Who would have guessed that this footwear created for the urban poor of Brazil would be the next hot fashion item? This flip-flop has indeed gone so far from the land of Samba. I am talking about the Havaianas, Brazil's hottest export aside from the gorgeous super models this Latin American nation has produced. Lately, these flip-flops have gone beyond the boundaries of the sand and found traipsing in the malls paired with other clothing other than the beachwear. These may have been just an urban footwear then, but now, it comes in various designs, may it be studded with swarovski crystals or embellished with golds and diamonds. Better grab one now and strut like a Brazilian!

Leather Belt Bags
The first thing that pops into my mind whenever I hear the word “belt bags” is that it is worn by wet market vendors in the Philippines. But now, belt bags are already a fashion accessories that most teens love. I guess they loved it because its 2-in-1. Two looks in one…bag slides off so belt can be worn alone. Made with a leather material, you can be assured that this belt bag won’t tear off easily. Its design is so fashionable with bright colors that one can choose from. But the gold one is the most neutral color for me.
Heart Necklace
I am fond of necklace. I saw this heart necklace while browsing the internet last week. What I love about this necklace is that it is made of rhinestone. They’re just imitations of diamond but the manufacture has really captured the glistening effect that real diamonds have in the sun. All the way round of the necklace are rhinestone hearts which are connected with a single rhinestone band.
Cuff Bangle

Bangles are now among the top jewelry trends nowadays. Traditional bangles used by ethnic groups have indeed inspired the makers of these improved cuff bangles, such as this Plumo brand Turkish gold cuff bangle called Eau de Nil. Aside from its silver and gold plating, it is made perfectly adorable by combining 25 individual bangles adorned with a number of pearls all over. So check this out!
Pearl Earrings
Classic as it may have always been but the classic pearl earrings has never been out of fashion. Girls have always loved the simple yet elegant beauty of these pearls. It looks great to be paired on formal gowns and corporate attires. And good thing, because buying original pearls is a good investment since these pearls could multiply in size as time passes by. Plus it never tarnishes that’s why it would last long for so many generations.
Women Handbags
Nowadays, you will see women using these immense bags. Hmmm. I wonder what is inside. Can you guess? I bet there are foldable umbrella, mobile phone, coin purse, wallet, hairbrush or comb, makeup kit (face powder, lipstick, and eyeliner), perfume or cologne spray, pack tissue, shades, ponytail or hair clips, and a lot more. Well, with this kind of bag I am sure you can store a lot more.
Golf Balls
It’s been 4 weeks now that hubby has been teaching me on how to play golf. I am doing pretty good and I think playing golf is very addicting. Every Wednesday and Saturday is our schedule to go to the golf club. Anyway, my friend told me about where to buy a cheap golf balls it’s golfballsandaccessories.com. This website sells a lot of golf accessories and it’s very affordable.
Tips in Styling Shoes
If you love to wear short pants and skirts particularly long, swingy, mid-calf style or mini skirts, pair them with wedge heeled-sandals. For fitting dresses and slinky knee length pencil cut skirts, skinny stilettos would look great. Chunky platforms that seem to look bulky are good with long flowing trousers or square pants. Ballet-style shoes or flats, definitely without socks, would complement cropped or rolled-up pants. If you plan to wear stiletto boots with slightly flair or boot leg pants, make sure that you can still see your toes when you look down and that the hem of the pants hit the boots’ instep. Ankle-strap heels would make your legs look longer if you are wearing straight cut, slim skirts. Ankle boots would be a good pair for boot cut pants of proper length showing only an inch of the heels. For a slimmer effect, use kitten heels with bias-cut skirts and dresses.
Golf Tournament
One from now, my hubby will be out of town because he is invited for gold tournament in California. I wish that I can go but I can’t because we have two children and it is not easy to travel with kids. Right now, I am shopping online for hubby’s stuff to bring and I will also buy golf bags for his tournament. I’m sure, this trip will be a lot of fun for him.
What Earrings and Necklace to Wear
Short necklaces would perfectly go along with blouses with deep, round necklines because they draw attention straight to the pendant. Long chain necklaces on the other hand would be best for collared shirts especially if not tucked inside the collar either hanging loose or wrapped once or twice. Thin drop earrings would be a great match with turtleneck blouses and for tops which are quite conservative, sparkling or shiny metal earrings would be glamorous. Meanwhile, for sexy tops particularly haltered blouses, it’s best not to wear necklace and wear extraordinarily large earrings instead.
Wearing Bling
To add accents to your outfit we may use some blings which have always make fashion news. We may use one or several depending on the occasion. Wearing several layers of chain necklaces exude a vintage mood. Chokers and pearls give that classic appeal while brooches add flair and femininity. Wear them now, add life to your usual simple and ordinary looks, and go with the trend.
