Idealistic and comfortable materials are used in different ways to craft numerous designs of wedding bridal veils and wedding dresses. Wedding gowns designed by using chiffon have proved very popular with the bride heading towards one of the exotic venues abroad or on one of the beautiful romantic beaches around the world. The soft flow of the fabric adds magic to a wonderful and romantic picture, with the bride dressed in a wedding gown designed by using chiffon and standing center stage.

Lace is really in fashion at present. The French Leavers Laces are the most trendy and well-accepted laces. This lace variety is imported from France and adds glamour to lace coats, boleros and corseted bodices and adds flair to the fishtail trains, and these laces add glamour and sophisticated look to the wedding gown.

Tulle, which is embroidered, is also very popular and flexible. This lace gives you the elegant look with, shiny sophistication with a slight touch of romantic and dreamy look. This lace comes almost plain, but is often appliquéd with flowers and highlighted with beads, pearls and sequins. These laces are mostly designed in the Far East and therefore, they slightly cost lesser than the French laces. They have there own characteristics and certainly make unique and distinctive wedding gowns.

The Lace wedding dresses are either loved for their feel and romanticism or hated, for their ability to be transported into doily esque frocks. Some brides don't like the 'all too laced' look. Some dresses have a deep V-neck and the laced wedding dress designs fall in a mermaid line and give the bride an hourglass shape.

There are many classic styled wedding dresses and western styled wedding gowns, which are available in affordable prices. For example a beautiful laced wedding gown is an ideal dress for summer or spring. A well-designed and fitted lace bodice can be finely cut to compliment the figure, like a fairy tale dress.

Looking out for something romantic, then go in for a beautiful, romantically designed western wedding gown, which can be excellently cut to enhance the beautiful and elegant female figure. A well designed and cut dress combines unique tapestry and exclusive lace on the bodice and a full eight point skirt, Alencon sleeves which are re-embroidered, hand beaded and sequined neckline with lace and 6" fringe on the skirt and bodice.

So, go head and look flirty and feminine with lace that is one of the biggest trends of the season and showing it off in your wedding dress can create a naughty and sensational feel on the 'D' day. The use of lace accentuates any dress, wedding or not.

5 Ways to Get Yoga for FREE!

I LOVE free stuff. From buy-one-get-one-free coupons to free food samples at the grocery store, almost nothing makes me happier than feeling like I got a little something for nothing! As someone who loves free stuff and is also maybe a little obsessed with yoga, September is the equivalent of the feeling I had when I was five years old on Christmas morning. National Yoga Month is here!! And that means free or cheap yoga classes at studios all over the country!

In honor of National Yoga Month, I thought I'd put together a few tips I've learned to get yoga for free or cheap all year round!

1. Enroll in Teacher Training. Do you want a lifetime of free yoga classes? One of the best investments you can make is in a teacher training program. Many studios offer free classes to their regular teachers, subs, and even classroom assistants. But you DO have to have finished a 200-hour teacher training first. Yes, those can be very expensive, but think about all the money you could save on classes after you're a YTT graduate!

2. Seek Out a Work Study Program. Your studio might need help sweeping floors, putting props away, or manning their front desks. Ask around and see if there's a work study program, if not off your help in exchange for a free class every now and then!

3. Help Your Teacher. If your studio doesn't have a work exchange program, maybe your teacher will! Being a yoga teacher is a business and many of would be happy to work out a trade with you if you have skills that can help their businesses grow! Can you build a web page? Savvy with online marketing? Are you a great writer or artist? Offer it up!

4. Get a Scholarship. They might be hard to find, but they're out there if you know where to look! A quick Google search pulled up scholarships from Kripalu, YogaBasics.com, YogaAngel.com, and this blog post I wrote about yoga scholarships a year ago!

5. Let the Internet Be Your Guide. Youtube, podcasts, subscription services, oh my! There are free yoga resources all OVER the Internet. So if you're looking for a great option for free, it's right at your fingertips anytime you're in the mood!

Another note: If you really can't afford yoga, let your teacher and/or studio know. Most are more than happy to work something out with you because, after all, they're in the yoga business because they LOVE sharing yoga. They probably don't want to turn anyone away! So be creative, and get on the mat!

Speaking of freebies ... Congratulations to the Spoiled Yogi & Beebliss giveaway winner, Kimberly Parrish! I'll send you a message to get your size and get your shirt shipped to you right away! A big thanks to everyone who participated! Stay tuned, I hope to offer another giveaway soon!

Chill


Holidays soon! Stayyyyying at home. Life's getting to a stagnant phase, though in a relaxing way.

I cannot understand when people tell me they're bored to be at home. One can feel cooped up, but I always find stuff to do.

Piano. Food. Dogs. Tumblr. Sewing. Drawing. Reading.

Hahahaha. Shall be looking forward to holidays.

Today there was performance, news broadcasting. Bleh. Gave us the notice like a week before. Lame! 3 Cekap won. I think they deserve it. My class got 3rd.

The people cheered hard when it came to our dancing part. Because Jin Fye really, really FLAUNTS it. Shakin' it all the way from SNSD to Dancing Queen and whatnot. Lots of people had Justin Bieber in their performance. Most. Woah.

I was the OLEY Reborn girl. Bought bubbles for that. Played with it later in class. Wei Kien thought me to blow huge-ass bubbles. You just have to be very, very patient. Dylan says his uncle can blow a bubble in a bubble.

Is there not a simple pleasure derived from blowing bubbles? Chuckie tries to eat the bubbles when I blow it.

Hmn. Independence Day. Was uneventful. Dunno. I like singing patriotic songs. TANGGAL 31, BULAN 8, 57, MERDEKA, MERDEKA!

Saw the clip of Tunku Abdul Rahman saying Merdeka 7 times during History & Geography Club. The seven times always boggle me. UGGGGHHHH. I tried to FREAKIN' GOOGLE IT. Google always have the answers. Not this time. :(

Damn. Why 7 times? Asked the teacher but they don't know if either. Adults are evasive when they do not know the answer. They say something obscure and generic, like "It's a tradition" or "It's a number they like.". Seriously? -.-

This is a little like a mindf***. Which is when you eff yourself real bad trying to figure out something.

Let me drop one in your way:

Violence is never the answer. Therefore, when someone ask you what is never the answer, you cannot say violence is never the answer because violence is never the answer.

Figure that out. Pfft.

Though I was in patriotic spirits, when I came home there was a video on facebook asking Chinese to get out of Malaysia if they don't like it because it's a Muslim country. In the Parliament. People shouting all over the place.

Pn.Rohaya says things really heat up during the debate but after that they forgot about it, like there's different identities in and out of the parliament.

I dunno. Racism is always prevalent in a multi-racial country. I confess this, I AM A RACIST. Sorry! But I won't reveal what I'm racist of, I'll keep that to myself.

Why I think racism happens is like this:
The Malays think this is exclusively their country. Heck, note MALAYsia.
The Chinese think they're building the economy and feel jealous of the privileges the Malays are getting.

I dunno. That's what I think. But it's impossible to sum up one race with a statement, because a race is made up of individuals and individuals are always different. Best to just say, "There's just one race, that is the Human Race!". Heard this from Vincent.

Well. I'll continue reading my book now. The Museum of Innocence. Was interesting at the beginning but now it's like the main character just whines over and over again and pines about his lost. Good grief, move on already.

Found this website, Goodreads. Good for finding reviews for books. I gave the lowest possible rating(1 star) for "The Last Song" and "Eat, Pray, Love". I am anguish for departing with more than 60 bucks for these 2 lousy books. These, are the books I hate most. If you would like to read them, I am pleased to give it to you.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. He's famous for The Notebook movie. But never judge a book by it's movie. I read the Walk to Remember and I thought it was OK. Cliched, but I still enjoyed it.

The Last Song was just grossly horrible. Yee Shan liked it though. The main character was just one spoiled immature teen who is rude to her father. The characters were dull and unappealing. Eat, Pray, Love? The whole story was dull and unappealing.

It made me laugh though, when I saw this book called, "Drink, Play, Fuck" next to "Eat, Pray, Love" at Kinokuniya. I reckon the former would be much interesting than the letter.

Well some authors are character-driven, like My Sister's Keeper, some are plot-drive, like Twilight, some are prose-driven, like The Kite Runner. And if you find a book that is good in all three, you're in heaven.

If you are still reading this post I concede that you are an avid reader. Thank you for staying with me. Reading is very very important. YOU KNOW?!

I shall be a nerd and devour books. I shall expand my vocabulary immensely and fill my mind with new stories.

OK. BYE FFFFOR NOWWWW.
