Orthodox Jewish women are taking fashion inspiration from style-star Olivia Palermo in an effort to shake-up their modest appearance.

The socialite has become one of the most influential red-carpet celebrities for style-conscious Orthodox women, who must follow three core rules of modesty in how they dress.

Looking to trend-setters like the 26-year-old for inspiration, Orthodox style blogger Sharon Langert told BuzzFeed: 'Jewish Orthodox women are fashion savvy - they want to look up-to-date.'

Orthodox Judaism requires both men and women to substantially cover their bodies, which has previously hindered the way modern Orthodox Jewish women would like to dress.

 

There are three main rules, or tznius, they must adhere to: shirt sleeves should cover elbows, the neckline should extend to the collarbone, and skirts must cover the knees, with or without tights.

Trousers are forbidden, and married women must cover their heads with a wig, scarf or hat.

While Orthodox women shop in specialty stores that cater specifically to these guidelines, many are now turning to mainstream stores Zara and H&M which stock up-to-date, more covered-up looks seen on the likes of Olivia Palermo, and even Alexa Chung who is a fan of button-up blouses and log-sleeve shirts.

Appropriating the stars' glamorous, but conservative looks, Orthodox women are stepping away from their traditional garb, instead creating fashionable outfits that still adhere to their tznius.

Not all Orthodox women allow fashion magazines in their homes, however, but many do follow trends, searching for style tips and inspiration on the increasing number of Orthodox fashion blogs like Mrs Langert's, called Fashion Isha.

Orthodox-appropriate looks appear in abundance on the red-carpet, and Ms Palermo, Rachel Zoe and Kate Middleton have become style-icons to Orthodox Jewish women.

Mrs Langert said: [Olivia Palermo] really knows how to put herself together.'

Adi Heyman, an Orthodox stylist living in Manhattan, who is also starting a blog about conservative fashion, offered: 'Not everything Olivia Palermo wears is modest, but she does wear a lot of long, flowy skirts and blouses. It's very classy how she dresses.'

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is also praised for her ladylike' clothes, and Ms Heyman added that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who often wears layers of vintage, 'covers up in [a way] that works for the Orthodox girls.'

For Haredim or Ultra-Orthodox, clothes have a purely practical function, but those who define themselves as Orthodox or Modern-Orthodox freely experiment with their wardrobes.

While they don't want to attract undue attention, they also don't want to be perceived as dowdy, and fashion's far-reaching love affair with lady-like and more covered up looks appears to be working in their favour.

Ms Heyman explained: 'These days it's easy to dress modestly and be on-trend.'

VIENNA — In the Replica Longines name of art, an Austrian landmark is encouraging visitors to confront their sexual inhibitions by having them walk through a swingers club to reach one of Gustav Klimt's masterpieces.

The Secession ?a world-renowned venue for contemporary art in downtown Vienna ?has temporarily incorporated a sex club named "Element6" as part of a project by Swiss artist Bedat & Co Replica Watch Christoph Buechel.

The swingers are not there during the day, but their mattresses, erotic pictures, bar and whirlpool are.

Secession spokeswoman Urte Schmitt-Ulms said Buechel hoped to spark a stir reminiscent of the scandal Klimt caused when his "Beethoven Frieze" was first exhibited in 1902. Now considered one of the Austrian painter's key pieces, it was once thought of as obscene and pornographic because of the way women's bodies were Tag Heuer Replica Watch depicted.

One section of the mural shows three mostly naked women, one with very large breasts who looks pregnant and the other two covered only by their long flowing tresses. Another includes naked mythical figures and a zombie-like, half-naked female with stringy black hair.

While the club only opens at night long after the art Replica Watches hall closes, daytime visitors aged 18 and older pass through its dimly lit rooms on their way to see the Klimt painting.

The room where the frieze is exhibited is locked at night for security reasons. But it too has its share of mattresses, surrounded by fake tropical plants and a life-size stuffed lion.

For many years, BMW has been considered one of the best manufacturers of luxury automobiles. This company continues to outshine competitors with incredible features. If you are accustomed to standard vehicles, the first time you sit in a BMW will probably blow your mind. The innovations that this manufacturer has created address every component of your driving experience. Although those luxuries come at a higher price than a typical car, they are well worth the money. Some of the features on these automobiles are intended to enhance your comfort, while others enhance driving performance and safety. Here are some of the newest features you can enjoy from this carmaker:

Active Cruise Control

While most vehicles have a standard cruise control function, this system is a bit more advanced. Rather than simply maintaining your set speed, the active cruise control allows you to maintain a pre-set distance from the car in front of you. You choose both the distance and speed that you would like to maintain. If your car gets too close to the vehicle ahead, the system slows your speed to restore the set distance. Then, the system will accelerate to restore your set speed.

Climate Zone Ventilation

This feature not only allows you to select different temperatures for your upper and lower body regions, but also detects airborne pollutants inside the vehicle. Sensors can detect carbon monoxide and other harmful gases and automatically circulate air to remove these pollutants. The system's filters help reduce the dust and bacteria in the air inside the vehicle.

Run-Flat Tires

These tires have reinforcements that allow them to maintain their full shape and use when there is a loss of air pressure. This feature can be especially handy if the tire loses air pressure in a bad neighborhood or on the highway. You can continue driving on the flat tire at a slower speed for as much as 150 miles. This enables you to get to a safer area, out of traffic, and possibly even to a service station.

Enhanced Braking System

This safety feature improves brake performance in many potentially dangerous conditions. In rainy weather, the windshield wipers activate the brake-drying feature automatically. The enhanced braking system also keeps the car from rolling when you are stopped on a hill. If you remove your foot from the accelerator suddenly, this system also triggers brake standby, which prepares the brakes for emergency stopping.

iPod/iPhone USB System

BMW engineers worked together with Apple developers to create an integrated iPod system within the vehicle. The device connects to an adaptor, which allows you to control your playlists and volume through buttons on your steering wheel. This system allows you to play the music through the vehicle's audio system without having to purchase a separate adaptor.

Rear Entertainment System

Backseat passengers can watch DVDs on a color monitor, or listen to their own choice of CDs through headphones. Some vehicles are even equipped with two separate monitors for each rear passenger. The system includes a six-disc multimedia player, which plays DVDs and CDs.

The features mentioned above are only a small example of the numerous luxuries included in BMW vehicles. Some features, like the enhanced braking system, are included to improve your driving safety. Many other features are intended to improve your driving comfort or the comfort of your passengers.

There used to be a day that making money over $100,000 was a great income. Yea sure, only 5% of people in North America make that kind of money individually, but I know a few "broke" people making over $100,000 per year (in most cases they do not realize how broke they are) as they are two months from the street without their income. Sound familiar? It is NOT enough if you want to sustain a lifestyle that gets better over time!

Read this because what I am going to reveal applies to your too! You have just as much potential (if not more) to make in excess of $250,000 if you put your mind to it.

Here it is, $100,000 is not enough to get financed to buy a house these days in my city, you will be lucky to get a townhouse or a condo. Want to drive a Merc, BMW or a Porsche, forget it, unless you do not have a house, any debt, or kids. How about a boat, a plane, a summer cabin, frequent travel...

Nope!

You may now be asking "So genius, what should I do?" Further to that you, are likely thinking; "I don-t have enough education, or experience in my field to get that kind of income!" Then get out of your field and find something else! Victorinox Swiss Army Watch You can succeed if you decide to because whether you think you can, or think your can-t, you-re probably right! The fact is this...

If you keep doing what you are Replica Dfactory Watch doing you will keep getting what you have got! Things will not get better, they will only get worse because you will never likely be satisfied with your "lot in life".

Here are some tips, things you need to understand, on how to get ahead of the $250,000 mark:

1. If you do not own your own business, you are giving up 2/3 of your income, yes that-s right, the people that have hired you and paid you are making twice as much off of you as you are off of them. Do the math! 

2. If you do not own your own business, you are paying 15 - 20% more in taxes because you are not benefiting from the rules made for those that make business happen - the owners of business make the rules because they have the money. Yes, the Golden Rule: "The ones with the Gold make the Rules." 

3. If you do not own your own business, the hours that you work are likely much more than that of the people you work for; you probably work at least 10 - 15 hours more per week than the business owners do. Ever stay late, or take your work home? What about the weekends and vacation time, do you work then too? Do you answer Casio Replica Watches your email at night? Why do you think business owners have the Country Club memberships and Travel all the time? It is because YOU are doing all the work for them! 

4. If you do not own your own business, Medical, Dental and Extended healthcare is not a write-off, but a taxable expense. Sure it seems great to have "benefits" with your employer, but the fact is the insurance cost is not that bad and if you have your own business, you get to write this off against your companies profits and in the end you will pay less in taxes. 

5. If you do not own your own business, you are sacrificing your ability to make as much as you want. Being self employed carries with it the luxury to make as much as you want...your success and lifestyle is totally in your control! 

Deciding to start your own business is a good first step; but what do you do? Assess your abilities, desires, work ethic, education, likes, dislikes and write all this stuff out. You have to now determine what you truly WANT to do, but PLEASE, take the time to figure out how much money you can make at whatever you are considering doing. It is great to think that you really like to own your own business doing whatever, just be sure to start one that will meet your financial desires.

Sweet, smiling Teresa Scanlan may be the only beauty pageant queen who doesn’t flinch when someone calls her stuck up. This weekend, she’s bound to prove it.

That’s when the youngest Miss America in 90 years hopes to be crowned the first-ever Miss Duct Tape, the flesh-and-blood representative of the ultra-sticky superstar of every home improvement project and offbeat fashion statement.

Care to take a wild guess as to the tiara’s likely construction material?

The 8th Annual Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival takes place June 17-19 in Avon, Ohio, and includes parade floats, fashion shows, sculptures and as many as 40,000 fellow duct-tape aficionados who have helped elevate this perfectly utilitarian tool from the garage to the beauty parlor of one of America's most vivacious women.

“People think I’m being facetious, but being invited to attend the Duct Tape Festival is a dream come true,” said Scanlan, 18. “I can’t wait!”

“It’s the greatest invention ever,” she said. “If I was ever on a deserted island and only allowed to take one thing, I’d take duct tape. You can hunt with it, fish with it, build with it, use it to decorate your hut and make stylish clothes. I’ve used it to make a roll-up bag for all my brushes.”

4 million fans can't be wrong
It’s been shown to remove warts, bind broken helicopter rotors and was instrumental in saving the lives of three astronauts during the 1970 Apollo 13 flight: Astronaut Ed Smylie said he felt the crew was home free when he learned duct tape was included in the tool kit.
