Celebrities and their Watches

I have a watch fetish and its fun to see which watch is adorned in the hands of celebs.

Lets check out some of their watches.

1. Reese Witherspoon - In real life its the Rolex President in yellow gold that adornes her wrist most of the times. Reese has some sentimental values attached to her Rolex President. Though, in the movie 'Four Chritmases', Reese Witherspoon was wearing the fab Cartier Roadster Watch. I totally love Cartier Roadster.

.
2. Princess Diana - The elegant and sophisticated Princess Diana used to wear an 18 carat Cartier Tank Francaise watch.

Cartier's Tank Watch is quite popular with celebrities and is adorned on the wrists of the likes of Angelina Jolie, Naomi Campbell, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan. Even the late US President John F. Keneddy was a fan of Cartier Tank Watch. Even the First Lady Michelle Obama has been spotted wearing a Tank Francaise. Louis Cartier's Tank watch has been the cult object du jour since decades and continues to be so.

Cartier watches are known for attracting celebrities and royalty, as they are without a doubt the crème-de-la-crème of fine watch making. Whether your taste in watches is flamboyant or conservative, modern or classic, there is a distinctive Cartier timepiece just for you.

3. Shilpa Shetty - Shilpa Shetty wears a huge men sized Rolex Yacht-Master.

There is something with celebs and Rolex. I think there wouldn't be any celebrity without a Rolex - Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba, Will Smith, Saif Ali Khan, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, Mean Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker and the list goes on...

.
4. Britney Spears - Britney wears Roger Dubuis watch. Among her favorites, there are also Chopard Montres Dame and Breitling watches.

.
5. Halle Berry - The sexy Halle Berry loves wearing her Franck Muller Casablanca 2852.

.
6. Sylvester Stallone - You may not know but Stallone has a watch fetish and has a huge watch collection. His favourite though is watches by Panerai, which he is often seen wearing.

A pearl string is one of the must-haves in every girl's wardrobe. And this season pearls have become really popular. Pearls with diamonds go very well with especially wedding gowns. They're classy, stylish and speak of luxury.

Layers of pearls go well with both the classic romantic and the avant-garde bride. Bridal gowns with backless and plunging necklines are best jeweled with long layers of pearls in uniform or graduated sizes.

Ashley Judd wore pearls on Salma Hayek's April 2009 wedding in Venice -

....... add some colour to your wedding
You can turn a classic look into something a little more modern simply by adding a splash of color. Lavish accessories with exotic gems, beading, pearls and a splash of color are very hot this wedding season. Elaborate necklaces with colored gems, beads, or crystals are very trendy. Another trend is flowers and rosettes incorporated into jewelry - necklace designs, statement rings and headpieces as they celebrate the freshness of spring and summer. The brilliant colors accentuate the dresses and flowers, yet stand out on their own as well.

.
Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

Talking of weddings, we can't ignore the most important - engagement rings and wedding bands. Ultimately, out of everything your wedding band and/or engagement ring is something you would wear for the lifetime. And every girl desires some extravagancy when it comes to their rings.
.

.
As far as the ring goes, the bigger and more sparkly the better!! However, these days many girls are opting for coloured stones with diamonds for their rings or wedding bands. I would, though, still prefer the traditional diamond ring (certainly with a modern touch, but something that is classy).
.
Your engagement ring symbolise your love and choosing the perfect one can be really exciting. You can either buy a pre-set wedding band/ring or customise your own wedding band as per your choice and preference to bring in new meaning to your love. There are jewelry specialists like Abazias who can help you create your custom made engagement rings or wedding bands, using best quality certified diamonds in the size, shape and clarity you require. In addition to custom-made rings, they also have an excellent selection of pre-set engagement rings for those looking to purchase a finished ring.
.
For very extravagant rings and/or eternity bands, you can check out Lussori Online Store. They have a range of luxury jewelry designers from Chopard to de Grisogono to H. Stern with their unique designs.
Tip: You want designer style, genuine diamonds but don't want to pay just for the brand? Then you can choose the design from a luxury brand and then get it custom made to suit your budget.

.

Buy a WATCH FOR YOUR WEDDING - or a present maybe?

Most of us spend generously when it comes to wedding, after all its one in a lifetime opportunity. So why not buy a good watch, that would last a lifetime? Or ask (maybe hint) your spouse-to-be to gift one to you? Especially when you can get the luxury watches at great prices?
I am listing here some of the delectable watches that you can get for your wedding, and would certainly be one buy that you would cherish (luxury, but for different budget needs) -

Extra Details - the unique wedding jewelry ideazz...

Want something a little more current, but still fashionable with a little pop culture tied in? Take Katherine Heigl’s unique reception table idea. Heigl’s jewelry choices not only adorned her, but her reception tables as well. Each table had an ornate snowflake brooch propped within the wedding flowers on the tables. The brooch went exceptionally well with the couple’s Christmas themed wedding. What an easy way to add elegance to your table as well as create a little pop culture nostalgia at the same time.

Large, chunky earrings are currently the order of the day in jewelry trends, and you can find your perfect piece to go with your wedding dress. But make sure you balance your jewelry, to avoid being over-the-top. Large earrings calls for no or very subtle neckpiece.

Recently Lisa Loeb, the singer, married Roey Hershkovitz. She wore a pink wedding gown which she accessoried with an antique brooch at her waistline. Brooches are a simple way to pep-up your simple wedding gown or your ensmble. You can even wear it in your hair, like Aishwarya Rai did at the red carpet at Cannes.

This wedding season, anything goes as long as it’s creative, fun and unique!

Kate Hudson attented the Cartier 100th Anniversary in America Celebration at Cartier Fifth Avenue Mansion in a long black Rachel Roy Dress from their Fall 2009 collection.

Waist Cinching Belt

Spotted Sandra Bullock (Update 26 July 2009), Bipasha and Sonam in a simple, stylish dress with waist-cinching belt. They are looking very feminine, pretty and classy. The dresses are ultra-feminine and stylish.
.
Fitted waists look very stylish and are the best way to pep-up your look, add colour, add interest and a way to recreate you outfi. An easy way to create one is with a wide belt. Dig one out and wear it with flowing dresses or skirts. They define your waist and may also work by camouflaging your problem area.

When it comes to fashion, this girl sure scores over most of the girls in Bollywood and yup she does it again.

Sonam looked absolutely gorgeous and so very cute in a cinched waist Polka Dot dress at Delhi 6 press meet at Dubai. The red lips, Chanel's jumbo flap bag, a chunky Cartier (men's) watch and hoop earrings perfected the look.

How to wear?

Waist-cinching belt with a nice dress or even a shirt or top is a great way to look stylish. It creates the illusion of a tiny waist. And the best part is, it's easy to take this look from day to night.
.
Tip: Revamp your little black dress by pairing it with a colourful (even metallic) waist cinching belt and matching shoes. You don't need to spend extra on a whole new dress. Shop smarter, and use accessories to create new looks with same wardrobe.
.
After all, recession doesn't mean you have to look boring.
