Let the Games Begin

The opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics are this Friday! For the next two weeks, people around the world will be glued to their TVs, smart phones and the Internet to see who won each event. The Olympics are not only a time for the world’s top athletes to strut their stuff but also to show off the latest trends. If you are unable to make it to Vancouver, you can still be apart of the Olympic-inspired fashion.

Ralph Lauren is the proud outfitter of the 2010 U.S. Olympic team. The preppy collection features the “Make Your Own” collection.  Select pieces can be personalized with your name or a flag. Trust me; you will want to get in on these beautiful items. www.ralphlauren.com

If you are looking for something warmer and more affordable, then visit Hudson Bay Company and purchase the Torchbearer Adult’s Red Mittens. These mittens will be worn not only by the torchbearers, but the Canadian athletes as well. And in case you have not heard, the groundhog saw its shadow…again and half the country is bracing for possibly the worst snow storm on record. It might be the right time to purchase a nice pair of mittens.

Hearts and Minds

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The cards, the flowers, the chocolates, ahem, the jewelry. A day to see how well your man has paid attention to the “subtle” hints you’ve been dropping for the past several weeks. And gentleman, there are two things to make her smile on Valentine’s Day: your heart and jewelry.

Jewelry by Veronique has cleverly created a way to combine both the heart and the jewelry. Adding to her existing line of precious charms and chunky lockets, the latest Veronique pieces include delightful earrings comprised of mesmerizing, crystal hearts. These stunning earrings with opals and amethysts will have even the biggest Valentine’s Day cynic swooning.

No matter the woman, present her with one of these sparkling pieces and you will have her eating out of the palm of your hand… and potentially out of attending a few family functions. Ah, Valentine’s Day, a win win for everyone.

You Can Stand Under My Umbrella

Spring is on its way (thank goodness). Florals and pastels will soon begin their transition from the runway to the city streets. This season brings out the best in everyone and everything. Cherry blossoms, tulips and the rest of Mother Nature begin to bloom. Women, no matter what the age, look smashing in their new wardrobe. Now, what is the one thing that can put a damper in gal’s day? Yes, a torrential downpour and yes, that pun was intended a sentence ago. No worries though. As we enter this new decade, women are more independent than ever and will certainly not play the role of damsel in distress. A modern day fashionista is always prepared, and will not sacrifice looking marvelous for little bit of rain.

Bella Umbrella designs the positively most wonderful umbrellas! From solids to stripes, these little treasures will not only keep your outfit protected, but also add that last perfect touch to the ensemble. Made from soft and supple waterproof polyester Pongee fabric, these umbrellas are sure to attract praise from every angle. As long as a girl has one of these in hand, a little rain on her parade will not stop her from being classy and fabulous.
