Ready for the holidays?

Carol | Must Haves | Monday, 22 December 2008

The holidays are always special and fun. I'm looking forward to them every single year !! Are you really ready for them? did you get all the presents you need to give to family, boyfriend or friends already? Well, if you are undecided still, here are some good fashion examples to make an impresive and greatly appreciated unforgettable impression !!

You can always opt for the coolest clothes, the hip accessories that are always very practical and necessary and or the high tech gifts that are so in this season and going strong.

Clothes you cannot pass with out:

nice turtleneck dresses, the LBD with some sparkle to it ... nice and super fashionistas fur jackets or even go wild and get a combo !! Meaning by that a two piece suit or pair a nice top with a fabulous skirt ... you have as you can see, endless possibilities.

Accessories that are pretty and always practical for that cold winter we're having are wool hats, cashmere pashminas, warm gloves to complete the look.

Turn for the shoes!! yes, shoes !! those are very very important. High heel boots with fringes are on top of the list, or little paillettes booties, so fashion this season or, cool black stylettos. Also pretty ballerinas for those whom prefere the more comfy flats are great.

High tech devices cannot be out of your list or a new phone ... that's always an awesome idea to keep in touch with the ones you love.

If you are more sophisticated and like the good pleasures of life, you can always choose in between a good bottle of cava or champagne, take your lover out to dinner for some delicious lobster, get some caviar or why not a sweet desert to cover it all up, huh? - only for those with a very very very sweet tooth - of course!!

other holiday gift ideas could be a nice jewel that would surely impress the receiver a lot. And i would go on and on and on .... but that's good for now.

Just remember, be creative too, because even a simple nice card with some money on it or a thing that you made yourself would also make your lovedones know that you care.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND NEW YEAR 2009 IN ADVANCE!!! :)

Nice Xmas Jewelry!

Carol | Accessories, Jewelry, My Faves | Sunday, 21 December 2008

When talking about jewelry I can recomend you many many fashion, timeless, and very nice or romantic pieces. Diamonds among all jewelry are the undisputed kings of all jewels of value, of course, meaning by that, only the natural stuff, not synthetics. On the other hand ... Emeralds, Sapphires and, Rubies are the most precious of all colored natural stones. Ruby is so called the king of precious stones for more detailed information. All of them, all of the different varieties that we can find in nature are just extraordinary so that, outstanding no matter the cut, shape or mineral species.

Thus, this will depend on your taste obviously and if the gem is more vivid or has more of a pale tone or hue of color. We cannot forget treatmetns either !! Sometimes, even though, many consumers may think that treatments are bad, they're mostly wrong 'cause these treatments are mostly used to enhanced them only. I still believe jewelers should be smarter and, do more discloser just to make the customer more relaxed and happier when making an important purchase.

Did you hear about the 4C's ??? Cut, Clarity, Carat Weight and, Color or Relief. Those are the key to find that perfect piece (of investment on the long run) and showing either love or great appreciation to someone special in your life.

I love Jewelry ... Some nice xmas pics I've chosen are this. Hope you are a jewelry lover too, that you choose widely and know your brands. Typical top top jewelry brands that i like the most are Tiffany's, Harry Winston, Cartier, Bulgari, Montblanc, Suarez, Carrera y Carrera, Vasari, Santi Pamies and Victor Caparros to name a few.

I'm sure you know other brands that are very well known as well but, don't be foolished by others like, for instance, TOUS because ... they're very expensive and not that good for what they are in reality  or may offer ... And i know for a fact what i'm talking about.

Just be smart, fashion, sexy and trendy this xmas !!!! :)

 

 

 

 

 

The High-Waist Skirt

Carol | Fall/Winter Fashion, Must Haves, My Faves, Skirts | Wednesday, 17 December 2008

The high waist skirt is the bomb. Looks good for any ocassion specially for a professional look at the office. It's an item that goes well with a satin blouse and nice shiny stylettos. Elegant, timeless, and the key to achive that "perfection - looking fab  & Sophisticated look" while dressing up quickly that we all look for. I'm sure you won't pass without it, or maybe, you already have two nice ones of different textures and/or colors; plaid high waist skirts are also IN right now.

If not ... that should be part of your fashion closet !!! :)

Baby Phat chinchilla-style bomber jacket

Carol | Fall/Winter Fashion, Jackets, My Faves, What's ON now | Thursday, 11 December 2008

I've always like the bomber jacket style. I think are very cool. Never had one really but, i'm working on it. I guess is because i didn't find the perfect one for me yet. Here, however, i did found one chinchilla style bomber jacket from one of my favorite fashion brands, Baby Phat. I discovered this brand while in US. 'cause a friend of mine is addicted to it and now that i have it in BCN i'm just all about it. I have several items from baby phat, i think it's a hip brand and has a lot of very nice pieces.

Here the example mentioned above ... Enjoy!!

Dempsey Rocks Versace

Carol | What's ON now | Friday, 05 December 2008

Patrick Dempsey, Dr. nice nice, rocks Versace fashion brand like no other celebrity. Versace knows very well how to make business and, moreover what a win win relationship means, so that, Dempsey is the best embassador for them. He's the hip face of the Italian Empire. His Sex-appeal, without a doubt,  is very appreciative by all of us, knows how to work it, has a very refined style that makes him irresistible !!! And we love it !!! :)

So, from Spring/Summer 2008 'til Fall/Winter 2008/09, Patrick Dempsey is the best choice for representing the super hip, always innovative fashion italian house, of the unexpected latest fashion trends as the best model for its publicity or advertising campaigns!!!

No wonder... Dempsey has been chosen as the most elegant man of 2008.

He rocks versace!!!
