In that case also, you would save yourself considerable money by buying a new citizen watch band than investing on a new citizen watch.

Gift Idea – Bath Robes that Reflect your Personality
11.19.09 | Leave a Comment!

We are planning to spend Christmas and New Year with my in-laws this year. When making a list of the items to pack for the trip, I realized that all our bath robes are in a pretty bad shape. I believe that your choice of clothes and accessories speaks volumes about your personality. This holds true for your choice of bath robes too. So I sat down and ordered one bathrobe each for all my family, based on their personality:

I ordered a Fuschia Flower Robe for my two-year old daughter. She absolutely loves flowers and bright colors. This 100% velour robe has a vivid fuschia flower embroidery and violet piping on a white background. It is in a small size, 20” long and has a 12 ¾” length sleeve. It is also available in a medium size for 3 and 4 year olds.

Look Stunning in a Circle With Diamonds Necklace
11.18.09 | Leave a Comment!

I just love receiving and giving gifts, in that order! My husband too shares this sentiment.The only hitch is that Ash doesn’t like to buy a present that the receiver is expecting or to reveal the gift that he is going to give till the D-Day. He secretly buys a gift (without consulting us, of course) and then hides it! So more often than not, my children and I receive gifts that we are not exactly thrilled about. This year I would somehow have to make him “come up with the idea” of gifting me a diamond necklace! I want him to present me with a circle with diamonds necklace, as it would match the round diamond stud earrings that I was planning to buy for myself.

I realized that I would first have to select a necklace before I seeded the idea into Ash’s mind. When I searched the net, I saw such a vast selection of necklaces that I would have been totally confused as to what to choose. Fortunately my choice was narrowed down, as I wanted a necklace that would coordinate with my earring perfectly. I found three such necklaces that would make the perfect holiday gift for women: Read more…
Top 4 Shoe Trends of the Winter Season
11.17.09 | 1 Comment

Face it, you can never have too many shoes. And as the weather gets cooler, there’s more reason to keep your feet warm and comfy. Here are four different types of shoes with different functions that you should keep in your wardrobe this season.

1. Over-the-knee Boots

You’re going to see this everywhere because it’s the shoe of the season. We first saw them on the celebs, then it evolved into a trend that was “only for tall people”, but now it’s generally accepted for this fall and winter. Wear it with a mini, a tunic, a dress, or over jeans—just make sure that you’re not too bulky on the top or it will look too heavy. Keep it simple so that the focus would be on your boots. Also, the flat, suede, over-the-knee style is especially in this season, so consider giving it a try!

2. Fur-lined Flats

You’ll definitely want to keep your feet warm in the cooler weather. What other fur-lined alternatives are there other than Ugg boots and those not-so-fancy moccasins? Try American Eagle’s Plaid Wool Flats—they’re simple, chic, and keep your feet warm. They basically go with anything!
