Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year Travelling Jewelry Wardrobe

By Janice Wee

Are you staying over at your parent's place for Thanksgiving?

Will you be attending one party after another during the holiday season?

Are you going away on a vacation?

Don't forget to bring along your jewelry wardrobe. If you are space-challenged, you might even be able to pack your entire jewelry wardrobe into a pillbox.

Get yourself cubic zirconia diamond and gemstone earrings. These are all the accessories you need to carry along with you for your travelling wardrobe.

For one thing, earrings set in sparkling gemstones enhance a woman's appearance instantly. As the light from the gemstones are reflected on the wearer's face, her skin looks more radiant and her eyes light up. Somehow diamond earrings are able to bring out a woman's innate beauty.

The best thing about earrings is that you can fit several pairs of earrings into a tiny coin purse or even a pillbox if you are talking about those tiny stud earrings. Larger chandelier earrings or shoulder dusters should fit nicely into a waist pouch or a coin purse or any spare space in your suitcase or even a CD wallet. In any case, you would be able to carry an entire jewelry wardrobe wherever you go.

Bring along diamond stud earrings for the day, larger clip on earrings (no dangles as these are distracting) for the office, hoops for glamour and shoulder dusters or chandelier earrings for red carpet moments when you want to look amazing.

Switch earrings when you go from day to night. Gorgeous drop earrings are wonderful for a romantic date, and chandelier earrings are for times when you are dressed to kill.

There is a major disadvantage with bringing around diamonds or precious gemstones with you when you travel. For one thing. you could get robbed. Or you might lose an expensive diamond earring while you are dancing, or moving from one place to another. That might mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars down the drain.

For women on the go, your best bet would be something that looks like diamonds and rubies and precious gemstones, but costs very little in comparison. I'm talking about costume jewelry. Unlike tacky costume jewelry centuries ago, today's imitation diamonds look so much like the real thing that you may need special instruments to tell the difference. The very affordable cubic zirconia is often used in place of diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds in the best costume jewelry that may be made of precious silver. You can even get a look-alike pair inspired by what your favourite Hollywood starlet wore to the oscars, or which your favourite celeb wore to the Grammys. You can even get jewelry inspired by Bulgari and other prohibitively expensive fine jewelry store. These cz earrings are jewels you can wear freely when you travel.

With cubic zirconia earrings, you can afford to collect a complete jewelry wardrobe. Pick earrings in colors you normally wear to match your clothes. These should be colors that flatter you.

Also get earrings that are white and colorless (think diamonds) as these would go with all your outfits.

Take into account your size.

If you are big, go for chunky jewelry. Few women can carry them off with panache and you are one of these lucky few. These are the earrings you can wear:

1. Large clip on earrings or button earrings.

2. Chandelier earrings

3. Shoulder Duster earrings

4. Stunning earrings with large drops

5. Large, chunky hoop earrings.

If you are petite, go for dainty earrings. Tiny studs wouldn't get lost on you as they might on your larger friends. Wear earrings that look wonderful on you but odd on them.

1. Tiny stud earrings

2. Delicate filigree earrings

3. Small drop earrings

4. Single stone ear studs

5. Dainty dangling earrings

You earring wardrobe can transform any outfit you wear.

Wearing a little black dress?

You can change your look by switching the accessories. For a fancy dinner, try that LBD with a pair of shoulder dusters and a pair of metallic stilletto sandals. Style your hair in an updo and let a few tendrils loose.

For a romantic dinner, wear that black dress with demure drop earrings and mary janes. Tuck your hair behind your ears.

For a business presentation, wear that dress with a power jacket and clip on earrings or button earrings and a pair of black pumps.

For a sexy date, wear hoop earrings with your little black dress and a pair of Manilo Blahniks.

Get the picture?

Back home, you can organize your entire collection in a pretty jewelry box or a compartmentalized box meant for fish bait. Whichever suits your needs for your jewelry collection.

So look for jewelry designs with sapphires, lapis lazuli, blue jade, aquamarine, blue topaz, turquoise, blue opals, blue moonstones, as well as the handmade lampwork beads in blue and the blue cubic zirconia tones. The range of shades of blue will let you match the best ones for you.

The popular fall & winter 2007 - 2008 color trends also include the favorite and classic black. It is a wardrobe favorite with how easy it is to wear and never really goes out of style. In the world of jewelry black is showcased to its best effect with jet, black onyx, black diamonds and black pearls.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2007/2008

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2007/2008.

This is my favorite video - beautiful dresses. Many color variations, very "female", elegant - everything is beautiful. Take a look - you will probably love it too!

Autumn/Winter 2007-2008

Wildlifeworks Autumn/Winter 2007-2008

After watching this video I can't say that I love the fashion tendencies for Autumn/Winter 2007-2008, but they are as they are...

What you think about those? I always thought that we need more colors in Autumn/Winter season as it's too gray itself...

What IS Fashion?

Fashion is a term that usually applies to a prevailing mode of expression, but quite often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to all. Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will change more quickly than the culture as a whole. The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour and beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads, trends, and materialism.

Fashion is something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.

One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear.

Musicians and other cultural icons have always influenced what we're wearing, but so have political figures and royalty.

Fashion is revealing. Clothes reveal what groups people are in. In high school, groups have names: "goths, skaters, preps, herbs." Styles show who you are, but they also create stereotypes and distance between groups. For instance, a businessman might look at a boy with green hair and multiple piercings as a freak and outsider. But to another person, the boy is a strict conformist. He dresses a certain way to deliver the message of rebellion and separation, but within that group, the look is uniform. Acceptance or rejection of a style is a reaction to the society we live in.

Fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it.

Fashion is big business. More people are involved in the buying, selling and production of clothing than any other business in the world. Everyday, millions of workers design, sew, glue, dye, and transport clothing to stores. Ads on buses, billboards and magazines give us ideas about what to wear, consciously, or subconsciously.

Fashion is an endless popularity contest.

High fashion is the style of a small group of men and women with a certain taste and authority in the fashion world. People of wealth and position, buyers for major department stores, editors and writers for fashion magazines are all part of Haute Couture ("High Fashion" in French). Some of these expensive and often artistic fashions may triumph and become the fashion for the larger majority. Most stay on the runway.

Popular fashions are close to impossible to trace. No one can tell how the short skirts and boots worn by teenagers in England in 1960 made it to the runways of Paris, or how blue jeans became so popular in the U.S., or how hip-hop made it from the streets of the Bronx to the Haute Couture fashion shows of London and Milan.

But it's always interesting to keep on eye fashion history as well as news.
