Juicy Couture: Hot or Not?

What comes to your mind when you think of Juicy Couture? do you think affordable high end shoes and bags? or is your mind flooded with celebs in THAT tracksuit? Here's a bit about the brand.

THE JUICY COUTURE STORY Founded in 1988, Pamela Skaist-Lev and Gela Nash-Taylor (wife of John Taylor the base guitarist for the rock band Duran Duran) met through a mutual friend in an LA boutique. It was in LA that the design duo behind the brand Juicy Couture was born. Both designers are known for their notable fashion sense and the Juicy Couture brand incorporates a mix of both there vibrate yet traditional personalities.
Having stocked the brand since 2006, Daniel Footwear loves the Juicy Couture brand. A step in the right direction to becoming a foot fashionista! This season’s line features many autumn winter 2010 trends, biker boots, shearling, studs, zips!!!

I love Juicy Couture! from the quilted shoes to the leather bags, in particular i'm loving the new fall/winter shoes!

Daniel Footwear are stocking the latest in Juicy Couture and ask this question -

Review: Chanel Classic Mini Flap Bag in Red

Back in July my friends and i decided to dig out all our unused and unworn clothes (yes some still had the tags on!) and and swap them with each other. Well word got around and we ended up having to hire out a hall and set up tables as there was so many clothes and people involved! we ended up taking money for our unloved clothes so it was less confusing.

 Never one to miss an opportunity i managed to find a Chanel Classic Mini Flap Bag in Red for £40! yes that's right just £40! the lady i bought it off had it in a  right state - dust all over it, the gold all dull and dusty. When i was talking to her she said her ex husband bought her some "tacky red bag" and she wouldn't take any less than £40 for it! i tried to explain that is was CHANEL! it came with all it's authenticity cards and I've had it checked out just to make sure.

I then spent all night cleaning it! I’m a big fan of Chanel anyway so to get a classic piece for such good value makes me love this bag even more!

It is the classic quilted design with the gold CC logo on. It has the trademark chain/leather strap which is long enough to wear across my body which I love as it gives a laid back feel to it.

This bag has fed my obsession for Chanel and now I’m on a mission to find more!

Here's Rachel Bilson with her Chanel Classic Mini Flap Bag in Red:

The Know-how Behind Building Engagement Rings

You must have come across someone in your friend’s circle of
family who has designed the engagement ring that he gave to
his wife himself. If you have not, then you should know that you
have other options apart from just choosing from the limited
collections of your local jewelry stores or online jewelers.
Engagement rings, apart from being bought, can also
be designed by you. Once you have decided upon the design
of the engagement ring that you wish to propose with, you
can easily commission the jeweler working with you to make
it. Still, despite it being available to you, you need to keep
some things in mind to be successful in your endeavor.
The following are those things.

1. 
   
   Finances:  
Whether you buy engagement rings or build them yourself, you will have to deal with the budgetary aspect of it all. Engagement rings are not cheap and building engagement rings is especially not for the financially weak. Hence, estimate your limitations and your capabilities before going for the option of building the engagement ring yourself.
2. 
   
   Comparison:  
There are many jewelry stores or online jewelers who offer the ‘build your own engagement ring’ option to clients. This means that you have more than one option to choose from. Hence, you should compare these various outlets and settle on one that is reliable and affordable at the same time.
3. 
   
   Design details:  
In order to be able to design an engagement ring yourself you need to be thorough with your beloved’s preferences in this regard. You should find out what she likes, what she does not like, whether she wants it to be practical or large, her favored colors, her preferred metal etc.
4. 
   
   Four C’s:  
When designing an engagement ring the four C’s are the four foundation stones of the building that you are making. The four C’s are the cut, the clarity, the color and the carat. These are the four basic things that will decide on how the ring will look, how much it will cost and whether it is feasible or not.
5. 
   
   Metal and stone selection:  
The choice of which metal and stone to choose will depend upon what your beloved likes. You should try to find out as much as you can about the various metals and stones cost, their properties, their colors, their looks etc.

Building the engagement ring that you plan to propose with is a certain
indication of how much you love your beloved because she will realize
 that you have put a lot of effort into the special moment for her.
After such a realization, how can anyone imagine anything less
than a breathless ‘yes’?
