Transforming Heirlooms into Fashionable Jewelry

by admin

Family heirlooms are often cherished pieces of jewelry that are kept for sentimental reasons among members of a family. However, these beautiful items are often stored away in jewelry boxes as they no longer reflect the current style. Additionally, many small trinkets that are passed down in a family may not actually be meant to be worn, yet they have the potential to become a beautiful piece of jewelry. Beads, loose jewels and other baubles often fall into this category.

When family heirlooms and other items become pushed to the back of the jewelry drawer or stored away in a box, then it is time to begin finding unique ways to wear them so that they can begin to reflect their significance as a family treasure.

Restring Beads

When bracelets or necklaces break, many people keep the beads or charms as they tend to be made from expensive stones or jewels. Although this is done with the best of intentions, these items often sit for long periods of time as no one knows what to do with them. Many times, beads and other baubles can be restrung by simply placing them on a beautiful base. Magnet Jewelry Store has many styles of necklaces and bracelets that can be embellished by adding a few pretty charms or beads.

Mix and Match 

Many times, a piece of jewelry will have several good beads or jewels, while the others have fallen into disrepair. Additionally, older pieces of jewelry may include color schemes that are no longer in style. In these instances, several pieces of jewelry can be combined into one stunning piece. This works best with necklaces and bracelets. However, the stones from earrings and rings can be added to new settings to make a unique piece of jewelry as well.

Vintage Charm 

Sometimes, simply finding a new way to wear a vintage piece of jewelry is all that is needed. Broaches may have fallen out of style, but by adding a new back or loop, they can make a unique pendant that is certain to serve as a conversation piece. Additionally, costume jewelry may be overwhelming when worn as a set, yet wearing only one piece at a time can contribute to a refined overall look.

Finding new ways to wear old jewelry is a great way to give old family heirlooms a fresh look. While many vintage pieces may need only a few minor adjustments, it is possible to create an entirely new piece by simply adding or rearranging a few beads and jewels. This way, a family heirloom can be displayed proudly as a piece of a person’s family history.

The Tips For Keeping Your Hair Extensions Smooth And Soft

1.It is recommended to brush your hair daily using a clip in hair extensions brush. Hold your hair in a ponytail style , brush DRY hair in a downward motion starting from the very bottom, working your way up.Hair extensions are often treated with chemicals to make them stronger and more durable. As a result, they can be dry and tough to the touch, not soft or silky. However, you can make them softer, shinier-the kind of hair you can run your fingers by using both homemade and  hair conditioners. You can apply these remedies both before and after the extensions have been placed in your hair; the conditioning treatments will work in both cases.

2.We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every couple weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp, it is not getting the oils it should be. Using a treatment/hair mask will help keep them looking healthier and shiny for longer with clip in hair extensions! You will find that you don’t need to wash your extensions too much. (Just use shampoo on your scalp, and let the water rinse it through the bottom, do not rub shampoo through the extensions this will cause tangling. It is highly recommended to use a moisturizing detangling solution after washing.  This will assist in retaining moisture in the hair and easier comb out.

3.When blowing, styling, or hot iron styling your hair, use extra caution, and lower settings, to avoid too much heat damage. After use of heating tools will dry out the hair more quickly causing more tangling and/or dryness.It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them. If you do plan on using hot tools, it is best to apply a heat protection prior to heat styling.If you are in ANY chlorine or salt water, you must rinse well with shower water. Do not go to bed with it in your hair, the chlorine / salt water will weaken the attachment area and dry out extensions.

Lighter colors are processed more; resulting in a little more of a dryer texture then darker colors and using these tips will aid in keeping your extension healthy, shiny and longer wear.

Dressing for Fall

by admin

Fall can be an incredibly hard time to pick out the proper outfits.  The weather seems to jump from really hot and humid to suddenly cold and wet.  Then, you throw in “rules of thumb” like no white after Labor Day, and you can start running into challenges with any wardrobe.  Here are some thoughts on dressing for fall!

Summer Style Still Works

For the most part, summer styles still work very well in the fall.  For example, you can wear polo shirts by Debenhams, or other causal polo shorts and still look great.  On hot fall days, there is nothing wrong with wearing shorts and flip-flops, or other summer-like clothes that make you feel comfortable.

Some things you may want to avoid are real “beachy” clothes unless you are actually going to the beach.  For example, you may not want to wear board shorts or tank tops this time of year.  Those are more appropriate attire for the spring and summer.

Things to Keep in Mind

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that, in many parts of the country, fall is that time of year when it starts getting much cooler.  This means making sure that you have your coats or sweaters readily available.  You never know when the weather could change (and it seems to change very quickly overnight).  You wake up one morning, and it is suddenly raining.

A good strategy for this time of year is to focus on layering.  This means wearing your jeans and a polo, but adding a sweater in the cool mornings.  As your day progresses, you can lose the sweater, but at least you will have it with you should you want to put it back on in the evening (if it gets cool outside again).

Another thing to keep in mind is it is sometimes a good idea to keep a spare coat and umbrella in the trunk of you car in case the weather changes drastically during the day.  That way you are always prepared should something come up.

What a Man’s Wardrobe Needs to Include

by admin

If you’re right out of college, chances are your wardrobe isn’t going to be setting you up for success in the business world.  For most people, it takes several years of building up items of clothing before their wardrobe is really considered complete.  Here are the main things that you should be including in your wardrobe, plus a great place you can find a lot of it.

 For Work

Every man needs to own a least one suit, and it should be pressed and ready to wear at a moment’s notice.  If you are just starting out, you will probably only have one suit, so make sure that it always fits, it’s dark in color, and is a style that will always be fashionable.  The key colors are navy and grey, and by fashionable, it should just not be trendy (like super skinny or signature styles).

With the suit, you should also have a set of dress shirts to go with the suit, and also for work in general.  Most of the shirts should be solid in color, and usually white or blue.  Once you have your solids, you can add in some stripes and checkers to make a full wardrobe.  Remember, for your base collection, keep in plain so it’s not memorable, and your peers won’t think you’re wearing the same clothes all the time.

You also need to maintain some ties to compliment your outfits.  You should have about 3 ties for every suit, and keep the tie colors classic – blue, red, gold, with basic stripes or dots.

Casual Attire

This is an area that you have probably already mastered if you’ve graduated from college.  Most casual attire wardrobes include the variety of tee shirts, polos, denim jeans, and casual shoes.

For casual events, you should also consider getting some slacks and khakis that you can wear with a nice polo.  This would work well for a weekend event or other casual get together.

Don’t forget to include warm weather clothes as well, since the weather can always be unpredictable.

Where To Find It

 When you’re just starting out, you should probably build your wardrobe over time.  But you can find great deals on clothes at online shops like Scotts, that has a lot of both formal and casual menswear.  Remember, you don’t need to go hogwild when you get your first job.  See what others are wearing and build your wardrobe out slowly.
