While most of us certainly don’t have the cash to invest in the exact same pieces, there are ways to mimic the overall fashion without breaking the bank. In this article, we will discuss how to focus on timeless, yet reasonably priced diamond and pearl pieces, and how to accessorize them on the whole.

     What qualities do you look for or consider when buying a pair of shoes? For me, it's always comfort because I have a very, when I say very it's very, very, sensitive feet.

Mother's Day Gift Suggestions from AVON

Thursday, May 11, 2017

     I always hear this question- "How to be a mom?" from friends and relatives who are still single and those who are in a relationship. There's no manual or book that teaches how to be a mom and every mother is unique. Being a mom is honed through experience. Everyone looks up to moms simply because moms can do almost anything. They are always there to save the day. They know how to run things around the house even if they have their own personal concerns to handle. 

     We sometimes disagree with our Moms, but we know they will always be on our side when it matters. Mom may have many roles to play but they also make great fashion icons- managing to look their best regardless of occasion or situation. This mother's day, Avon Fashions compiled simple gift suggestions that will make mothers feel they're the superheroes in our lives. See what's in the list below :)

Gold Jewelry: Sound Investment and Timeless Fashion Statement

Wednesday, April 12, 2017

     What are your prized possessions? These days, as gadget companies try to integrate technology into the lifestyle of consumers more seamlessly, wearable gadgets are all the rage. Think of smartwatches, high-tech rings and other wares merge the conveniences of modern technology and the appeal of fashion accessories. Did you know that ages ago before wearable tech became a thing, the concept of multi-purpose wearables has been around for some time now in the form of jewelry?

     Contrary to what others may think, jewelry is not only a show of status symbol in the society and infusing a look with a different level of flair. A piece of jewelry definitely gives every outfit a touch of luxury. Imagine those huggie earrings, a gold watch or, a gem-encrusted ring that can certainly give that "shine bright like diamonds" effect to the wearer. In addition, gold jewelry seems to be always on the radar of fashion influencers--just in different interpretations. But beyond aesthetics and creative expression, jewelry is actually a practical commodity and I agree with that 100%. Want to know why? Read more below :)
