Can you imagine fashion without jewellery?

Lab, luxe and contemporary, these are the main conditions that every woman is looking to buy jewellery. Because of the high cost of gold and diamond, the genius designers of jewellery had used new metals and created new styles in order to create fantastic bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc. The jewellery adds a great touch on the look of every woman, but you need chose the suitable style of jewellery that matches with her garments. Even women in the decades used to wear jewellery and accessories and they had their own style of that period. The style of jewellery differentiated from one country to another and from one culture to another, that’s why we have in nowadays iconic jewelry designers, who bring us the most beautiful collection of jewelry.

This necklace looks like the papers of the tree, it’s beautiful.

I like vintage jewellery, they suit different style of outfit and in different occasions. Classic jewellery add an enchanting touch on our fashionable and classic look. Wearing jewellery becomes essential or you can say a  kind of routine, this may seem crazy, but without putting at least one piece of jewellery you feel incomplete. I can say that the choice of jewellery depends on our feelings, it’s how we see ourselves, our opinions and tastes that is why we wear jewellery and we need jewellery and this will never stop.

Putting makeup is not easy.

Hello ladies, imagine if there is no makeup in the world, do will look ugly and pale? I don’t think so, but it’s just the matter of addiction, there are some ladies who couldn’t appear without makeup or at least putting the foundation and lipstick. The makeup has been invented to spruce up the face and give a perfect look by adding some elements to highlight the eyes, the lips and all the features. Not all the women have born with a natural beauty because the makeup doesn’t add the natural touch, it just changes and highlights the features of the face, so the natural touch is very essential to complete the perfect look.

Putting makeup on the face is an art you need to learn it before you do it, or you will create a messy on your face, some people should know that not every type of makeup suits everyone, not just in the way of look, but they can use some kinds of makeup that doesn’t suit their type of skin. In my point of view i like putting light makeup, it looks more natural than the heavy one and i carefully choose the color of the eyeshadow to not look monstrous. I read in magazine about beauty that not all the colors match with any time in the day, taking for example the grey eyeshadow, the dark blue and all the dark colors can be used on the morning, but at night you can use all the light colors, these latter give a shine to your face, with putting your mascara you will get magical eyes.  Don’t forget to enhance your natural look with a perfect one and choose the makeup that suits your face in order to look more glamorous and beautiful.

You should wear a headband too.

Lately, I realized how much accessories have became necessary to fashion in general. You can wear the most stylish chino pants or the most amazing flowered dress it will never look that good if you do not accessorize it. Of course you think of earings, necklaces, bracelets…

Well me, what comes immediately to my mind is headbands. Once upon a time, it was the number one accessorie for hippies, but that was the sixties. By now, you cannot put a toe on the sidewalk without seeing a fashionista wearing a headband. It is not suprising then if even Mischa Barton recently launched her own headband line.

Celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, Mary Olsen, Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria and many others are wearing it on a daily life basis as well as on the red carpet or to the most hyped parties. This is what Frenchies call “Hippie Chic” and this is how women from all over the globe want to look like: glamorous and stylish with a simple item.

I personnally bought my first one in New York City in the famous Henri Bendel Shop (this is all about Gossip Girl…) where the saleswomen taught me how to wear it: above your fronthead, with or without plaits, or traditionnally “It all looks amazing anyway”.

Henri Bendel New York

Of course Bendel’ headbands aren’t truly affordable, luckily every ready-to-wear shops such as Topshop, New Look, Zara, Mango… became aware, just like me, of the necessity of having it in their wardrobe, so they followed the wave… Just as the most famous celebrities, and the most world-renowned fashion designers.

So, girls, you better surf on it as well !
