FashionBuzz: BeyBey Covers Essence

Who: Beyonce
What: July 2011 Essence Mag


She's the girl who has notoriously been known as a perfectionist and a work-a-holic. Beyonce pens her very first cover story, " Eat, Play, Love", in the July issue of Essence Magazine. After a much needed nine month break Mrs. Carter  found new inspiration in life's simple pleasures. Check out this little snippet from the article.

"I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband... Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile..." --Beyonce, ESSENCE

I loved the Real House Husbands of Hollywood skit, and Cee Lo's rendition of Somebody Love's You Baby. Kelly Rowland worked her performance of #Motivation, she sang beautifully.  But check out these pics I grabbed from essence.com of what was going on in and around the awards.

FashionBuzz: Versace "Iconic Collection" for H&M

Who: H&M
What: Announces Versace as the next designer collaboration
Wear: "Iconic Collection" featuring, men's, women's, and home wear.
Rating: Versace archived pieces re-purposed. Versace cheap but definitely not H&M cheap!!!

pictures courtesy of H&M

To close out her Milan Men's Fashionweek show, MissDt-V, took her bow in a studded leather dress new from the Versace collabo line with H&M. Just recently announced the two brands will rollout the first line on November 17, and will release a second pre-spring collection January 19. Exclusive to 300 doors in select countries and sold online.

"The collection will be quintessential Versace, perfect for H&M and Versace fans everywhere, " said the designer. Back in 2008 she had somewhat of a different opinion about doing a line with the affordable retailer. Saying she respects designers who do it, but stated,  "I work very hard to put Versace in the luxury  section. She continues, " I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand." Nonetheless we now know they have reached some agreeable terms, hence dubbing this line the "Iconic Collection". Which goes great with whatever deal she struck, presumably, to have CFDA's Fall 2011 fashion icon, Lady Gaga, wear only Versace for the next few months.

So lovelies what can we learn from this?!
1. Set a standard for yourself,  your brand, and your business.
2. Protect your brand; make sure you don't allow anyone to confuse it. Every new opportunity should reflect your aesthetic.

Totally Obsessed

The best part is that you figure out fun ways to do your hair, it's just easier to take of! Best part? If you can work the curling iron and get a bunch of curls, it's completely adorable. It definitely becomes a deciding factor on how you style your outfits.

What are your thoughts on girls with short hair?

As for my next hair cut? I'm definitely going to go for a Shannyn Sossamon look.

Indian Bridal Kundan Jewellery

Indian bridal jewelry varies from region to region as well as different communities. Precious stones such as jade, garnet, emerald, amethyst, pearl and coral are widely used in Indian bridal jewelry. Stones are said to pass their own special healing touch to the wearer. The precious stones are said to have an effect on one's blood vessels and temperament. Use of navarathnas or nine precious stones can be seen in finger rings and earrings.

The mangal sutra is an important item in the bridal jewelry. This necklace is tied by the husband around the wife's neck as a symbol of their union. This is usually created on a necklace strung with black beads. It is considered a protection against the evil eye. Many a bride makes a few changes to suit her tastes, keeping well within the prescribed parameters.

The conventional gold pendant is often replaced with a diamond. The length of the mangalsutra is one of personal preference. Black beads are sometimes interspersed with gold beads. South Indian brides wear silk saris that are offset by exquisite jewelry in gold. Bridal jewelry encrusted with rubies, emeralds or pearls is popular. The south Indian women wear a thaali as a symbol of their marriage. This is usually in the form of a thick yellow thread with gold pendant.

Brides from Maharashtra wear stings of pearls in a cascade from the temples down to the shoulders, framing the face. The Punjabi bride wears bangles that are made of ivory. The parting of her hair is decorated with a gold ornament called the tikka. Red and green bangles or churas are important in many communities of India. They are given by the bride's mother and it is customary to wear them for about 40 days after the wedding ceremony.

Some churas are set in ivory with inlay work done on them. Toe-rings are another jewelry item that is worn by married women in many parts of the country. The women from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar wear toe-rings called bichwa. Kashmiri women wear a long suspended cord with an ornament from the pierced ears. Brides from Bengal wear the iron kada or bangle called 'loha'. This is artistically encased in gold. A red lac bangle is yet another important bridal jewelry item.

Indian brides wear jewelry sets that are made in gold, be it necklaces, bangles, anklets and earrings. Many a time, the bridal jewelry is set with diamonds and other precious stones. The modern day bride prefers to have some modern wearable items of gold jewelry in her trousseau. Not many would like to be weighed down by heavy jewelry that cannot be worn often and will be more an invitation for thieves. Come the wedding season and you can see crowds thronging the jewelry stores. Indian bridal jewelry has always been considered her 'streedhan' - personal wealth that would stand in good stead in times of need.
Fine filigree jewelry in silver is a hallmark of the artisans of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. Filigree work uses silver wires of varying thickness to make geometrical shapes, leaves, flowers and butterflies and birds. Jaipur is famous for enamel work - exquisite bangles and necklaces with colored enamel paneling on crafted gold.

Kundan jewelry also finds favor with many Indian brides.Kundan jewelry is characterized by gems embedded in gold leaf and not rim or claw. This jewelry style is inspired by the Mughals. Temple jewelry from South India is inspired by temple statues and motifs and is usually characterized by red and green semi precious stones. Jewelry in the southern states is inspired by nature - paisley motifs, rice grains, melon seeds, cobra head and birds.

The gentle tinkle of the anklets around delicate feet, a set of jingling bangles on her hands and an exquisitely crafted necklace round her neck - the Indian bride looks resplendent in her finery and colorful profusion. Some bridal ornaments such as waistbands and armlets are rarely worn these days.

South and North India have their own unique style of ornaments. Kundan is the signature work of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Orissa and Andhra Pradesh are known for their fine filigree work. Jaipur is famous for the art of enameling or meenakari.
