Haiti !


"Every act of love saves mankind. "
You can not look at the life of each one as an isolated incident. We are all the work called "Earth" and we are all in one boat. The trees, animals, air, soil, sea, humans, everything and everyone are linked to each other's life by God's wonderful creation. Love is much broader than that which we give to those who are close, our children, parents, friends, our home . Given the magnitude of the universe this kind of love apears to be small , however, it is the basis of everything. You must treat the planet as we treat our living room or garden. No one in their right mind, places the kitchen garbage in the middle of the room, or steals the flowers grown in your garden, to sell for two cents. An ancient proverb from Kenya:
"Treat the earth well. She was not given to us by our parents. She was loaned to us by our children”.

You ever heard of Tom Binns? This Irish trained in art and jewelry design began to create their exotic pieces inspired by Dadaismo and found in partnership with Vivienne Westwood the chance to sign a totally unique style.

In maxi size, which is not discrete, the necklaces may come in various shapes, styles and a variety of materials such as glass beads, pearls, wood, resin, enamel, metal, leather, ribbons and jewels. It fine to mix gold with silver wires with various sizes and overlap them. Inorder not to risk the over production of this style in jewelry, it is important to consider the proportions of the body. For people who are short , a tip is to use the shorter lenghts . As for people who are tall, long lenghts are more harmonious. A good look in the mirror will show what works . The big trend (literally) that rocked several European fashion shows this year was the "Maxie Necklace". Brands such as Prada and Lanvin are counting on jewelry with mega parts combining both simple and luxurious materials as a strategy for sparking a new fashion look. . Between megie jewelry, simple line dresses, bright colors, and crazy shoe combinations the diffently makes an individual stand out. The tendency to choose the necklace as the centerpiece is spreading throught the fashion world. How you look is more than ever a statment of who you are "bold, confident, and independent .

Note: I suggest purchasing the glass beads because, although more expensive, do not peel as easily and are more beautiful !
