Lifestyle

Being one of the oldest garments, the skirt isn’t just a clothing piece, it’s a symbol of femininity. Wearing a skirt makes us feel elegant and sometimes sexy and boosts our confidence. On one hand, buying a skirt has never been so easy, having so many different options regarding designs, lengths and materials.

Environmental consciousness has become not only exclusively an ecologists' concern, but something that all of us need to put in practice. As we witness the harsh effects that our lifestyles have on the environment, only a few decide to make more serious changes for an eco-friendly lifestyle. This has led to the creation of various eco-friendly solutions that range from food to everyday household products and even clothing.

To say the western wear trend is experiencing a renaissance is an understatement. Though it’s had its ups and downs, it’s managed to remain relevant with the years passing by. So much so, in fact, we can now see it everywhere – not only on the screens, but also the streets, as well as the runways.

Its essence, specifically the rugged appeal and the comfort it brings about, is what makes people attracted to it time and time again. And, as of late, it became apparent it’s not so difficult to incorporate it in the wardrobe even if you don’t intend to go for a full cowboy look. Many celebs and non-celebs alike have enjoyed pairing it with stylish streetwear.

Do you know how they say that comfort is key? Well, adding a little more of it to your life can make a world of difference. That's why you should always look for ways to stay comfortable, no matter what you're doing. You don't want to spend all day on your feet only to regret that decision by the time you reach your couch.

Going sustainable means creating and using materials that can be used over and over again and with that reducing unnecessary waste. Being more Earth-conscious doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive. There are many small things you can change in your everyday life that can make a huge impact on saving and protecting the Earth. For instance, growing a little vegetable garden on your balcony is a good place to start. However, there are many other things you can do.

When it comes to Italy, there are so many things we associate with the beautiful country and its amazing people. From the mouthwatering pasta, pizza and gelato, the unique hand gestures, the unforgettable art and architecture, all the way to luxurious vehicles. If you think I’ve left out the incredible trendsetting fashion, that’s only so as to elaborate more on the matter – shoes in particular.

Sharing what's ours with others is one of the few ways to express your fondness towards other people. That’s why it’s really of no surprise that the ancient tradition of gift-giving can be traced as far back as the prehistoric ages when we lived in caves. That being said, the nature of the gift itself depends mostly upon the person who is receiving it.

Feeling brave enough to enlist into the military? That’s great news and we thank you for your upcoming service. After all, it’s a feat that not everyone can accomplish so kudos to you for standing up to the challenge. Regardless of whether it’s one of your new aspirations or if it’s one of your childhood dreams, you’ll be wearing the military uniform with pride and joy.

Whether you are surrounded by people who love camping, hiking, rock-climbing, mountain biking, or any other outdoor activity, or there is that one loved one that is always secretly planning their next adventure, their fun and, in many ways, beneficial hobby, can be a great inspiration for the gift you’ve been planning to buy for them. People who regularly go in the wild have a lot of camping equipment, so it may not seem like an easy task to buy something that will support their love. However, many of us keep reusing some products that we love, even when they are past their prime, and not only when it comes to camping or hiking.

Creating art is a fun and beneficial activity regardless of your skills. Many studies suggest that it reduces stress, boosts your confidence and imagination and makes you more observant. Some even suggest that drawing improves our memory, communication skills, problem-solving skills and our emotional intelligence. The simple act of colouring relaxes our brain and improves our focus, making it an almost meditative exercise.
