With that in mind, it may be a common misconception that becoming a jewelry designer is a dream that will remain just that. While it is true that there are many people who study the art for years and work very hard to refine their craftsmanship, designers that come unexpectedly out of the wood work are not unheard of. There are many accomplished designers who start their professional life in very different circumstances and turn to their passion for design half way through their carrier.

Emma Guest for example, featured in the video above started off as a journalist, her work was on the topic of the world of fashion but for her to come from a world of writing to design is truly an astonishing story that proves anything is possible.

Now established as a luxury jewelry artisan, Emma sells her wears on various independent designer lead international platforms such as Boticca.com and is getting the most of life following her passion.

PRESS RELEASE

The IPANEMA Urban Jungle Runway Show was a night of fun and true enchantment; a sheer moment to captivate the Metro’s style stars through fresh, animated pieces that capture that jovial spirit unique to the IPANEMA brand. True to the happy and exotic vibe of the beaches of Brazil the brand has been known for since it has established itself back in 1971, the IPANEMA designs featured a refreshingly distinct mix of bright colors adorning striking and bold prints as well as vibrant and unique design patterns.

The runway event witnessed the gathering of fiercest go-getters of the land. Popular celebrities and top models in the name of Enchong Dee, Phoemela Baranda, Ornussa Cadness, Mia Ayesa, Peter Norrdell, among others, graced the occasion and spiced up the night channeling their inner fashion animals. No other moment seemed more apt as the night was dedicated to unraveling the fabulous “fauna” of new IPANEMA flipflop styles through a numinous, story-telling fashion show featuring jungle creatures that embody the diverse tastes and characters of today’s stylistas.

What exactly unfolded during the roaring runway show? A jamboree of mystical animals which included the playful and graceful dolphin; the sleek and agile “Jacob” of the land: the wolf. Also making his regal presence felt was the king of the jungle, lion with its powerful and intimidating stance. Completing the fashion soiree was the vibrant and sophisticated peacock; the soaring eagle with its potent sexual energy; the meek and mild gazelle that represents those with laid back taste; the sexy and imperial snake; the eye-catching ostrich; the zebra which dons its uniqueness in every possible way; and the funny and quirky caterpillar, which transformed into a glamorous butterfly as its fellow animals strutted their way into the urban jungle, a place where there is boundless freedom to express one’s definitive flair and need for comfort. Indeed, it was a runway spectacle like no other.

The Urban Jungle Fashion Show is IPANEMA’s way of celebrating unique individuals who take on everyday determined to conquer the world and stand out. It’s a toast to go-getters who own their unique style and never compromise on getting what they truly desire.

IPANEMA has truly been a bastion for flipflops not only in Brazil, but around the globe as well. Its long history speaks not only of reliability and high quality performance and service, but of innovation, and continuous improvements in styles and designs as well. These fab sandals pride themselves with the supreme ease and comfort they provide to every foot with soles that are sublimely soft and perfectly padded.

With this exciting event marking a new era in the brand’s history, we are invited to make our fashionable mark at the urban jungle and spoil our sole with IPANEMA.

Coupons is a great way to save money. And coupons are also available when you want to buy software will be useful to you, example is HR block coupon. The last time I shopped for cosmetics, I got a $5 coupon and really saved a lot!

Time your shopping. What I mean is schedule your online shopping. Here in my country, the only usable/ wearable clothes are summer clothes in the US. Hence, it is best to shop first week of October where in summer clothes are on sale.

Go for free shipping. And though I live miles away from the US, I always go for free shipping. It works if you have relatives abroad, take their address and use it for your merchandise. Then ask your relative to just use a balikbayan box to ship your goods. It really saves a lot on shipping and custom tax, but that is, if you can wait a month before your good arrived.

• Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector – This is a great BB cream if you’re on a budget. It offers good coverage and is moisturizing. This gives a dewy look to the skin.
• Clinque Age Defense Protection BB Cream – This is a great choice if you are concerned about aging skin. The product contains antioxidants to combat signs of aging, and has an SPF of 30 to prevent further age-related aging. This one goes on fairly sheer, but also makes a good primer if you are looking for more coverage.
• Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream – This BB cream has great coverage. Most BB creams offer one or two shades, but this one offers five, to help you match your skin tone. This product is also fragrance-free, making it a good option for sensitive skin.

It started with a fascination with pink lipstick. And then I tried it and I was actually surprised with the results. I didn’t know that I can look that good on pink lipstick. From then I have been collecting pink stuff, from pink shoes to pink stationery  and soon pink bags.

Let me give you a glimpse on some of my pinks items:

It’s light pink and I love this shade of pink. I think I know love any shade of pink

My pink lipstick collection. The first one is a very light pink lipstick that makes me look really young (it’s a lipstick from Etude House). The second shade is a Maybelline lipstick (fuschia fever). It’s my everyday lipstick. It’s matte and last really long. The last one is L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Lisptick. It’s makes me look older and more sophisticated but I seldom use this today as it’s a riche lipstick, it tends to bleed.

OK, I am rooting for a colorful make up for Easter, green and yellow but since I do not have a make up palette of bright color, my Wet n Wild summer palette will do.. and here’s the result:

Stolen Shot Drama.. didn’t had the chance to take the sweat from my face haha
