The 5 Hottest Designer Wedding Gowns 2012

 If anything is memorable in a wedding, it is the bride's gown not only to the groom but also to everyone else attending the wedding. Thanks to our designers we have so many wedding dresses to choose from and so many prices to compare which sometimes leaves you confused as to which one to pick.
Well, for this year, your search might be over because I have already done a search for you and presented five of the best wedding gowns you can wear if you want to look hot on your D-day. These are not the type that you only see on the runways and you can't imagine yourself wearing; they are on the runways, but very fitting for any bride. Take a look at the designer gowns below:
Gucci

 Gucci is a big brand name and they make great clothes as well. I choose this gown because of it's cute elegance and a sexy top.This will especially look good on young brides with short to medium height. If you are proud of your waistline, this is the way to go.

Christian Dior

 Heard of a classic look in a wedding dress? That's exactly what you get from this dress by Christian Dior. The creativity applied here is quality and so trendy. I especially fell for the belt and the bumpy layers. Any bride would look good in this design.
Vogue

 As for this gown by Vogue, everything speaks for itself; you need to be a bit curvy to look good in it.Tall women look quite sexy in this but short women can also use this design to make themselves look taller.The tail is cool and not too heavy to move around with.

Vera Wang

 You might also want to consider this white gown by Vera Wang. It is a bit tumbled with some cool layers that look like they are floating and it is strapless. You don't have to be curvy to appear good in this one.
Giorgio Armani

 

The last on my list is this ball gown by Giorgio Armani. It is very sexy at the burst and will make you more than hot if you boast of a big bust. The make is also very smooth and angelic and in a way gives you a royal look on your wedding day.

Cool Plus Size Maternity Clothes

Ever wondered why some women look better during their pregnancy while others look bored as soon as they hit four months? Sometimes there are some uncontrollable physical factors such as black spots and swollen feet but in most cases it is the choice of maternity clothes that matters. Plus size mothers tend to be the most affected because they have a harder time shopping and worse, not many plus size women know which clothes suite them most during pregnancy. Just to save you the trouble, follow the guide below of clothes that will not let you down if your are a plus size mom-to-be.
Wear empire waist maternity tops

 Tops with empire waists will always feel comfortable to be in and they suite any plus size woman. You can choose to wear a collared one or one with a V-shape without collars. You also have the option of wearing an empire waist top that flatters your big bust or shows off a bit of cleavage.
Choose pants that fit in your belly 

Plus size maternity pants look better when they fit well around the tummy and are a bit loose at the hips because the body looks more balanced. Choose a maternity pant which is elastic at the tummy area for comfort.

Wear light flowing gowns without layers or a bubble design

 The best gowns for an expectant plus size mother are ones with an empire waist and without too many layers beneath. Wearing bubble dresses or layered maternity dresses might end up making you look a lot more bigger. The gown should however not fit too close to your body- a slightly loose fit is okay.
Get a few custom made dresses to suite your body

 The other option would be to have custom made maternity dresses. In this case everything will depend on your taste and of course your body. Go for designs that flatter you and that bring out the best of your body. It is advisable to have them with an elastic material around the waist/ tunny area if you are still in the first trimester of your pregnancy so that you will adjust them all through.

How Should Pregnant Women Dress?

 The major thing to look for in maternity clothes is comfort so that your pregnancy doesn't pull you back from having a good time at work or at any other time. During the first weeks you have more freedom with your choice of clothing because the baby bump is still quite small and quite invisible- you actually just feel heavy but if you look in the mirror you are not any big. Before five months you can wear clothes that hug your body a bit and show off your curves while they last  as long as they are comfortable.
After five months you are more careful with your choice of maternity dresses. It is advisable to wear loose fitting clothes that are comfortable at the waist. Go also for maternity clothes made of light fabrics when it's hot to avoid discomfort and heat related illnesses during pregnancy.
When shopping for maternity pants, always check that the waist is comfortable. An elastic waist is more preferable.Try also to wear colors that have a slimming effect on your body if you are a plus size; black is a good option but you can also choose brighter colors.
When the baby lump is big enough and conspicuous, it is better to match loose pants with a hugging top or vice-versa to avoid overemphasizing on your tummy. Take advantage of your bigger and fuller bust and wear clothes that show it off- a cool bust and a baby lump look wonderful together. Don't be afraid of showing off a bit.
Pregnant women should also consider fashion, trends and style besides the other factors named above when choosing clothes. You are free to wear fancy dresses that flatter your body or go for long flowing gowns which are sexy and at the same time descent. Most designers have a great collection for expectant mothers to choose from and sometimes if you are lucky enough you can enjoy good offers and discounts.
Other than dresses and pants, you can also invest in scarfs, leggings and accessories so to hide any discoloring or black spots around the neck or sore feet. Feel free to use as much make up as you require to get the look you desire because you need to feel good before you can look great.

I also love his choice of jacket but I don't advice you to go copying him if you are not sure you can do this or better than this.

The leather jacket Usher is wearing might look simple and easy to wear and look good but you might still find yourself making blunders. The thing he got right in this jacket was that it fitted his body well and the casual look suites it too.

Women Celebrities Who Got It Wrong With Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery can either make you better or worse than you were. Sometimes you might get to extreme changes that you just keep on going back for more plastic surgery. Few have managed to make it work out but many have really lost their beauty to plastic surgery. Check out the photos below of celebrities who used to have such cute natural faces ended up disfigured after one or more visits to a plastic surgeon:
Nikki Cox

 Niki Cox is one of those actresses you wouldn't get eyes off for a second but she felt she was not good enough. Look at what she did to herself. Honestly, her face before plastic surgery was the best.
Heidi Montag

 For Heidi Montag, things didn't go too wrong; she actually doesn't look bad but she admits that she lost vital things such as the beautiful smile she had before plastic surgery plus she can't move her face that easily nowadays or go hugging around. Heidi underwent about 10 procedures with the plastic surgeon on the same day and she says it almost killed her. She is only 23, yet she put herself through so much misery.
Donatella Versace

 

Donatella Versace, the famous designer has also been to the plastic surgeon more than once probably to try and look younger but the procedures haven't made her look better. She might have managed to restore some youthfulness on her face but she didn't get better looks. Her natural face was far more beautiful than this one.

Latoya Jackson

Latoya Jackson has done many changes to herself and now she is so different from the girl you used to see looking so cute and innocent in the late 70s. She is also not so badly off considering there are real plastic surgery freaks like Jocelyn Wildenstein.
