The Biggest Women’s Shoe Trends In The Current Year
March 1st, 2010
With the dawn of a new decade, it’s really exciting to imagine the fashion possibilities that might be brought along with it. I don’t think anyone ten years ago could have predicted all the current trends we enjoy.
It only takes two or three years for fashion revolutions to take place, so it’s advisable to focus mainly on what’s going to be happening in the very near future.
I’d like to take a look at what’s in vogue for the 2010 season. I’m going to focus on women’s shoes because I’m passionate about them and I know more about them than anything else. They’re definitely what I like writing about the most. They’re what I like wearing the most, too!
I have a shoe closet that’s just bursting at the seams. Let me tell you about the ones that are my favorites right now.
Right now, any Christian Louboutin creation is ‘in’. I especially like the reptile leather designs. These are a little flashy but have plenty of personality and make a big impact in the best possible way.
The Roberto Cavalli ankle lace is a fun style in boots. Laced around the ankle, these glossy black leather boots have quite a high heel. They’re more versatile than you might think, as they can be worn with various styles of outfit.
Thigh-high boots with heels have recently emerged on the scene. These are not the easiest things to wear but they create an amazing look for anyone who can carry it off.
On a final note, the Hunter rain boot is making a welcome return to the stores. Hunter Wellies will offer a practical and trendy alternative to your usual sneakers when the weather turns wet.
Not only do these boots keep you in fashion, they’re also very easy on your feet, which puts them at the top of my list for rainy days.

The 123’s of the Diamond
February 24th, 2010
The Diamond is the subject of this article…the world’s most precious gemstone. We start our article off by exploring some of the myths that have been associated with this gemstone over the years, and then we examine some of the finer properties as well.
The diamond, also known as the “King of Gems”, has been coveted and desired by man since the early ages. Uncut diamonds were worn by knights on their armor. Cut versions of the same gemstone were situated on the crowns of kings and queens. Internationally recognized as the symbol of love, they have become the center of attention because of their unique investment potential.
There was a time when the diamond was thought to be endowed with magical powers. It was thought that by merely possessing a diamond, the holder would be endowed with bravery, courage, and superior strength. Hence the reason that knights wore them on their suits of armor. As a side benefit, it was thought that the diamond could ward off the devil and other evil creatures of the night.
Diamonds have been attributed to many different things over the years. Here’s a short list: (1) Invincibility, (2) Spiritual Ecstasy, (3) Sleepwalking, and (4) Sexual Prowess. Ah, but there is a catch to this list. In order to obtain these benefits, the person has to have found the diamond in its natural setting, in the wild. If they purchased it from someone else, this supposed “contract” was void. There is one exception though. If the diamond was offered as a symbol of friendship or love, such as a setting in an engagement ring, then these magical powers may return.
The Hindus classified diamonds into four separate castes. These castes were: (1) The Vasiya, a diamond the color of the “kodali flower” which brought success. (2) The Brahmin diamond, a colorless diamond that provided friends, riches, power, and good luck. (3) The Kshatiya, a champagne/brown colored diamond that prevented old age. (4) The Sudra, a diamond that was gray or black and glistened like a polished piece of metal, which brought about good fortune. In addition we have the red and yellow diamonds, which were gems exclusively for kings.
From a chemical perspective, the diamond is the simplest gemstone around. It’s just plain ole’ crystallized carbon. This is the same substance that makes our lead pencils. A lead pencil is much cheaper to purchase than a diamond, so it’s this crystallized pattern of the diamond that makes it special…and is the reason that it is so prized by collectors.
The diamond is the hardest known substance, but it can be cut or chipped…if it is hit from a certain angle that is. It’s this ability to be “chipped” that permits a gemologist to create the beautiful “cut” versions of the diamond that we love so much.
Although diamonds can come in every color imaginable, it is the white diamond that is the most popular version of the gemstone. Regardless of the color, a diamond makes a perfect addition to any piece of beautiful jewelry.

Learn How To Select The Best Tattoo Designs
February 5th, 2010
The most exciting part of having a tattoo is selecting between the host of tattoo designs available. However, it is not something to be entered into lightly so it is only sensible to have a period of reflection before committing. Having made your decision, you should also spend time making sure your artwork will suit you and who you are.
There are a limitless number of tattoo designs of course and each one will be individual to its wearer anyway. But often the best way to get exactly what you want is to design it for yourself. It doesn’t particularly matter if you are artistic or not; a rough sketch will do and a reputable tattooist will be able to guide you.
In any case, working closely with the artist that will be tattooing you is always a good idea. It helps build up a rapport of course, allows them to understand exactly what you are after and, they can be there to guide and advise you. However, don’t let them lead you; be your own person and make decision for yourself ultimately.
It can often seem easiest to select a standard design. However, the common hearts, flowers and family scrolls may not be right for you. But if that is your choice, great, just make sure you are really happy with it.
Many people find having their design temporarily tattooed for a few weeks helps. Henna tattoos used in this way can help perfect the design and, can help rule out one or two things you are not sure about. Quite a good tip to know really!
Choosing between tattoo designs takes time, and rightly so. However, having made the right choice that you are happy to bear throughout your life, you still need to decide where to get it; and that is a whole different story!
