control are always important when using a model on the open water, but even more important when participating in a race or competition. Some models are equipped with safety gears and additional features that are designed to improve performance and enhance control.

We spend a lot of our lives in our work clothing. Whilst some dress codes are fairly restrictive, many smart casual dress codes offer a lot of freedom, and yet many of still choose to stick to the same drab clothes day in and day out. Spicing up your work wardrobe could help bring more excitement to your morning routine and could make you feel happier and more confident throughout the day. Here are just a few small ways that you can make your work outfit more exciting.

Try bold colours

There’s no need to settle for blacks, greys and beige. Many bright colours can still be made formal. Colour psychology could even help you to be better at your job – sky blue is often associate with good communication, whilst red is a colour of passion and power. Try opting for brightly coloured blouses and dresses. These can be a great statement piece. If you’re not brave enough to do this, you could simply try bold coloured shoes and a bag. It’s best to not be too matchy-matchy as this could give off a cartoonish vibe that ruins your professionalism (i.e. don’t opt for a yellow blouse, trousers and shoes).

Wear a watch

A watch is a great accessory that makes you appear more organised to clients. There are lots of trendy watches out there too choose from that don’t cost a lot. You could have a few watches to swap and change between or you could swap the strap every so often to vary things up. If you’re looking for a designer watch, you may be able to save money by shopping second hand.

Scarf out

Scarves are also great accessories that can help to make a bland outfit more exciting. There are lots of ways to wear a scarf to add some variation – you can add a French knot, turn it into a shawl and even use them as a headband. Experiments with different colours, textures and patterns.

Embrace bling

For a touch of sophistication, why not add some jewellery? Whilst you don’t want to go too blingy, it’s worth having a statement piece. This could be a big necklace or large earrings. Large bangles may get in the way whilst typing or clang distractingly so it may be worth keeping these subtle. Some workplaces may also have rules in place against facial jewellery such as nose rings (some workplaces may disallow jewellery altogether due to health and safety reasons if food is being handled or machinery is being used). Stay classy and project a sense of professionalism.

Give prints a go

Many prints can be incorporated into workplace attire. Floral designs are great for adding some energy and are generally classy. There’s also a recent trend for tartan print clothing. This can be made tasteful when incorporated into a single piece of clothing such as a scarf or a skirt. Stripes can also work well providing they’re not too big and bold, whilst chequered clothing may also work in some more laid-back work environments. As a rule, steer clear of leopard and animal prints however – you may be able to get away with the odd flourish, but too much could feel tacky.

Be seasonal

Keeping your clothing changing with the seasons can keep it feeling fresh. Much of this can be done through the colours you choose. Greens and browns work well in the autumn, whilst whites and pinks and blues can make you stand out in winter. You may be able to find patterns that reflect certain seasons such as blossom in spring and leafy patterns in the autumn. When it comes to footwear, this can also be made seasonal. The winter is a great time for taking out those thick and furry boots and finding new ways to match clothes with them. In summer meanwhile you can consider dolly shoes and gladiator sandals. Remember to keep these shoes within the formality of the workplace – many workplaces have strict rules when it comes to footwear.
