My Favorite Fall Fashion Trend Predictions!

Hey guys, the last time I mentioned trends it was Spring, I feel as though Summer fashion is a bit "ehh", so I decided to skip that blog post all together. I LOVE Fall Fashion, it is perhaps one of my favorite seasons because I love the changing colors on the tree leaves, and I adore 99% of fashion during this time.  I love that I am again able to layer when the months get a little cooler, and I love that I am able to wear BOOTS!! :) It took me a while to compile these trends because after much research, I found that I didn't like a few of the predicted trends and I am certainly not going to speak about something I myself dislike. I finally got all of the trends together that I like and that I truly think are most easy to wear on a daily basis.  Hope you enjoy!

1. Polka Dots:

Whether it be sweaters, dresses or skirts, polka dots seemed to be one of the "it" things on the runway this year.  I think used in moderation i.e. just a clutch or a top, this trend can actually be very pretty.  The key with this is to be subtle however, no one wants to get a headache from just looking at your wardrobe, and with a busy pattern like this, overkill can do just that!

2. Mustard & Crimson Colors:

I for one absolutely adore these colors! I think they are very reminiscent of the colors of the leaves on the trees as the fall progresses.  I think they are fabulous for Fall fashion and I am glad that there seemed to be a lot of these colors on runways as well.  I love going bold and wearing a more subdued outfit color and then throwing a mustard or crimson shoe or coat on top to add a real pop to your ensemble! Give it a try :)

3. Maxi Skirts:

I know what you're probably thinking, "maxi skirts??". Well I have to say yes on this one.  I saw a few versions of the seemingly repeated trend from summer, and I have to say I can totally see how this is a great fashion item to bring you gracefully through the first few "awkward temperature" months of Fall. You can throw one of these on with a tank and carry a denim jacket around or a blazer for when it gets cooler.  These also come in many different fabrics, and picking up a heavier one would be smart for those colder days when you still want to feel feminine and girly!

4. Peplum Style:

Peplum is such a unique style, it reminds me a lot of vintage clothing worn in those old movies. I love the modern day twists on it though. Wearing structured clothing that cinches you at the waist is the perfect way to give yourself some sexy curves with no effort at all! I think it adds some  nice kicked up flare to a dress as well.  Anything that makes you look feminine and well put together is a plus in my book :)

5. Shoes-Tassels, Wedges, Patent Leather and Chunky Heels:

As you all know, I love shoes, any kind really haha Since we are talking Fall Fashion here, I will stick to these trends above.  We are seeing a lot of tassels, wedges, chunky heels and patent leather.  I love wedges, they are my favorite type of shoes because they are just so comfy!! A nice patent Mary Jane shoes is a staple in every girls wardrobe and I'm loving the way the tassel really brings almost an office look to the shoe! Very chic!

6. Chunky Sweaters That Scream Cozy:

You know what I love? Clothes that make you feel so warm and cozy :) These sweaters will do that for sure! Who doesn't love a nice chunky knit sweater to snuggle into in the cold Fall evenings? These sweaters can be paired with a nice pair of jeans and a pair of chunky heel ankle boots for the ultimate chic styling :)

Well there you have MY personal favorite Fall Fashion Predictions as predicted by runway fashion magazines.  These aren't the only trend alert predictions out there, the others just didn't float my boat as well as these did lol I hope you enjoyed this post, and I look forward to doing another one of these for you guys next season! 

To Staying Stylish and Exquisite,

Understand What It Small Service and Large Service

car service
It's hard to imagine if the center in urgent circumstances, the car or vehicle that we were traveling "protest" in the middle of the road.

If you do not want to experience something like that, from now is worth more attention to the vehicle, for example by performing routine service on a regular basis in the workshop of trust.

In general, service to be divided into two, namely servicing large and small service. Usually cover only a small servicing the engine oil and filter change, and clean the air filter. Should follow the guidelines of the manual book of his, about every 5000-7500 miles traveled should be serviced light.

Minimal change engine oil, because if too long feared to come circulate carbon residue. The impact is lower quality oil. As with the great service.

Treatment usually includes the servicing of all oil substitute, from engine oil, transmission, until the axle. Also the bolts on the legs of the vehicle also becomes part of the check at the time of service. Great service should be performed every 10,000 kilometers. It is intended that the condition of the vehicle is always in top shape.

In each serving both small and great service is usually also carried out engine or tune up. There are several work items that were once a regular tune ups, such as check spark plugs and spark plug wires, set the ignition timing, check air filter, clean the intake manifold, and set the valve for cars that still use the manual valve.

For cars that already use a computer (ECU), if necessary when doing a tune up scanner tool used to facilitate instant diagnosis found the problem on the car.

That is, if the scanner appliance trouble with the ABS sensor is not necessarily convicted the ABS sensor to be replaced, but first examined the cause, it could be just a loose socket.

How to Repair Car's Air Conditioner Performance

Car's Air Conditioner Performance
Air Conditioner including a vital organ for a particular car type city car. Because Air Conditioner greatly affect the comfort of passengers and motorists have to travel as far out in the sun. Electronic devices such as car audio device or TV car was going to be more durable because it protected from excessive heat.

In order for Air Conditioner continue to run normally, most car owners do not have to understand the parts as well as maintenance of Air Conditioner. The most standard way is to maintain the performance of car air conditioner is the periodic servicing. Air Conditioner Service is generally done at least once a year. For cars that use higher frequencies such as taxis, a shorter period of service was attempted that is six months.

When servicing, car owners are advised to ensure that the stages of work done completely and correctly. Air Conditioner Maintenance includes cleaning the cooling coil or evaporator followed the addition of compressor oil. Compressor oil is not its size. If you want to know his pass must unload the compressor. If
dismantled it should replace the seal-seal it. So if there's no interference with the compressor, just to be safe enough that we just add the oil.

Do also check the filter and dryer functions for filtering and drying. As well as checking the expansion of the function to pengkabutan. Prior to charging the freon, compressor aspirated with a vacuum device to remove the air in it. "We serviced it should be cleaned first. When
the purge air compressor, if not divakum, content
freonnya will not maximal.

Especially for charging Freon, car owners are advised to check at least six months. In that time according to, Freon is much reduced levels may be due to a subtle leak or evaporation. After charging, a new checks performed by the cooling rate as well as working termomoter automatic sensors. This sensor serves to reduce the cooling if the temperature inside the car reached a certain cold.

Usually we stay alone setting. But when it did not work so have to change. But because the original sensors are quite expensive, usually the owner requested be handled first. Normally we wear bandrek ordinary thermostat was able to walk again.

Air Conditioner Sensor original price depends on the type of car. Workmanship for a higher degree of difficulty, the charge was more expensive.

Let Save Gasoline with Prevent Ban Less Wind

Ban Less Wind
At first glance the car tires that are less hard not to bring any problems. Extent not so deflated, the car is still okay to drive, so that usually comes to mind. Even some car owners also prefer the tire pressure is reduced from the ideal standard. The reason to make it more tender. From now on it's worth throwing away the habit. Due to the lack of tire pressure did have an adverse and dangerous effects.

Low pressure is the main enemy of tire life. Tires are less wind it feels softer. This is because bending the tire increases. But the effect is the tire will experience excessive heat. Layers can be peeled off the tire as a result of such high heating. Bespectacled man added that tire pressure is less able to experience the separation bonds between the components of the tire. Visually tire walls will be cracked. Even more dangerous, due to less tread movement winds will increase and can cause tire burst! So make no mistake, broke the tires do not just caused by the excess of wind, but also because of less wind.

On a less tire pressure, the more frequently exposed to the road surface is the side of the palm. So this is the most rapid part wear out and thin. Tires must be replaced even if the palms were still good. This is a waste. Age tires so shorter than normal. And if the normal pressure, tires will wear out evenly in a longer period of time. So if you want to save money as well as survivors, it is better never to let the tire in less wind conditions.

Caring for the Car, Can Not Carelessly Ways

Developing age, followed her car functions. This four-wheeled steeds did not merely become a means of transportation. In fact, the car could get his second wife. Therefore, the owner of his favorite car care items such as caring for his beloved wife. But, of course there is always a problem determining the proper repair and safe for the favorite car.

The choice, Workshop is a one stop service could be the right solution. The service move for body repair, engine service and Autocare.

Multi Workshop also become one of the insurances partner workshop in all city. Facilities complete with paint using a spray booth or oven system. The process of painting using standard procedures and manufacturer's warranty up to one year .. Having a lot of customers and partners, giving priority to service and customer satisfaction become the motto..

How to Take Care Car Radiator

Car Radiator
Car engine ignition system in working with the hot conditions. Combustion of gasoline in the combustion chamber generates heat that will produce mechanical energy to drive the piston and rotate cruck as (crank shaft) and then channeled to the wheels.

The more heat engine, the more efficiently it works. But the heat is limited by the heat resistance of the piston and head are usually made of aluminum or cast iron dai. Most machines today are designed to work optimally at normal working temperature of about 195-2200 F, ideal hot conditions that will generate maximum performance and fuel consumption are ideal.

When experiencing a overheated engine, the first thing that happens is the engine feels ngelitik or coughing, and began to lose power. This is caused by a combination of heat and pressure that exceeds the engine room of our fuel octane. The combination was able to cause severe damage to pistons, piston rings, and rod bearings. Additionally, excess heat and pressure can bend the head, especially those made of aluminum.

What the hell, the cause of overheating? Radiator could be because the content is less, leaks in the radiator and radiator hoses and water-jacket (in the engine cooling water channels) filled with dirt. Thermostat can also be triggered by conditions that do not mebuka maximum cap, water pump does not work optimally, the radiator cap which was ugly then an extra fan to death.

If this happens, check the thermostat. The working principle is to drain the water thermostat at an ideal temperature, 80-90 degrees Celsius. So this thing will open and drain the water to circulate from the engine coolant to the radiator so the engine temperature is optimally maintained.

How to check it out, boil the thermostat until the temperature reaches 80-90 degrees Celsius. When opened, the normal means. But when opening partially or even not open at all, please replace with new.

No harm in seeing conditions thermoswitch. Usually mounted on the radiator. This sensor will work at a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius and will turn on the extra fan to cool the radiator. If you see any problems, try to boil the water reaches a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius, Measure its resistance with a multimeter. The resulting figure should be zero which means it works well.

Next, check the extra fan. See if an extra fan to work properly. If necessary replace the fans with extra blades more weeks to get a better cooling effect. Check also if the radiator cap is still in good shape, because the pressure is reduced as a result of a bad radiator cap to suppress boiling point of water cooling.

Water pump works to download Circulate the water from the engine to the radiator, usually the blades on the water pump gradually eroded, until his work was not optimal. After that, check the radiator grille. Objects made of aluminum that serves as a coolant. Make sure that the radiator is not clogged, the radiator can be brought into service to be scraped or cleaned.

Water Jacket is a water channel in the machine that serves to drain the water that will cool the engine. Use a radiator flush to clean the crust that accumulates in the water jacket. (*)

Tips:
  1. Combine the water with the radiator coolant. Could be 50/50 or 70/30 mix of maximum.
  2. Note the sign lights overheating.
  3. Stop the vehicle, parked until normal conditions return.
  4. Do not force run the vehicle if the lights lit overheat.
  5. Never remove the thermostat.

What's In My Bag TAG

Hey guys, so I recently filmed a video with my sister doing the "What's in my Bag TAG" and I am going to link it below in case you all haven't gotten a chance to view it. It was really fun to do because I found some things in my purse that I didn't even know were there! haha My purse is huge so I often find myself losing things in there along the way, I refer to it as the "adult barney bag" haha


Here are the top things that, if I had to clear out my entire purse, I couldn't live without (or easily anyway haha):

1. Mase- as a female, I find, it is always good to be on alert for a predator. This may sound dramatic to some, but as a female who takes night classes, I find that having this on me always makes me feel a little more safe. It's on hand, should I ever be accosted and I feel good knowing that my dainty arms won't be the sole means of defense! haha I was gifted my pink one from a Police Store Owner, but I'm sure you can find some online or in a work shop/sports store?

2. Anti Bac/ Lotion- These are always great to have in a travel size. I work with children a.k.a. the place where Germs have a field day!, and I must whip out my little pocket-bac 4-5 times daily. It's a life saver for the kids and myself alike. The lotion is another thing that is super handy, although I will be having to switch the overly scented one I currently have in my purse out because of the fact that I have realized it induces unnecessary headaches. I wash my hands very often, again working with kids this is a MUST, and I find that dish soaps/bathroom soaps leave my hands dry and rough. Why worry though? I have my handy dandy travel lotion on me :)

3. Chap Stick/ Lip Stick/Lip Gloss--Who likes cracked lips right? Well you won't have to worry about getting those if you have a good (SPF preferably) chap stick in your handbag! Also, carrying one staple lipstick or lip gloss on you is a life saver. Some nights I find myself having dinner plans after work and I am in such a hurry I don't have time to stop home to freshen up my makeup. This is when my staple lipstick comes in handy. Throw on a fresh coat of "lip polish" and you look good as new :) I love this trick!

Hope you all enjoyed seeing what I lug around in my ridiculously ginormous bag everyday, I really do have to work on getting a smaller one, its become as if I am carrying a carry on luggage everywhere with this thing lol

I am working on doing some more videos to accompany my blog posts, I think they are more fun to view/read :) My apologies for not posting in over a month! (feels like longer)..I was on vacation and also just really busy recently. I am getting in the routine of things again though and have lots of fun videos/posts lined up! Let me know if there is anything that you would be interested reading/viewing.

To all the other women of the world who carry "adult barney bags",
