Trend Report: Long and Belted
Like Punxsutawney Phil with the weather, many people look to the "hemline theory" as an indicator of economic times. For those of you who aren't familiar with this old adage, the theorem posits that you can use skirt-lengths to predict whether the markets will be bullish or bearish. For example, when the stock market is aloft, short skirts rule, whereas in a tight time, when the stocks are plummeting, so falls the hemlines. Now we aren't economists, but we do make it our business to track the trends of what our favorite style stars are wearing and we've noticed that some of the most in-the-know women are choosing long dresses. Given the hemline theory, it's no surprise that this look is back en vogue, but it is interesting that ladies like Kate Moss and Erin Wasson are wearing their maxi dresses cinched at the waist with heavy-duty leather and metal belts. Although we aren't sure what this means for the economic climate—besides more figurative (and apparently literal!) belt-tightening—we do know that it's a look we love.
Though all of our spotlighted ladies have effortless personal style, for the rest of us, it's best to follow a few rules to ensure that your maxi looks modern. (Such as: check out the Fendi F/W 09 runway for a little outfit-influenced inspiration!) When deciding on a dress, remember you'll get a lot of mileage out of a pretty piece that features an unfussy print. Trust us, there were loads of print gowns on the spring runways, indicating that eye-catching fabric is not only perfect for a festive holiday party, but also will carry you, ever so chicly, into the warmer months to come! Rachel Roy's abstract patterned piece (from her spring 09 collection) was perfectly suited for the 500 Days of Summer New York premiere and is a great example of how a graphic print can also ground an ensemble. A monochromatic dress in an elegant fabric is also a wise choice. Kate Moss, for instance, smartly set her sights on a Swiss dot and tiered silk chiffon ruffle dress from the Christian Dior archives for the British Fashion Awards last week. Another option is to follow the clothing cues from Ally Hilfiger, whose satin blush vintage Gucci garment was pitch-perfect for the David Yurman-hosted Fall Fete this past October. Remember, one of the most imperative elements of the trend is to keep the line long and lean with a little bit of flare at the feet; it's not as dramatic or voluminous as a mermaid skirt, but it definitely doesn't hug the body and taper at the bottom, either.
Of course, the right dress is only half of the equation. When deciding on a belt to create and accentuate the feminine shape, go for a substantial selection at the natural waist to add an edgy accent. Erin Wasson's vintage chained cincher, which she wore to attend a gallery opening in November, beautifully illustrates this point, as does Rachel Roy's vintage menswear cognac leather pick (Hilfiger's vintage Hermes isn't too shabby, either). And finally, though this look can be dressed up or paired down, make sure that all other pieces play second (actually, third) fiddle to the dress and the belt. Whether you opt for a pop of color via a bed jacket or a little borrowed-from-the-boys androgyny, your layers should not compete for the sartorial spotlight!
Of course, now that you know the rules of engagement, we want to point out a few seriously stylish selections that will help you look like a million bucks! When it comes to dresses, you would be wise to invest in ASOS' Coast Tiger Cross-Over Maxi Dress ($255), as this black beauty is the ideal backdrop to a standout cincture. If you want a muted monochromatic maxi, we think that ASOS' Seam Detail Jersey Dress ($54) will fit the bill. And if it's a printed pick you crave, we recommend you sate your appetite with T-Bags' String Back Long Dress
($251). Of course, belts are integral to making this trend a huge success. We think that See by Chloe's Alligator Chain Belt ($290), Diane von Furstenberg's Deliah Studded Belt
($255), and Gap's Vintage Leather Belt
($30) are top-notch. Just pair them with your favorite flowing frock and get ready to be spoiled silly with a wealth of clothing-centric compliments!

simulation assurance auto Today, chastity belts are sometimes used in BDSM play and in consensual relationships. They are a means for the wearer to surrender control over their sexual behavior either for sexual play, or as a long-term method of preventing infidelity or masturbation. They range from simple leather or plastic toys commonly sold by adult stores to expensive high-security stainless steel devices made by a handful of specialist firms.
Most modern chastity belt designs are descended from Hal Higginbottom's designs from 1956. Sometimes modern Florentine-style belts are described as "Tollyboy-style" or "Tollyboy-type" belts as references to his company's original design.By the way , If you have need any helps of Easy Way Moving, a London Based Removal Company, offers affordable house removals, office removals, Man and Van.

Two belts have been exhibited at the Musée de Cluny in Paris. The first, a simple velvet-covered hoop and plate of iron, was supposedly worn by Catherine de' Medici. The other—said to have been worn by Anna of Austria—is a hinged pair of plates held about the waist by metal straps, featuring intricately etched figures of Adam and Eve. There are other such belts at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg and the British Museum in London. Most have been removed from display to avoid any further embarrassment because the authenticity of these belts as Renaissance devices has since been called into question.
From the 1700s through the 1930s, masturbation was widely regarded as harmful in Western medicine. Numerous mentions can be found in medical journals of the time of the use of chastity belt-like devices to prevent masturbation in children and adolescents. Many designs for anti-masturbation devices were filed in the US Patent Office until the debunking of masturbation as a mental health problem in the early 1930s.And We also know some good gaming site , as like online craps ,slots , blackjack , online sportsbook , online bingo , online videopoker , rake back , rake back , Rakeback Poker .

The first known mention of what could be interpreted as chastity belts in the West is in Konrad Kyeser von Eichstätt's Bellifortis, a ca. 1400 book describing the military technology of the era. The book includes a drawing that is accompanied by the Latin text: "Est florentinarum hoc bracile dominarum ferreum et durum ab antea sic reseratum." ("These are hard iron breeches of Florentine women which are closed at the front.") The belt in this drawing is described by Dingwall as "both clumsy and heavy", having "little in common with the later models which served the same use". The Bellifortis account is not supported by any evidence or corroborating documents.
In 1889, a leather-and-iron belt was found by Anton Pachinger—a German collector of antiquities—in Linz, Austria in a grave on a skeleton of a young woman. The woman was reportedly buried sometime in the 16th century. Pachinger, however, could not find any record of the woman's burial in the town archives. The belt itself, along with most of the rest of Pachinger's collection, has been lost.If you have need any helps of Seo Services then you may contact at Professional SEO company in the London, UK.

A chastity belt is a locking item of clothing designed to prevent sexual intercourse. They may be used to protect the wearer from rape or temptation. Some devices have been designed with additional features to prevent masturbation. Chastity belts have been created for males and females.
The term "chastity belt" is also used as a metaphor in modern English to imply overprotectiveness. The term carries a derisive connotation and may also imply that the subject is antiquated, or is cumbersome, or provides unnecessary or unwanted protection.
According to modern myth the chastity belt was used as an anti-temptation device during the Crusades. When the knight left for the Holy Lands on the Crusades, he would force his Lady to wear a chastity belt to preserve her faithfulness to him. There is no credible evidence that chastity belts existed before the 15th century, more than one hundred years after the last Crusade.By the way if you have need any helps of seo consultant london for solving seo problem then you may contact at Bidyut Bikash Dhar who also offers Link Building Consulting Services in London, UK.
