Jewelry is something we usually crave for but it is not all jewelry we like so much. For example, the metal pieces from Rebekah Frank seem horiifying to me. Only a masochistic fashionista would like to try this or a Lady GaGa fan.
The range includes necklaces, bracelets and even belts that clearly say: Look but not touch! Hazardous as they are they can be interesting additions to outfits for people with unconventional opinions and attitudes.
Claws and thorns are everywhere, you can wear these pieces to parties and be no more afraid of being attacked. Everyone will step away from you as soon as they see your accessories. Go on, our fashionable monsters!

Charity is great and the more people turn to it the better. Rachel Bilson has been the latest to join the group of those who help underpriviledged.
The actress, fashion designer and InStyle contributing editor has created a diamond bracelet to benefit the Diamond Empowerment Fund, a non-profit organisation that supports education in Africa.
Rachel understood she wanted to do something for those in need while she was visiting Botswana and South Africa last month. She went to Africa to learn about improvements made in the diamond mining industry.
The bracelet Rachel designed looks nice. It is made up of brown leather cords, with a gold charm framing a dainty round diamond. It won’t be too expensive – $100, and $20 from the sale of each piece will go to the Fund to build student housing at the CIDA City Campus, a university in Johannesburg which is the country’s first to be virtually free.
The jewellery is available exclusively through InStyle.com.
Rachel has never worked on jewelry but she has some experience in making clothes. She has her own clothing range Edie Rose, which is rather successful. But she says she needs to learn a lot to become a professional.
She said:
I can’t draw at all, so I won’t be doing any sketches, but I am learning to sew. I think it’s important to know more about the whole process of making clothes.”

It’s cold outside and we all want spring to come as soon as possible with its warmth, sun and greenness. And while there is little brightness out there we can think about things that can enliven our life.
Let’s talk about bracelets now. Bracelets are must-haves in any woman’s wardrobe. And we all have so many of them! But do you know that they initially were worn only by men? Read the history of bracelets here.
Spring-Summer 2010 season sees lots of bracelets worn all over the arm, from wrists to forearms. And the diversity of styles and designs is huge.
Let me show you the bracelets I liked the most in designers’ collections.
John Galliano and Lanvin created very elaborate and chic pieces, with lots of beads, chains and gemstones.
Jean Paul Gaultier preferred plastic to other materials and made very extravagant bracelets which could be worn on forearms and elbows.

Kate Moss is not only fashion-conscious, she is fashion-crazy, jewelry-crazy I would say! It was reported yesterday that the supermodel had been so taken with a bracelet one of fellow guests at a recent wedding was wearing that she bought it off the woman immediately.
The accessory was the creation of jewellery designer Ann Dexter-Jones. It was the black onyx, black diamond, solid gold and silver bauble.
Kate wasn’t confident enogh to ask about the bracelet herself, she asked her friend and boss – billionaire retailer and head of Topshop Sir Philip Green – to purchase the piece she wanted so eagerly. So, Ann was offered a large sum of money for the accessory plus Kate was ready to give away her own Chanel bracelet.
Ann Dexter-Jones commented:
She was so crazy to wear it so Sir Philip Green insisted Kate have it immediately and bought it for her right off my wrist. And Kate gave me her Chanel bracelet as a gift, so that my wrist wasn’t bare.”
Ann’s line of now-famous jewelry will debut soon.

Jewelry can be different: not only those beautiful artsy pieces we see in designer collections but also something more impressive and ‘architectural’.
I guess you’ve never seen anyting like this before. Neither have I.
This jewelry is the mix of architecture and fashion by a creative DJ Joshua DeMonte. I’m not sure the pieces are wearable but you can try.
One thing is sure – no one will look as eccentric as you!
I wonder what it’s like wearing a staircase around your neck. Tell me what you think of the pieces at the photos.

We have already seen handbag collection from Furla. In this post I’d like to show you other pieces from accessory line by the label. These are belts, bracelets, watches, and boots.
Reptile leather was used here no rarely than in handbag collection. Leather bracelets and wristlets as well as belts often come from this material, which looks beautiful.
I like the watches, especially the ones with turned up numbers on the dice.

Every woman knows that accessories play a significant role in creating the right image.
But not each of us is aware of how to wear and combine accessories so that they make your image successfully rather than ruin it completely. Let’s discuss this question in the article you see below.
Rings
Petite women with small hands should opt for narrow rings with one or more tiny gemstones. If you would like to choose a wider ring, try to find the one with a narrow stone of an oval shape. Rings with oval gems or the ones of a pear form with the tapered end pointed at the nail, make hands look thinner and more graceful.
Girls and young women are recommended to wear rings with one little precious stone. Middle-aged ladies should prefer rings with a bigger gem or a whole placer of small stones.
Avoid wearing more than one ring. If you have short and thick fingers stay away from choosing a massive wide ring as it will make your hand look bigger than it really is.

The first date is always important as it determines whether your relationship lasts longer or never lasts. Your appearance plays a great role but outfits are no less significant in creating the right impression.
Here are some useful recommendations for you to use when choosing clothes for the first date.
Restrained sexuality
The most essential rule you must follow when choosing clothes for the first date is – do not overdo! Men are always watchful at the first date and many things can puzzle them or even frighten off, though they can look as if nothing is wrong.
Everyone knows that lots of men like miniskirts, deep décolleté and high heels. You should take this into consideration but still be more or less restrained.
If you want to look sexy it doesn’t automatically mean you should wear mesh stockings, a mini skirt, a lacy bustier and a short patent leather jacket.
Too bright and catchy garments might create the impression that you are a narrow-minded dolly.
Dress in something that is hot but seen for your partner only, for instance, a blouse with the upper button undone, a cardigan with a sleeve hanging down from your shoulder, a skirt with a long slit.
Little glamour
Don’t try to impress the man with expensive garments, accessories, famous labels. He might think he doesn’t have enough finances to be with you.
