3 Day Diet Plan
A lot of diet plans that promise massive amounts of weight loss in just a matter of days are currently getting quite popular especially to those who are desperate to lose weight. One of these includes the 3 day diet plan. The promise of instant weight loss attracts a lot of weight-conscious individuals to it. But, 3 day diet plan can backfire and may even, in the future, cause you to add more weight.
Surefire Tips on How These Diets Can Backfire And How You Can Avoid It
Three-day diet plans come in two main groups: Very low calorie diets and three-day detox diets. The reason why these two diets lead to quick weight loss is because of their low-calorie consumption. What do these types of diets do and what do we need to be aware of with regards to these?
Very Low Calorie Diets
The first group of diets, which is the “very-low calorie” diets, involves eating 3 meals each day that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates. These diets specifically instruct that you need to do that for a good 3 days, stop for 4-5 days, and then return for another 3 days. This cycle can be followed indefinitely. Most of the times, these kinds of diets asserts that the can aid you in keeping a high metabolism when in fact, they are just low-calorie diets on a masquerade. Most of the people who follow these diet plans usually overeat on the 4-5 day rest which in turn, make them gain all the weight back. This is one of the reasons why I really wouldn’t recommend using these diets.
3 Day Detox Diets
The three-day detox diet is, however, a completely different matter. Despite the fact that these diets are also low-calorie diets, they mostly involve in fruits consumption. These kinds of diet help cleanse the body of toxins and undigested waste, and so it provides more health benefits than just pure weight loss.
With these kinds of diets, it is possible to lose as much as 10 in three days. But of course, you must choose the right one. Just a word of advice though…
Do not do a detox diet for a long time. A week or two should be enough for it.
If you’re looking for a way to jump-start on your weight loss, then three day diets are good, but you must be sure to stick to a healthy lifestyle all year round. This will not only make you look and feel healthy, but you will be fit and trim at the same time.
EMBROIDERY Dress with matching EMBROIDERED Vest PHENOMENAL
Nude-tan, crepe-backed silk satin lines the interior of the dress which closes by hook and eyes at the hidden side. Yards of expensive, dual-finished edge Reticella needle lace defines the low cut dress yoke of the dress portion above the bust, and fully around the skirt hem. The upper hip length vest also has the Reticella needle lace lining around the vest opening and bottom. The shoulders of the flapper dress have a sheer, ruffled lace-edged shoulder flounce that peeks out slightly from beneath the vest for modesty's sake. On the vest, the shoulders have rows of gentle gathered smocking. The dress must be worn with the vest as the under layer dress back has no net or embroidery there. This was done purposefully so the vest embroidery would not have layers that competed in embroidery busyness- this way you could see the pretty pattern clearly. This magnificent 1920's dress would be perfect to wear at the annual Gatsby picnic located at the Dunsmir Mansion in Oakland, California, or a 1920's dance, 20's wedding or flapper party. You should allow for at least 1"- 2" looser in bust and waist so this dress fits properly- flapper gowns were not usually tight.
Condition:
This is truly the dress that time forgot! This 20's gown has an extremely pristine and very clean appearance at first glace. Even up close there's only a VERY, VERY minor almost imperceptible "bleed" of slight yellow color from the floss onto the netting on the vest and dress plus the silk underneath very slightly- all just looks like part of the bold pattern, so can only be seen if backed against black material. I had to take many photos so that you could even make this out at all. One slightly darker 1" round watery looking tannish spot on one side near waist/ hip seam juncture- one tiny age spot on one shoulder flounce (see close-up) most sellers wouldn't even mention this. The overall "health" of the fibers of this gown is truly amazing. Yes, this dress can be worn safely if minor precautions are taken such as underarm guards, and using napkins when eating/ drinking and airing between uses (plus not storing on hangers). I know it sounds simple, but these types of things really help keeps a gown like this at it's best. All hooks and eyes strong and accounted for. I think there might have been a silk organza or Georgette lining at some point that might have been removed. If that is the case, it was removed so well, this does not distract at all. One 1/4" puncture on the netting on skirt that could easily be mended. A few net pinholes, but in all, the net, embroider and silk is 99.9 percent intact. Really in Very Excellent, museum quality.

Vintage at Goodwood
Vintage at Good wood: retro chic comes of age
Taken from http://antiquedress.blogspot.com/
Vintage has had a rocky ride to respectability. The Noughties saw the word become fashionable and then ubiquitous. Kate Moss paraded her Twenties flapper dresses, Topshop got in on the act, and vintage megastore Beyond Retro in east London became a hipster hangout. From T-shirts to tea sets, it became a watered-down label applied to anything second-hand. Now the pendulum has swung back: vintage is special again.
“Today, 'vintage’ is overground and it’s hard to find a town without a vintage clothes shop,” says Wayne Hemingway, designer and founder of Red or Dead, who has collected vintage since his youth. “But when I was growing up, wearing second-hand signified you were poor.”
To channel his passion, Hemingway, along with his wife Gerardine and their children, has created the UK’s first vintage festival, Vintage at Goodwood. A three-day celebration of fashion, music and culture, this weekend’s inaugural event will feature the largest gathering of vintage clothes stalls the country has ever seen. “Vintage fashion is a win-win. It’s about upcycling [converting old materials into a new product], recycling, thriftiness and great design. I felt this was the right time to celebrate it and show people how good vintage links music, fashion and film.”
Another long-term collector, Carmen Haid, gave vintage a respectable boost last year when she set up Atelier Mayer (atelier-mayer.com), an online emporium selling gems such as Halston from the Seventies and Nina Ricci from the Sixties. “I loved Net-a-Porter, but there was nothing like it for luxury vintage fashion. We have customers all over the world who buy our pieces because they want to look different, but want good service with it.” A shop opened to follow the website in Bayswater, west London, last summer.
Vintage at Goodwood and Atelier Mayer encapsulate the movement’s new image: polished, accessible and done with passion. They show that vintage can be relevant without being overhyped. But how do you class something as vintage?
“Strictly speaking, items have to be more than 25 years old,” says Haid. “We do take things up to the Nineties, but only if it is a fabulous piece.”
Hemingway sees the lines as more blurred: “I think it takes 20 years for something to look good. For me, it’s hard to class something from the Nineties as vintage. I personally wonder how anyone can be celebrating the Eighties again as, to me, it’s too recent, but it’s fresh to anyone under the age of 30. There’s nothing wrong with different generations interpreting vintage in their own way.”
Echoing New York’s established vintage scene, there’s a new breed of shops that offer well-chosen second-hand pieces at affordable prices, and with good shopping experiences. Wolf & Gypsy (wolfandgypsyvintage.co.uk), a new boutique in Brighton, offers an uncluttered selection in an airy, wood-floored shop. “Everything is hand-picked and I want customers to see that,” says Laura Pollard, Wolf & Gypsy’s co-founder. “I display the pieces to show off their character and charm, and the space makes for a pleasant shopping experience. These days, customers don’t want to visit a thrift shop that’s stacked to the ceiling.”
This appeals to the fashionable, time-conscious customer of today – and makes perfect sense. If you’re spending the same on a vintage dress as you would on the high street, you want the same level of comfort and service. These days, we don’t want to get our hands dirty finding bargains. Unearthing a forgotten gem is a hard task, which is why shops will often search on your behalf.
But for those who can’t stomach wearing cast-offs, however good a condition, vintage inspiration is never far away. Designer labels take endless cues from fashion that’s come before: just look at Chloé’s Seventies-esque trousers for autumn, Miu Miu’s Sixties-style minis or Louis Vuitton’s Fifties-look dresses.
Canny high-street brands, including Toast, Anthropologie and Fever, use vintage shapes each season. “We visit vintage shops and flea markets in New York, Los Angeles, Bangkok and Singapore for influences in both print and shape,” says Matt Barker, creative director of Fever (feverdesigns.co.uk). “A Forties dress can be inspirational, for instance, because they were cut on the bias to get the best shape possible. We might combine a Forties cut with a Seventies print, and end up with a dress that’s really interesting. Customers don’t always just want newness.”
