Make your Own Set of Earrings

What can be more exciting than making your own jewelry? I have been personally addicted to this hobby. The way to start is collect the items that you no longer want, or do not wear often, also something that you can tear apart easily. Dont throw away or waste any of the products since every piece might be used and served its purpose towards your new creation. I have been collecting old jewelry and trying to put pieces together which saved me a lot of money.


refinery29.com has posted an article which provides you with an example of how different pieces can be used and inputted into one piece of jewelry. Many of the materials come from couture pieces of clothing and accessories. All of them are made with the bright colors and creative beaded pieces. The final result came out to be long multi-colored earrings which are adorable, look expensive, will work with any outfit and truly have a unique design. Try it out at home and send me any of your creations to katya@katyauk.com! I would love to see them!

ALEJANDRO, ALEJANDRO, Ale- Ale-JANDRO

Yes, this is what Lady Gaga is signing about lately. I am sure if she saw these ALEJANDRO boots, she would have fall in love with them right away. Even if it is so hot outside, we need to think of the upcoming Fall season and the new collection of boots. These furry creatures are on everybody’s list and they are hard to get even though they are priced at $1,720.30. You should get to know this designer's new collection.

His name is Alejandro Ingelmo. He is known as a new progressive man of the high-fashion footwear. His whole family has been in the same business for many generations in Cuba and they are definitely here to stay. He is a graduate of Parson School of Design in addition to his impeccable imagination and flamboyant taste.

Ripped Off By CHANEL

KatyaUK Jewelry 3-Day Sale - 25% OFF

(Code: MY25%OFF)

Some of us have been paying big bucks for those amazing Chanel purses. We cannot resist their influence on the fashion world. They have been the MUST HAVE bag for many years now and I think if you do not own one, it is a shame since they truly bring out the style & uniqueness of the couture world. Some people think Chanel purses are a total rip off but I think it is an antique item which will last you years.

I guess this is where the name came from and "Rip Off by Chanel" bagles became so popular. Chickdowntown.com is now selling JESSICA KAGAN's plastic bangles online which I consider to be so anti-Chanel propaganda. Speaking about the rip off, they are also not cheap, they cost $143.00 for the pair of White Resin bracelet. I guess people do not care if it is real Chanel, just having the word printed on any of the accessories makes the difference.

Moises De La Renta for Mango

KatyaUK Jewelry 3-Day Sale - 25% OFF

(Code: MY25%OFF)

Who could have thought that Moises will be taking his father's steps in quickly becoming famous in the fashion world. With the talent that he has and the passion for the fashion has brought him onto the pages of the magazines and blogs. The news rang that he will be designing a limited edition collection of T-shirts for Mango.

I think starting up at Mango and moving upto higher couture fame will be a perfect success ladder in the industry. It is certainly a bright path which will eventually earn him a spot in the Fashion Week.

The T-shirt collection was called MDLR which has integrated lots of jewels, chains, triple/double bows into the simple black, grey and white Tees. I am a bit late with the news since the London stores have been already selling the Mango T-shirts like crazy in 2009. With Moises's arrival in April 2010, the sales have only been going up and up. There are more surprises to come and designer’s couture influence. I cant wait for his full collection to come out, this is when he will be presented in his full light.
