“Women are most fascinating between the ages of 35 and 40 after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass 40, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.” ~Christian Dior

Did you know?...

Clothes that are dry cleaned last longer!

And prior to 1850, 70% of the clothes worn were hand-stitched by the people who wore them. Clothes were a commodity, NOT fashion! Interesting how times have changed..

Shamballa Bracelets!



There are many ideas as to what these Shamballa bracelets represent; however, the general idea is to promote your well being. It is the symbol for the mind, completing the trinity of body and speech. Incidentally, Nialaya inspired shambala disco ball bracelets have more meaning than just a bracelet, it's inspired by meditation and traditions of Buddhist culture. Depending on the style, color, and shape, each bracelet has built in individual meanings. With that said, many of today’s celebrities wear these bracelets for their own beliefs.

The disco ball bead bracelets aren’t limited to gender either as Heidi Klum, Keri Hilson, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Jay Z and Beyonce have also worn these spiritual shambala bracelets.

There’s no better time to get in touch with hip hop fashion and your inner self than with shamballa bracelets. You can find these at CRYSTYLES!!! =)

Crystyles Fashion Fun Fact!

Ever wonder how Christian Louboutin’s signature red soles came about? Well here's a little fashion fun fact we learned about the origins behind the red soles.
"I did not really choose the red sole. Its more like the red sole came to me and had to stay with me. It started as a happy accident, which I kept. I was very inspired by pop art so all my drawings were really full of colors. So the first prototype arrives. Its very similar to my designs so I was very happy. But something was missing. Thank God I had this girl with me who was painting her nails. Grabbed her nailpolish – thank you to Chanel for that!  I grabbed the nailpolish and I painted the sole." ~ Christian Louboutin

Quote of the Day!


“We all have a Wonder Woman inside us.” —American designer Diane von Furstenberg 


On this day in 1976, Diane von Furstenberg was featured on the cover of Newsweek, which called her the most marketable designer since Coco Chanel. The Wonder Woman quote was given to the same magazine more than 30 years later, when she launched her limited-edition comic book, The Adventures of Diva, Viva and Fifa, in 2008.

Shoe of the Day!

Rodarte designer Laura promised “every shade of brown you can imagine, seventies suburbia, wood paneling, gold, off colors like chartreuse--basically, a combination of all the things that represent the area [our childhoold backyard] to us”  and this was evident in the hand-carved, sculpted platforms and heels that perfectly complimented the outfits.  I wonder how long these heels took to shape. They are truly a work of art!
