When do you know you are obsessed with a show on TV?  When I have to watch it every night I know I am. That’s where I am at right now with "The Good Wife".  I developed a kind of curiosity of what the  female  characters wear and their accessories. It is interesting to watch how Daniel Lawson developed the looks for each character, including the jewelry they wear and it is amazing how much thought goes into the jewelry on this show, even for the background players. I admit I am a fan of this show so I love seeing the different female characters and their very distinct styles. They all work in a law firm which is known not as the most creative place of fashion and yet all manage to look stylish and individualistic, as well as professional.

While her husband is in prison, she is rediscovering her individual identity.  At the law firm, she...

Can Jewelry solve any problems?   Yes, jewelery can solve problems!  let me tell you how... Many times I asked myself why ladies like jewelry,  why is it important for some and not so  for others..... Why do we wear jewelry?  There are a few problems and here are the solutions. 1.   No confidence We all know that new hair style, new dress and new jewelry make us, women, feel more confident. In  some companies we feel sometimes that men can take over or even when we wear business  attire that doesnt look very feminine, we feel like we are losing our feminity. So in order to feel more feminine, wear some beautiful jewelry! or even better,  wear jewelry  that symbolizes femininity.   double strand pearl necklace 2.

Did you know that Etsy is a great place to look at handmade and vintage jewelry?  I would like to give you some tips about buying on Etsy since I am an Etsy seller and I have a shop on line.  Etsy is an online marketplace where people can sell things handmade things, vintage things, anything, really. You do have to be careful... don’t forget that anyone can sign up to sell on Etsy, and you’ll never really know what you’re getting it until you hold it in your hand. There is lots of stuff for sale on Etsy and you have to scroll through it to get to the treasures - but the treasures are worth it, and the hurt is part of the fun. Use always keywords to narrow down the search when you’re looking for something specific ("multi strands brown beaded necklace” is better than "brown beaded necklace").  You can use the category filters on the right-hand side to limit your results – for example, you can choose to see only vintage items, and from those ...

If you have rings you haven’t taken off in a while or necklaces you may notice they’ve lost their sparkle because of soap, hand lotion or dust which leave a film that dulls the sparkle of gemstones, and sterling silver gets black, it is time to do something about it. Should you go to your jewelry store? I don’t think so, it is not that difficult to do it yourself. Here are some easy, do-it-yourself tips that I apply myself on my jewelry. Cleaning diamonds Diamond can lose some of its gorgeous shine if it’s not regularly cleaned. The best mixture of cleaning solution for diamonds is ammonia or mild dish detergent with water. The ratio of this solution should be a quarter cup of ammonia to one cup of lukewarm water. After mixing the solution, simply let the piece of diamond jewelry soak in the solution for 20-30 minutes. Once this time is complete, gently brush the jewelry with a soft toothbrush. Make sure to avoid brushing the diamond too vigorously so it doesn’t move from its ...

I wish I could be taller.....  This post is not about jewelry but something I felt like writing especially as being a "petite"person. I dont have a magic trick to actually make you "grow"taller but at least I have a few easy styling tips and tricks that will make you feel you have grown taller. I can say that they work for me so why not for you? Dresses with slits: Allow your leg to peek out even if it is the slightest bit when you wear a mini, midi,or maxi dress. Your legs will look instantly longer without exposing too much. Nude Heels: Heels grant you a few more centimeters  of height, and nude shoes will elongate the lines of your legs and feet, whether you are wearing a mini skirt or boyfriend jeans! Wear one color head-to-toe: I love dressing in a single tone which gives the illusion of length. This trend is cairtainly on this season. If you dont like the pastel colors, try  blue or burgundy. Flare pants or jeans: Flares make everyone look ta...

I recently noticed headline after headline how Megan and Kate have similar clothes in different occasions, I became fascinated with the concept of “copying” (particularly outfits) and how my fellow adults, felt about it.  When I was at school I didn’t like my friends wearing the same clothes as I did, I liked to wear different clothes, I never wanted them to know where I bought them. Today celebrities sometimes wear the same, for example Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton… do they deliberately sometimes dress alike? In July, both wore yellow dress just a week apart.  In October, they wore similar maroon polka dotted dresses a few days apart.  On another occasion they had both burgundy looks on the exact same day.  It could be a coincidence but was it really? Taking into consideration how much thought goes into what the royals wear, that is quite unlikely. Is it a media strategy or are the two ladies just copying each other? As a youngster I w...
