Well, it’s been a very long time since I last stopped and gave this site a face lift. I almost threw this site out but something told me to hang onto it and give it another shot and that’s just what I’m doing. I know this site doesn’t have a lot of readers at the moment, but I’m hoping to change that in the coming months. I would say weeks, but I’ve been doing this long enough to know that it’s going to take more than just a couple weeks to breathe life into this comatose sites.

My plans for the coming weeks/months is to find great deals on everything from , to beautiful jewelry, to anything else that makes a girl…or a guy…feel good and look great. Though it will be mostly about clothing, we cannot live by clothing alone. After all, what would an outfit be without the accessories??? LOL

So come along and lets see what we can find out there that will make us all look our best and feel like a million bucks.

I’m a sucker for dark colored jewels—especially sapphires(lol). So whenever I hear that someone’s holding a jewelry giveaway, I just have to run over and see what’s going on.

But most importantly, Miss Noel creates all her pieces from recycled and vintage pieces. I’m all for upcycling and reusing. And to create something gorgeous from it??? Yeah baby, icing on the cake.

Well, ok. Maybe they’re not worth thousands of dollars, but anything that is deemed “vintage” is becoming quite stylish and worth some money. Because of sites like Ebay, everything old is cool again. And, because of these sites, adding the word “vintage” means you can get more money from all those clothes you hated as a kid. (more…)

Women have spent thousands of years trying to be as beautiful as possible.  Sometimes, they’ll even go to the extreme of causing themselves pain in order to appear beautiful.  In today’s society, we women wear shoes that hurt our feet, but make us look gorgeous.  But, ours is not the only society to have done this.

Since the 7th century AD, Chinese women practiced the art of foot binding.  In essence, they wrapped their feet in such a way as to make them as small as possible.  There are many legends as to why this was done, including the idea that men found them to be erogenous.  Experts believe the real reason was so men could better control their wives.  It wasn’t until the early 20th century that this practice was outlawed.

Throughout the ages, clothing was not only a way to cover the body, it was a way to discern the different aspects of society and the differences in gender. The women of ancient Egypt wore long linen gowns while the men wore short linen kilts. This applied to almost every culture around the world for thousands of years. (more…)

Most people think of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and think of togas as their choice of style. Though this is true, not all togas are created equal. Men wore a particular style of toga. Theirs was usually a single garment gathered together at the shoulders and at the waist. For younger men, their theirs would be a little shorter, while older men’s were full length. (more…)
