A Saddle for your Shoulders

Horse racers use saddles in order to have that comfortable seat while attending to their competitive racing. Why does fashionista need one? I guess it would be to dress herself up by creating a well put outfit together. Well, in this case, this piece of accessory most probably will draw your attention to shoulders. Here is my new favorite, Hand Encrusted Collar which reminds me of a horse saddle with sequent detailing and beading just like the matador's colorful jacket during his bull fight but without sleeves.


Wearing one with a plain neutral color shirt & a pair of slacks will be a perfect duo for dinner & drinks. Somebody who is concerned about her small shoulders, Hand Encrusted Collar by Lutz and Patmos is a saver becasue it is creating needed extension as a shoulder pads would.

Neiman Marcus Spring 2010 Accessories Preview


I could not let it go unnoticed, that is why I decided to share this preview of Spring 2010 Accessories from Neiman Marcus. Current economic struggle, not only in the financial industry but also in retail, has made everybody work extra hard, especially designers who need to put an extra effort and try to create something new, fresh, eye-catching and extraordinary. I agree that most of the designers need to try hard to get in line with extravagant Rodarte, chis & hip Alexander Wang, breathtaking Balmain, newly reestablished YSL & of course, on top of them all is always classic Chanel. Neiman Marcus is one of the high end retail stores who is very picky about who they will display in their stores for the new Spring 2010 season therefore we might want to make a note of these fashion industry leaders.

Slater Mixed for Gladiator’s Taste

Some of the great finds of the seasons have been drawn upon designer Dana Lorenz who has created her own line of jewelry and luxury accessories called FALLON . I must say she has some of the unique pieces which have caught my eye before on the pages of Charm & Chain. Her creations are "bold fashion statements that always seem flow in the direction of the runways". Dana's background is in petry as well as art with drawbacks to her education from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and University of Iowa.


My favorite ones are in the above pictures which made of "glass and vintage Lucite cabochons, pyramid studs, and bright stones adorn these brass, rose gold, sterling, and gunmetal trinkets, sometimes complimented by chunky chains and even fabric to complete the look". I could not have summarized it better due to their complicated design and materials used. Please prefer below for her other jewelry pieces with an unique story to tell in each piece. That’s why her pricey tag comes out to $200.00 per necklace. So worth it though!

Please enjoy shopping and keep us posted on your purchases.

Hello, My Dear Bloggster,

I have been a member of several online shopping websites which provide exclusive savings on the designer clothing and accessories. Why pay full price if you can get these amazing discounts by just signing up & shopping in the convenience of your home or office. How it works is you get a notification of the sale which usually lasts about 48 hours (specific time is assigned to each sale). You have a right to purchase it at any time during that period unless merchandise sold out.

Here are some of my personal invitations for your reference:

Jump into a Suit with Nordstrom

jumpsuit

Jumpsuits just like dresses present an outfit in only one piece. Meaning - you do not need to add any other piece of clothing but only accessories like a nice pair of shoes, great necklace or earrings. If you think, it is easy to pick then you are mistaken since you must have "just the right" shoe & "just the right" accessory. Some shoes do not look good with jumpsuits since pants length comes down above your ankle and does have a flare leg style. Make sure you have a high heel with elegant opening on the toe and strappy detail. Wearing heavy bulky shoes will not work with jumpsuit.


Since jumpsuits usually come in one color, you can experiment with mixing up some reds, burgundy or dark blue, green and even silver or bronze shoes. I like Jessica Simpsons Gladiators & REPORT's Signature 'Reade' Sandal which you can also get at Nordstrom Online.

Can you handle too much PINK?

pink

PINK is my favorite color. Any color can make a huge difference in your life and actually affect your moods, feelings and emotions. Pink tends to make you happier and attract a lover into your life. WOW, that I didn’t know! This color in particular associated with "love, affection, warmth and compassion".


I tend to use a lot of pink colors in my make-up & accessories. You should think & try to find your own pink color which matches your features. You can hold a color against your skin and try to see which shade will bring out the most in you, I think my favorite one if CoCo Pink in CHANEL.

Some of the great Pinks of the season can be found in the following items which you can find online:

pinks-tar Essie Nail Polish #691 Flirty Fuchsia, $5.99

pinks-tar CK Calvin Klein Beauty Delicious Fusion Moisturizing Lip Color in Orchid Madness, $18

pinks-tar YSL Lip Color Tresor d' Afrique 5 Colour Harmony, $62

pinks-tar Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony, $22

One warning, please do not wear them all at once, you would need to mix & match with different colors to create a great look.

Make Yourself Ruffled Up

ruffles

One of my favorite websites is Etsy.com. It has some of the unique handmade crafts which you will never be able to find in stores. Designers are regular people who are wishing to show the world their skill in making something different. I have signed up for their daily e-mails and have found some great pieces of clothing, accessories and some decorative items for the house.

rufflies

My favorite would be DYANAS DESIGNS, they are simple T shirts with the low cut neck and handsewn oversized ruffles which make them look dressy and chic. They come in the neutral colors like black, white and grey but if you desire to have it in any other color, you can contact the designer to discuss. Designer uses "only the finest quality materials" to create her clothing. DYANAS DESIGNS shirts can be added to any two piece outfit, some jewelry, high heels & dinner outfit is ready. Prices range from $35 to $58 & they totally worth paying this price.
