Listen up Grabatologists! Yes I googled the collective noun for people who collect ties. Your ties are being put under duress by damaging clips and pins that are often unreliable and do little to control the kipper (the lower 3rd). Otherwise known as the business end of the tie. Introducing The Tie Thing. It is the necktie accessory your kipper has been crying out for. Like the cavalry coming over the hill, The Tie Thing will do all the heavy lifting for your tie, keeping it in place whilst matching your apparel style. Unlike necktie accessories designed for aesthetic purposes, The Tie Thing also controls your necktie without puncturing or snagging, and, unless you want to reveal your tie-prestige, does not show. Imagine you're working over an oscillating spindle sander, or you’re feeding a group of deadly arachnids over an empty aquarium. The last thing you want is for your kipper to be a rope ladder for some rambunctious furry back to use as their canny escape.

Highlights from the range are the 5-Pak specials that contain White, Off-White, Medium Blue, Dark Blue and Black. Each one finely constructed with patented durable cotton material using double-stitched button holes that are built to withstand rigorous washing or dry-cleaning environments without losing its shape or colour. If the 5-Pak is too rich for your blood then there is the more modest 3-Pak. With a range of colours from Black, Burgundy and White. All products come with a full 200% Lifetime Guarantee not to Rip, Tear, Fade (or in any way fail) or the guys at The tie thing will double replace your order at no charge. They'll even pay for shipping.

The Ankara print is perfect need I say more? But this perfect fabric has to be sewn correctly and smartly at this times. Gone are those days when this print was limited to just the two piece Ankara styles, now you have limitless options.

 As a modern day woman, I’ve seen how well the Ankara print fabric has evolved into something much more than what my grandma ties around her chest. I have witnessed this transformation and I am loving it. Being in the fore front of the evolving trend in fashion makes me realize how well the Ankara fabric has transformed. It’s no longer a taboo to pair this fabric with other textured materials or prints like chiffon, wool, silk, leather etc. Now if you don’t pair your Ankara with this textured fabrics then you are not in vogue, some people might see you as living in the 90’s, you are perhaps too retro for the new world. So, as a modern woman who loves her Ankara fabric, you have to get in with the trend. First, it would be a smart choice to get a well-trained tailor for this purpose next would be to follow sites and blogs that bring you genuinely fresh, off the runway designs, this way you get to see the coolest looks that you can not only rock to parties but looks that would form your everyday ensemble.

There’s no shame in admitting it--when it comes to the red carpet, we’re all about who wore it best. But turns out, in our fashion-obsessed state, we’d been missing some pretty crucial beauty ideas. To change that, here are eight trends we spotted during this year’s awards season that you can actually wear IRL. Chrissy Teigen's Nude Lip The mom-to-be brought major attention to her pout at last week’s Grammy Awards with a perfect nude lipstick. The color was just a touch on the mauve side, so it made the look appear more warm than washed out. Hint: It’s perfectly suitable for everyday wear.

Kiernan Shipka's Brows We never thought we'd steal beauty tips from a teenager. But she's the chic-est little one in the game. To get her fluffed brow look for yourself, stock up on a tinted brow gel. This stuff is the magic key to textured brows in less than one minute. Emilia Clarke's Half-Up 'Do When was the last time you uttered the words “half up, half down”? In the year...mmm...2003? Enter: Emilia Clarke and her Golden Globes hairstyle. Nothing too extraordinary going on here, but that’s exactly the point. We love how her simple, pulled-back strands compliment her dress (and now we know how we’re styling on own locks for work tomorrow). Viola Davis's Bold Eyes and Lip Doubling up on bold colors is normally a makeup artist’s nightmare, but Viola Davis proves that two brights can, in fact, reign in harmony. Here’s the key: The colors are on the soft side (i.e., navy and pink, instead of your traditional black and red). But be sure to save this look for your next wedding reception, versus your next Wednesday afternoon appointment. Olivia Wilde's Non-Traditional Smoky Eye Unlike some of the others, this look is not something you’ll want to sport on your way to brunch. However, if a fancier occasion is on your horizon, reconsider your black eyeshadow and opt for a deep purple instead, like the Vinyl star did at the Golden Globes. Just maybe don’t go so far out of the lines. Katy Perry's Graphic Eyeliner There are certain things every woman should know: how to correctly pour a glass of wine, how to properly tie a scarf and how to do the perfect cat eye. To get Katy Perry’s Golden Globes look all you need is liquid liner and a bit of Scotch tape (trust). Then take a peek at our handy guide. Get the look: Benefit slanted eyeliner ($24) NBC Sophia Bush's Slick Ponytail Probably the easiest look to pull off, ever. Just load up on the frizz-fighting serum and style hair when wet. Your ponytail is guaranteed to last all day or, you know, through a five-hour awards ceremony.
