All of these products are amazing, and it can be hard to select only one. Diamonds are also the first choice when it comes to the engagement ring.

How to choose the perfect diamond- the 4Cs

Before you select the right diamond, you need to know more about the essential 4Cs. These 4 Cs come from cut, carat, color, and clarity. You need to take all of these into account before purchasing a diamond. Despite the fact that the grading report is important, all of these Cs deserve an analysis.

The Cut

Let’s start with the cut of the diamond. First of all, this is not the shape of the piece of jewelry, it is the combined aspect of the proportions and the finishing. The shape of the diamond is different, and it can be a heart diamond or a cushion diamond. Now, the cut is the most important aspect you should look at when you purchase a diamond.

The Carat Weight

When it comes to the cut, there is a GIA system which indicates the grade of the diamond. There are Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. Always try to find the best cut grade in a diamond because this is the most important.

The carat weight of the diamond is another important thing to take into consideration. This actually show you the weight of the diamond. For instance, one carat equals 200 milligrams/ 100 points. When you purchase a 1 carat diamond it actually means that you select a 0.2 grams diamond. When you are searching for the perfect diamond, make sure that the carat weight is not too big for your hand.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

January 10, 2018 by Leave a Comment

The weather has been all over the place this winter, and that means so has your wardrobe been. Shoes are the hardest part to figure out- no one likes wet, cold, uncomfortable feet- that makes for a long day. We are loving this footwear, and we thing you will, too.

winter shoes for men

 

Waldlaufer has a huge variety of women’s shoes- but did you know they offer mens, as well? It’s a great time to check them out. We have been wearing the Men’s Jack Hayo Waterproof Oxford Schiefer shoes for about two months now, and using them for everything from daily wear to hiking and even to the gym a few times- they remain sturdy, easy to wear for long days out and about, supportive, and they do keep your feet dry.  They are a bit heavier then your average shoe, but they are also pretty rugged since they offer so much protection.  This ankle high waterproof boot will protect your feet all winter long- and beyond.  You won’t be leaving these in your closet when the season changes.  Since it is made with a waterproof membrane, it prevents moisture from entering the shoe.  The soles have great traction and durability as well as a supportive footbed. Get yours at https://www.waldlaufer.com for $190.

Perfect for winter (or any season but summer, I’d say) are the water-resistant and insanely comfortable new Luana ankle boots from Arcopedico.  These have very fast become my favorite boots, and perhaps my favorite shoes in general. So soft, so comfortable- and ethical as well. Made entirely of vegan materials (that never hurts, a “good for the environment” choice) they are easy to pair with almost any outfit, or to dress up and dress down.  These look like suede, but are actually Lytech with a self-adjusting side elastic for a super comfortable fit. With rounded toes and a slight wedge heel, these are actually machine washable as well. Really. Three colors available, Black, Brown, or Burgundy. Get yours for $105 at http://arcopedicousa.com

The Unforgettable Bohemian City-Break: 2 Outfits to Make Your Travels Dreamy

August 11, 2016 by 2 Comments

There is something charming and adventurous in a city break away from home, even if by definition such trips are short in length. They are almost always spontaneous, challenging, romantic and full of amazing surprises. Discovering a new city, a new culture, style, and getting immersed in a strange and unique environment, getting a taste of a place’s most cherished landmarks and entertainment facilities – all make a city break a fun adventure to embark in wholeheartedly.

Some cities, however, and mostly the ones on the Old Continent, are also romantic by nature, compelling you to dress appropriately for the occasion. If you are a bohemian at heart, and you plan a quick getaway in an old, fabulous and romantic city in the world, these are two boho outfits you should consider taking along.

1. The Boho-Chic Bardot Dress

Worn by famous silver screen diva Brigitte Bardot, the modern Bardot boho dress can accompany you no matter where you go. Stylish and feminine, comfortable, sexy and sporting a retro flair to die for, you can style up the Bardot dress any way you like. Why is this perfect outfit to take on a bohemian trip?

-It is comfortable (as all boho dresses feature natural, soft and skin-friendly fabrics such as cotton, silk, chiffon, velvet, wool, etc.) and thin enough to allow you to walk and sightsee all day long in summer.
