Black clothes make you look elegant, stylish, slim. Black makeup tells everybody that your  are 1) a hot women 2) very brave one. Today, forget about black cats and all these awful beliefs regarding them, gone are the days, when black was solely a colour of  evil. Now, most people choose:

For many years apparel from Gucci is synonymous with glamour and stylish appeal.  It goes without saying, that wearing Gucci you are fashionable and possess excellent taste. Gucci offers the most wanted things and accessories, that  are the best signs of luxury and class as well. The story of Gucci started in 1921 and Gucci horsebit hobo handbag since then Gucci turned into flourishing and successful Italian brand in the world of fashion. 

As for me, Gucci handbags are one of the most popular items in Gucci collections. They are recognizable, reliable, comfortable, stylish and of high quality. The only one problem,  there are hundreds of handbags, so it may be extremely hard to choose the one for you. After sleepless nights of choosing, clicking the pages and thinking I found 2 handbags I like the most. The 1st one is Gucci Horsebit Hobo Handbag. Actually, not because it sells the best and considered to be the most demanding Gucci handbag, and not because many celebrities have chosen it as their absolute favorite, but ’cause it is really stylish and eye-catching.

Description:

This nice Gucci Hobo Bag is a medium shoulder one with double braided straps and unique GG fabric with a trim from white leather and gold accessories. What is more, it is so convenient inside with the main area and zippered pockets. It costs approximately $500. Oh, it looks amazing!

Gucci messenger bag The next bags I liked – Gucci Messenger Bags. These bags are ideal for those who are always on the go: with such bags you can easily transport all the necessary things from one place to another. Messenger bags are not a privilege of students alone, business professionals, stylish ladies, most people like them and choose them. They are a prefect combination of style and usefulness. Some messenger bags are made up from a waterproof vinyl fabric, like a raincoat but for your things!

But, it goes without saying, that you can choose any Gucci handbag you want. It was just my choice. All Gucci bags are really worth your attention.

They are standing on their knees in front of you and give you everything you want: flowers, candies, prestigious cars and resorts, haute couture apparel, amazing fragrances and expensive jewelry… It is just so nice to be a woman.

Well, jewelry. It can be different, it can be perfect and bright, expensive and not very, but be sure, it can make a Queen out of a Cinderella. Any woman likes various rings, ear-rings, necklaces. So, if you already have a man that has a strong resemblance to Brad Pitt and the same budget as Arabian sheikh, please, view the following information…

Problems with ear-rings and rings choosing are so familiar to me. Very often your favourite ring doesn’t go with this necklace or ear-rings and this skirt is impossible to wear with another ring. Seems like a dead-lock? Not any more, thanks to Couture In The City Blog. There I found an amazing solution – cocktail rings, oh, they are so stylish. This ring makes your hand attractive and worth looking at. It will draw attention of the publicity. What is more, it is perfect with almost any ear-rings, ’cause it makes you look elegant and stylish. Forget about old-fashioned small rings, choose this one – big and bright!

On Fabsugar I found a perfect couple to my future cocktail ring – a stylish and a little bit vintage necklace from JBalducci Jewelry collection. It looks usual, but will be perfect with a cocktail ring. Because it is small, elegant and will draw attention without making emphasize exceptionally on your neck.

Now, please, remember the statistic data about supremodels. Most of them are women. Beautiful, powerful and touching women. Heidi Klum is one of them and her taste is really exquisite. On Fashion-O-Lic I found pictures of Heidi together with amazing jewelry. She looks miraculous while posing to the magazine. I just adore this black necklace and also it is a perfect alternative if your man is not a sheikh at all. View more photos with Heidi.

The following ring is only for extremely rich men and their women. Hopefully, I have never seen the window-case, where stands this Mr. Big. I am not a criminal but this ring can work wonders and evils. It shines like a sun and looks like a present from fortune. Of course, I can tell you, that I don’t want one, but deep in my soul I know that I want it so much… pay attention – white gold and ceramic ring by Bulgari. By the way, the photo of Mr. Big.

And the last thing I would like to mention and may be you would like to have. Bright stones and big stones in jewelry. They are exuberant, bold and will make your ears in the center of attention. The following jewelry is so glamorous. Why not – Swarovski crystals dangling from your ears! Oh, I love it! By the way, it is one of the hottest trends of the Fall 2007.

G-Hotel and Philip Treacy.pgPhilip Treacy is a famous in all over the world hat designer. This outstanding man was born on the 26th of May, 1967 in Ireland (Ahascragh, County Galway) in a large friendly family – parents, seven brothers and a sister. In his childhood he was fond of watching the weddings, as there was not much to do at this small village. Now his permanent place of living is London. Philip started sewing when he was only 5-years-old and that was what he liked doing. His first hats and dresses were made for sister’s dolls and other toys. Materials were various, Philip’s mother had ducks, chickens and other poultry, so the boy used everything: fabric, feathers. Once their neighbor asked: Is it strange for a boy to sew dresses for dolls? And Philip’s father answered, yeah, but if only this can make our boy happy!

In 1985 Treacy went to Dublin and studied there at the National l College of Art and Design, and namely there he started making his famous hats, but, of course, they were just a successful addition to clothes. In 1988 Philip got a place at the Royal College of Art. He was a lucky dog, they don’t have a hat course, so they made experiments on Philip and they both the College and Philip succeeded.

In 1989 he met his future muse – Isabella Blow, she was getting married and chose a medieval theme for her wedding and she didn’t have an appropriate wedding hat. Philip was stunned – Issie was the first person to whom pearls and veiling was completely unnecessary while making a wedding hat.

Then came years of hard-working and world’s recognition. He worked together and for the following people Alexander McQueen’s, Karl Lagerfeld (at Chanel). Not so far ago he was granted with the title of British Accessory Designer of the Year. In 2005 he happened to produce hats for the royal wedding of the Prince of Wales to the Duchess of Cornwall. In 2006 was start a new collection for Umbro. This collection is excepted to be exciting and surprising, yet very unusual and collaborative. Also as the Independent reported in Britain he was announced to be in the 100 most influential gays in Great Britain.
