I Have the Dress -now What About the Tiara and Wedding Jewellery?Posted by Blogmaster in Earings, tags: About, Dress, Jewellery, Tiara, WeddingIt’s gorgeous – your dream wedding dress and at last the search is over.
Ah , but what about the jewellery and the tiara to match it? Maybe you’ve never worn a tiara before and do you need a necklace , bracelet , earrings to go with it as well?
Usually the most important planning is for the dress and then the jewellery is chosen to go with it. Only occasionally as a jeweller have I met brides who have chosen their jewellery and then embarked on a search for a dress. I once spoke to a young woman who was looking for a wedding ring and I asked when her wedding was. She replied that she hadn’t met a man yet – she just fancied having the ring first – but that’s another story…
So here is a general guide to buying your wedding jewellery – of course all these guides and rules can be broken – if it feels right for you , then that’s OK.
The necklace is usually the easiest to decide on because you will already know what sort of thing you like. If the design of the dress is very elaborate , then choose a simple necklace and let the shape of the necklace follow the neckline – for instance , a “v” shaped dress looks good with a necklace. A gentle scooped neckline looks good with a round shaped necklace. An off-the-shoulder dress can look stunning with a choker or collar necklace. If the dress is more plain in style then the more elaborate the necklace can be. In this case , a matching bracelet or drop earrings can also complement the outfit. Brides with long necks can wear an elaborate necklace and long drop earrings very well. With a shorter neck , it’s best to wear necklaces a bit lower.
The tiara is the hardest to decide on – it’s not something you can wear every day as you can with the necklace , earrings and bracelet. It’s a good idea to try on as many tiaras as you can and see what suits the shape of your face. When you begin trying them on you may be surprised to discover that what you had been certain about , isn’t right for you. Generally , tall , curvy girls can look really good in a bold , large tiara and can take a tiara of 3 inches / 7 cms high. Smaller girls look best in a more dainty tiara with a height of up to 1.5″ / 3 cms.
A lot of my customers worry about how to wear a tiara , thinking there are definite rules – but there aren’t , it just depends how it looks. Most tiaras are malleable to some extent so don’t be afraid to adjust the base so that it fits more comfortably. Do you wear the tiara at the front or the back of your head? Again that’s up to you – and possibly your hairdresser to decide – but they can be held in place via a small hole in the back or even with some tiaras via a pair of plastic combs attached at the back.
If your tiara is very bold or elaborate choose a simple necklace or even omit the necklace and keep the earrings to a simple stud. This will ensure that the focal points of your dress look just right. If the necklace is highly elaborate , then perhaps a flower or comb at the back or the side of the head rather than a tiara keeps the balance just right.
Finally remember this is just a general guide and once again , rules can be broken – because once you look in the mirror and smile , you know it’s right!

Dress to Impress CasuallyPosted by Blogmaster in Earings, tags: Casually, Dress, ImpressWhenever there is an event, informal or formal, people are ready to wear their most beautiful, elegant, stylish, and flashy attires they have. We are always dressing to impress others. It can make us feel more comfortable of ourselves. Clothing can describe who we are before even saying anything. It can boost our confidence and let us to express ourselves without having second thoughts. In the modern society, it is important to feel confident and what you wear has a huge effect on your confidence level. This is true in places where society will judge you on the clothing and accessories you wear. So how would you dress to impress others in a casual atmosphere? For guys, it is relatively simple. He can throw on a tee, jeans, flip flops, and he is ready to go. Guys can also wear polo, cargo shorts, button downs, vans, or converses. What really impress others are the accessories they wear. I believe the most impressive things a guy should wear is either a nice necklace, bracelet or watch. A necklace that has the beach-like feel is considered very casual. Wood-beaded necklaces or leather necklaces are very casual. Bracelets on a guy are very fancy. Bracelet is something very basic. It can be made out of strings or just Lance Armstrong wrist bands. I consider wrist bands a type of bracelet merely because it goes around the wrist. Watches are also very flashy for guys. It shows a lot in a guy. Time is very important to him. A potential leader usually wears a watches because his time is very valuable. For girls, it is a little tougher on deciding what to wear. They will have too match your flats to your dress and then to your bag. Sometimes they will have to match with their earrings and bracelets to go along with the rest of the outfit. Girls will have trouble deciding what earrings to wear because they will have so many. Bracelets are usually worn everyday. Bracelets will not have to be changed as frequently as earrings. Girls will have to wear jewelry to make them look younger and more elegant. It is very casual for girls to wear necklaces and bracelet. It can be very laid-back. A few brands that I believe are very casual for casual wear are Uniqlo, Gap, Express, American Eagle, Emitations, and H&M. Casual clothing are very important because it is easy to just put something on and leave the house in a matter of minutes. You don’t have to spend too much time on deciding what to wear. If you’re looking for something quick to wear and be able to impress others at the same time, dressing casual is the way to go. For more information, Check the Following:

Dress Up Like a Model With Girls GamesPosted by Blogmaster in Earings, tags: Dress, Games, Girls, Like, ModelDo you envy the slim ladies doing the catwalk at the runway? Or do you envy the clothing rather? Whatever your choice you can have both of them. It is true that you have to finish some education before being able to qualify as a model. However, that is only partly true. At your young age, you can be a gorgeous model in an instant! But how can it be possible? Play girls games and you will know what I am talking about! You do not need to pretend and make believe that you are like your Barbie, the perfect model for little girls with her beautiful and sexy body, the gorgeous eyes and luscious lips. This is not the kind of girls games that I am referring to. Barbie is a classic beauty, but you can be as pretty or even better than her by going virtual. Get the fun out of girls games and feel the ultimate excitement that you can get. With this virtual game, you are given a virtual doll to beautify. Choose the color of her hair and make a stylish cut. Decide on how you want her hair styled. Do you like layer her long hair and color it blonde? Or rather opt for an elegant look by making an up do of her hair? May be you can also give her the curly, hazel nut colored hair for a sexy look? You are given endless alternatives on how you want her hair to be styled. For me, I chose a simple up do with some of the locks let loose for a sexy effect. Go smart and classy by wearing on the classic brown, four-buttoned fashion jacket paired with a tartan skirt. Tartans never go out of style. You just need to find the matching coordinates for the piece. The belted waist of the fashion jacket is best partnered with a knee length stiletto boots. This lets your model ooze with confidence as she walks the runway. Accessories have their own places to match for different outfits. With the smart and classy look style, a big loop earrings in silver gives the same effect with an added factor of being chic. Who says that sunglasses are only applicable when there is a sun? With fashion, you have the option to reverse an item’s functionality. Wear oversized sunglasses in brown shades for a hip look! You can go without the make-up but don’t leave the room without the lipstick! Being a model should be fun and exciting. It should never be treated as work. As you enjoy dressing up your model with girls games, think of the possibilities that this may occur to your very self. Isn’t amazing?
