Oversized Rings

| Some of my "bold" rings |
The rings have gotten really big and bold. At first I thought they were a bit 'too' large for me to wear but once I started using I fell in love with them!

Modern Sherlock
 |
| Classic suit with a modern twist: narrow-leg trousers and a two-button, slim-cut jacket |
Sherlock
Holmes has long had a connection with fashion as one of literature’s
first detectives, his name is synonymous of deerstalker hats,
pipes, magnifying glasses, and trenchcoats. In this BBC version,
Sherlock has traded in his deerstalker cap for more elegant attire
like scarves and peacoats. His dark-coloured clothing perfectly
complements its gray London backdrop and adds to the mysterious,
eerie tone of the show. To get this look, wear a long coat over a
dark sweater and plaid pants (a nod to the deerstalker cap). Add a
gray scarf, heeled oxfords, and a magnifying glass necklace for
playful quirkiness.

How to wear Ankle Boots
Ankle boots are a boot style that sits at or slightly above the ankle.
Because the heights and styles of these boots vary, there is a right and
wrong way to wear them. Unlike taller boots or cowboy boots, you can
wear ankle boots with dresses, skirts, pants, tights and shorts. But you
need to pair them with the right lengths and colors when choosing your
outfit.
Ankle
boots with cropped leggings or shorter tights is a definite "don't"
for women who have shapely calves. Even women who are on the thin
side have to be careful as the combination seems to chop inches off
your height while adding bulk to your legs.
The
only pants that work well tucked into ankle boots are very tight
ones. Wide-legged pants tucked into short boots create a very
unflattering balloon effect.
Clothes to Avoid Wearing with Ankle Boots
- Cropped Pants
- Cropped Tights
- Mid-Length Skirts with Bare Legs
- Pencil Skirts
- Capris
How
to wear Ankle Boots

Love Plastic
I am completely in love with Brazilian shoe brand Melissa. I've had several models.
Melissa is a range of plastic footwear, very popular in Brazil, produced by Grendene. It was launched in 1979 and the first model was named Aranha (Spider), taking as inspiration the sandals worn by the fishermen of the French Riviera.
For a long time Melissa has been successful amongst adults and, from 1986, has also become successful amongst children with the launch of the "Melissinha" (little Melissa).
After a period of stagnation in 1994 Melissa sandals were revived. From 1994 to 1998, sought to reposition the brand in the market and at the beginning of the year 2000, the brand was growing again, becoming again quite prominent in the fashion world.
Several famous designers and fashion designers were invited to create / customize models for Melissa, among them the Brazilian artist Romero Britto, Brazilian designer Alexandre Hechcovitch and the brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana.
The plastic design has been attracting the attention of renowned designers and brands worldwide. Melissa is now reference and the biggest world fashion names launched products in plastic, which reinforces the pioneering spirit of the brand as a trendsetter in fashion and its positioning as a leader in plastic shoes.
In recent years, Melissa has partnered with Egyptian designer Karim Rashid, and British stylists J. Maskrey and Judy Blame. In 2008, two extraordinary women joined the list: British designer Vivienne Westwood and Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid.
For more than three years, Melissa has been part of major European, Asian and American trade fairs and celebrates the excellent repercussion with every new collection. The highlights are participating in Tranoi (Paris), White (Milan), Bread and Butter (Barcelona), Project (Las Vegas), Pure (London) and Who's Next (New York).
Today, Melissa uses Melflexin in its manufacture. This material is flexible, heat moldable, as well as resistant. Melflexin offers much more comfort and softness to the touch. It's also worth mentioning, Melissa's heritage: the distinctive "smell". It is the only shoe company in the world that applies aroma to its products.
All products are developed according to the highest standards of sustainable design. Therefore, the creation of a Melissa model takes into account low-energy manufacturing, a longer life cycle and the reusability and ease of disassembly and recycling.
In 2008 the Sustainability Project was started, a partnership with + Light and the Campana Brothers, with campaigns taking place in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro calling people's attention to the issue of sustainability. The campaign also included the launch of Melissa Campana Corallo, made of 30% recycled PVC. Part of the sales was donated to the NGO World Vision, which run programs to address poverty and social exclusion.
