Essential guide to dress your bridesmaids: ten trends of 2022

Leave a reply

Your time has finally come, you are getting married and you are going to be able to say the long awaited “I do” that so many women long to say in their lives. Now, although weddings are a wonderful event that always generates enthusiasm among all the guests and among the people who help the bride and groom to organize the big day, they also involve a lot of extra work, especially for the bride who has the difficult task of choosing the design of the dresses for her bridesmaids.

And although it may seem like a simple game for little girls, having the task of choosing the right dresses for your bridesmaids is really complicated. The reality is that for many brides this task is a real nightmare that only ends up generating more stress and make them see the wedding day as a deadline and not as the best day of their lives. Because yes, getting the bridesmaid dresses right is not always easy and there are thousands of weddings in which the bridesmaids have stolen the bride’s thunder by being “overdressed” or, on the contrary, “in too bad taste”.

For all these reasons, and because in Cicinia we believe that a bride should not have to suffer while preparing what will surely be one of the most important days of her life, below we are going to give a detailed list with the 10 most talked about trends in bridesmaid dresses this season. A list in which we will talk about the most fashionable colors, textures, cut or headdresses that bridesmaids of any wedding can wear with pride knowing that they have succeeded and that their dress is perfect for the occasion.

Take note!

10 Stylish Bridesmaid Dresses in 2022

1 .Warm and earth tones

During the previous year, warm and earthy colors were a trend, especially among bridesmaids at fall weddings, offering a wide chromatic versatility that favors all skin tones and combines perfectly with a wide variety of dress cuts. In addition, opting for a terracotta or cinnamon tone if you are getting married in the middle of the harvest month is a very nice way to theme your wedding and create a beautiful photo album that will perfectly mimic the landscape of the season.

2 Nature theme and geometric patterns

After spending more than half a year away from our loved ones and isolated in our own homes, our need to reconnect with nature and the outdoors intensified and that is something that was clearly reflected in bridal fashion. If you are a bride who is not afraid of flashy colors or overloaded designs with floral or fruit prints, going for some classic geometric cut dresses with some bright green tones or with prints full of flowers and varied colors can also be a winning bet.

3 Pastel and satin dresses

Pastel tones have always been one of the most used looks at weddings and all brides love it for the romantic and delicate air it brings to the ceremony. On the other hand, the fashion of satin bridesmaid dresses is back, a style full of elegance that combined with a pastel tone your bridesmaid dresses will be beautiful.

4 Mauve shades

Mauve has been in fashion for years and among bridesmaids as well. Everyone knows that lilac is a symbol of feminism, so if you want to fill your wedding with this powerful and striking color, do not hesitate to choose a dress of any cut along with the tone that empowers all women. With it your bridesmaids will never go unnoticed.

5. Cow Neck Dresses

And you will think, cow neck? But haven’t they been out of fashion for more than two decades? Yes and no, dear friend. Cow necks were a trend throughout the 90’s and the most influential women in the world wore all kinds of dresses with this neck, however although they had been missing for years there are many evidence of their return.

Go for a cowl neck on your bridesmaid dresses and you will make them look light, flirty and elegant at the same time. They have it all!

6. All in pink

Pink is the color par excellence of weddings, all bridesmaids know that there is a high probability of ending up in a dress of this beautiful and delicate shade. The reason? Very simple, it is a neutral tone that combines with any cut and headdress, it is not too flashy and flatters any figure and skin tone. You will only have one more thing to do if you decide to go for pink: choose among its many shades, it is full of possibilities!

7. High necklines

High necklines and spaghetti straps are another favorite choice among brides for their bridesmaids, so deciding to go for a classic satin cut dress with a nice high neckline and long straps on both sides will always be a success.

And why stop using the usual looks, if they always look good? Do not hesitate, they are a win win!

8. Tropical prints and orange tones

Are you getting married on the beach? Aren’t you afraid that your wedding will look like something out of an American romantic comedy filmed in Hawaii? Then don’t hesitate to go for tropical prints with orange tones, because they have been in fashion for two years and wherever they appear, they triumph. They are fun and will never, ever make your bridesmaids look boring or underdressed, everyone will look at them!

9. Royalty-inspired wedding dresses

We’ve all admired wedding dresses from royal weddings and sighed thinking about how we wish we could wear a dress similar to what women like Diana of Wales or Kate Middleton wore on their big days. Well, trying to imitate their dresses is now also a trend and there are many brides who choose to recreate the designs of royal weddings in their bridesmaids: swan necks, crepe fabric, tiaras of rhinestones, etc..

Just search the internet and you will find hundreds of designs from the most famous royal weddings. Get inspired and create your own fairytale wedding!

10. Puffed sleeves with bright colors

In recent years, old traditions have been left behind that forced all the dresses at a wedding to be discreet and elegant. Now the extravagant is in and weddings are an explosion of colors and textures in which current fashion is mixed with tradition, being this year puffed sleeves and bright colors like green or fuchsia some of the favorite bets.

These 10 are some of the trends with which from Cicinia’s team of stylists we believe that any bride will be able to find the ideal style for her bridesmaids and have a wedding worthy of being remembered.

Eight Tips for Safe Travel as the World Begins to Open Back Up

Leave a reply

It’s a scary time to travel. Despite getting less media attention with each passing day, the pandemic still affects your health while on the road. Now, increased international tensions and conflict make leaving your comfort zone even more problematic. What happens if you get stranded abroad?

While you can’t avoid every snafu, there’s plenty that you can proactively do to safeguard your health and mental well-being on the road. Thinking ahead can make all the difference! Here are eight tips for safe travel as the world opens back up.

1. Have a Contingency Plan

If you’re planning to leave the country, appoint a check-in person stateside whom you touch base with at scheduled intervals. If something should happen, they’ll know to contact the correct authorities and set things in motion to find you and return you to safety.

Given the current state of the pandemic, you might have valid fears about what could happen if you got sick while overseas. Before you depart, make plans for medical repatriation if you don’t want to be treated in a hospital abroad. Such services arrange first-class travel back to your home country, ensuring your comfort and putting your mind at ease.

2. Mask Up

The Travel Security Administration (TSA) extended mask rules to March 18, 2022, but it’s impossible to say what rules will stay and go once that deadline passes. However, even if officials repeal the mandate requiring you to mask up on public transportation like planes and buses, you can still cover your nose and mouth.

Doing so offers some protection even if others decline. Anything that offers a buffer between you and respiratory droplets reduces your risk of infection. However, you should opt for a stronger KN95 or N95 facial covering if you have health conditions that elevate your risks from severe infection.

3. Maintain Good Hygiene

Cases of the flu all but disappeared during the pandemic’s early days. While multiple factors play a part, such as less frequent contact with crowds, improved hygiene measures also contributed to the decline.

Please remember that COVID-19 isn’t the only nasty bug out there, especially when you travel. Take the proper measures to maintain hygiene while eating and drinking, too. Wash your hands before preparing food or eating.

Some countries have cleaner water supplies than others. When ordering beverages in countries where you don’t trust the water supply, request that your server hold the ice cubes. Exercise caution with raw foods – fresh fruits and veggies are fine if you wash them first, but hesitate around shared trays at buffets.

4. Wear Your Glasses

Although it’s unlikely, authorities have reported cases of people contracting COVID-19 through their eyes. Your risks of infection increase if you wear contacts that cause dryness and irritation.

However, donning your specs keeps you more comfortable, especially in dry airline conditions. It also creates a barrier between your cornea and respiratory droplets, further slashing your infection risk. With summer on the way, those with 20/20 vision can reap the same benefits by treating themselves to a new pair of stylish sunglasses for the season.

5. Stick With Handshake Alternatives

During the pandemic’s early days, elbow and fist bumps replaced handshakes. It’s still wise to avoid this common courtesy and stick to an alternative whenever possible.

Some countries consider the practice rude, so you might be in luck if you’re traveling to some Asian countries. It might be more common to greet the other party with a slight bow in these locations, helping you maintain social distance.

Of course, if you have a big job interview overseas and the interviewer offers to shake, you might feel uncomfortable declining. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with you and avoid touching your face until you can excuse yourself to go use your hand sanitizer or take a trip to the nearest restroom to wash your hands.

6. Monitor Your Symptoms

You still have a responsibility to your fellow human beings. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms or have a positive test, you should isolate yourself for five days and wear a mask until a negative COVID-19 test confirms it’s safe. This might mean delaying or canceling your travel plans. Different countries have various rules, and you will likely need to pass an entry test, anyway.

Even if you aren’t showing symptoms, testing positive always means that you should isolate yourself in order to protect others. COVID-19 symptoms can be mild for some, while for others they can be deadly.

7. Maintain a Healthy Diet

Your diet can go far in keeping you healthy. You generally want to look for healthy whole foods, not overly processed versions. Leafy greens, nuts and fruits are all excellent for your health, and can give you a good immune boost in many cases. However, you might want to up your vitamin intake if you’re traveling to a developing country where eating raw local produce is questionable.

For example, vitamin C and zinc can make your cold shorter and less miserable. However, you need both in your body when symptoms develop, or they won’t do much good. If you can’t stick to a healthy, whole foods diet while away, consider stashing a multivitamin and mineral supplement in your carry-on and start taking it a week or so before you depart.

8. Stay Fit on the Road

Fitness also decreases your chances of getting sick. Exercise raises your core temperature, killing germs, and your increased respiration rate can help clear them from your airways before they can even set up shop.

If your hotel doesn’t have a fitness center, why not stash some resistance bands in your suitcase for toning in your hotel room? Another option is to take advantage of today’s workout apps to get a guided workout wherever you go. You can also see if the area around you offers a park or some type of outdoor area where you can run and walk freely.

Monsta X – SHAPE of LOVE

Leave a reply

Monsta X have announced today that they will be releasing their next album on April 11th at 6:00PM KST. Announced via their social media platforms, SHAPE of LOVE will be their 11th Mini Album to date.

Check out the announcement HERE

SHAPE of LOVE follows their previous English-language album release of The Dreaming back in December.

MORE INFO:
Monsta X’s 2021 release of “One Day,” marked the group’s third Top 40 single — and as Forbes reports, makes Monsta X only the second K-pop group in history to appear on the chart more than once. Access Hollywood wrote, “Monsta X is back at it with another stunning single,” while PAPER Magazine praised the “heartfelt, soaring ballad, the kind that they do so well,” calling the track “an auspicious introduction to the next chapter in the storied K-pop band’s history.” Teen Vogue said, “With a mid-tempo beat and good vibes all around, ‘One Day’ makes us excited for what Monsta X has coming up next.”

Named by Grammy.com as “one of K-pop’s most prolific groups,” Monsta X’s 12/10 album, The Dreaming, is a continuation of their first all English-language debut album, ALL ABOUT LUV. Released in February 2020, that album ranked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart, making Monsta X only the 3rd K-Pop group to chart within the top 10, and was one of the first-ever full English-language pop albums from Korea.

LEADERS APPLAUD JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON

PROMINENT NATIONAL BLACK WOMEN LEADERS APPLAUD JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON ON HER HISTORIC U.S. SENATE CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR SUPREME COURT

The Black Women’s Leadership Collective, a coalition of 11 national Black women’s organizations networks and leaders, applauds Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for her historic appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. Judge Jackson demonstrated why she belongs on the United States Supreme Court, despite false, unwarranted and vitriolic Republican attacks on both her character and her nearly decade-long tenure as a federal judge.

The Black Women’s Leadership Collective — an organizing hub of national leaders who represent millions of advocates and supporters — is urging the Judiciary Committee to advance Judge Jackson’s nomination to the full Senate for confirmation as the first Black woman to serve on our nation’s highest court.

Judge Jackson’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee deepened the pride and joy Black women across America have felt since she was nominated by President Biden. She did us and our ancestors proud. Day after day, hour after hour, Judge Jackson’s character, integrity, deep knowledge, and respect for the Constitution were eminently clear. She cut through the noise and partisan rancor to discuss her record with such grace, transparency, and thoughtfulness that it’s no surprise the Senate previously confirmed her for three positions, including two judgeships, with bipartisan support.

Judge Jackson faced distortions of her record, attacks, hostility, and downright rudeness from Senate Republicans, who should be ashamed of their actions during these proceedings. The interruptions, barely coded dog whistles and disrespect mirrored the lived experience of Black women in America and serve as a reminder why representation matters and why Judge Jackson’s historic nomination is an inspiration. As our children watched these hearings, they saw yet another moment in Judge Jackson’s inspirational life as she faced baseless attacks with grace, strength, and incredible poise.

Grounded in core values of faith, family, and service, it’s also no surprise that Judge Jackson the has earned a wide range of endorsements, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, former attorneys general, lawyers and retired federal judges of both parties. These endorsements prove beyond doubt that Judge Jackson is a strong supporter of law enforcement and works to protect the public from criminals.

We urge the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate to vote swiftly — and overwhelmingly — approve Judge Jackson for the Supreme Court.

About The Black Women’s Leadership Collective

The Black Women’s Leadership Collective is a leadership and organizing hub for Black women’s organizations, advocates, and supporters, utilizing the power of our collective efforts to support the nomination of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. We are a collective of intergenerational, intersectional Black women leaders throughout the nation. Within our collective are organizational leaders, business leaders, political strategists, student leaders, faith leaders, tech leaders, labor leaders, pioneers in sports, music and entertainment, movement leaders and more.

AEROMOBIL ANNOUNCEMENT

Leave a reply

AeroMobil announces the second model of its revolutionary flying car, the 4-seater AM NEXT. AM NEXT leverages the ground-breaking engineering of AM4.0, the world’s first production flying car. AM4.0 is a 2-seater luxury personal vehicle – more than a supercar and a light aircraft combined, it is a new species of vehicle which will start deliveries in 2024.

The primary business model for AM NEXT, launching in 2027, is a fleet aerial ride-hailing service. AM NEXT will provide significant time-savings on regional routes in the 100-500 mile range, which are too far to drive and too short, or inconvenient, to fly. AM NEXT will provide no-hassle travel: door-to-door single-seat convenience and comfort, to work, rest, play, or just enjoy the view.

A leading global management consulting firm measured the Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) for the AeroMobil ride-hailing service as $70 billion annually just in North America. This is calculated from an extensive survey of traveler switching rates based on time, price and convenience on 660,000 routes within AM NEXT’s range.

Like AM4.0, the AM NEXT flying car has major advantages over other Advanced Air Mobility solutions. AeroMobil’s technology uses existing infrastructure (over 10,000 landing strips in the US), fits existing automotive and aviation regulation, and has significantly greater range than eVTOL craft. AeroMobil also has very few competitors which will enable strong profit margins thanks to leading market share and differentiated branding.

AeroMobil’s business model is capital and overhead efficient. The company engineers and designs the hardware and software, and will manage the customer experience through a proprietary flight booking app. Manufacturing and fleet operations are outsourced to leading specialists in these fields.

Patrick Hessel, CEO of AeroMobil, stated:

“We are excited to announce the second revolutionary model of AeroMobil’s true flying car. Following AM4.0, the world’s first production flying car, AM NEXT will disrupt and democratize the regional travel market. It will provide a better, and in many cases previously unavailable, solution to trips in the 100-500 mile range. AeroMobil will leverage AM4.0’s proof of concept of engineering and regulation, and its premium branding, into AM NEXT’s mass-market aerial ride-hailing service”.

“Coinciding with the announcement of AM NEXT, we are touring the prototype 2-seater AM4.0 flying car in the United States, with public viewing and with private appointments for investors, buyers and operators. Details are on aeromobil.com”.

The AeroMobil 4.0 will be at the Hiller Aviation Museum in Silicon Valley between March 8th and 20th.

The vehicle will be at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles between March 22nd and 29th.

SUMMER WALKER – NO LOVE

Leave a reply

The reigning queens of R&B, streaming supernova Summer Walker and chart-topper SZA, announce Grammy-winning artist Cardi B will appear on a new version for their hit single, “No Love” (LVRN/Interscope Records) coming this Friday. Summer confirmed the news on Instagram, days after she hinted at a third performer by suggesting that the single artwork represented each woman’s Zodiac birth sign. Savvy fans quickly jumped on Cardi B as the leading candidate, and the two jumped on an Instagram Live to celebrate the news in front of their combined 130 million followers. The new version, titled “No Love (Extended)” also includes a new music video to be released the same day. Pre-save “No Love (Extended)” HERE.

In its original form, “No Love” instantly lit up charts around the world upon its debut last November. The song surged to No. 1 on Apple Music’s U.S. Top 100 chart and became the first song to dethrone Adele’s long-standing champ “Easy on Me.” Plus, though it wasn’t an official single at the time, “No Love” debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become Summer Walker’s highest-charting hit. The collab appears on Summer’s Still Over It, which broke the record for the album for the most one-week streams ever by a female R&B artist, with 201.1 million in its debut week, and was the first R&B album by a female act to top the Billboard 200 albums chart since 2016. Those achievements, along with 18 Hot 100 hits from the project, powered Summer to be honored with the Chartbreaker Award at Billboard’s annual Women in Music celebration earlier this month.

SZA, too, is also riding high with her own hit streak. The multi-platinum singer’s “I Hate U” has jumped from a fan-favorite Soundcloud release to the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Among its feats, it entered at #1 on both Spotify and Apple Music US charts and broke the record for the most streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music in its first week. In addition to that certified smash, the virtuoso also racked up two more top 10 Hot 100 hits in 2021 thanks to the 3x-platinum hit “Good Days” and by assisting Doja Cat on the summer banger, “Kiss Me More.”

The extended version reunites Cardi B musically with both ladies. She and SZA teamed up on “I Do” from Cardi’s Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy album, while she and Summer collaborated on “Bitter,” which generated a wave of social media attention for its subject matter and the rapper’s spoken-word advice affirmations. The pairing was just one of her highlights of 2021, a year that included her landing a fifth No. 1 Hot 100 hit with “Up,” a nominee for the Grammy Award for best rap performance at next month’s ceremony. The superstar also recently secured her third RIAA-certified diamond single (“I Like It”), tying for the most by any female artist in history.

No Love (Extended Version)

SEAN PAUL – SCORCHA

Leave a reply

Primed for a massive summer, multi-award-winning Billboard chart topper Sean Paul will heat up 2022 with his eighth full-length album and Island Records debut, Scorcha, on May 27. It is available for pre-order/pre-save HERE.

Billboard exclusively broke the news of the record’s arrival today. With adoration, the outlet wrote, “Paul’s wave of dancehall was not just about the music. It became a worldwide cultural movement, filled with unapologetically Jamaican style, visuals, dance moves and traditions.”

Additionally, Sean Paul has unveiled a candid behind-the-scenes vignette for the music video of the first single “How We Do It” [feat. Pia Mia]. Watch it HERE.

“How We Do It” caught fire right out of the gate. It has already amassed just shy of 1 million Spotify streams in addition to gathering over 400K YouTube views on the music video. PAPER premiered the visual and exclaimed, “Legendary dancehall singer Sean Paul is back with pop star Pia Mia, just ahead of summer, to provide their dance floor duet, ‘How We Do It,’ as a sexy explainer detailing the many ways they like to, well, ‘do it’.” Meanwhile, REVOLT hailed it as “perfect for sending fans off in to the weekend ready for a good time.”

Most importantly, it paves the way for more to come from Sean Paul with the impending arrival of Scorcha.

Sean recently earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album for his 7th studio album Live N Livin, which was released in 2021. The album is a collaborative celebration of his Jamaican heritage and dancehall roots in which Sean trades the mic with Buju Banton and Damian Marley. Dancehall can be stereotyped as a competitive, macho space where sound clashes are king, but Live N Livin set out to emphasize what’s possible when unity is the goal. “We don’t need to divide our fans to attain the rotations on the airwaves or streams,” Sean says. “I hold this album very dear to my heart because it shows the effort of collaboration over confrontation.”

He also announced 2022 U.S. Scorcha tour dates. Returning to the stage following two years since touring due to the pandemic, he is eager and excited to reconnect with his fans live and in person. See full tour routing below. Fans can purchase tickets HERE.

Throughout his career, the international superstar has carved a home for himself while championing dancehall, as being an artist with a unique sound, look and passion. His ability to show the power and unity in music through various collaborations, across many genres has catapulted his career over the years on various charts, awards and with an enormous fanbase.

Four Things to Keep in Mind While Buying a Bespoke Leather Jacket

Leave a reply

Leather jackets can make ordinary attire look cool. Sporting a leather jacket can enhance your looks manifold. Therefore, one must be very particular about buying them.

Though off-the-rack readymade jackets come in a variety of sizes for you to try, they may not fit you the best. In contrast, a bespoke leather jacket can be tailored to bring out the best in you.

If you buy a custom-made jacket, you can avail a plethora of benefits like the customized leather fit, personality enhancement, personalized style, etc.

But the question is what factors should be considered to buy a custom-made jacket?

Well, don’t worry because we have put together a list for you. Let’s take a look:

1. Quality

You don’t plan to buy a leather jacket every second month, or do you? That is why it is best to get quality assurance from the company customizing your leather jacket.

It is best to know which material is being used for production. Also, ensure that they use good-quality studs, zippers, and buttons. The last thing you want is a zipper of sub-par quality that makes an obnoxious noise and gives a coarse feeling.

2. Purpose

Leather jackets come in different colors and styles. Therefore, you must decide the purpose behind buying it. However, you cannot get such liberty while buying an off-the-rack piece as it is made keeping a standard design in mind.

Once you know where you will be using your custom-made jacket, it will be much easier to convey the design you wish for your jacket.

Bomber style jackets are optimum for formal occasions and workplaces, whereas funky avant-garde style jackets are perfect for casual get-togethers where these jackets can make you stand out.

3. The right fit

Fitting is a paramount factor that decides what your personality will look like. The best way to convey the measurements is by sending one of your pre-existing jackets to the company so that they can get the right idea about your body structure. First, however, make sure the jacket you are sending fits you perfectly.

Along with the fit, you must aim for comfort too. Anything too loose will make the jacket look baggy. In contrast, a jacket too tight will be extremely uncomfortable.

Therefore, it would be best to choose a size that perfectly sits on your body and enhances its appearance.

4. Color

The color of your leather makes a spark difference in the way people perceive you. For example, if you are wearing a bold red jacket, you may come across as someone funky in the eyes of the people. In contrast, if you are sporting a standard black leather jacket, you will come across as someone classy and stylish.

A serious drawback with bold jackets is that you cannot sport them everywhere and every time since it is eye-catching. But, on the other hand, you don’t want people to think you wear the same jacket every day.

So, choose your color wisely. And, if you are having trouble choosing one, then simply opt for a black or a brown color jacket as they never go out of style.

Final Thoughts

The definition of a perfect custom-made jacket can be different for different people. However, before buying one, you must know the purpose behind it. The good purpose will help you communicate the right design instructions to the manufacturer.

Also, do not hesitate to ask for a free trial. During that phase, you can test the comfort level, the fit, and the looks.

Authentic bespoke jacket manufacturing companies allow you a free trial for 3-7 days. In the meantime, if you find it uncomfortable, you can send the jacket back for alteration.

So, consider these tips and get a custom-made jacket today.
