When it comes to buying gifts for women, jewelry is one of the top choices. Of course you can always give candy or flowers, but these things are temporary. They only last a short amount of time. Jewelry, on the other hand, can last forever.

So let’s say you decide to buy a piece of jewelry as a gift for someone you care about; then you have to decide what type of jewelry to purchase.

Every woman has her own tastes and preferences. If you do not already know what she likes, look for these cues and see if you can decide what would be best:

Earrings- Earrings often work best for women who like to wear their hair up. When they wear their hair up they give the opportunity to highlight earrings whether they are studs or long earrings. Earrings do not work well for women with young children who will be attracted to the earrings and pull on them while they are still in their mothers’ ears.

Necklaces- Necklaces look great on most women. Most women wear tops with a scoop or v neck that offers the perfect showcase for a beautiful necklace. They are not for all women, though. Some women prefer not to wear necklaces because they have larger chests. Women with larger bust lines might run into the problem of a necklace falling right into their cleavage and drawing too much attention there.

Bracelets- Bracelets can be worn by most women and look beautiful. Bracelets are a less commonly worn piece of jewelry, though. They make an outfit look much fancier, so when going for a casual look women often leave the bracelet out of their outfit.

Rings- Rings are one of the most popular pieces of jewelry for women. Unmarried women often wear rings on both hands, while married women primarily wear extra rings on their right hand. Rings can dress up an outfit, or can keep an outfit casual as well depending on the type of setting and stone that you choose.

Before making a choice, try to watch the habits of the person you are looking to purchase for. If she often wears rings or often wears necklaces, that may be because those are the pieces of jewelry that she likes best. But check her jewelry stash to make sure. She may not wear necklaces simply because she does not have any that she likes.

Jewelry is a great choice when looking for a gift to give to a woman you care about. To make sure you get the best gift for her personally, watch her habits, and look for the things mentioned in the list above. You will be sure to make a great choice!

Turquoise has been described as the 2017 color of the year by Pantone. To be exact it is the color Pantone 15- 5519. And Pantone describes this turquoise as an inviting, luminous hue. There is something yes truly illuminating about turquoise. ‘Illuminating’ seems to be the right word. Turquoise doesn’t sparkle. Instead it illuminates and it is a color that can seduce too. But ‘seduce’ may not be the right word either. Scarlet reds and maybe blacks seduce but turquoise, a color of the sea, a color linked to Caribbean, Mediterranean waters calms and excites and illuminates rather than seduces.

Other words used by pantone for turquoise are tranquil and exciting. These might seem contradictory terms. But the effect of color is contradictory and actually there might be nothing contradictory at all in calling a color, both exciting and tranquil.

Still how can one truly describe the effect of colors? But the effect of colors is important. In fashion, colors can be used to electrify and excite e.g if turquoise was used with a metallic look or a certain type of fabric eg Mesh. Or it can be calming like with cotton. Anyway let’s not dig a hole.

Effects are important. The right effect is important for fashion. So turquoise should be used to create the right fashion effect and for 2017, Pantone is perhaps saying that turquoise is a color that can do this for 2017.

Turquoise is just a color and it needs to be used to create the right looks, and the right look needs the right fabric, style/design and also perhaps the right patterns, where the turquoise hue is part of a pattern e.g. with whites and other lighter hues or perhaps with more powerful hues like red.

One can perhaps imagine turquoise as having that loose effect, loose feel, effect. Perhaps it can be described as a color suitable for casual wear but to be more exact, it is a color for Spring and Summer where the casual look is important. It is suitable for the world of the beach or clubs, the afternoons where the sun shines and people rid themselves of coats and heavy jackets and color is important.

Imagine the drapy turquoise chemise dress, the drapy turquoise t-shirt and there the more fitted looks, the tight looks which accent the body, And turquoise is the sea color, the color of beaches, spring/ summer afternoons. It can be used for the popular gypsy dresses and the popular 70s styles which are in vogue. And turquoise is of course an illuminating color which means too that it is a powerful color so a simple turquoise chemise dress might be the right look. One might need subtle designs. Turquoise is a pure, simple color but powerful too and one might just need another color/hue for contrast e.g. white. And then there is black which combined with turquoise can create an edgy, stylish look. And one can move into the world of prints but here the effect of turquoise might be lost when combined with reds, purples, violets. Imagine the turquoise dress, shirt worn on the beach. One doesn’t really need a red, purple contrast hue with it. There is also turquoise combined with a green hue. Yes turquoise can be merged with other colors/hues to create interesting prints but this is really another area completely.

Turquoise can be used for different social functions/gatherings/parties. There are obviously different types of occasions. There is the beach party, the afternoon gathering too and turquoise is ‘there for that’. Turquoise can be imagined as a ‘t-shirt’ color, a dress color but it can be used as the skirt color in a separate look with another hue for the top area.

So turquoise can be used to create the cool warrior look. Think of a cool warrior walking along the sea. Actually a cool ‘girl’ warrior look because in the fashion world, warriors are usually women. The cool warrior wears the cool turquoise. And the warrior wears a dress but there is an edginess about the look. It is an edgy warrior look. Maybe there is a short turquoise chemise dress. The shoulders are shown and there is a purity about the turquoise here The emphasis is on the effect turquoise brings across. Yes turquoise is one color that can be used to style apparel for the months of sun; the seasons of sun, spring and summer.

Believe it or not, women are not the only obsessed with handbags, earrings and necklaces. Watches have joined up on that fashion accessory ride as well. Watches can be worn by everyone, and usually, women prefer a slim instead of a big bulky gold watch, while men prefer the exact opposite. Most men normally wear big watches nowadays, and more specifically, either a silver or gold watch is the standard.

Nevertheless, the number of people wearing watches has decreased over time due to the increasing popularity of iPods and cell phones that have replaced them. Instead of wearing a watch, they can just have one of those with them and be aware of the time through them. Then again, the fact that they are no longer a necessity has pushed watches to become more of a fashion accessory than they ever were before.

Gold watches are really favored by men because they make them look wealthier than they really are. On the other hand, some men are wearing a gold watch that is actually made from gold, and in that case, chances are that they are rich. Just like women, men can spend a lot of money and time trying to find a beautiful watch that they can wear, because they too are into fashion accessories. Just like women, men want watches that will look good on them when they are wearing them.

Even though there is no specific way to find a watch that a man would like, there are not as many styles to choose from. The most popular men’s watches mainly come in either silver or gold, unlike women’s watches which may include hundreds or even thousands of different combinations. This makes men’s life a bit easier than women’s when it comes to choosing a watch.

Unfortunately, since people tend to wear less watches than before, unless if it’s for fashion, watch manufacturers are slowly losing their customers, and do not keep up with the latest fashion trends styles. I guess it all comes down to money right? If a gold watch manufacturer doesn’t sell as much anymore, why would they produce more? The good thing is that some women have started leaning towards men’s watches which basically increases the target market for watchmakers!

When it comes to the hottest in girls’ fashions for ages 2 to 6, mix and match is out and coordinated looks are in. This means girls who are styling have the bases covered from head to toe.

Getting a handle on just what coordinated means is a little tricky for parents who aren’t hip on the fashion scene. For an outfit to really dazzle, it needs to have a few extra components to make sure it’s done up just right. When the following special touches are included, here are some children’s designer clothing that fits the style trend to the letter:

• Boutique dresses: Tops and bottoms or dresses. From pretty neutrals and bright pastels to funky prints, these need to offer a style that’s all their own. Tops and bottoms must match or complement extremely well to fit the trends in little girls’ style.
• Hair accessories. Bandanas, bows, bands, hair ties and even kerchiefs need to complement the look. While after-the-fact accessory buys can work, the most standout of hairpieces match the tops, bottoms or dresses with the exact same colors or prints. Don’t underestimate the impact these have on tying a style all together.
• Totes. Little girls just love little purses. When style matters, these absolutely have to match. After purchases work very well, especially when they’re designed to go with shoes. Still, there is something particularly distinct about totes and purses that match the materials of tops and bottoms.
• Shoes, socks. Most coordinated fashions for girls 2 to 6 don’t come with footwear to match, but choosing carefully really tops off the look. Select colors that match or go with neutrals that fit and style.

Some of the hottest types coordinated fashions for children’s designer clothing include:

• Camouflage outfits. Move over little boys, there are new commandos in town. Little girls just love adding their own style to camouflage. Add in a little lace, ribbons or bows and they’re ready to make a statement that’s all their own.
• Fun and funky prints. Jungle, party, abstract prints and more are all on the in list along with much more. The bright and bolder, generally the better. When offset with the right coordinates, these really please the little girl who likes to stand out from the crowd.
• Delicate patterns. Set in pastels and just barely noticeable, delicate patterns and prints make a subtle statement that’s just right for sophisticated tastes.
• Spectacular solids with just the right embellishments. The sleek sophistication of solid colors is not missed in little girl trends. When the right embellishments are added, such as appliqués or ruffles, she’ll look like a princess.

Every year around this time all the Glam and Style magazines are a buzz as to what the designers unveiled at “fashion week”. 2007 seems to be no exception, as women everywhere want to know what fabrics, textures, colors and accessories are hot. Although spring has just begun, this article will discuss the new fashion styles already exploding on the scene.

With so many fashion designers out there, they don’t always seem to agree on all the new fashion styles presented on the runway. One thing they do agree on is the “preppy/prissy look”. To achieve this look, wear an Oxford shirt with either a tennis skirt (Yes! They are back in style) or a mini skirt (but not too MINI, so where as each step you take reveals what God gave you). If you really want to achieve this look, add a color coordinated tailored blazer. Topping the look off with a pair of strappy or chuncky sandals. For the more athletic look, wear a bright colored tank tee with a fresh pair of cool sneakers.

Another unanimous inclusion to this year’s fashion style is embellishment. Done the wrong way and embellished clothing spells DISASTER. The way to avoid this is by finding monochromatic pieces. This meaning clothing with diamond studs, beads, etcetera with a single color. Favorites the designers love are silver, copper and bronze. Most popular are the blouses or dresses adorned with crystals, beads or even edgy studs that move freely and flow fashionably on the body. When you find a blouse or a dress that is simply “to die for”, go for the total “glam look” by adding a pair of strappy or chunky high heels and a matching handbag.

Patent leather has resurfaced as another hot material. It’s popping up on more than just accessories this season. You can find patent leather coats, skirts, purses and shoes. The “new patent leather” gives a boost of high gloss finish anywhere it presents itself. However, you must keep in mind to make sure to keep it simple when wearing this material, so not to have it clash with other textures that are also on the scene.

Finally, the finishing touch….accessories. Statement jewels are all the rave this season. Showing up on everyone who is anyone, from New York, NY to Milan. Bangles on one or both wrists will make any ensemble you put on, sizzle with pizazz! (Most designers recommend gold, it never goes out of style) If bangles aren’t for you, you may feel more comfortable in a big bold necklace with matching earrings (something with spring colors that compliment what you are wearing). Embellished handbags are always a bonus.

These are just SOME of the new fashion styles hitting all major and minor department stores worldwide. With all the different designers, styles, prints, textures and colors, it’s enough to have you feeling overwhelmed. With a little time and practice, you be able to pick out the perfect ensemble and accessories in an instant! A guarantee to feel as beautiful as you will look!!

In a world extraordinarily focused on outward appearance, we need only to open a magazine or turn on our televisions to see the latest and greatest fashion trend; it walks the red carpet, checks out a movie premier, and heads out nightly to the hottest restaurants. And we, as a society always mindful of what’s popular, follows dutifully along, eager to purchase the “must have” item of the season. But, ultimately, the fashion style that works best for us is that which looks good on our particular body and reflects our very individual personality.

As anyone who follows the fashion industry will tell you, trends come and go. What is one year’s hot item is the next season’s fashion “don’t.” Designers present their newest lines and before you know it stores are carrying these clothes in every conceivable variation. And then, just as quickly, they’re gone. It’s almost impossible to keep pace. Luckily, the fashion style that makes the most sense on an individual level is the fashion style that reflects who we are as people; and that never goes out of style.

The most important thing to remember is that just because a particular fashion style is popular at the moment does not mean that it will look good on your particular body. Wearing something just for the sake of wearing it ultimately goes against the principles of fashion. A fashion style that you choose to wear should be something that accentuates your positives, downplays your negatives, and complements the overall line of your body.

Take the time to get to know your body and what styles work best with it. Assess your body objectively; if you have trouble spots, look for cuts and fabrics that camouflage what you need them to camouflage; if you are on the shorter side, look for a fashion style that elongates your body; and always choose colors that complement your skin tone.

Once you find a style that works – stick with it and add your personal touches to reflect your personality; that is the best fashion style you can possibly wear.

There are quite a few varieties of fashion shoe and handbag styles, but some are better known than others.

Status handbags are more expensive than others, but designer handbags are something that many women like to splurge on, to make themselves feel good.

Marc Jacobs tweed bags show that the 80’s can still be fun if we remember them fondly. This company truly understands the retro influence on fashion, and each creation is proof that Jacobs is a quirky genius as a designer.

Muse bags are made by Yves Saint Laurent, and they make many accessories as well, for women looking for a chic flair. Muse merges different styles into feminine and unique bags and accessories that are sure to compliment women’s active lifestyles. These bags are playful and a little sexy, and they make handbags in many different sizes.

Coach is possibly the best known designer of handbags and shoes. Coach heels and Coach boots are among the most highly favored of the designer shoes available, and this brand combines logic and magic to create shoes and handbags that are obviously made of quality materials with good value and an American style that is distinctive and inspirational. Each pair of Coach sneakers or Coach heels reflects the attributes of the Coach brand.

The success of Coach shoes and Coach boots, as well as their well-known handbags, shows off their devotion to fairness and honesty, as concerning their own business as well as the communities they are located in. The company stands behind Coach shoes, Coach sneakers and handbags, because they realize that their reputation is reflected in everything they make.

You can find Coach boots and Coach heels at retail stores and sites online. Originally their handbags were made from the same leather used for baseball gloves. Now there are so many styles of Coach shoes, too, that you are never at a loss, regardless of the occasion. They use other materials in addition to leather now, to craft their fine Coach boots and Coach shoes. Available in every fabric and style you might want, Coach shoes are the toast of the town. While their most current collection tends to show off many casual espadrilles, flip-flops and sandals, you can also find the Coach name on excellently-designed sandals and stilettos.

From every perspective, bracelets are absolutely great adornments for fashion conscious women to make their fashion statement and infuse their personal styles with new vitality. Great bracelets can help to set you apart from the crowd. With the embellishment of gorgeous bracelets, your old outdated outfit may even obtain new glamour beyond your expectation.

Over the years, the designs and styles of bracelets have evolved a lot. Apart from the traditional silver and gold bracelets, you can also find leather wristbands, wood bangles and many other bracelets made from unique materials of distinct styles. Nowadays, personalized or customized wristbands are really popular. People like to attach pendants carrying special meaningful notes to the bracelets as their lucky wristband.

Bracelets can help to highlight one’s personality greatly. Just like clothes or any other fashion accessories, stunning bracelets do have the ability to make you stand out in the crowd and make a deep impression on others. For example, rock and roll style bracelets can reflect your bold characters and funky fashion attitude.

Generally speaking, chunky jewelry is in trend this season, while there are still many people who show their constant passion for subtle and tiny jewelry. No matter whether it is a chunky style or tiny style, it is really chic to wear several pieces of bracelets together at the same time.

You must believe that gorgeous bracelets can add great fancies to your outfit and do you a great favor to become the center of attention. However, when you select the bracelets, you should still stick to your own preference and personal style.

Have you ever wondered what a style icon is? Can a style icon actually be a fashion victim, someone who cannot help but follow all the trends all the time? This couldn’t be further from the truth! They are actually women who have the whole package: fashion style, personality and confidence. Such a person doesn’t ever follow a fashion trend but creates them.

In our days being a style icon means much more than having good taste. What you wear seems to be less important than how you wear it. But back in time style icons helped us shape the way we think about fashion and style.

One of the ladies that has re-written the book of fashion is Gabrielle “Coco” Channel. Not only has she dazzled the whole world with her creations but she is responsible for the famous “little black dress” and her famous perfume, among many other things. Jackie Kennedy might have had a tormented life but her fashion style was way ahead of her time. She was among the first women who wore jackets designed by Coco Channel with a simple pair of jeans. Another important style icon that has impressed the audience not only because of her slender figure and pixie haircut but by the simple and yet fabulous way she wore even the most common outfits is Audrey Hepburn.

In our days the style icons are many but among the first that come to mind are: Kate Moss, Michelle Obama and Sarah Jessica Parker. Their styles can be adopted by almost every woman. Having a style of their own these three powerful women are not afraid to express their personalities through the outfits that they put together. Kate Moss is famous for her sexy clothes as she can be seen wearing short pants and leather jackets most of the time when she goes out. SJP on the other hand opts for glamorous and romantic clothes that impress everyone on the red carpet. Because most of the time she appears at official meetings, Michelle Obama chooses to dress elegant and yet casual and practical. Her choice in clothes is admirable and can be an inspiration for most women.

Fashion is relative and it is the way you wear the clothes that matters. Trusting your instincts is something that you should do at all times. You can create wonderful and original outfits by choosing to wear the things that you look and feel great it!

There is no doubt regarding the assertion that jewelry can make a grand gift for special occasions. It’s is also no wonder why this time-honored custom of giving fine and fashion jewelry pieces is welcomed and cherished, as symbols of love, thoughtfulness and appreciation. Jewelry watches are one of the most thoughtful and practical of such gifts of jewelry that you can give.

The smart and wise gift giver is able to make their gift do double duty when they select a watch for the recipient. A wonderful watch that is embellished with precious metals and high-quality gemstones expresses a sentiment of caring and provides an opportunity to display that sentiment with a bit of show and style.

Indeed, such a gift will also be appreciated because it is useful, as well as adding a bit of bling to the recipient’s ensemble. For women, a white gold watch face surrounded by white, sparkling cut diamonds is a good choice. For the modern man, perhaps the black diamond, interfused with smaller white diamonds would be a perfect, avant-garde choice.
rue of the many styles and designs that obviously strive to give people the maximum amount of attention getting flash and sparkle that is so often sought out these days, by people who love to display their bling in a big way.

There is such a huge selection of styles, brands, colors, embellishments and size in watches that sometimes it can make it difficult to decide on the right one. If you are planning to buy a fashion jewelry watch for someone as a gift, then try to get some clues from them, which might make it a bit easier for you to decide which one to purchase.

When shopping for watches for someone else, try to think about the type of fine jewelry you see them wearing on a regular basis. Once you can envision their various costume jewelry or diamond jewelry pieces that they typically wear, you will have a clearer idea of their personal taste and style and can tailor your selection to match their collection.

Another great way to get some ideas about which watches might be among the top picks for your gift giving is to find an opportunity before the special occasion to visit a jewelry store together. Observe what they respond to most and which styles they seem to be most attracted to and what brings a real smile to their face when they touch and handle timepieces.

You will be able to gather a lot clues in this way. If you can’t find a way to get to the store together, then just thumbing through a catalog of fashion jewelry or browsing some internet sites will also reveal the same information if you pay attention.

You don’t have to wait around for someone to think about giving you a jewelry watch as a gift. Many people like to indulge themselves with jewelry watches simply to spruce up the wardrobe or to increase their fine jewelry collection. At the same time, these stunning timepieces are a great way to treat yourself with something nice that you know you deserve.
