Cool Rings

        

             I discovered these delightful rings from artist Christine J. Brandt a while ago, and tucked them away in my notebook. Brandt creates one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that are created from exotic woods found all over the world. She keeps the wood in as natural a state as possible - none of the woods are stained or varnished; it is only burnished and hand-rubbed with several coats of Danish oil to bring out the grain and natural colors. The semi-precious stones used are not cut, polished or dyed, and remain just as they were found in nature.

Bucket Bags

          The bucket handbag works wells because they look smart and hold everything they need from morning until night and still look chic. The first thing to remember is that bucket handbags come in different sizes.
          The smallest bucket handbag is for when you just want to carry a wallet and smaller personal items. A medium bucket handbag is great for when you want to go to lunch and then go shopping for a few small items. Instead of carrying shopping bags you can put everything you buy into a bucket handbag and keep looking great, while you keep everything in the same place. A large bucket handbag keeps shopping items, personal items and the things that an office executive needs to keep while she goes about her busy day.

advices

First that's talk about boot, flats....Boots can be worn under all kinds of long pants, or over slim-fit or skinny-leg pants, especially jeans. Boots should never be worn with shorts, unless you want to evoke Daisy Duke. Stiletto knee-high boots can be worn with tailored gaucho-style pants, but otherwise only with long pants or skirts. It is always okay to wear flats! Especially ballet flats or canvas flats. Personal, I don't own any of them, because I like to be tall.

If you like flip-flops, canvas flats are a good alternative that are not quite as sloppy-looking (especially if your flip-flops are the plastic and foam kind).

If you are short, but thin, I would stay away from tight tops, skirts, and stilettos, especially if you feel strange wearing them. I would suggest a floaty or A-line knee-length skirt and flats or kitten heels (like stilettos, only with a much lower heel). An A-line skirt will balance out a narrow frame. In fact, you could even go with a gathered skirt to give you hips and more oomph on the bottom.

If you want a curvier figure in your jeans, I’d suggest wearing flares or boot-cut. Something that goes in at the knee will accentuate or give you hips. A slightly higher-waisted pencil skirt with a tucked-in blouse would also be really cute.

My advice is just to experiment with different looks and see what you like on yourself. If all you wear is jeans and flip-flops, you need to expand your horizons!

Hope that helps! That is all I have for you right now. I will be back with more advices. Again....Do not afraid to experiment different things. You never know what you going to discover.
