From the sea to the stars: Natural Pearls

Guest Post

Pearl jewellery is a classic, carrying an elegance and majesty that has attracted women of every generation. Very few pieces of jewellery are timeless, but ask any buyer and they’ll tell you, pearls are treasured forever.

Pearls are found in the sea, before being crafted with meticulous care into their exquisite form. There are many imitations, but a true pearl is unmistakable, and natural pearl jewellery has found its way from the waters to the red carpet, time and time again.

Here are some examples of the world’s most iconic fashionistas, wearing some of the world’s most iconic natural pearls.

Jackie Kennedy

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was more than just the first lady to the 35th President of the United States of America, she was an iconic, ambitious woman in her own right.

Jackie’s style influenced an entire nation of young women, especially when she was seen wearing one of her favourite pieces, the pearl necklace. Pearls have never been so popular as when they found their way into the White House.

Coco Chanel

Perhaps the biggest influence in the fashion industry, Coco Chanel was the only name worth knowing once she made her mark on fashion, fragrance, and took the world by storm.

Chanel is unmistakably the highest authority in fashion and style, and takes the up most pride in wearing her signature pearl necklaces. From the red carpet to her own photo shoots, natural pearls were always the perfect compliment to the little black dress.

Madonna 

In reverence of the aforementioned Coco Chanel, Madonna gave her fair share of adoration to natural pearl jewellery as well, as an elegant offset to the little black dress.

The ‘Vogue’ singer was at one point the music industry’s chief influence on fashion and culture, whilst being one of the most successful female solo artists of all time. Madonna left her mark with a style that set her apart from every other singer, and gave her music new meaning.

Lady Gaga

Regarded by many as the new queen of pop, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, didn’t take long after her first hit single before making headlines with her outlandish fashion statements.

Alongside a whole host of outstanding and somewhat controversial outfit choices, Gaga maintained her love of natural pearls, sporting a wide array of necklaces, bracelets and even face-pearls throughout her illustrious and incomparably extravagant career.

Natalie Portman

 

When pearls came to Hollywood, they were worn by the red carpet’s most elegant starlets, one of whom is Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman.

The ‘Black Swan’ star made headlines when she graced the cover Harper’s Bazaar in October 2006, wearing a beautiful set of natural pearl necklaces. Portman’s cover was a tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s starring role in 1961’s ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, for which Hepburn wore the same black column dress.

Mantolin Pearls is an online retailer specialising in freshwater pearls, a natural, beautiful type of pearl jewellery. Freshwater pearls are found in rivers and lakes as opposed to the saltwater variety, which are found in oceans. Freshwater pearl jewellery carries the same beauty expected of natural pearls, but they are much more affordable than the commonly worn saltwater pearls.

Mantolin Pearls take inspiration straight from the classics into a beautiful collection of natural freshwater pearl jewellery, combining a selection of elegant white pearls and multicolour pearl jewellery bracelets, necklaces and earrings, creating the perfect compliment to any outfit.

Yes..Lovelyshoes.net

Its a super awesome site where not only shoes, but also clothes are at super cheap prices..yes the shipping cost is added according to weight..but if you buy from their sale i.e the reduced prices like me..even after the shipping, its pretty reasonable.

Coming to my haul, I bought this leopard print crop top..cant wait to do an outfit post with it..

Black ankle strap open toe wedges..the heels are longgg..I did not expect that much height :p But its fine..coz they are not heavy..and quite comfy..

Black leather boots with metal buckles..these are sooo soft and super comfy and light weight..and feel perfectly warm..my favorites..

And lastly these beige and khakhi glitter ankle length sneakers..these look so chic ! But these are definitely a little heavy :/ I wish these were lighter too..


I used Aramex Express for shipping..like I always do in wholesale-dress.net too..and its quick and pretty reasonable compared to other options..I received my package in 3 days flat !! Thats the best part..no long waiting period !


I highly highly recommend this site..especially for shoes ! Must check !

Sorry for the pics with flash…it was dark when I clicked the pics..and I was pretty excited to open and try stuff :p

By the way my cam’s flash is always this bright that it completely darkens the background..and it always washes out my eye makeup or other makeup if I use flash..that makes me wonder how do you guys click eye makeup pics with flash ? Any tips, suggestions ?

Did you like the shoes? Which ones are your favorite ?

OOTD: Coral Pink Maxi Dress, Black- White Striped Jacket

Hey guys,

Another OOTD..this time its a maxi dress..I don’t know why all maxi dress from Chinese sites reach till the knees..and not proper maxi dress..are Chinese girls short ? And could this be a reason ? Any idea ? 😀

Anyways, coming back to the outfit, you guys saw how I layered my pleated dresses with jackets..leather and denim..HERE and HERE..this sort of simple layering definitely works for a climate like Mumbai..where it is not too cold..but just windy and pleasant..but cold enough for a sweatshirt or a jacket..

This time I layered this pleated coral pink maxi dress with a black and white striped jacket..which is not that thick..but cardigan like..the dress is sheer from the knee onwards..

I like the gold detailing on the sleeves and collar..I paired it with white pumps and blue statement necklace and neon bracelet and a neon green statement ring..

Dress: Rosewholesale
Jacket: Rosewholesale
Shoes: Sammydress
Neon Bracelet: Shown HERE, HERE and HERE
Necklace: Shown HERE

Beautiful Prom and Wedding Dresses

Beautiful Prom and Wedding Dresses

A girl who wants to impress all of her friends at this year’s prom or homecoming dance has a lot of appealing options when it comes to dresses. If she wants to shop new arrivals, here are some of the popular styles she will get to choose from.

First, a dress with a sweetheart neckline is very popular this season. This neckline looks attractive on most body types and can be dressed up in a number of different ways. Some girls want a dress up with a sweetheart neckline with a bodice that is decorated with sparkles. A spray of sparkling beads on a dress for prom or homecoming is sure to set a girl apart from the crowd. Another option is a dress with a sweetheart neckline with a bodice that is decorated with lace. Lace can be a dramatic option for a girl who wants a dress with a modern touch of style. The best thing about a sweetheart neckline is that a girl can pair her ensemble with an attractive necklace that can turn into the highlight of her outfit.

Next, floor length dresses are also popular this season. A flowing dress that brushes the floor as a girl walks is one option. Some girls are opting for a tighter fitting dress with a layer of lace underneath. A daring slit on a prom or homecoming dress is also a hot trend this season. Many girls are pairing a floor length dress with strappy sandals or heels that peek out from beneath the hem of the dress when they are on the dance floor.

Pastel colors are another popular style option for proms and homecoming dances this year. Light blue, green, lavender or pink are all appealing to many girls who want to dance the night away at their school’s function. These pastel colors can be highlighted with criss crossing bead designs, splashes of beads or even an embroidered design.

Finally, many girls are choosing a formal dress with a halter neckline. Some girls like showing off their back in a dress that is fit and flare. The bodice of the dress is fitted while the bottom of the dress has layers of fabric that flare out and move around a girl’s legs. She can have both appealing styles in one dress. This is sure to gain admiration from her friends at the party as well as her date!
