So you have that collection of buttons that you don’t need and don’t know what to do with them, well here is a fun and easy way to turn buttons into fashion!

 

The Statement Ring

Materials: Buttons, Clippers, Glue, Rings With Flat Tops (available at the jewelry supply store)

Use your clippers to remove the shank from the back of the button.

 

Once you’ve made the back of the button flat, use an ample amount of glue to secure the ring to the back of the button.

Here’s another hint: If you can’t find a flat ring base, Ring Pops are a fun alternative. After you’ve removed the candy and cleaned the ring base,  grab your Kylon spray and paint it.

 

Once the base has dried, glue on the button.

There you have it, a fun and fast way to turn ordinary buttons into fashion!

We were blown away by Mary Katrantzou’s Spring 2011 Collection. Her dresses make it appear as if you are wearing a mural! They really are like nothing we have ever seen before! The colors are vibrant and the various styles and fits are plentiful. Many of the digital print designs on the dresses look like the interiors of exquisite homes and hotels. You really have to see it for yourself to appreciate the uniqueness of Mary Katrontzou. All the dresses are printed with images of lavish hotel and stateroom interiors—and embellished with interior-decorator braid, tassels, and fringe trimmings. She’d digitalized photos from vintage copies of Architectural Digest and The World of Interiors while enhancing the color and taking advantage of the intricacies of home furnishings. Her dresses in the Spring 2011 collection are a bit pricey ($900+) but they are certainly beautiful to look at!

Due to the popularity of the award-winning film, “Black Swan,” ballerinas have been showing up everywhere! The sexy ballerina is on the runaway and on the high street in stores such as Top Shop and ASOS. Ballet pumps and hair buns are making a huge comeback! The innocent ballerina is out, and the sexy, upgraded dancer is in! Trade in your pink leotard for black lace or leather. Designers such as Chloe, Marchesa and Richard Nicholl have embraced the new ballerina style in their 2011 collections. The long flowing skirts made from the sheerest of chiffons and the tight pink leotards which hug our figures beautifully without clutching any of the wrong areas definitely make the cut. But since the release of “Black Swan” the ballerina trend has taken a new turn and now exudes a sexy, raw, and stylish energy. Ballerinas are here to stay!

Athletes aren’t known for being fashion icons. However, now’s the chance to break this stereotype! PinksandGreens.com is designing fabulous golf apparel to be the star on the course both athletically and fashionably! Golf is known for being boring and quiet. Now’s the chance to make all sports even more attractive and !  The “golf dress”  is making a come back! Sports are bringing back the flair and kicking out the blah! Athletes can be feminine and still kick butt on the field, court, or green! Now’s our chance to show off our talent and fashion!

The whole world has been ranting and raving over the royal engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Replicas of Middleton’s engagement ring have been sweeping the globe! A dress she wore in November to match her gigantic and gorgeous sapphire engagement ring has sold out in stores all over the world. “Waity Katie” has become a fashion icon for women all over the world. It seems as if anything she wears becomes the next “It Outfit.” The gown she chooses to wear at her April wedding will surely be replicated by designers and in high demand in all countries! Her refined yet classy look is how young girls aspire to dress. The big gowns and tiaras are clearly out of style! We look forward to more of Kate Middleton’s clothes and accessories in the future!

The new  TV show “The Beautiful Life” by Ashton Kutcher did not survive for long, after just 2 episodes the show was cancelled. I think it was too early and too much of a rash decision to shut it down so quickly, without giving it much of a chance to pick up viewers.

This is what actress Sara Paxton has to say about it “The CW didn’t give our show a chance to succeed or fail. We had some amazing episodes coming up that we were all proud of… we’re sad that no one will ever even see those.”

Blue diamonds are super rare, most jewelers have never seen one and probably never will. Recently methods have been developed and it is now possible to produce sharply colored diamonds, even fancy blue. Not only have the blue diamonds been enhanced by faceting, but nearly all the diamonds you buy have! The blue diamond is worth much more than near-colorless diamonds, and the processing of the diamonds can prove to be very costly, so the only stones worth treating are the ones of high clarity.

Doesn’t this make you want one of your own?!

If you wanna look sophisticated, sexy and fashionable you should dress up in a one-shoulder dress when you are hitting the clubs in New York City. It is covering more skin then the strapless styles and leaves more to the imagination, it also draws attention to your face in a new way.You should complete the looks with bold eyes and intense red lips!
