The death of Romanticism “was the collapse of belief in the power of the human spirit to achieve new levels of freedom. The Industrial Revolution only made things worse, for it made the poets and artists feel that if this was what conquest was all about, then they preferred defeat.” An excerpt from Wilson’s forthcoming book,

Bootcut jeans are also known as flares, or loon pants. They become wider from the knee downwards, and are usually tight around the hips to provide a sexy fitted look.

From what I have noticed, bootcut jeans suit most looks and figures, so you will never do wrong putting on a fabulous pair yourself.  

To make it easy, here is the list of 15 denim brands that make the best bootcut jeans out there:

1. 7 for All Mankind

A gorgeous range of Bootcut jeans, there are varying colours from black to light blue, as well as different waist styles. There are even some ripped jeans, which are very stylish at the moment.

2. Abercrombie&Fitch

Abercrombie.co.uk offers a wider range of jeans, with some being tight at the top, and some being looser. They are available in light blue through to dark wash black. The sizes are accurate, and the jeans sit really well. Worth looking into.

3. Citizens of Humanity

Citizens of Humanity boot cuts tend to have a slightly higher waist, and the sizes are very accurate. The Buenos Aires range is designed to look like linen trousers, and are very comfortable, while the Black Lava range is tighter and lower cut.

4. dVb

The Bootcut range is lacking compared to other jeans styles, but the studs and low waists are very flattering. The brand runs small, so it’s advisable to order a size bigger than usual to ensure a good fit. Naomi is currently featured in the best clothes list, and is definitely worth considering!

5. Earnest Sewn

Definitely one of the best ranges for boot cuts. Available from bright white to dark black, the jeans are available plain, studded, embroidered or worn, and the result is unique and stylish jeans.

7. Gap

Gap.com is one of the only jeans sites that offer different collections for tall and petite women. This means that the jeans are sure to fit you around the leg, although it might be worth measuring yourself to check that the waist measurements are okay, the sizes sometimes run a little big. The ranges are available according to body shape, and there’s something for everyone!

One day I was looking through the pictures in the photo album of my Granma, and was highly intrigued by the look of women’s bodies in that time. Women on the beaches of Florida and the Bahamas, often fashionably full-figured, DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF CELLULITE!

Cellulite is not specific to overweight people but excess weight may worsen the condition.

- Dr. Rob Oliver, Plastic Surgery 101

Trying to understand what has so dramatically changed in our environment and diet since those glorious times, I have studied piles of boring scientific literature and even interviewed my Granma and other happy old folks. And here are my discoveries!

4 Things That Cause Cellulite:

1. Estrogen overload …

Women’s hormones are easily influenced by chemicals in food and medication, making fat cells change their structure and produce highly undesirable “orange peel” appearance:

Women’s bodies organize fat in connective tissue that runs perpendicular to their skin. This creates a “pulling down” effect that creates bumps in the skin’s surface or what you see as cellulite.

- Roselee Stehle

2. Consumption of wrong types of fats …

The metabolism of women’s bodies is disrupted by consumption of trans-fats and processed vegetable oils.

3. Lack of essential fatty acids in the diet …

Which are found in fish, butter from grass-fed cows and gouts, and tropical oils.

4. Use of lotions containing mineral oils …

Derivations from petrochemical waste products, which block absorption of healthy nutrients by your skin.

17 Tips on Creating a Home Bath Spa…

5 Effective Strategies to Get Rid of Cellulite:

1. Eat only right fats …

Never use cheap oils and any of the junk foods containing them. When cooking, use butter or unprocessed coconut oil. Put only extra-virgin olive oil or organic sour cream in your soups and salads.

When you do not eat enough fiber and cellulite is a problem, your diet may contain more of the foods that can cause cellulite. Any salty or fatty foods will go straight to your hips and thighs if you do not use fiber to prevent this from happening. 

Fiber acts like a scrub brush for the body. Fiber will improve circulation and improve your skin’s appearance from the inside out.

• 5 Home-Made Face Masks for Winter Skin Care…

1. Moisturize the right way …

Dry skin is usually sensitive and, since winter tends to worsen the condition, it requires thorough care. The best approach to managing dry skin is to avoid using commercial creams and lotions that contain mineral oils and other petroleum products.

Creams and other skin-care products that are based on natural hypoallergenic ingredients are the best.

Every morning after showering, pat your entire body with virgin coconut oil, cocoa butter, or shea butter. They contain naturally occurring nourishing ingredients, such as essential oils, skin-friendly Vitamins A, C, D and E, and protein.

Coconut Oil

Natural creams and lotions are extremely beneficial for dry skin - they heal, deeply moisturize, and protect skin from aging.

2. Avoid tap water …

If your face skin is dry, try not to wash it with tap water since it often contains chlorine, fluoride, and other undesirable chemicals. Instead, use cold mineral water or ice made with it, or, better, clean your face with an alcohol-free cleaning lotion, toner, or cosmetic milk, made of natural ingredients.

They gently refresh dry skin without causing irritation, while respecting its balance of moisture. Toners and milks effectively remove daily impurities and makeup, purify and refine pores, and leave dry skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated.
