Juicy Couture Charms

The famous Juicy Couture charm bracelets look fabulous for anyone. At first, there was only the signature gold bracelet with the large chain links and gold heart but since then they released a silver one. They have also recently released a pink, blue, and rainbow bracelet as well as many versions to the original gold charm bracelet. Juicy charms have expanded and they now have many to choose from. The charms are mostly gold with some silver ones. Most of the charms can open and have something that pops out or moves. The intricate charms have bright colors and usually lots of sparkles. Like the charms below they all have a gold (or silver) latch that can connect to a bracelet or necklace with the signature juicy crown. They can be just about anything such as the ice cream, good luck horseshoe, or cupcake that opens. There are also special edition charms that are released every holiday and there are usually about 5 reviled at Christmas time. If you can find them in the picture above you can see an easter egg, a 4 leaf clover, and candy corn which were all special edition holiday releases. The easter egg even opens up to reveal a scottie puppy and the clover opens too. I actually have the cupcake and the four leaf clover and a horse shoe. I think they are all very cute and fun to collect! Do you have any Juicy charms?

Real or Steal?

Real or Steal? Tiffany's & co vs. Dillards. Tiffany's, one of the best and most expensive jewlery you can buy is always being copied by others for a cheaper price. Of course nothing compares to reciving the robbin egg blue signature tiffany's box with the white bow. Tiffany's has also been copied with there key collection they released last year. Diamond keys became very stylish and places like Dillards sold knock offs as well as fancy, real jewelers who sold similar ones to the real necklaces at Tiffany's. With Tiffany's new lock collection to go along with the previous key collection I suspect that locks will become very popular soon too.
Anyway, for the Tiffany's stunning diamond necklace on a silver chain is not super flashy but very elegant and gorgeous. The Dillards necklace is too but I like the Tiffany necklace better. I like the thin chain that the Dillard's necklace has but I think with that paticular necklace I like the chain links better. I also like the cut of the diamon in the Tiffany necklace it is a classier style wheras the Dillard's necklace looks a bit flat and not as shiny or catchy. The circles holding the diamond look like they belong on the Tiffany necklae but look kinda big and out of place with the Dillard's thin chain.

Real or Steal?

Real or Steal? Forever 21 vs. Badgley Mischka. The black glitter shoes are perfect for a night out. The sequins will let you glisten and shine and will go with just about anything. The edgier Forever 21 pumps and sequins sewn on to them which can be a slight problem if they fall off. The Badgley Mischka heels do not look like the sparkles would come off of them.  Both shoes have a similar heel that is narrow. The Forever 21 shoes might be a little thicker. They also are both opened toes though the Badgley Mischka
shoes seem to have a slightly bigger opening then the forever 21 shoes. The insides of the shoes are also different one is black while the other is tan and both have a silver sole. The inside of the heel is also different. I like the black Forever 21 style better. The Forever 21 shoes have the sequins down the heel of the shoe while the Badgley Mischka are just black. I think I like the Forever 21 shoes better because the are a litlle more sparkly and will glisten in the light more then the Badgley Mischka heels though both of them are very pretty. Even though you have to risk having spots in your shoes if you wear them to often I think the Forever 21 shoes are a little more fun the the other. They have an edgier and more youthful look while the designer heels are a slightly more professional, sophisticated look. Tell us what you think about the shoes!

OPI nail polish

The names of OPI nail polish have become one of the most famous things about the nice brand of polish. The silly, creative names can be one of the best parts about picking out your color at the nail salon. Some names and colors are very well known but most are not as comenly heard of. One famous one you might reconize is Cajun shrimp. Some other creative names may be Pinking O You, Tutti Fruitti, and Yoga-ta Get This Blue and there are hundreds more! They also have collections such as the Shrek collection last year and the Katy Perry collection with colors like Teenage Dream, Funky Dunkey, Ogre-the-top blue, and Purple Planks for the new pirates of the Carribean theme. They have been doing states. They now are on Texas with colors like Austin-tatious, Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em, and Ya'll come back now, Ya hear?. The names originally came by the creators sister. The creater of OPI started as selling dental productsand later opened OPI in 1981. George Schaeffer, the founder of Odontorium Products Inc soon realized that the acrylic “porcelains” used to make dentures were similar to and, in fact, even better than the materials used by Nail Professionals for crafting acrylic nails. He opened a small buissness which became extreamly successful but it was his sister who originally came up with the fun names.

Real or Steal?

Real or Steal? Brain Atwood vs. Forever 21. Brain Atwood's stunning copper high heels have been somewhat sopied by Forever 21's silver evening shoes.
The copper shoes are pretty and a unique color you don't see very often but I like Forever 21's silver better. I wear a lot more silver and think it would go with more then copper but it is a twist. The heels are about the same width but I think Brain Atwood's shoes are taller. Also there is a seam in the front of his shoe by the toe that the evening shoes do not have. instead, the Forever 21 shoes have a platform about an inch tall and are smooth at the end other then the copper shoes which are tilted upward. The silver shoes are also silver inside and out. I think that would look good so you can not see the different inside even though it hardly peeks out and sometimes not at all. The two tone is more of a formal desiner look. Which is just as well because that is the desiner shoe. The color of both shoes change slightly on the heel portion of the shoes. By look I think the silver shoes look more comfortable too.  Both shoes curve a little upward at the end of the shoe on the back of your ankle. Both shoes are gorgeous but I think I surprising like the Forever 21 silver evening shoes better. Tell me what you think!

Hair extensions

Hair extensions and jewels have become the latest fasion assesory. No matter your age your age you are not too young or old for a feather in your hair. from natural colors to neon pink, tiffiany's blue, bright green, and a dazzling purple to add to your hair. The many colors let you expess yourself and even your favorite color and make a great everyday assesory to add. The popular feathers can be seen everywhere.The feathers are actually turkey feathers but can come in sizes fat and short to long and skinny. They even curl when you curl your hair. You have to use a special brush with them but they can be found at any place selling hair accesorys. They are put on your hair by a clip and can even be taken off at home if you decide to take it off.  Another thing that has been used in hair are rinstones. You can get clear or rainbow gems that come on a string to be glued in your hair like a real extension from hairdreams. They are not as easy to get out but last longer. You can use the same kind of brush you use for the feather or the special hairdreams brush that you can buy to complement it. Either extension is very fun and a great way to spice up your everyday wardrobe.

OPI shatter nail polish

OPI's Katy Perry collection which included a new black shatter has changed nail polish. The black shatter could be added to any nail polish as well as the katy perry collection with nail polishes like: Not Like the Movies, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, and The one who Got Away.
Last Friday Night is a perfect nail polish for something fun. It is a bright ble with large sparkles in it. With the balck shatter it almost looks blueish instead of black. Not Like The Movies is a redish pink nail polish that i like  a lot on toes and finger nails. It still looks pretty wioth the black shatter too. By itself it could go for something dressy but the black shatter givews it more of a fun youthful look.. Not like the Movies is also a sparkly nail polish buut pink instead of blue. I like this color A LOT but more by itself then with the black shatter though it looks pretty with it too. The last nail polish released in the collection was The One Who Got Away which is my favorite! it looks rainbow. Though it is a light color which I don't usually care for it changes color depending how you look at it in the light. So if there is not a lot of light it will look silver but if you are in the sun or it hits the light just right it will be rainbow. The black shatter kinda hids the effect but I think it would still look good with it. Pirates of the Caribbean is also relasing a spring nail polish with OPI and with the pastel colors you wouldn't picture with pirates there is a gorgeous sliver shatter. The silver shatter look perfect with no matter what color is on your nails. But I especially like it with the light pastels the purple and blue are my favorites. The new line should be availble soon! tell us what you think about shatter!
