Pair it with a gorgeous gown and you’re ready for a night on the town. Although eye catching and quite gorgeous, these necklaces are sure to weigh quite a bit on these women’s necks. A small price to pay to look fabulous!
Holiday Trends!!
In: Fashion News
16 Dec 2009With the Holiday Season upon us, everyone wants to look glamorous at those family and office gatherings! With so many designs to choose from, what direction does a lady go to stay trendy this season?
Short and flirty dresses are hot this season, turning up even at black-tie events. Keep these informal, sassy numbers playful and sexy. Be bold and show off your wild side!
Although the new trendy short dresses are taking over, remember that nothing encompasses glamour like a gown. So don’t toss your full length dress to the side just yet. Slender and simple gowns are the glamorous staple that every woman should own. A sweep train and some dazzling detailwork will really make you shine!

Whether you go for the short and flirty dress or the glamorous long gown, don’t forget to sparkle this holiday season!!! Cheers!
Seeing Turquoise in 2010
In: Fashion News
9 Dec 2009Forecasters are saying that tropical Turquoise is the hot new shade for 2010! The color was selected by Pantone as the color of 2010.
Insiders of the fashion industry all agreed that the tropical color is indeed on the rise. Turquoise is the kind of shade that puts everyone in the mood for vacation time!
According to Pantone, there was no runner up to Turquoise because people crave escapism and freshness after a tough year and this shade is both inviting and serene. Turquoise certainly puts me in a calm, margarita drinking mood.
“The women in my life wear it on vacation and it looks great with a tan on the beach,” says Tommy Hilfiger about the color turquoise.
Not only is this gorgeous shade being seen in clothing, but also in home furnishings, accessories, makeup and even cooking products!!
Turquoise is also a shade that can be worn all year paired with many different shades such as black and navy in the cooler months and coral or white in the summer.
Try to use this color to accent your home furnishings or help it “Pop” by using it on trim (a lampshade or piping). Try an accent wall in your home in this shade.
However you use it, don’t be hesitant to show your fashionable side and get in touch with your Turquoise!!
