Not too long ago, I came across an interesting site where women sold off their jewelry and gifts given by their ex boyfriends and husbands. I got curious and went through the items for sale and was surprised that most of the things sold on their site were mostly gold jewelry such as engagement rings, diamond rings, gold bracelets..etc.

While some prefer to get rid of those jewelry that bring back bad memories, others are into selling scrap gold jewelry they no longer wear or want. Whatever reasons you have, you can recycle your gold for cash by simply requesting a “Get Gold Cash Recycle Pak” online. Once you dug out all your old or unwanted gold jewelry, you should do your research and find out the market rates for gold prices and if possible, find out how much your gold is worth. Once that is done, you can then decide what you want to do with those glittering treasures of yours.

There is a new growing trend among the new age executives and yuppies in the fashion world. Body accessorizing is becoming popular with more fashion conscious individuals making a statement with a nose ring, a belly ring and even cartilage ear piercing!

For me, body piercing or body jewelry is common since I used to teach in a design school with the most funky and fashionable teens. When done tastefully, a belly button ring or a nose ring can be an identity enhancement but when it’s gone overboard, it can turn people off. Just like our fashion tastes, everyone is entitled to be who you want to be as long as you are comfortable about it.

It was hard to stop myself from visiting the All Dressed Up store last weekend since it was having a storewide discount of 30%. Not so long ago, I spotted a coral peach top that flattered my autumn-spring skintone. I didn’t buy it since I wasn’t sure if I was going to pay around $300 for a blouse, especially after doing my monthly budget with our new budgeting software. But since it was on sale in the store, I couldn’t resist trying it again.

Guess what? Instead of the coral peach top, I walked out of the shop with a muted gold wax linen skirt. I fell in love with the colour… it was just the right shade of gold and made a versatile piece of any occasion - dress it up or down - it’s all up to me

Fashion and style can be quite a personal thing. Ever tried shopping with a friend to realize that your taste and opinions don’t match? In other words, not every good friend is a good shopping companion cos tastes differ!

I tend to shop alone except on certain occasions. Getting the opinion of a friend is helpful at times but sometimes, I much prefer to make my own decisions and take my time to do my shopping picks. Jewelry, shoes or bags, I like a unique touch to the designs and sometimes my friends can find my taste a little too artistic and liberated. These days, medical id tags have been worn as jewelry so it will be interesting if jewelry designers can catch on the trend and apply their creativity onto the design of these medical tags. And who knows, perhaps a medical tag can as attractive and creative like this paisley necklace, combined with lovely tiny faceted peridot rondelles. Simple and stylish, it can be a good balance between form and function.

It seems to me that surfing with a laptop computer in Starbucks or a local cafe has become a lifestyle than a necessity. Somehow, having wi fi in cafes is almost a must if you want to compete or attract the new generation of teenagers, yuppies and even coffee drinkers. While being seen with a laptop computer is a cool thing, carrying a sleek and chic laptop case becomes a fashion statement too. I was in the computer mall a fortnight ago and the Golla laptop bags and cases stood out to me. To satisfy my curiosity, I check out the website and whoa, there are even more selections! This finnish label seems to be the favourite among the trendy, stylish individuals who like to be seen with a laptop on the streets.

Every one should be free to define, to create and improvise. Be comfortable, be happy in whatever you choose and be Yourself - that’s what matters
