Larimar Stones, the true beauty of the Nature

Happy New Year 2013 everyone! Starting a year with the beautiful heart and loving spirit, I believe that this year will be the best year ever for all of us. My mission this year is to always have a joy in my heart and dedicate my best to everything I do. And the rest will surely follow.

I am the one who always passionate about the natural stones, as you can feel their power and meaningful energy lies underneath.

Have you ever heard of the “Larimar Stones”?  They may look similar to Turquiose but Larimar is bluer and lighter.

Larimar Stones

Larimar could be found on the Earth’s crust in the true tubular chimneys.  Back then, they were found and mined straight down in the volcano by the Dominican miners. Larimar could be graded by its coloration starting from white to intense blue. The whiter ones were considered to be in the lower quality and quoted in the lower prices. But the bluish color like volcanic blue is more costly as it comes in higher quality. Some pieces may come in the greenish colors.

Coloration is one of the factors to its prices. The stone cutting is also another factor as there is a tremendous loss of material. The precisely cut bead or a perfectly shaped cabochon is more costly than a freeform one.

Larimar stone has its beautiful meaning as some believe that it has the amazing healing power from the source of the Caribbean Sea, where Atlantis is located. The stones could also soothe the emotions and rebuild the calmness especially for the women who wear them.

These Larimar stones would look perfectly together with the silver chains, pearls or red corals. You could simply match them with the maxi dress or your formal outfit to work or even your Bohemian look.

So my recommendation to choose the Larimar stones is simple like all the jewelry. Every piece you purchase or wear should be one you truly love, regardless of how others rate or grade it.  Ultimately it is you who puts value in stones.  So, Keep in mind to look for something unique and make you look beautiful and confident.

Happy holidays,

Gisele Bündchen: The Legend of Victoria’s Secret Models

Even though she has left the Victoria’s Secret, but she has landed on the top of 100th highest paid models with the $45 millions from the contract with Versace, Esprit and Pantene. She was also ranked by the Forbes magazine to be #61 from 2012 most powerful celebrities list and being on uncountable magazine covers and also the prestige brand like Versace, Dolce and Gabbana. And Bündchen is expecting a second child with her husband, Tom Brady very soon.

I would like to write this post as the memory of how gorgeous she was when she rocked on the runway of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. This could all be the proof that she’s definitely the legend of the Victoria’s Secret angels and the hottest fashion icons.

Victoria’s Secret Models 2012-2013

Victoria’s Secret had always successfully rock the model businesses. I really like how they work on their models to be the hottest icons on the runway that the whole world must keep an eye on. And their angels have been captured by the men’s magazine and we’ll see which angels were widely talked about.

Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima the lovely angles at the age of 31 this year. She has been ranked in the Forbes magazine as one of the 100th most powerful celebrity in the word (which I totally agree with them). And this photo is taken at the DKNY fall/winter collection she has participated.

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen the angels who stands out as the highest paid models of the world. She has never stopped her charm even at the age of 32 this year and has spent over 10 years with Victoria’s Secret.  She had done the good job spreading the Brazillian charms all over the world.

Candice Swanepoel

Candice Swanepoel Super sweet South African heart angel. She is really pretty just like a real doll. Born on 1988, she has been selected to be at the number 10th on the highest earn- models by Forbes magazine. She’s really deserved it. Candice has been known widely from the Victoria’s secret work while expressing her sophisticated look a lot on the different advertisements.

Anais Mali

Anais Mali

Anais Mali the 21 year old French super model. I really like her pretty face and her perfect brown skin.  She has really proved to the world that skinny body could also come up with the perfect curves. She has started modeling on 2009 in New York and continuing her work with plenty of the brands like Marc Jacobs, Derek Lem. Mali was chosen to rock on the Victoria’s secret fashion show last year and she did the marvelous jobs.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – the English transformer angel. How could I not talk about her! Most of us would recognize her from the 3rd Transformers movie, Dark of the moon. She has started her career with VS since 2006. And her new movie called Mad Max, Fury road will be launched in 2013.

So these hottest supermodels are ones of my favorite Victoria’s secret angels of all times. So which angels you adore, show me some love here in my facebook page.

And be prepared for the black Friday sale gals!!

Pin-up is not just a style but a “Culture”. [Pin-Up hair and makeup]

Pin upUAM26VH72FFU  Hello all my fashionistas!

Pin Up Everyone!  What is Pin-up? Does it sound a little bit familiar to you? :-D

Pin-up is a “Culture” not just a “style”.  The popular culture! It’s not only about the vintage girl’s fashion. It had covered all forms of arts e.g. paintings, drawings, illustrations etc. It’s just a big thing back then.

Let’s rewind the history a little bit. Back in the 1944, there was one movie called “Pin Up Girl”, starred by “Betty Grable”. We might not be very familiar with these words as it’s been before us for such very long time. We could say it’s in the period of my parents. But Fashion is like the circle. It keeps coming back again and again.

Pin-up girls at that time were superstars. They were models and also the actresses. We would use the word “Sexy” to when we think of the pin-up girls back then. Betty Grable is the queen back then during the period of world war II. I fell in love with this because of the classy, elegant, and allured expressions of it. It’s just very classic.

So now it seems like it’s coming back again! If you would notice, one of the famous celebrities always comes up with the pin up look. And that we could easily say the famous “Katy Perry”. :shock:

Christina Aguilera was also super stunning with her Pin up girl look back then many years ago during her Candyman video. She really looked really gorgeous with the red lipsticks on.

And this is the video tutorial on how to do the 1940’s inspired “Suicide roll” pin up hair by my favorite youtube channel Karmin.

Amy is the very lovely and talented singer. She and her fiancé has posted lots of the covered songs on their own renditions. And I’m a big fan of her! You gotta watch her. They are super awesome and star quality!

This is also another video tutorial for some of you who’d like to try wearing the pin up make up. It’s very easy and you should give it a try and feel yourself travelling back in time!

So I hope you enjoy all of it and if you do try the look, feel free to share some pics to me and some friends over here. I would be super glad….

I wish you a super hot day with the red lipstick on!
