Fashion Accessories

I'm so in love with earrings. Too much I guess because I used to have 4 piercings for each ear, but I had to close two holes on my right ear, so I'm down to 6. As we all know, accessories isn't only limited to earrings of course. There are necklaces, bracelets, watches, bags, wallets, charms, glasses and whatnot.

Most women love all sorts of accessories and they put it in the most creative places. It's also a wonder how the designers for these accessories are able to come up with the most wonderful and cutest designs.

So are you fan of accessories? Which kinds of accessories can be found with you at all times?

Denim Skirts

I don't have any trouble when wearing jeans, but I can't say the same for denim skirts. They feel so heavy and tough. I have a hard time wearing them.

So I want to know how women feel about denim skirts.

Wear it or forget it?

The ultimate fashion icon...

...is Barbie back in the old days. The new Barbie's look is just off, IMO. They shouldn't have re-invented her physical appearance. Bring the old Barbie back!

Anyway, Barbie has been a fashion icon for decades. Not only does she have the most stylish outfits that go from casual to formal, but even major designers make clothes for her! Of course, these "branded" Barbies are sold as Limited Edition ones and are quite pricey. If you don't believe me, the picture of Barbie above is the Givenchy Barbie and yes, it fetches loads of money.

I don't really know how they come up with the designs for Barbie's clothes, but they're all so wonderful. Her clothes include gowns, swimsuits, casual, semi-formal, laid-back, fantasy, international and themed - these are the ones that include Disney, McDonald's, fairy tales and other clothes that deviates from the usual fashion.

I'm wondering how many people collected those limited edition Barbies that look really fashionable (and kept them in mint condition). It would be a great sight -- boxes and boxes of glamorous Barbies lined up in a shelf, sporting intricately designed gowns and costumes.

Did you collect Barbies as a kid? Do you still collect them now?

Well here are some of those "designer Barbies" that I've been talking about.

Celebrities in jeans

Here are some celebrities in jeans. It's quite undeniable that jeans are one of the most comfortable clothing ever invented. They're good to wear when just hanging out, or during a trip to the mall... Jeans can even be worn at semi-casual and casual events. Just choose the right pair of jeans that fit well, a nice top, and you're good to go!

Some of the celebrities favorite brands of jeans are: 7 For All Mankind, William Rast, Hudson Jeans, Juicy Couture, Arrogant Cat, Roxy, Frankie B, People's Liberation, Wrangler 47, True Religion, 575 Denims and J & Company's.

Style: Paris Hilton

Today we have Paris Hilton. It's undeniable that's she's one of Hollywood's hottest and biggest socialites, with numerous news bits, photos and scandals under her belt. Not only that but Paris is also known for different products that use her name to gain recognition - bags, clothes, perfumes, watches and whatnot. She may have a lot of negative feedback following her around, but you've got to admit, she's got style.

Style: Angelina Jolie

I personally think that Angelina Jolie, especially in her latter years, always look good no matter what she wears. She just brings out the best clothes can offer - no matter what type of clothing it is. I have here some pictures of her in different styles of clothing and I'd appreciate to know what everyone thinks.

Medusa's Head

Anyone who sees this logo will automatically associate it with Versace. I guess that's how popular it already is. I don't really know why it has to be Medusa's head, so I decided to do a little research and here's what I found:

First, a little bit of history. I think everyone, at one point or another, studied Greek mythology and encountered Medusa. She's a once-beautiful maiden who was punished for allowing herself to be seduced by Poseidon in Aphrodite's temple. Medusa's hair, her most glorifying attribute, became snakes and anyone who looks at her will turn to stone.

Come the Roman era, Greek myths infused itself with Roman ones. Medusa, in this period, was transformed into a yet again beautiful woman with her snake-hair elegantly donning her head. This facinated Gianni Versace a lot, being a fan of classical art and all.

Him being from Southern Italy also helped in cultivating that fascination with Greek and Roman mythology and decided to use the powerful Medusa to represent his designs, which are for women who were passionate and opulent.
