Jolidon fashion’s Reversible Push Up Swimsuit is shown here. There’s no need to mix and match with this bikini because it can be worn two ways. The bright blue top and the multicolor printed bottoms provide many options of color in your beach accessories. We chose the cool ocean blue theme to give a complete relaxation feel to your day.

Borne by Elise Berger / Schwan Dress

That's so New YorkDespite the fact that patriotism has never been my thing, I won’t deny the fact that I do have a growing respect for the British fashion industry. Admittedly, this growing respect is somewhat of a new thought of mine and yes, you may have guessed that the reason behind this growing respect is Young British Designers – an online boutique which retails collections from both emerging and established British designer talents.


Who’d have thought, a store dedicate to Britain and Br

Brian Lichtenberg / Geo Print Shift Dress

That's So New YorkDespite the fact that Brian Lichtenberg has released a total of fifteen brand new garments onto the Alex and Chloe store, regrettably I have to admit that there are just two which have grabbed my attention for the right reasons; primarily due to the fact that they are not text-based graphic t-shirts, as this seems to be something which Lichtenberg has taken an admirable interest for this season in-particular. I’m finding it a little odd that I’m a “guy” (of sorts) yet have t

Cheap Monday; 'Cheap Date' (Re-Blogged)

That's So New YorkI have Susie Bubble (Susanna Lau) of Style Bubble to thank for this post, primarily due to the fact that the majority of you may recall Susie sharing a post titled Cheap Date earlier this week; that of which presented an interview which Susie held with Cheap Monday's Creative Director, Ann Sofie-Back and Orjan Andersson, where she questioned the aesthetic behind their Spring/Summer 2012 show/collection (don't worry, I haven't completely forgotten Fall/Winter 2011; rest assur

That's So New York - Despite the fact that I'm constantly receiving press releases and emails from press representatives which suggest a potential post, regrettably I have to admit that it is seemingly once in a blue moon that I actually post about the said designer, product or photographer; simply because I seem to enjoy that thrill of being able to scream "look what I have just found!" in addition to "look what someone has just handed to me on a silver platter!" - yes, I have to say that it se

In my bio, I explain that I was once a template designer. Well i've been think'n, and I decided that instead of letting all those hours, of staring at line after line of different versions of markup languages, go to waste, I would just create beautiful templates for you guys and let you give others blog envy! lol So here are some I was working on over the weekend:




I will continue to add new templates as I finish them. I am curr

In my fashion jewelry store, I offer two different types of karat platings. 14k GP & 18k GP. But what is the difference between the two...what does "gold karat" even mean?

Lets begin with what the 'karats' in gold karats actually mean. Essentially, a 'karat' is the measurement for the fineness of gold, with pure gold being 24 karats. The difference between 14k GP and 18k GP, is that one has a higher level of gold fineness than the other. So what is GP(gold plating)? Well, this is when a base me

That's So New YorkI've recently come across a number of posts and articles via various blogs in regards to the importance of local connections and creating a relationship with businesses and bloggers in your local area; I will admit that before now I have tended not to pay too much attention to designers, bloggers and business in my local area, simply because I have just a handful of stores which I personally admire in my grasp due to my location and the thought of doing anything but simply p

Christian Peau

That's So New YorkIn addition to my growing obsession with various vintage-type styles, such as the classic military look (which is for another post entirely) followed by my recent admiralty for Buffalo Sweaters, accompanied by one of my oldest favorable trends which leans towards pretty much anything pleated, I have recently began geek-ing out on my laptop for hours on end as I flick through and research pretty much anything related to Japanese fashion. Previously, I thought that Japanese fa

Feathers and there meaning

IMG_2110-300x300.jpgSymbol meaning of feathers deal with ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane. Feathers were worn by Native American Chiefs to symbolize their communication with Spirit, and to express their celestial wisdom. Also in the Native American Indian culture, feathers represented the power of the thunder gods, along with the power of air and wind.

Native American Pueblo Indians would pay homage to the Feathered Sun which is a symbol of the cosmos and the center of existence. Another symbol me

AGATEPeacock-300x300.jpg

The agate is one of the oldest stones in recorded history.

Agates attract strength. Agate is a protection from bad dreams. It also protects from stress and energy drains. Agates have been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times. They were used to ward off storms. They were prized gems in antiquity. The agates with banded colors were placed at the head of a sleeper to give rich and varied dreams. Agates have been thought to be good to harden the gums.
