Steal Michelle Obama’s Jewelry Style

adminJewelry

A woman that exudes confidence and authority; that is First Lady Michelle Obama, clearly she matched his husband Pres. Barrack Obama’s equally influential persona. Since his husband assumed in his position as a president last January 2009, Michelle Obama had been a favorite subject of paparazzi, often photographed just to scrutinize the first lady’s fashion sense and her much talked about charms jewelry. I find it quite absurd, but then on the other hand, knowing her role as the wife of one the most powerful man in the world, then indeed it is inevitable. Go First Lady, show your dignified style.

Noticing the First Lady’s pictures, she is always photographed with personalized necklaces, her necklace with a HOPE dog tag pendant in particular. There had been rumors that it’s her necklace charm that made Obama the first African-American president in the history of America. But I doubt it, Obama won because he was elected by people, charm and magic has nothing to do with it. Mrs. Obama had been supportive during his husband entire campaign rallies from state to state.

Cold Weather

adminFashion

Now its getting colder all our thoughts have started to turn to keeping warm. I know that when I go shopping and I am feeling hungry I end up buying too much food. Then the cold weather comes and I start looking for jumpers and warm winter rugs to curl up on the sofa with. Mums do the same thing for their children; they want to snuggle them up in a warm baby blanket especially when they are out and about.

If you are looking around for things to keep your children warm there are so many options. If they are still in the buggy you may want to look for a travel wrap or cosy toes. These can be a good modern alternative to the classic baby blanket. When your children are a bit older and are running about you will probably be looking for coats, hats, scarves and gloves and in the really cold weather you might want to think about ski trousers or even an all in one ski suit, although they can be a bit difficult when you are trying to get them off and on your children.

Fashion Today and Yesterday

adminFashion

With the death of Louis XIV and the coronation of Louis XV in 1715, a new style called rococo blossomed across Europe. Although the term was later used in a derogatory manner, suggesting excess and frivolity, it generally refers to a high achievement in fashion that represents the height of French culture. Though France was already the well-renowned leader in fashion by the reign of Louis XIV, the rococo period confirmed the countrys reputation as a worldwide leader in the world of fashion. After the initial popularity of rococo, the styles changed, and the French Revolution in 1789 seemed to create a new modernization in clothing styles reducing rococo into the much more stark fashions of neoclassicism in style. The radical change in clothing style is one of the most dramatic such shifts in the history of fashion.

During the seventeenth century new and ornate mens fashions continually appeared, but by the time of the eighteenth century the styles had become much more refined. The typical French court apparel included a coat, which gradually became more fitted and added a waistcoat and breeches, a white shirt, a cravat, and a pair of silk stockings. Brilliant colors and intricate embroidery were increasingly important adornments. Cloth for jackets was often embroidered before being tailored so that men could choose their favorite patterns and then order the suit cut and sewn to size.

The Significance Of Indian Bridal Jewelry

adminJewelry

Weddings are a grand affair in India. Not only do they celebrate the commitment of the bride and groom embarking on a life-long journey together, they also symbolize the coming together of two families. Indian weddings are steeped in tradition, rituals and customs, some religious, and some cultural. These traditions extend even to the attire of the bride, where each item of clothing or jewelry holds a special significance. It is easy to understand then, why any wedding would be incomplete without Indian bridal jewelry.

Jewelry plays an important role in enhancing the beauty of the blushing bride, more so when it holds a traditional and cultural significance as is the case with Indian bridal jewelry. For instance, the set of 21 ivory bangles, called ‘chooda’, worn by North Indian brides are gifted to them by their maternal uncle. Worn anywhere between a period of 6 months to a year after her marriage, they serve as a reminder to the family that she has married into, that she is a new bride and must be treated as a princess. ‘Klira’, or the long adornments that hang from the ‘chooda’ of a bride, are also gifted to her by her maternal uncle. They perform much the same function as the ‘chooda’ and make physical work an impossible task, preventing the new bride from doing any household work during the festivities. Although now seen as a fashion statement, a ‘nath’ or nose ring symbolizes the purity and innocence of the bride.
