All Charms | Lovelinks | Italian Charm Bracelets | Nomination | Tweetie Charms

Desperate housewives has been running many years and many women are addicted with the programme that shows the lives of individual women through the eyes of their dead neighbour.  They face all the struggles of any women today, financial crisis, relationships, crimes and the lives that continue behind closed doors. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Wisteria Lane anyone would love to live there as it looks perfect however as the show opens the door to its viewers we see this street is far from perfect.

Looking into the main characters:

Teri Hatcher plays Susan Mayer

The accident prone one in the series she always seems to end up getting herself in a mess, however she does bring a lot of laughter when her naïve side always likes to see the good in people. She is also a hopeless romantic and generally always has a man by her side.

Susan is care free in her ways and her fashion style is similar, unlike some of the other ladies in the show Susan does not have to look the best and she has a fairly casual style in the way she dresses.

Eva Longoria Parker plays Gabrielle Solis

Gabrielle who was brought up with not very much thankfully had her looks to get her places and landed a modelling career where she started to make her money.  Married to Carlos a successful businessman these two are not shy about spending their money or showing their wealth.  Gabby even though is very materialistic is very kind by nature and will not see her friends struggle she is a very loyal person too with all of her friends.

The most fashionable one out of all the desperate housewives she has a very stylish dress sense and often parades around in the latest jimmy choo shoes.  Her style for jewellery is of always the latest trend so surprised we have not seen her wearing a nomination charms bracelet yet.  We know her style would reflect her love for handbags, shoes and money within the charms collection!  Her earrings and necklaces are often kept simple with just a single diamond stone.  She really does capture style in every aspect of her fashion wardrobe.

Felicity Huffman plays Lynette Scavo

Lynette is your everyday working woman who will do everything for her family and kids.  She has four children and in this series we see her pregnant with her fifth.  Before having her children she was extremely successful in the business world and even though she often feels as though she is not as successful with her kids she is someone who never gives up.  We have seen her battle with cancer and overcome and Lynette unlike some of the other ladies in the show has had some of the toughest story lines but has portrayed them extremely well and with the support of her husband in the show Tom Scavo.

Lynette whilst at work she has a great business style, at home she does not appear to make the same effort and is often very casual in approach to clothes, hair and make up.  However at work she wears fantastic suits, her hair is great and she wears make-up she often looks like a completely different woman.

Marcia Cross plays Bree Van de Kamp

Often seen to the others on Wisteria Lane as the perfectionist, we as the viewer get to have a look behind the closed doors and see everything is not so perfect.  She is a successful business woman with her own business in catering; she is often the first point of call when there is an event on.  She does like everything to be in its place and what we would recognise this as OCD and she certainly likes everything to be clean.  There is another side to Bree though where she does offer great advice to her friends and even though she does have a perfect outward appearance when she is wrong with things we do see this softer Bree coming through.

Her fashion style is simple and nothing revealing at all.  Often wearing knee length skirts and matching jackets with a blouse or jumper, there does not appear to be any difference when she is off work to when she is at work with how she dresses she is always of a smart approach.  Her jewellery style she often wears pearls, a string of pearls around her neck and a simple pearl in each ear. The one great thing about pearls they look great and will never grow old so a perfect choice for Bree.

Gold jewellery has been around for years and over the past couple of years there has been a decline in the sales of gold jewellery, whereas there has been increase in sterling silver jewellery being sold.  Gold especially this year has become extremely expensive and although this is the case the sales for gold jewellery has once again started to pick up.

When looking at fashion trends and especially charm bracelets, brands such as Pandora and lovelinks jewellery are expanding their collections to bring the customer more gold/ silver and gold charms, part of their mix and match range.

They originally started of with a wide selection of sterling silver charms and over the last couple of years even though the silver charms have expanded it is the gold and silver charm that they offer that has really increased.

Gold has once again become a luxury to have and even though the recession has seen a lot of families struggle, women have been investing their money into a gold charm which they can treasure forever.

A lot of women may think they do not suit gold purely for the reason they have always worn silver and yes silver does compliment anyone, however the mix and match of silver and gold does not give too much of either and looks great on everyone.  Especially during the summer month’s gold is a lovely colour against the silver and really stands out.  What is great with these two brands they have both brought out other pieces of jewellery such as rings, necklaces and earrings to compliment the silver/gold look of the charm bracelet.

This is the best way to go about achieving the look for 2010 by simply introducing small pieces of silver /gold and then once you are happy with it you can introduce a bolder look of silver and gold.  Look at any magazine or jewellery brochure this is the new look and it is certainly going to be around for a while.

Becoming one of the UK’s favourite current rap stars Tinchy Stryder has done many collaborations in his short life of fame with people such as N-Dubz, Amelle Berrabah and Taio Cruz.  It was his collaboration with Taio Cruz “Take Me Back” that made us really notice him and since then he has been going from strength to strength.

He has currently got the attention from the likes of Jay-Z who has recently signed the young Tinchy to his record label Roc Nation. Now Jay-Z has brought him under his wing we know Tinchy will go very far over here and within the US.  Jay-Z the man behind Rihanna certainly knows what he is doing and is extremely good at what he does.

Tinchy Stryder is recognised by his dress sense the oversized tops, baggy jeans and his oversized sterling silver jewellery too.  His jewellery has brought a lot of attention to him, the sterling silver necklaces with 100’s of diamonds has recently been the attention of theft, where he has just had £10,000 worth stolen from him.  Even though it is a shame to hear of such things, this era of young male artists are showing their wealth in such expensive pieces of jewellery and therefore leaving themselves open to problem such as this.

In just a year this singer has gone from no-one to someone everyone knows and with Jay-Z and others now behind him we know this next year for him will be another successful year. He has since signing with Roc Nation met Beyonce, so maybe there is his next collaboration if Jay-Z allows

When looking to find something unique and stylish the opportunities really are endless when it comes to jewellery. Most women enjoy wearing jewellery it can dress up or dress down an outfit, it can bring attention to it, it can be toned down and blend in with whatever else is being worn.  Unlike hair jewellery can be taken off and put on as and when needed.

It really does not matter so much if pieces of items clash either, it still looks good.  Jewellery especially sterling silver jewellery looks great either on its own or teamed up with stones, murano glass or wood etc.

What is great about jewellery is the amount of things that can make jewellery take earrings for example they do not have to be sterling silver earrings , as the image shows copper can be used and watch pieces to create a very stylish set of earrings and certainly unique. However silver generally is ok with everyone to wear whilst copper may react.  Though experimenting and trying out silver with different metals you never know where it could lead.

The great thing about jewellery is everyone owns at least one item and everyone will always wear at least one item too in their life.  With jewellery really coming on the fashion market as accessories to fashion, the more outrageous and a unique a piece will be really keeping up-to-date.

Men and their football can it really be likened to Women and their jewellery?

Both areas appear to be pretty much recession proof, no matter what the personal situation is like for some men missing a football match is out of the equation.  Even through the world cup there are men giving up their jobs to make sure they get to go to South Africa and watch England play, just to be apart of the live atmosphere.  It seems there is no end to the lengths men will go, even if not going to South Africa this will not stop the football fans being the first to the bars to create their own live atmosphere together.

For women again this year Pandora jewellery is hitting record breaking sales.  These little charms range in price from £20 plus and looking at most bracelets it is the more expensive charms that are being sold and to think the average bracelet takes about 28-30 charms that is one piece of jewellery that amounts to a nice price.

There is something about the charm bracelets that is making women go mad and buy charms without considering the cost.  A lot of women have said it becomes very addictive and most women will not stop once their bracelet is full they want to continue to a second bracelet. So whilst men are spending more on seeing their favourite teams play women have now found their own jewellery to follow and spend on the charm bracelet!

Britain’s Got Talent this year has shown how fashion can really make a show especially with the amazing bollywood style dancers known as Threebee.  Their use of bright colours, dance moves and their gold and silver jewellery really did set the stage for a great performance. They not only used their own cultured songs but brought relevance with tunes of today to bring something new to Britain’s Got Talent.

The judges were overwhelmed by the overall impression that Threebee gave and they captivated the audiences and who knows we maybe seeing a lot more groups such as this coming through Britain’s Got Talent after this groups inspiration.

Threebee has been formed since 2004 by the leader Shweta Aggarwal who has been choreographing dance since the age of 15. She has made sure the dancers have a passion for what they are doing and this is expressed through their moves.

The outfits they wear are in rich in colours of blues, pinks, orange anything bright, whilst keeping it looking very stylish.  Jewellery plays a big part in the overall look, the gold and sterling silver jewellery is even worn on the outfit and enhances the moves being made by the dancer.  The girls often wear a lot of gold and sterling silver earrings as well and these are larger so they can be seen and make a noise themselves with the moves to the music. Every part of the outfit is extremely important, the detail in the dresses and down to the jewellery worn it is all apart of the dance and there to engage its audience.

Threebee are already lined up for a few shows so if you have not seen them yet make sure you don’t miss this sensational dance group.
