In their desperate bid to avoid what is known as “office dress” and thus spark talk that they’re trying to emulate their male counterparts in everything, many women have decided to go with their feminine side and dress accordingly at the workplace. According to Maureen Rice of the Daily Mail, far fr... |

It would appear that petascale supercomputers, able to perform one quadrillion (one million billion) operations per second or more, are no longer in fashion for studying black holes, the collision of galaxies, or the decay of protons in the magnetosphere, but rather for understanding things that were thought to be ou... |

Understanding how trends spread through society has been one of the main goals of social researchers for a long time, because the mechanisms involved in this are apparently extremely complex. Unfortunately, it's not like they can put a GPS tag on a trend and see what happens. So, they turned to the next best thi... |

That celebrities would do and try virtually anything to maintain their youthful appearance for longer – or, at least, deceive themselves into believing that’s what they accomplish – is no longer a secret. Placenta face creams and treatments are not new either, albeit no one speaks of them, perhaps s... |

New studies, conducted over several decades, seem to suggest that people are now less likely to publish recent photos of the deceased with their obituaries, and that the friends and family would prefer showing a much younger image of their loved ones. Psychologists explain that this is a clear indicator of a growing ... |

Stylists often point out that style, the genuine kind that can truly makes an impression, is nothing but an expression of one’s personality, and this applies to both men and women. Still, many continue to be at a loss as regards how to find and exploit their personal sense of style so as to keep up with the tre... |

One of the most “difficult” things that new or soon-to-be parents have to do is name their child. While most couples easily decide on a name, a new study reveals that, in fact, the names given to children from a certain generation maintain a certain trend, as for instance if they start with a vowel or a c... |

As we’re breaking out of winter, our wardrobes must undergo the usual “spring cleaning,” in preparation for the sunny days ahead. Being on a budget should, by no account, mean that we’re to limit ourselves to items we have from last year, or even older than that, or that we can settle for less... |

Researchers in the fields of psychology and behavioral studies are currently fascinated by the attraction that popular social media exerts on each individual, and are very surprised at the fact that it's not us who influence others, but others who make their point of view more clear than we do. So, in light of t... |

Long hair has been, and will always be the epitome of femininity and utmost beauty. Yet, that is not to say that a long ‘do will not work just as well at the workplace. On the contrary, stylists say, the longer the mane the better, because it allows for a myriad of styles in as less time as possible. Spending e... |

Hair is said to be extremely important for a woman, and with good reason while we’re at it. A mane that looks all sorts of tangled or unkempt is anything but good on anyone, let alone a lady. On the same note, colors that were once all the rage, such as platinum blonde, fiery red or blue black, are slowly being... |

When Amy Winehouse broke on the music scene with her beehive hairdo and dramatic makeup with winged eyeliner, she was seen as an oddity at best.

The hands are the mirror into one’s soul, it has often been said. Not the eyes, as we previously believed, hold the key to how someone truly is, but their hands and, in this sense, it is essential that women have a perfect manicure.

With size 0 models still walking the catwalk, much to the dissatisfaction of critics of this fashion trend, regular women are now given the opportunity to stop being ashamed if they have a fuller figure, and even to embrace it.

It wasn’t until long ago that the world of fashion used to look back on the ‘80s with bewilderment and a certain sense of shame for the audacity of the outfits and all beauty trends. The ‘90s imposed a new tempo and a different type of woman, fashion insiders say, but that era has come to an end and... |

Summer 2009 will be all about daring outfits and about donning them proudly, if we’re to listen to what fashion designers are telling us.

We all know that women would do virtually anything to keep up with the trends, from getting on almost impossibly high heels and running to catch a cab to work, to breaking their back by carrying huge bags in which they stuff almost everything they find around the house, just in case they might need it under a special... |

A bag can sometimes prove to be a woman’s best friend, so it’s really no wonder anymore why they usually pay so much attention to this particular item.

Aging can be hard on anyone, not just women.

Moore's Law was first used to predict the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit, and argued that their number would grow exponentially over time.

In 2009, the bob, the once-dreaded hairstyle, turns 100 but is still in the top of women’s preferences, and will probably remain so for much longer. Throughout the years, the bob went from being somehow of a taboo subject and even reason for public opprobrium, to being a trademark for certain classes, and then ... |

If yesterday we saw which was the most recommended hairstyle for girls with a square face, today we’ll see what the stylists are telling us to do if we have a more oval countenance.

Winter is all about keeping warm, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean it must also equal not being trendy all of a sudden.

Curls go in and out of style all the time, but straight hair has always been present on the scene, and will probably continue to be so forever. However, not all women have straight hair and, sometimes, getting it can be a real pain – not to mention the damage we can do to it if we don’t know what to do. L... |

The catwalks might have moved on but designers still agree that, this season, the strongest item in a woman’s wardrobe is no longer the ubiquitous little black dress.

With the passing of each season, many of us find it very hard to put away certain clothing items that we have grown fond of.

The age of flats, or ballerina shoes, seemed to have faded away this fall, when chunky or open toe pumps came to take their place, in what was clearly a compromise of comfort for glamour.

Women are afraid of or sickened by bugs. That’s a truth as universal as that the Earth is round.

However, for the time being, if we want to be tre... |

Back in the days when troubled rocker Pete Doherty of the Babyshambles fame donned a trilby and something that vaguely resembled a military/detective coat, watchers in the fashion industry shrugged him off as a man who had no sense of style whatsoever.
