Kelly Wearstler Brass Knot Ring

I’ve talked about my obsession with teeny, tiny rings before. Though every now and then I come across a bigger beauty that is worthy of my love. Kelly Wearstler’s Brass Knot Ring (available from her newly launched store), is one of them. Sculptural and organic, it’s what a statement ring should be: a captivating piece of artistry. Best of all, just like you, its antique brass finish will get better with age.

Tom Ford “Lock” Flat Fold-Over Convertible Clutch

I tend to like bigger handbags because a smaller bag can never fit all my junk in it. I put everything you can imagine in my purse. Makeup, wallets, phone charger, iPad Mini, flats and much more. Im constantly on the go so I have to make sure that whatever bag I purchase has to be able to fit all my essentials in it. I normally only carry satchels and on occasion shoulder bags. When I saw the Tom Ford Lock Flat Fold-Over Convertible Clutch, I laughed. It is by far one of the most unique shaped shoulder bags I have ever seen! If I owned it I would probably use it folded over a majority of the time but using it as a shoulder bag definitely makes a statement! It literally looks like a big makeup pouch with a hole in it. Its definitely the most oddly stunning piece Ive seen in a while and I have to say Im a fan of it.

This bag is edgy, fierce and just plain cool.

3 Reasons Why It’s Cool To Design Your Own Clothing

You don’t need to be a fashion designer to design and make your own clothes. There was a time when most females would buy Vogue or another labels patterns, select the fabric that took their fancy and then make the garment. They ended up with a fabulous new dress or outfit that no other lady had. Recently the concept of one-off design has been rising in popularity again. Usually to get a one-off design you have to be ready to spend the big money, this has now changed and one-off designs have been reduced in price. The prices are still quite high though and finding a piece that you’re willing to spend that much money on can be difficult. So why not make your own t shirt or outfit? It’s easier than you think. All you need is an idea, a pattern and a sewing machine. If you feel like you need some extra help, there are plenty of workshops available. The f Full Article…

FLOTUS gets a fringe: Michelle Obama’s new hairstyle

Following in the footsteps of the Duchess of Cambridge, Michelle Obama has become the latest famous face to opt for a fringe.

The first lady’s office posted a picture of Mrs Obama’s new hairdo on her new Twitter page ( @FLOTUS ) last night. It shows her meeting at the White House with one of eight citizens named co-chairs of President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

The last time Mrs Obama was seen in public, earlier this month when she and her family returned from Hawaii, her dark, shoulder-length hair was held away from her face by a headband. Her next public appearances will come on Saturday, when she helps kick off several days of inaugural festivities.

Thursday turned out to be a busy day for the first lady. Along with the new Twitter presence, she celebrated her 49th birthday.

Mrs Obama launched her personal Twitter account on Thursday.

 2)      Natural solutions: Sometimes, the answer to chapped lips just comes, well, naturally.
