Who is Prettier? Sophia Loren or Holly Valance

  • Posted on December 30, 2011 at 4:12 am

The Strictly Come Dancing star, Holly Valance released a photo that she recreated the famous pose by Sophia Loren in 1960 movie, The Millionairess. Sure, Holly Valace will immediately become a millionaires in the real life, for she has just engaged with her millionaire boyfriend. And I can see that she is really happy in the photo.

The 28-year-old can wore a sexy corset and knickers with stockings hoisted up by suspenders. Morover, she added some old Hollywood glamour with a massive hat, pearls charms jewelry, white gloves and peep-toe heels with a circle of beads necklaces on each one. Her blonde hair is pulled back and tiny pearl earrings are added to the ensemble.

This is the photo that posed by Italian actress, Sophia Loren, who played an arrogant heiress who married to please her father, in the film which was set in London. Her beautiful face and arrogant eyes made this photo totally different from Holly’s.

Which woman is prettier? I personally love Sophia, and she looks like a real, elegant and arrogant heiress. Sophia’s hat has pink ribbons while Holly’s hat has blue ribbons. I prefer pink ribbons to blue ribbons.

Refresh Your Broken Fashion Jewelry

  • Posted on December 29, 2011 at 4:30 am

If your stunning fashion jewelry is broken, what would you do? Most people have to throw it away, but here you can find some useful tips to refresh your broken bracelet or necklace no matter the jewels are real or not. And you may make a little change to your jewelry in the repair process. Prepare stone-setting tweezers, rhinestone, hypo-tube cement, plate, cup, string and scissors, and then begin your bijou jewelry repairing work.


If your jewelry has loose rhinestone, you firstly need to remove the loose rhinestone carefully from the jewelry with tweezers. Pour a little bit of Hypo-tube cement onto a plate. There are other glues that you can use to re-set your rhinestones, but this one is made specifically for jewelry repairs and will provide the best results.

Hold the rhinestone with the tweezers and dip the bottom into the cement. You only need a very little bit of cement to make it stick. Too much glue will come up from the sides of the rhinestone when you press it into place, so take care not to dunk it in too much.

Place the rhinestone back in its setting and press firmly in place. Allow cement to dry overnight before you attempt to wear the jewelry.

When your charms jewelry has got broken string, you should remove beads or pearls from the broken string and save them in a cup. Cut the broken string off of the clasp and remove from necklace or bracelet.

Knot one end of the new string to the piece of jewelry. Slide enamel beads or pearl charms onto the new string in the order you would like. Cut the string to size and knot the other end tightly to the clasp. And then you can wear your jewelry again.

  • Posted on December 28, 2011 at 3:45 am

This is a happy Christmas for both Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the divorced couple spent Christmas together at their Brentwood, California home with their four children together: Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher.

Maria absolutely enjoyed the merry Christmas atmosphere, for she is said to be ‘reconsidering ‘ their divorce.

Here is Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Maria wore white gown with stunning crystal beads earrings and bracelets; while Arnold looked neat in his black suit.

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger filed for divorce split in May – following 25 years of marriage – when the former California governor and action movie star confessed he had fathered a young boy named Joseph with Baena.

However, the pair have spent been spotted with each other frequently since the announcement of their split in the wake of it being revealed that Arnold fathered a love child.

But it appears that Maria Shriver is reconsidering the move.

Due to a number of factors, including her Catholic beliefs, she has reportedly told friends that she is having second thoughts, sources have told TMZ.

Most devout Catholics do not believe in divorce.

The decision for Shriver is said to have been made even more difficult with Arnold’s attempts to win her back.

Trying again? Could Shriver be prepared to take her husband back? Here Maria wore long wood beads crafts necklace, beads bracelets and black frock.

The Terminator star, 64, has apparently been showering her with gifts and acting ‘extremely sweet’ towards his estranged wife, according to the website.

Since announcing their split, the couple have been remaining amicable for the sake of their children. They were even seen attending church together last month. Maria is also still visiting Arnold’s favourite Beverly Hills salon Guiseppe Franco. She had her hair perfectly coiffed there earlier this month.

The Terminator star also organised haircuts for himself and sons Patrick, 18, and Christopher, 14, the same week.

The Schwarzenegger family shearings is perhaps one sign that Arnold and Maria are amicably working through their difficulties.

Happy Holidays and Happy Kiss Between Camille Grammer and Taylor Armstrong

  • Posted on December 27, 2011 at 2:52 am

It is reported that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Camille Grammer, 43, and Taylor Armstrong, 40 were kissing and making up in recent period of time. During happy Christmas, everyone seems to have got happy spirits.

Taylor Armstrong looked very happy in her black over-sized sunglasses. She wore grey cashimere and grey long vest, matching with blue beads bracelets on both hands and a pair of ankle boots to finish her ensemble.


Tensions between the two reality stars exploded earlier this week on the series after Taylor and her then-husband, the now deceased Russell, were ejected from Kyle Richards’ annual garden party. Thus, Taylor was furious with Camille for being the first cast member to reveal that Russell had allegedly been physically abusive with her. Russell then threatened to sue Grammer, which infuriated – and divided – their cast mates.

Not pleased Taylor – I can easily see disappointment and sadness on her face. Tough she wear Murano glass beads bijou jewelry, earrings, rings and light make-up, she still looked a little bit gloomy.



As none of the women liked or trusted Russell, they collectively decided that the couple should not attend Kyle’s party.

However, none of the women could get a hold of Taylor and thus decided the couple should be turned away before they even entered the gathering.

‘I’ve tried calling her and texting her to save her the embarrassment of being turned away from the party,’ Lisa Vanderpump, Taylor’s newest ally, told the ladies.

In a voice over, Kyle, her closest friend, said: ‘I haven’t been able to reach Taylor. I’m going to have to wait for her to show up and then dis-invite her from my party. I feel so bad.’  Kyle actually did feel horribly, and burst into tears several times at her own shindig to prove it.

Top 10 Fashion Icons in 2011

  • Posted on December 26, 2011 at 4:02 am

2012 is around the corner now! Let’s take a look at these pink fashion icons in 2011. When they wear their stunning gowns walking on the red carpet, they are always the focus. Following are top 10 persons who wear the most beautiful gowns in 2011. Which one is your own fashion icon?

1. Michelle Obama, in Alexander McQueen at a state dinner for China in Washington

This red silk organza dress was scandalous when Michelle Obama wore it in January because her choice of a British designer was deemed unpatriotic: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The First Lady defended her choice thus: ‘Look, women, wear what you love. That’s all I can say. That’s my motto. I wear what I like.’

2. Kate Winslet, in Stella McCartney at the Venice Film Festival

Kate wore this optical illusion Octavia dress at the Venice Film Festival in September. Designer Stella McCartney bagged a well-deserved Red Carpet Designer of the Year gong at this year’s British Fashion Awards.

3. Natalie Portman, in Rodarte at the Oscars

A simple purple dress that spoke volumes. Portman had been planning to wear Dior, having been hired as the brand’s face, but changed her mind after designer John Galliano was filmed making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar. Instead, she hastily chose a gown by Rodarte, the label which made the costumes for her film, Black Swan.

4. Pippa Middleton, in Alexander McQueen at the Royal Wedding

Pippa’s derriere, also clad in ivory McQueen, caused an online furore, and to my mind, slightly overshadowed the less violently tanned Kate. Which is why bridesmaids mostly wear lime nylon puffballs.

5. Lady Gaga, in Hussein Chalayan  at the Grammys

Lady Gaga bagged the most magazine covers this year: 36. Her best dress? Well, not a dress exactly but the Hussein Chalayan egg she wore to the Grammys in February, from which she emerged clad in lemon-coloured latex, complete with pleather brassiere.

6. Kate Middleton, in Alexander McQueen at her wedding

What more can I say about this dress? Millions of us have seen it on display at Buckingham Palace since the wedding. It was pretty much perfect . . . and you know I never say that.

7. Kate again, in Jenny Packham at a charity event in Kensington

I love the colour, which matches the blush on her cheeks. I love her sexy, tumbling hair, and my, what a tiny waist. I have a feeling Kate’s really going to find her fashion feet in 2012.

8. Gisele, in vintage Alexander McQueen at the Met Ball, New York

This is the world’s highest-paid supermodel doing what she does best — filling out a dress. And what a gown — a 2005 McQueen fire engine red number.

9. Jennifer Lopez, on stage at the American Music Awards

This is not so much a dress, more a body stocking, with spangles covering Jennifer Lopez’s bits and bobs. I imagine she was trying to let ex-husband Marc Anthony know just what he was missing. It’s the ultimate revenge outfit, yet some magazines still asked if it was ‘age appropriate’. She is JENNIFER LOPEZ. Who cares how old she is?

10. Emma Watson, in Valentino at the Baftas

This was the year Emma Watson came of age. This nude Valentino gown was ethereal, not too lamb dressed as mutton, and not a vertiginous platform in sight.

According to Wyoming’s Tayloe Piggott Jewelry, Timberlake asked Biel the all-important question on Sunday night as they stayed at the five-star Amangani resort in the state.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel looked stunning in black and red on the red carpet. Jessica wore bling beads crafts earrings and ring to match her amazing red backless gown. The bijou jewelry makes her radiant.  And Justin wore a pair of black glasses, and he looked rather neat.

The jeweller wrote on its Facebook page: ‘Word on the street is that Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel at the Amangani last night. We’re picking out post-engagement presents for them just in case they come in! Trying to play it cool.’

At the same time, New York PR agent Kyle Schaffler wrote on his Twitter page: ‘I love that no media outlets know about the Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel engagement. Benefits of working in PR.’

The couple had announced in March that they had called time on their relationship after dating since 2007. They had a short split for a period of time, but they soon reunited earlier this year.
