Discount Suits In A Tough Economy

By Victor Santerino

Today's tough economic climate has made people much more aware of what they are spending their money on. This may mean that you need to lower the amount of dollars you spend each month on clothing. However, this does not mean you should go to work in your birthday suit.

Stores are yearning to sell consumers discount suits as much as people are yearning to buy them. I wrote this article to give you a better idea of where to find these discounts.

Traditionally I have told people to move past the department stores and specialty shops and move towards e commerce, thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales. This still holds true in some cases but not all.

Searching the local Sunday newpaper has become a great way to find nice local deals at department stores. Your local Sears or Macy's department store can be a great place to find slashed prices.

Consumers that are not afraid to buy clothing without a return policy should check out store closings. These stores have set close dates and must sell all of their products before they shut down. I have gotten great deals off of some of these tragedies in the past.

Yard sales and estate sales are still viable places to find discount suits. Look for these sales in your local newspaper or classified ad to find some of these hot spots for great used suits.

Shopping local thrift stores can be a fun way to save money on local used suits. However, this is not always the most efficient way to quickly find some nice suits.

Web sites all over the world can provide suits at much lower prices than most brick and mortar stores. These companies have fewer overhead costs and as a result you save money by buying from them rather than a traditional store.

Finding Replica Tiffany Jewelry

By Elvin Retinz

Replica Tiffany jewelry is not uncommon to the fashion world. Because Tiffany jewelry is known for its quality and design, it is desired by many including both those who can and those who cannot afford its high price. To provide the opportunity for everyone to enjoy the designs of Tiffany jewelry, including those who cannot afford the high cost, jewelry makers have created replicas of the original jewelry designs.

Often, jewelry designed by certain designs like Tiffany & Co. is so popular and has a look so distinct that it becomes a trend itself. When this occurs, it has become quite common for jewelry makers to replicate the original pieces and sell what is referred to as "replicas." The replica jewelry can be produced using a mass manufacturing technique or it may be created individually by a jewelry maker in an attempt to create recognition for their skill and resulting product.

Tiffany jewelry has inspired many follow the lead of these jewelry makers making replica Tiffany jewelry a good business for those participating. Jewelry inspired by Tiffany, from necklaces to engagement rings, hopes to copy the elegance and luxury of the original Tiffany pieces but do so without the naturally high cost of diamonds and other precious stones.

Basically, replica jewelry is a realistic way for many to wear Tiffany styled jewelry at an affordable price. You can purchase a replicate Tiffany piece made of many different materials intended to copy the original Tiffany piece. You may find jewelry made with silver instead of platinum or using quartz crystal instead of a diamond, among other materials to resemble the authentic look of original pieces.

With the ability to replicate Tiffany jewelry, dishonest traders will try to pass off replicas of Tiffany jewelry as originals. Always look for the Tiffany & Co. engraving or signature mark on the jewelry. If you cannot find such markings, is not an original Tiffany piece as all Tiffany jewelry has this one identifier.

Another way to identify a questionable seller of replica Tiffany pieces is if the dealer has multiple sizes of certain piece. Or, look at the platinum. If it is too shiny, it is probably a replica. Take the time to compare the piece of jewelry with other known original pieces so you can assess its authenticity.

When you purchase replica Tiffany jewelry, you are buying a design based on a classic style that remains desired in the fashion industry. The availability of replica Tiffany pieces just shows how desired the designs and trend of Tiffany jewelry still is among jewelry makers and fashion.

How to Buy Jewelry for Women - Ideas for Men

By Blue Lily

Buying jewelry for the woman you love is a challenge at best. Here are the questions to ask: What are my choices? What does she want? What size? How much should I spend? These are all good questions.

You have choices of the type of jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Then you have choices of metals, yellow gold, white gold, platinum, silver and more. And then there are the gems. Make a mental note - real gems are always better than fake gems. Even a small authentic gem is preferable to a large fake gem. If you have any doubts, ask a woman.

To determine what she may like, watch what your woman likes to wear. Take a peek in her jewelry box. Women usually have some very specific ideas about what kind of jewelry they link and want. Pay attention because details matter. The next time you visit the mall together, make it a point to visit some jewelry counters. Pay attention to what catches her eye.

What size should you buy? Your options are limited here. First, ask her family & friends. If that doesn't work, measure any rings, necklaces, and in her jewelry box. As a last resort, sneak one or more of the pieces into a jewelry store so they can size it for you. Make notes for later on.

Other than important occasions like anniversaries, the price tag isn't as important as some may think. It's the thought (and the preparation) that counts for most women. If you're still dating, a good general rule to follow is that the value of the gift should be based on how long you've been together. If you spend too much things can get awkward. If you spend too little you look cheap.

Where to start? Start by surfing the Web. Learn jewelry basics. Learn about different metals, and gems. Get a feel for prices. Locate some retailers in your area. Do you need a list of birthstones? Make notes. This information will be useful for future purchases.

Shopping doesn't come naturally to many guys. We often avoid it. There's a saying: women shop, men buy. But you'll have to do at a little shopping this time to find the right gift. If you've done your homework, you'll be fine. Visit several jewelry stores and compare value and quality, not just price. Buy from an established company.

How should you present the gift? Will it be in a romantic setting? How about as an unexpected surprise? You want her to remember it for a long time, so be original.

What are the Most Popular Types of Designer Frames?

By Amy Nutt

Eyeglasses used to be a burden to people. They were not very stylish, they felt like they weighed a ton, and they were extremely large in size. Unfortunately, those individuals could do nothing about it because they needed the glasses to see. There were children trying to get out of wearing their glasses, but they would have to wear them while they did their studies. At the same time they were humiliated as the other kids called them "Four Eyes" and "Geek."

Times are definitely not like that. Billions of people have to have their vision corrected. Usually, they correct their vision with eyeglasses first and will move to contact lenses later. Fortunately, though, more and more people are finding satisfaction with their eyeglasses. This is great for those who may not be able to wear contact lenses. The advent of designer frames has made wearing eyeglasses a lot more bearable.

Popular types of designer frames

There are many types of popular designer frames. They come in all different shapes and sizes. They also come in many different colours. It just more or less depends on your eye colour, your hair colour, and the shape of your face. But no matter what your physical features are, you?re going to find a designer frame that will take care of you.

Each manufacturer has their own unique style and it is that unique style that reels people in. One person may like Tommy Hilfiger, while the other person may like Calvin Klein because of the style.

The different types of designer frames out there include: Coach, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Dolce Gabanna, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Chanel, Dior, and many more. These are the individuals that are responsible for the rectangle designs that offer up a little bit of flair. For those needing a more round frame, perhaps a frame by Coach will get the job done. You can usually distinguish the different brands by looking at them if you're familiar with their styles.

The purchase

You have so many options when it comes to purchasing designer frames. You also have several buying options. You can always buy from your optometrist or a dispensary. Then again, you can purchase your desired designer frame on the Internet. This means you're going to have a lot more to choose from. You're not limited to the inventory of your optometrist or dispensary. Just make sure you are familiar with what frame shapes and colours look good on you. You definitely don't want to get something that is going to look terrible.

Then there is the fact that your prescription is going to determine what looks good on you. Those who require extremely thick lenses may not do well with a rimless or half-rim frame. So that is something else to keep in mind.

Most importantly, having so many buying options allows you to compare your prices. You can find the best frame and the best deal for you. You do, however, need to make sure you're able to have your prescription placed within the frame. It doesn't do any good to have a designer frame if you cannot use it to see out of. There is also the fact that you may find so many great deals that you decide to buy several different frames. Maybe one day you're in a certain mood and you choose your frame for that day. That's a good way to mix it up because, let's face it, designer glasses are now a fashion statement. They're not a burden anymore. Perhaps that is why more and more people are making the decision to wear their eyeglasses over their contact lenses.

Makeup Tips for the Cold Weather Season

By Makeup Girl

Have you ever realized that it is much more difficult to apply mascara and other eye makeup products in the wintertime? When it starts to get chilly out, you will probably notice that your mascara and eyeliners will be a little stiffer and more difficult to apply. Your eyeliner might even be less supple than it usually is, and might have less color impact. This happens because the lower temperatures can cause problems when it comes to makeup application - and especially eye makeup application. I have a few key makeup tips that will help make your eye makeup routine a little easier this winter season.

The key to a smooth eyeliner application is to have it be the right temperature. It is so frustrating when eyeliner is too cold and hard and doesn't seem to want to go on. The exciting thing is that each of us has a secret weapon; our bodies. Your body heat has just the right effect on your eye makeup to get it to the perfect temperature without over warming it. If you just stick your eyeliner right next to your hip letting the elastic on your pants hold it to your body, after a few minutes, it will be ready. I always do my hair while my eye liner warms up.

The same trick works for your mascara. If mascara is too cold when you are trying to apply it, it is often thick and too many of your lashes will stick together causing the "tarantula" look to your eyelashes. To avoid this problem, you can use the same technique as used with the eyeliner. Simply allow your body temperature to warm up the mascara. I find that the mascara usually takes just a little bit longer than the eyeliner to warm up so you'll want to factor that into your time to get ready.

I never apply mascara without curling my lashes first. With that in mind, I have one final tip to help your lashes look their best. To get the best curl from your lashes, you can warm up your eyelash curler. Think about it, you use a warm curling iron to curl your hair, why wouldn't your eyelashes curl better if the eyelash curler were warm. I will use my body heat to help warm my eye lash curler.

Sometimes, when I don't have much time, I will use my blow dryer to warm the curler. Be sure to just use it on low heat for only a few seconds and then test the curler to make sure it is not too hot so it doesn't damage your sensitive eye area. So this winter, when the cold sets in, try out these makeup tips to help you make the most of your makeup and look your best.

Straw Cowboy Hats: Bargain Fashion

By Ned Dagostino

The cowboy hat is steeped in the lore of the Wild West! The hat was an essential feature of outdoor life. It protected the cowboy from the weather, and doubled as a temporary vessel for water. More than 150 years ago John Stetson gave the cowboy hat an aura, a branding which has now turned it into a fashion statement. Straw cowboy hats are as popular today as they were two hundred years ago.

In fact all types of cowboy hats are making it big on the fashion scene. Handsome hunks sport them, and so do svelte supermodels. They are an enduring symbol of the rough, tough, handsome 'knights' of the Wild West epitomized by such screen legends as John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Can you forget that scene between Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef? Central to the scene was a cowboy hat that gets shot up and goes flying up in the air? Fairly makes me tingle, dagnab it!

Among all types of cowboy hats, the straw cowboy hat is by far the most popular. They appear to be the all time favorite of hobby gardeners. Tourists have their pictures taken in them. Going on a picnic? Don't forget to carry your straw cowboy hat! Anything is a good enough reason to wear a straw cowboy hat, especially in the summer.

Do you know why straw is used in cowboy hats? It keeps the weight down. Wearing straw cowboy hats for a long time is not fatiguing at all. Then the woven design helps air to circulate inside the hat, thus keeping the head cool. The wide brim helps to keep the sun's glare from your eyes. Your head is protected from the sun's heat. The only drawback is that it doesn't keep the rain from your head.

The straw that's generally used for making straw cowboy hats is called toquilla straw. Of course other varieties of straw are used too, but toquilla is considered the norm. So when you're out shopping for a straw cowboy hat, just check that the straw is toquilla or better.

The straw cowboy hat made of toquilla is also called a panama hat. That's because panama is very close to Ecuador, the home of the toquilla straw that goes into the making of the panama hat. OK, I agree, someone got a little geographically confused! Thinking of buying a straw cowboy hat? Here's a tip for you: try the gardening section at a department store! The awfully nice thing about these hats, apart from their romantic good looks, is that they don't cost you the earth. They're downright cheap to buy.

So, I hope you know why straw cowboy hats are so very popular. They are light on the head, so you don't feel burdened even after a long time. They're cool to wear out in the sun. They're much cheaper than other kinds of cowboy hats. And oh yes, they do keep the sun off of your head, and the sun's glare from reaching your eyes!

Profitable Arenas in the World of Men's Jewelry

By Elias Riftinger

Okay all you manly men you, jewelry is not only for women any longer. David Beckham has become world wide famous for his amazing skills as a soccer player, however, he is also famous for something else. David Beckham is also a jewelry designer.

He has made his mark in the world of men's jewelry and this is quite the accomplishment. He was the first man to wear diamond earrings that were two diamonds each. He is taken so seriously in the world of design, culture, and what's hot, that it was taken seriously. It allowed men to become more interested in jewelry. Its also become a fashionable engagement gift for men.

His first attempt as a designer came at his pre-World Cup party. It was there that he put his men's jewelry on an incredible display. However, he could not do this alone. He was helped by Ashley Cole who is England's full back. He arrived in style, wearing a dinner jacket and no shirt underneath. Instead of a shirt, Cole displayed pieces of men's jewelry.

It was after this party that David Beckham then showed off his skills as a designer when he placed a diamond watch up for bit in auction for charity. The watch was created by a man named Jacob Arabo. He is a very talented designer as well. His jewelry was become popular not only with the help of Beckham but also because he pushes the envelope and creates beautiful pieces for men who want to wear jewelry.

It is thanks to these men that jewelry can be enjoyed by both of the sexes. The most trendy men in society today are found wearing beautiful jewelry and this allows the average man to feel more comfortable to do the same as well. It is acceptable for men to wear stylish necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and that is not all. The old style of men with chest hair and gold chains has long passed. It is stylish and desirable for men to wear jewelry and as the trend continues more pieces and items are available as well as being more affordable.

Manufacturers of fine jewelry now have a whole new consumer list to attract and make products for. This will in turn make them more money and create a greater clientele base. It seems that this trend is not going to fizzle anytime soon and that creating and designing men's jewelry is quite a profitable excursion. So come on men, diamonds are for you too.

The Secret of Suit Colors

By Victor Santerino

The most ignored area of a suit purchase is undoubtedly the suit color. Many men feel that they should choose their suit color based off of what color they like best. However, what men really need to look at before choosing a color is which color works best for them.

This article was crafted to give men a better idea of what color they should wear. Areas evaluated are skin hues, special occasions, and body frames. The colors we will talk about are brown, gray, tan, blue, and black.

Wearing a black suit to a funeral is a must. It is also usable in office situations and formal events such as award ceremonies. Men with slender bodies and extremely pale skin should try and stay away from this color as it has a tendency to make them look frail.

Wearing a blue suit to an interview with a red tie is known as the "power suit". This makes this suit ideal for interviews and everyday business wear. Lean body types with lightly colored skin look best in this suit.

The brown suit is a highly overlooked office suit that looks fantastic on all body types and most skin shades. However, men with very light skin should probably steer clear of this color. This suit can also be worn to formal events and is a unique way to positively stand out at a wedding.

Wearing a gray suit usually says "I'm going to the office". This color is great for the business arena and should be purchased by any man looking for an everyday suit. All skin shades and body types should own a minimum of one charcoal gray suit.

The tan suit is a nice suit for spring and summer weather. This suit can be worn to outdoor social events and less formal office settings. Men with large builds or light skin colors should avoid this suit as it is not very flattering for them.

Suits come in many more colors than were covered in this article. However, the colors written about today are the most commonly worn colors on the market. As always thanks for reading.

Get Reasonable Tiffany Pieces with Replica Jewelry

By Elvin Retinz

Although customized jewelry is easy enough to buy these days, there is simply something very special about owning your own piece of designer jewelry. Designer jewelry brings with it a legacy and a history all its own; when you own a piece of designer jewelry, it is like owning a piece of fashion history, and everything else that goes along with it. A case in point is Tiffany jewelry. Despite having been in business for more than 100 years, Tiffany jewelry is still in extremely high demand all over the world. The price may not always be reasonable, but the cache of owning a piece of Tiffany can make it well worth while for some.

More Than A Century of Business

Tiffany jewelry has been in demand since 1845, when Tiffany and Co. first opened their doors as a trading house. Although the company originally specialized in silver goods and gift items, their silver jewelry designs are what earned them fame all over the world.

The reason Tiffany has maintained its hold on the jewelry market for so long is simple - quality. It should come as no surprise that Tiffany jewelry is the most copied and replicated pieces of jewelry in the world; everyone wants a piece of Tiffany jewelry, even if getting one means settling for a fake, knock off version. Most jewelry designers aspire to be as associate with style and quality as Tiffany, and so many of the replicas of Tiffany jewelry that are out there are of very high quality - these designs gives non-Tiffany designers a chance to try their hand at the best.

The high availability of knock offs can however make purchasing the real thing tough on some consumers. Because Tiffany fakes are so easy to find, it is also easy for people to get conned into buying what they think are Tiffany pieces that are really knock offs. There are a few ways to avoid Tiffany jewelry scams. For one, you can choose to buy only from Tiffany themselves.

You can also check the jewelry you are buying for the telltale Tiffany engraved emblem. You can also have your jewelry appraised by an expert. Any jewelry appraiser worth his salt will be able to spot a Tiffany fake a mile away. These tricks will help you stay ahead of the curve when purchasing Tiffany jewelry. Though noone would be able to tell from your engagement picture poses, you would know if you had the real thing.

If you don't have a Tiffany budget, look for good quality replicas in high end stores like Saks and Neiman Marcus. These replicas can be so good, only you will know they are not the real thing.

Assert Your Style With A Monogrammed Money Clip

By Ned Dagostino

The personalized money clip is a gent's accessory to hold ready cash and small documents like credit cards. It also happens to be a popular choice as a gift item. What makes it special is that it is personalized. There is such a wide range of personalized money clips that you are sure to get one to suit your own personality or that of the friend you are gifting it to.

The personalized money clip is a popular gift item because there is a vast range to select from. They come in just about every shape and material. They can be decorated with jewels to make them exquisitely extraordinary!

The most popular money clips are made of metal, from stainless steel to royal gold. Whatever the material used, the money clip decorated with the recipient's name or monogram is a well-received and well-appreciated gift. It is one of those very rare examples of a utilitarian item which is a luxury item at the same time.

The basic money clip depends on the spring tension inherent in the metal from which it is made to hold the currency notes together. The magnetic money clip uses magnetic tension to hold the money in place. The magnetic clip is made up of two powerful flat magnetized plates which are hinged at one place on their edges. You open up the two plates like a clamshell, place the notes and cards between the plates and then close the plates, letting the magnetic force keep the clip closed firmly. The plates are usually enclosed in a leather covering. The magnetic money clip is a conversation piece by itself. When the clip is personalized with the person's initials or monogram, the value simply zooms up, up, and away! Very masculine, indeed!

When the ordinary money clip does not suffice to carry the cash and cards the user wants, the hybrid money clip takes over. It is a standard money clip, with an additional magnetic plate hinged at the back. This way the cards and the cash are carried separately in the same money clip.

Leather money clips are very impressive. Leather denotes rugged masculinity, and the leather money clip is favored by the outdoors type. You can get these in all the colors traditionally associated with leather like black, brown, tan, dark green, and even crme. Emboss your initials on the leather with gold leaf, and see the guys drool over it!

Standard shapes for a money clip are round, oval, rectangular and square. More fanciful shapes are available for people who like novelty. A dollar sign, a paper clip, and a horse-shoe are among the dozens of fanciful shapes that money clips are readily available in. To add to the novelty value, some money clips have accessories like a watch, or a penknife, or a compass built-in.

If you want to be outrageously stylish, you can have a money clip made according to your design. Such custom-crafting facilities are expensive, because there will be a minimum quantity that you must buy.

A personalized money clip is more than a utility accessory. It is you. It states the person you are in a very subtle manner. Use this attribute of the money-clip to your advantage. You don't have to shout out your personality to the other person, just let your personalized money clip do the talking. That's class! Take your time to find the one personalized money clip that suits your personality best, within the price range that you have set.

A personalized money clip is a great combination of style and functionality at a reasonable price. As an accessory it is very practical, as a status symbol it is very classy. As a gift item, it is the best choice for all occasions. Just take the time and trouble to select the personalized money clip according to the nature of the person you're giving it to. Be on hand to see the look on his face when he sees that beautiful money clip with his initials emblazoned on it!

When you purchase replica Tiffany jewelry, you are buying a design based on a classic style that remains desired in the fashion industry. The availability of replica Tiffany pieces just shows how desired the designs and trend of Tiffany jewelry still is among jewelry makers and fashion.

How Do You Find Out What Prescription Your Glasses Are?

By Amy Nutt

Lets say you have found an old pair of glasses and youre wondering what the prescription is. This is something that is very common because people are finding their old glasses all of the time. They are searching through an old drawer and then they all of a sudden find that pair of glasses from a few years ago that they loved. However, they are not sure if they can wear them or not. They are not aware of what the prescription is. Thats when they start to wonder how they can find out what their prescription is.

If you put on those old eyeglasses and they dont seem right, then chances are the prescription is off. Can you have a new prescription put into them? Of course you can. All you have to do is talk to an authorized dispensary after having an up-to-date exam.

Finding out your prescription

The easiest way for you to find out what your prescription is, is to go to your local optometrists dispensary. They have technicians in the dispensary that will take your glasses and gauge what the prescription is. They have the right tools and expertise to tell you what your prescription is and what your options are when it comes to putting the right prescription into your glasses.

Basically, they will tell you if your prescription is correct or not. If it is not, then they will tell you that they can cut and place new lenses into the glasses. You just have to have a current prescription in order for you to have your current prescription placed within the frames.

Getting the right prescription

If it has been a while since youve had an eye exam, you will have to have one. Some dispensaries require that you have a prescription that is no more than a year old. Others require that you have had an eye exam within the past two years. It really depends on the state youre in and who the doctor is youre dealing with. This is because it is important that you can see the best you can. In the case of children, yearly exams may be required. Once they eyes stop progressing, every two years may be fine.

No matter what, you have to have your current prescription placed within the frames because you want to be able to wear your glasses for a year or two. You dont want to have to ask for a new prescription in just a matter of months. You also dont want to have to look through the wrong prescription. If you do you can encounter headaches, severe eye strain, and other issues. You dont have to put yourself through that.

Its easy

Its pretty easy to get your designer glasses prescription checked and to get the right prescription placed within your glasses. You can usually do it all in one place. Then again, you may want to shop around on the Internet and see who can do it for you for an even better rate. Just make sure your prescription is current. Even a dispensary that operates on the Internet will not be able to fulfill your request without a current prescription to work with. They may request that you send your latest copy or they will request the information from your optometrist. No matter what it is you have to do, know that you can reuse those old frames even if you cant reuse the lenses that are in them. This can save you a lot of money and a lot of time when all you need to do is see and look great doing it.

Sensitive Skin and Facials: Do They Mix?

By Amy Nutt

Despite popular thinking, there's no reason not to enjoy facials even if your skin is sensitive. The trick is in how the facial is done and also how you treat your skin after the fact. With the right combination, you can enjoy facials without irritating your skin at all.

Gentle Products

It's very important to use the right products for your skin type when having a facial done. Talk to the beautician ahead of time if you are having a professional one, or take the time to look at your options if you are doing it at home. When doing your own facial, you can even test the products you plan to use on your wrist or neck, to see if they will irritate.

There are literally hundreds of products out there developed specifically for sensitive skin. This doesn't mean that all of them will be suited to your particular skin, but you can certainly count on them being far gentler than regular skin care products. These are the best ones to start with if you aren't sure.

Keep It Simple

A facial doesn't have to be a huge process using a dozen different products. In fact, the more products that you use, the more likely you are to have a bad reaction. So keep it to the basics, an astringent for oily skin, a soothing facial mask and a moisturizing lotion. You can use a warm cloth or steam to help open the pores of the face and expel impurities, but take it easy since heat can also irritate sensitive skin.

Water is your best friend. Not only should you be drinking plenty to keep your skin clear and glowing, you'll also want to make sure that you wash your face frequently with it. Rinse off any excess product completely before applying another and you will keep the skin problems to a minimum.

Using natural ingredients such as cucumbers on your eyes and avocado or honey as a facial mask can really help your skin, too, even if you can't tolerate most skin care products. Avoid anything that has acid in it, like pineapple, since this can cause irritations.

After the Facial

Whether you opt for a professional facial or one at home, keep in mind that you don't need to apply a bunch of products afterwards. In fact, you'll be far better off just washing with plain water and some specially formulated soap. Adding more skin care products to the mix tends to cause rashes and irritations, which can be very easily avoided by simply sticking to water for a few days after the facial.

Daily Skin Care for Sensitive Skin

You will want to take good care of your skin both before and after having a facial. Sensitive skin is rarely better off left alone, so look for simple products that will enhance your natural beauty without causing problems. One thing to keep in mind is the number of ingredients. A huge list of ingredients probably means you'll have problems, whereas a skin care product with just two or three ingredients is going to be far easier on the skin in most cases.

Treat your skin with care, wash it every day and make sure that you don't overtax it when you have a facial. Let it rest for a couple of days before and after the fact to ensure the best results.

Just because you have sensitive skin doesn't mean you can't enjoy having a good facial treatment every now and then. You may not be able to do them too often, but once in a while, with the right products, should be just fine.

Accessorize With Knock-Off Designer Jewelry

By Eduard Rakting

Many say that ones health is only as good as what they eat, but true fashion followers would say that you are only as good as the clothing you wear and the accessories that go with it. Fortunately, putting together a classy look does not need to wipe out your bank account. Many styles and brands today mimic designer purses and accessories to highlight any outfit, regardless of budget.

Here are some of more popular designers who are considered to be fashion geniuses in the area of replica designer accessories, including purses and jewelry. Some may still be fairly expensive, although far from the cost of the original designer pieces whereas other looks are even more affordable.

Cocoa Chanel is one woman who has, virtually, liberated women when it comes to fashion by providing innovative, stylish and sophisticated designers. Over the years, Chanel has designed clothing that has inspired not only those women who wear her clothing but also other designers to create knock-offs of her purses and jewelry.

Before even looking at a price tag, most are already aware that jewelry and purses from the Chanel collection come with steep prices beyond the budget of most shoppers. Although the elegance and style of the product is timeless, as the collection markets itself, this lifetime of luxury is best left to the wealthy and famous who can regularly afford such products. You can view the latest Chanel collection at www.chanel.com where you can find some of the designer jewelry and purses desired by nearly every woman.

However, the good news is that you can still achieve the look you want even if you cannot afford to spend at a level of the Chanel collection. The Target store is a great place to find collections of various knock-off designer items such as Asda, Tesco and Isaac Mizrahi among others. The items may not be originals, but it is fully proper to showcase these beautiful pieces as many well-known designers have contributed their fashion creativity to these collections.

So, if a look of sophistication yet contemporary style is what you see, then you may want to stop by your local Target store to check out the latest collection. Or, you can check out the items at www.target.com to view the entire collection of knock-off designer goods from the comfort of your own home. It is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. You may just find some classy outfits resembling designer looks but at an affordable price!

Jewelry Making for Fun and Profit

By Ethan O. Tanner

An familiar proverb articulates that work isn't really work if you take pleasure in what you're doing. If one of your spare-time activities is jewelry making, why not modify this activity into a lucrative enterprise? You already enjoy it anyway, and it wouldn't take too much extra effort to share your jewelry creations with others who would respect them and be willing to pay for them. With a little extra work, time management and discipline, jewelry making is an excellent method to have fun and earn a bit of extra income on the side.

Whether you're just beginning your entrance into the jewelry making line of business or whether you're already a professional jeweler, there are always various key aspects to regard. First, it's fundamental to have a decent work space where you can work unbothered for a set duration of time every day and where you can keep your jewelry making materials and instruments. It doesn't have to be a humongous space, just a corner or room where you can center on bringing your thoughts to life and set yourself aside from unwanted distractions.

If you haven't already, decide on the kind of jewelry you are going to make. If you're just getting your feet wet in the jewelry making arena, start out with something simple. Think about what type of jewelry you'd enjoy and feel comfortable wearing and go on from there. Whatever materials you might need are readily available either on the Internet or in a physical retail store. Then, as you become more adept at what you're doing, you can start exploring other, more complex jewelry making techniques. Remember, there is a plethora of information resources to help you make money from your hobby: books, specialty magazines, the Internet, and other jewelry makers.

After you've constructed a fair amount of jewelry items, there are strides you can take to get other people curious about them. Be a walking advertisement for your jewelry making enterprise. Show off some of your art pieces whenever you go out: wear them to work, when you head to the store, or when you attend parties. In addition, the spoken word is an effective way to inform other people about your jewelry making endeavor. Reveal some of your finished artistry to family and friends, and encourage them to spread the word.

The important thing to remember is that you continue to enjoy making jewelry and to take pride in your creations. Your passion for this hobby and business will reward you mentally and financially. Your love for jewelry making will be the key factor in maintaining your creativity level and it will help you come up with the designs that appreciative customers will buy. Never forget the 'fun' factor in jewelry making, as this will be reflected in your work, and the 'profit' factor will follow.

A Helpful Primer to Wedding Flower Bouquets

By Cindy Vicenza

Buying nice wedding flowers is a very vital part of a wedding. Compared to all the other items on the to-do list, it might seem very simple, but you must consider how much time and effort must be spent on it by a florist in order to create the nice look you will want for a wedding.

By picking nice wedding florals and coordinating wedding colors, the photos will surely look amazing. There are more types of flowers to pick from than many of us realize. Some of them must be special ordered, so you will need to be sure that you give a florist sufficient time to get the exact flowers you desire.

You might also wish to pick wedding flowers according to the wedding theme--for example, if you're having a Hawaiian style wedding, you'll desire flowers to set the mood for that theme. Conversely, if you want a sophisticated, elegant wedding, you might wish for something like roses or lilies.

While there are many choices of bridal bouquets, you still may not find the right piece for your wedding. Most of the time, you only have to ask the florist to prepare something to your tastes. The florist understands how important this eye-catching piece will be, and will be happy to create a unique piece.

The colors of the bridal bouquets must correspond with bridesmaids' dresses and with men's suits. When the colors are coordinated and they flow well together, it will draw everybody's attention to you, along with the photos that you will treasure for decades.

The beauty of wedding centerpieces is that they come in so many different sizes; this gives you the benefit of picking one which will correspond with your bouquets and be cost efficient too. Your guests might also take centerpieces back home as gifts from the new, happy couple.

The majority of folks might not recognize the importance of wedding centerpieces to the attractive appearance of a wedding reception's dinner tables. They are, in fact a crucial part of your wedding plans. Lovely floral arrangements make a memorable impression on guests, and if you pick really appealing blossoms presented creatively, some of your friends may even copy you when it's their time to throw a wedding party

Forget Palty Store Selections and Design Your Own Jewelry

By Ernst Ralborg

Forget plain, old colorless diamonds. Today, the jewelry stores are alive with color and colorful jewelry is becoming a mainstay of the high fashion set. It used to be the case that colorful jewelry meant rubies that your grandmother wore, but that is no longer the case. Now, from sapphires and topaz to emeralds and onyx, jewelry pops with every color under the rainbow.

Of course, now that gemstone jewelry is becoming more and more popular, it can be hard to find a truly unique piece that will make you stand out from the crowd. Where can you go to stay on the cutting edge of gemstone jewelry and still be the only one in the room who has the accessories that you have? Where can you find unique celtic engagement rings you've always wanted? The following places should be tops on your list.

Gemstone Jewelry Styling Events

Chances are, your local jewelry hosts styling events at least once a month, and these events are great ways to get in on the new designs before anyone else. During styling events, jewelers come to the store and bring with them a huge selection of loose gemstones and different settings from which to choose. Although the settings are technically pre-designed, you can be assured that they are the latest the designers have to offer.

An added bonus of shopping for jewelry this way is that the jeweler is only around for a limited time, so often your brand new piece of jewelry is created on the spot, or at least within a few hours of you picking it out, so you can start enjoying it right away. This includes necklaces, earrings or even engagement rings.

Custom Gemstone Jewelry Designers

Another way to find your dream piece of designer gemstone jewelry is to pay a visit to a custom jewelry designer who is well versed in working with gemstones. Custom jewelry designers usually keep a selection of gemstones on hand for customers to see, but if they don't have exactly what you want, they can usually get it for you very easily. Custom jewelry designers can't work as fast as the jewelers in styling events, especially if you decide to special order something, but they can design everything for you, from the setting up, so that extra time will pay off with the piece of jewelry of your dreams.

If you can't bring yourself to wear the paltry styles of gemstone jewelry in the shops that everyone else is throwing on, these two options can help you get jewelry with that "wow" factor you are after. In fact, you are really limited only by your imagination, so get designing and get the perfect piece of gemstone jewelry for you.

His imagination and his ability to explain his design to the jeweler are the only limitations. Some designs that have been done are bezel settings and infinity symbols.

Popular symbols can also be taken into consideration and altered to make them more personal and then into a custom piece of jewelry. Geometric shapes are popular as well as using more manly materials like stone. The options are truly endless. The custom jewelry created by men are an excellent way for them to display their style and be involved in the process as well.

There are always going to be some men who think that diamonds are too flashy or that designer jewelry is purely a feminine experience. However, diamonds do not always have to be their usual color. Diamonds are available in black, brown, and many other colors that may suit the more manly man better. They are still the same as typical diamonds in their strength and durability and therefore remain a more masculine choice. Men can enjoy diamonds too without feeling like they are treading in thin ice with their manhood.

Designer diamond jewelry that is customized for men is an excellent way for men to enjoy diamonds as well. With the colors and shapes that are available, it is a great opportunity for men to display their style and personality as well. Sometimes trends dictate what is appropriate for men, but truth is, men can definitely make their own standards but also settings that are operational. Men should visit a designer shop in their own cities so that they can start to make their creation today.

Jewelry is a great expression of personality and women should not be the only ones allowed to express themselves in this manner. However, it is important to also look at current trends so that it is not over done. This is of course a rule that women should follow as well.

Men's Jewelry Designers - The Latest Trends

By Ernst Ralborg

Gone are the days when the passion for jewelry rested with women alone. Nowadays, men are becoming as enamored with jewelry and accessories as they are with cars and gizmos. Jewelry designers have well woken up to the fact and are now offering exclusive and extensive men's range of jewelry, ranging right from diamond-studded watches to bracelets, chains and pendants. In this section, we take a look on the latest developments in this trend along with the major newsmakers in this aspect.

The Beckham Story

Talking of men's jewelry, David Beckham created ripples when he displayed a dazzling collection of men's jewelry at his famous pre-World Cup party. England's Ashley Cole, who arrived wearing only jewelry and no shirt under his dinner jacket, assisted him in his efforts.

This was further followed by a charity auction wherein Beckham showcased his exquisite diamond encrusted watch, created by Jacob Arabo. In addition, Beckham was also perhaps the first man to publicly wear two diamond earrings, placing men's' jewelry fashion firmly on the front stage and marking the onset of an amazing trend.

The New Scenario

Jewelry is no longer the domain of women only. Men have largely come to accept and recognize jewelry a symbol of class and style. Urban men, who like to appear trendy, are also taking to the ornaments to add a hip look to their appearances. The exclusive men's' jewelry showrooms have mushroomed in the last few years, catering to the growing need of the contemporary generation.

This trend is further accentuated by the portrayal of men supporting flashy pieces of jewelry in cinema. From the mafia kings carrying extravagant neckpieces, to the young lover wearing a kinky bracelet gifted by his fianc, men across all channels are being quick enough to adopt the trend.

In addition, where earlier gold was almost the only choice, nowadays platinum, diamonds and even stones rule the rooster. The likes of exclusive platinum or combination of metals, diamond encrusted rings and earrings dominate the scene, though smaller trinkets also appear in the picture. The entire trend gives enough reason to the jewelry and fashion industry to invest substantive resources in the men's jewelry lines. By the look of it, in a few years time, it is quite possible that men's jewelry will be available to suit all types of budgets and tastes, not just remaining as the exclusive domain of the rich and famous.

Discount Shoes Online For The Penny Pincher

By Bryan Cox

On the web there are many opportunities to find discount shoe deals online. What is unique is that you can find the complete line and range that a particular brand offers. Unlike traditional brick and mortar stores where you get to see only a limited selection and have to pay the often large sales tax to top it off, online stores are more consumer friendly.

There will usually always be designer shoes available at discount prices. It's just a matter of looking around for a good bargain in the size you are looking for. You can expect a 10-40% discount, when buying designer shoes online.

Many shoe styles are making a big comeback. In particular, the open-toe woman's styles are gaining fashion momentum and style revival. Even pairing textured stockings to the open-toe style seems to be gaining revival popularity.

The traditional styles always seems to have staying power. Traditional moderate-width straps should always be popular. Designer shoe heights seem to run the fashion gamut and it is hard to say how long the "heavy" look or the gladiator styles will remain mainstream.

Traditional shoes are the conservative style choice of most people. Styles of boots vary from fashionable dyed leathers, such as the immensely popular Ugg brand, to more commonplace choices. Men seem to stick with mainstream choices and with natural hues, colors and standard footwear designs.

Special seasonal discount shoes online sales need to be earmarked as big extras when it comes to discounts. The big holidays, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Presidents Day, just to name a few, often offer across the board discount days that includes shoe discounts for any purchased product. Often you'll get an extra 15 to 20 percent off your purchase price.

Free shipping is standard for online stores. Many stores offer policies for purchases whereby all shoes shipped to US addresses are covered by customer-friendly 365-day return policy. They even pay for the return shipping if you're not happy with your purchase!

Also many stores offer lifestyle complementary clothing, jewelry and especially handbags to accompany your purchase. These selections are extensive and often these are offered for discount as well!

Before you buy discount shoes online, get opinions from buyers who have previously tried that specific style and brand. See if they have a complete pick of styles, sizes, color from each brand before you buy your discount shoes online.

Top Mistakes Made When Shopping Online

By Amy Nutt

Shopping online is something that has grown in popularity throughout the years, especially since websites have become more secure and the shopping as a whole has become a much easier experience. As a matter of fact, many people are finding that it is simply easier to just sit at their computer and plug in a credit card for the items they want. This is opposed to hopping in their car, driving to the shopping mall, and standing in lines all evening long. In other words, the online method of checking out is much more efficient than standing in a cashier?s line.

However, there are mistakes that people make when shopping online. It is very important to know what these mistakes are so that you don?t make them the next time you buy something online.

The mistakes

Now, you might be wondering what these mistakes could possibly be because the Internet is safe, right? Well, it is true that there has been technology put in place that allows the Internet to be safer when carrying out transactions. People have worried about identity theft and stolen credit card numbers for years when it comes to the Internet. But these new and improved ways of shopping online have changed.

But some things have not changed, which is what contributes to these mistakes:

? Shopping from a site that doesn?t have https:// in the address bar. You are used to seeing http://, but the https:// means that the connection is secure. This is very important when entering personal information such as a credit card number.

? Shopping from an unfamiliar site. Although someone may have said, ?You have to shop from this site.? You need to ask them if they have actually received the item. You also need to ask them if the charge was carried out correctly on their credit card. Again, make sure that the site is secure.

? Entering too much personal information is another issue. If you have a merchant asking you for your social security number, you need to hit your browser?s back button because there is no need for that. If they say it is for ?verification? purposes, that is not so. They shouldn?t be able to compare your social security number in the first place because they don?t really have access to any part of it.

? Make sure you keep an eye on the shopping cart. There are some instances in which it does not distinguish between adding something to the cart and checking out. You need to be careful because you might find yourself checking out instead of adding more items to your cart. This could result in you having to go back and do another transaction, which means additional shipping charges if you choose to use the same merchant.

These are some of the basic mistakes that can be made. In a nutshell, always be mindful of what it is you?re doing on the Internet.

Consequences

If you are wondering about the consequences that could be suffered from these mistakes, you?re looking at possible identity theft, theft of credit card numbers, money taken for an item that you never receive, and the possibility of having to pay more than what you really have to pay.

Fortunately, these consequences can be avoided by ensuring that you?re doing business with a reputable site and one that is secure. This means that you can have confidence in the company that you are doing business with. You shouldn?t have to be afraid to carry out a transaction on the Internet. By taking the right precautions you can do just that. You can have the confidence that you are going to get exactly what it is you ask for.
