Indian Fashion jewelery

Fashion trends have been changing from day to day and change in fashion is the demand of the time. This change has also affected jeweler designing but along with it the basic designs of the jewelers had not changed.

In India I think mostly persons prefer ornaments made of gold as it is related to the aesthetic feelings of the Indians. Indian bridal outfit is incomplete without jewelers and that is also of gold and the Indian women feel proud of wearing gold ornaments and obviously look beautiful in it. Ornaments made of gold are essential of Indian weddings and it is called as the symbol of wealth and prosperity just like engagement and birth are incomplete without gold jewelers.

This precious metal is also presented as gift in weddings and also a part of investment. It is tied on the neck of the bride by the groom and is the main ceremony of the Indian wedding. In Gujarat brides wear MANGALSUTRA with gold and black beads with a traditional pendent.

The main thinking of wearing the pendent with black thread is to protect the marriage from evil powers. Rings are also very essential part of the jewelers and it is worn by both men and it is also a universalized symbol of marriage between two persons.

The Bobbi Brown Fashion Creamy CONCEALER Kit Help Freshen Tired Eyes

If you are worried about those faint dark circles under your eyes, which give you a tired look, you must use a good fashion CONCEALER. Sometimes, even when you have slept well and when your eyes look fresh and a fashion CONCEALER can hide defects that otherwise can’t be noticed in the mirror. However and many fashion CONCEALER contain chemicals that can damage the tender under eye area and hence I think it is very important to use a good fashion CONCEALER. Bobbi Brown new fashion CONCEALER comes with powder in a really chic package and could do wonders to your under-eye area.

All you need to do is use you finger tops and dab very little of the cream and smoother it gently with your fingers. The secret is to match your fashion CONCEALER with your foundation or else, you may end up looking too made up, which is something that you wouldn’t desire. The Bobbi Brown Creamy fashion CONCEALER Kit costs $32 and is available at Saks Fifth Avenue. Via

Zip Boots to Match Every Occasion

I have always desired to wear boots not only in an outdoor setting but also in a casual setting in the urban scenario. And this is a however most boots are either too rugged or just lack style. Hence, I have had second thoughts about buying boots as casual wear. If wearing boots reminded me of slushy and cold weather and of course rugged environs and I might probably might have been wrong.

Boots along with a good pear of denims always look not only good but also earthy and sexy. Cole HAAN fashion Collection has launched brown leather Dylan zip boots that meet every need and occasion. In color brown and they look pretty cool and snazzy. The boots come with grained leather are which gives a better contrast. The rounded toe is a departure from the usual pointed styles.

The boot shaft measures 7 and is enough to protect you from slush, and when you are in an urban setting, the boots look stylish. The Dylan zip boots are available at $171. Like they say, it is not the product that that goes wrong, but the man behind the product that makes it go wring. The designers have definitely done justice to the Dylan boots.

Truly Romantic Luxury Fashion Style

Romance is in the air these days and I just stumbled over the collection by Rita Saardi and which is suffused with the feeling of immense romance. The designer actually does not believe in any sort of artificialities and she actually champions natural and sumptuous feelings. This Swedish Designer and who has had Lebanese and Turkish roots, thinks that luxury fashion is not about aping the luxury style trend but it is to be your own self.

The luxury collection is suffused with charm and vitality that has nothing to with fabricated details and the whole luxury fashion collection gives a feeling that is tremendously overpowering and fascinating. The sensual outfits that have been designed by the designer with Turkish mentality display a world of dreams.


It just looks as if you are full of lovely feelings and are hypnotized by a wishful romance and it seems as if you have entered the idyllic world with this pristine collection. Hats off! The immaculate thinking of Saardi is commendable. In my opinion and the designer has maintained her love for nature and simplicity and the outfits ooze with a sense of elegance and beauty, I love this latest luxury fashion trends. Via

Fashion Wedding Dresses Javier SIMORRA

And as in time of fashion weddings are still minded to go sleek and sophisticated and this time from Javier SIMORRA. The Barcelona designer proposes a fashion collection of party dresses with steam in a silk fashion dress woman looking for a unique fashion style. Short or long for the day or night and always elegant and sexy to a woman feel attractive wearing designs that do not give up on perfection of the cut or the quality of fabrics.


Pastel shades with contrasting cooler hues and striking and fabrics that are tailored to the body allowing complete freedom of movement is a very comfortable not only be perfect at fashion weddings and summer holidays too. The first one I love and one heart neckline fashion design with printed abstract color that feels great when you are brunette and a fashion wedding dress perfect for any evening are the both religious and civil and I say no to a wedding on the beach and you will be the most beautiful of the fashion party. The second is a word of honor fashion dress with body shell and skirt wide and smooth are a more sophisticated model that is suitable for religious fashion weddings. Via

Move over jeans, Trousers are in

FASHION - Jeans will always be cool, of that there is no doubt. But its starting to look like they will have a lot of competition from the growing trend of wearing trousers.

You would think that jeans, perhaps the most proletarian piece of apparel, known for durability, strength and versatility, would soar during recession times, but instead blue jeans appear to have fallen out of favour with women (sales are down world wide over the past 8 months). Denim is practically a demi-god in the fashion world, but in this David and Goliath story it seems like the lowly trousers now has the advantage.

It used to be that blue jeans were kewl. Rebels wore blue jeans. Now everyone wears them. My grandma wears blue jeans. High school teachers wear blue jeans. George W. Bush wears blue jeans (he's really trying hard to fit back into civilian society).

Conclusion? Blue jeans aren't that kewl any more. The hip thing these days is the more counter-culture look of trousers, sometimes made of leather or my personal favourite, army camouflage.

In the world of jeans sales for three of the sector's publicly traded players – True Religion, 7 For All Mankind and Joe's Jeans – have declined in department stores. The market is over-saturated with too many jeans brands (and ridiculous prices) and everybody (and I hate to sound like a fashion snob, but everybody includes the ugly people) is wearing jeans now.

They've also run out of gimmicks too. Shredded them, rhinestones, sequins, tread marks, coutured leggings, acid washes, crystals encrusted in them... its been so over done. And its become two other things: Blue jeans aren't worn by rebels any more, they are worn by rich people and by squares.

Such an '80s term I admit, but that is the situation we're in. To borrow a Canadian term, jeans are for hosers.

"Denim was a symbol of youthful defiance, embraced by Marlon Brando, James Dean," writes Daniel Akst, a Wall Street Journal columnist. "Now we're all rebels, even a billionaire CEO like Steve Jobs, who wears blue jeans and a black turtleneck whenever unveiling new Apple Computer products."

So the laws of fashion dictate that its time for change. And if jeans are out, a different sort of pants must step up.

Trousers come in a variety of shapes: Drop-crotch, dhoti, high-waisted, full-leg, peg-leg, multi-pleated, harem – all different styles and all taking great strides to topple jeans in the popularity contest.

The unusual shape of trousers is another part of the new rebel look. It may look slouchy or slovenly, but they're also comfortable and compliment your legs by making them look thinner in comparison. They're more flattering than pants that cling and betray your faults.

The soft, comfy fabric is what wearers seem to love about the new-look trousers, especially the slouchy jodhpur-style pants. Quite a few are made from Lycra or rayon, giving them a bit of the '80s glam-rocker look.

Cycling Chic

FASHION - I've been doing some research and I think the hot new look for Summer 2009 is cycling chic.

And I've got the photos to prove it.



If you Google "cycling fashion" you will find a tonne of websites selling fashion for cyclists, both professional and amateurs. What I prefer however is clothes that is multi-functional, great for doing-whatever, but close fitting enough that you can ride your bike without hassle.



Note the text on the buttocks: Lucky Saddle. (Saddle is another word for bicycle seat for those out there not familiar with bike lingo.)



You may be tempted to go for the tight fitting clothing, which looks hot.



Or even a short skirt, which is cool too, but you will have to be careful about the length and how you sit to make sure it doesn't get tangled up.



A lot of girls, especially if its really hot out, prefer to shed some layers and maybe even opt for a tank top or bikini.



On cooler days you will want to maybe accessorize or wear something warmer because the breeze when biking can be chilly.



Think of your bike as an accessory. You don't want to ride any rusty piece of wheels. Think retro and fully restored, that or opt for something new and snazzy.



Depending on what you wear you start to realize how chic and hip you look. Definitely a way to attract hot guys who are also into cycling.



Don't be afraid to make your own riding uniform if you're planning to ride daily. Something that will allow you to shed or add layers depending on the weather, and won't show off your sweat (although some guys tell me there's nothing hotter than a woman dripping with sweat and smelling of pheromones).



If you get a summer dress just the right length you don't even have to worry about it getting caught or tangled up.



If you opt for something a lot longer, make sure its something you could hike up around your waist more or is more smooth flowing so it doesn't interfere with your ability to pedal.



Depending on where you are going (busy streets) you may want to get a helmet. You may feel a bit dorky so look for a helmet you feel makes you look hot, and while you're at it find a backpack or satchel so you can carry things easily. That or buy a bike with a basket.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Don't forget to keep your bike in tip-top shape by visiting your local bicycle mechanic for oiling, greasing, truing your tires, removing those nasty rust spots, replacing an uncomfortable seat and making sure the handlebars, pedals, etc. aren't behaving sluggishly.

After all, how fashionable will you be if your bicycle is a wreck and/or you end up in a crash and drooling out the side of your mouth all the time?
