Lyrical Paradise recalls ecstasy

Marco Bicego, the world renowned Italian jewellery house which burst upon the jewellery scene less than a decade ago and is hailed for its ability to redefine ‘everyday luxury’ presents interesting propositions in its lyrical Paradise collection. Blending delicate 18k yellow gold chains with his signature hand engraved gold beads, South Sea pearls and colourful gems of every hue the visionary designer comes up with yet another iconic collection to win women over in whimsical options for casual, day as well as evening allure.

Marco Bicego said: “The Paradise collection is defined by a flowing, cascading quality to it, enriched by a colourful blend of gemstones and hand engraved gold beads. Bicego fans would be interested to know that Paradise is a collection inspired by the sun’s reflection in the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea when I was swimming there during one of my trips.”

Bicego’s jewellery has an emotive quality to it that’s immediately discernible to the viewer, and each handcrafted piece in the Paradise collection exudes this quality. As a term denoting a faraway land where one is free of all cares, ‘Paradise’ instantly recalls such aspects like bliss, ‘Seventh Heaven’ and ecstasy. And Bicego effortlessly translates his experience in Paradise’s glittering array of jewels by infusing a carefree, gypsy-charm to jewels of tactile joy that are simply irresistible.

Paradise has a poetic, flowing quality to it resembling water droplets strung on a thread, which shimmer as they catch the play of sunlight. In Paradise, Bicego immortalises the imagery with a rich, luminous array of multihued semi-precious stones such as amethysts, citrines, garnets, blue topaz, rose quartz, along with gleaming freshwater pearls and his signature hand engraved gold beads which play water droplets and strings them on delicate gold chains.

He then transforms them with practiced ease into single chain or multiple chain necklaces, bracelets, drop earrings and rings to offer jewels of pure feminine essence. While the single or double strands offer elegant accessories for casual and corporate wear, one can easily ‘amp’ evening glamour with Paradise’s rich, assortment of multiple strand jewels.

And the New Darna is... Marian Rivera - The Least We Expected

It's true. It's Marian Rivera indeed is the New Darna on the Kapuso Network as told in the news yesternight. At first we're actually guessing who the next Darna will be. Names that came out were Jennylyn Mercado, Katrina Halili, Carla Abellana or anyone but Marian Rivera.

But everything came a surprise when it was announced that it was indeed Marian Rivera. We have no objections or maybe we really do. Its just that Marian has been a mainstay in the primetime television. Won't you even give Marian Rivera a break. We won't be surprised if suddenly we hear a news that Marian Rivera suddenly collapsed due to over fatigued. Same goes to the fans. Perhaps we would want to miss Marian for a while, not having the feeling like "Si Marian na naman.. Wala na bang iba?"

Oh well, just our 2 cents. You know better than we do. :D

Learn About Your Lingerie

Today women who want both comfortable and exclusive lingerie don't find their size and good fitting. The different distribution channels propose only standardized lingerie and none tailor made. Women want to be sure about the right sizes, and perfect fittings. This article talks about the various aspects of Fabrics used for lingerie and different shapes of lingerie to gracefully present the women's body.

Fabrics used for lingerie

Lace

Lace is a lightweight, openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. Lace-making is an ancient craft. True lace was not made until the late 15^th and early 16^th centuries. A true lace is created when a thread is looped, twisted or braided to other threads independently from a backing fabric.

Originally linen, silk, gold, or silver threads were used. Now lace is often made with cotton thread. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber. A few modern artists make lace with a fine copper or silver wire instead of thread.

There are many types of lace, defined by how they are made. These include:

Needle lace: made using a needle and thread. This is the most flexible of the lace-making arts.

Cutwork, or white work; lace constructed by removing threads from a woven background, and the remaining threads wrapped or filled with embroidery.

Bobbin Lace: as the name suggests, made with bobbins and a pillow.

Tape lace: makes the tape in the lace as it is worked, or uses a machine- or hand-made textile strip formed into a design, then joined and embellished with needle or bobbin lace.

Knotted lace: including Macram and Tatting.

Crocheted lace: including Irish crochet, pineapple crochet, and filet crochet.

Knitted lace: including Shetland lace, such as the "wedding ring shawl", a lace shawl so fine that it can be pulled through a wedding ring.

Machine-made: any style of lace created or replicated using mechanical means. The machine is used to tie up the 'M' point together.

Muslin

Muslin is most typically a closely-woven unbleached or white cloth, produced from corded cotton yarn. Wide muslin is called "sheeting". It is often used to make dresses or curtains but may also be used to complement foam for bench padding. Muslin breathes well, and is a good choice of material for clothing meant for hot, dry climates.
