We might be on a bit of an estrogen overdrive thanks the menswear being shown in Milan this week. This is making us exceptional prone to cooing over the silliest of girly accoutrements.

Partner Yoga Pose: Flying Bow

When you do Bow pose on your own while lying on your belly, it's really difficult to get a good stretch in your spine because gravity is working against you.

When you do Bow pose on your own while lying on your belly, it's really difficult to get a good stretch in your spine because gravity is working against you. Flipping the pose over with help from a partner and trying it upside down feels amazing. The person on top will get an unbelievable stretch in her torso, chest, and shoulders, and the person on the bottom will greatly appreciate the pressure and support on his lower back.

I know this pose looks like a really advanced move, but if you learn how to do it a step at a time, you'll be flying in no time. Keep reading to find out how to get into this safely.

Partner Yoga Pose: Seated Bow

One of my favorite backbends in yoga is Bow pose.

One of my favorite backbends in yoga is Bow pose. If you have a hard time holding your ankles with your hands, then you won't even be able to feel the amazing stretch in your chest and shoulders. So that's why doing this pose with a friend is so great. This is actually a move your therapist might do with you if you had a Thai massage.

While big sis Paris wore next to nothing for her Vegas birthday bash, Nicky Hilton opted for a classier ensemble with her Sass & Bide bow dress. The mix of silver accessories gives the look a relaxed feel. Some girls would be intimidated by a sexily dressed sister, but Nicky seems comfortable being the cute and covered-up sibling.

Cheap & Chic: Bow-tiful Tops

Bows are über girlie, but when paired with masculine pieces, they create an outfit nothing short of perfection.

Bows are über girlie, but when paired with masculine pieces, they create an outfit nothing short of perfection. Elisha Cuthbert has achieved just that. Her feminine, oversized, Phillip Lim satin bow top is downplayed by her high-waisted trouser jeans. Genius. Should you desire to tie yourself a bow, follow Elisha's lead, and do so for under $100.
