Pearls, in general, are formed naturally where the simplest process would be for a clam to produce it and people get them, as children would say it. But the pearls that we see right now, being manufactured in to all kinds of jewelry are not like how nature would produce them, hence culturing of pearls come in, where Mikimoto Kokichi had been one of the pioneers of this kind of process that people all around the world do nowadays. And who wouldn’t do such a thing? After the discovery that pearls can actually be cultured, Mikimoto Pearls have been able to harvest tons of pearls, compared to the old fashioned way of diving for those mollusks and force them open to get a pearl, where you wouldn’t even be able to know if the one that you’re taking is valuable or not. Pearls have become an essential part of the fashion industry, as well as the entertainment industry because it can easily create a sophisticated kind of fashion amongst women, and the best people to look at are Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox to name a few of those Hollywood celebrities who really love wearing those precious, round jewels.

I know it’s a bit early but I’m trying to find some nice bikinis for my girlfriend because her birthday is in June and I think it would be a nice gift to give her this coming summer. I’m doing this as early as now because of course, I don’t know much about bikinis and I need all the time in the world to choose which is better for her. When it comes to size, it shouldn’t be that hard to find one for her since she is slim and her body isn’t too little nor too big. She has a nice shape and I think most of the mannequins in the stores or shops use the same size that she has. The design will be the big challenge in here. I’d go for something safe like buying a plain green bikini since it’s her favorite color, but then again, I think she would appreciate it more if I look for something that she would actually like because of the designs.

One of her friends told me to look for Brazilian bikinis for the style because she said it would definitely look good on her. I checked out the internet for some information about it since I don’t know how those Brazilian bikinis look like and I think I would still need to make a decision because there are a lot of styles to choose from…

Here are some very good tips for fashionista beginners.. Enjoy!

1 . Know your skin complexion – you have to know what skin complexion you have since everything you will wear after will depend on your skin tone. From your make up, to jewelry, to clothes, shoes and more. This is where we will judge if a yellow gold jewellery will suit you or not. But worry not, silver is always IN and sterling silver jewelry doesn’t need to match any complexion. Silver is always on the safe side for accessories. And if the character you’re pursuing looks no way like you, then maybe you should think twice. But then again, there isn’t a law against that.

2 . Make-up – this is always essential for every womanl into fashion. Because going without make-up just never seems right, you will tend to look mediocre and non-fictional at all (since you are aiming for more sophisticated and mature look here). These most basic items: foundation, concealer, loose powder, oil film, eyeliner, make-up brushes/sponges, make-up remover, eyebrow pencil, lipstick/lip balm. It will depend on your personality, the event, time of the day and more consideration involved. Remember, the lesser the better.

3. Clothes – while you can buy pre-made clothes at stores like H&M, Mango, and more.. it is always best to look for the appropriate fabric youself and have them personally tailored. This makes better fit to your body and that alones makes it look better and you sure have the unique style. And it is much cheaper if you have good eyes for fabric.

Just one more advice, being a fashionista doesn’t mean you have to spend lots of money. Some people get discounts by looking for wholesale retailers where people usually buy wholesale jewelry or fabrics in bulk for bigger discounts.

The funniest and at the same time, the sorriest thing happened in our fashion show the other day due to a very unusual incident that made us all remember it for the rest of our lives. Our head designer had a fashion show held in a mall and all of us were doing our thing, being busy and all that, when the incident occurred. Our head designer told me that he was suffering from an irritable bowel syndrome and he had been having constipation for a couple of days. I decided to give him the last laxative pill that I have in my bag because I also had that a couple of weeks before. When we were already having the show going, he just could not hold his composure because the laxative has already taken its effect on his body and he can’t go out to the ramp to walk with his models. In the end, he decided to just have me walk the ramp with the models while he run towards the nearest bathroom to do the deed. I was just really laughing when I walked out the ramp. I told him not to take it yet but I guess he was just excited to take them that he immediately took it even though he knew that he is going out the ramp.
