CBS All Access’ first original drama series, The Good Fight, premieres tonight, Sunday, February 19 – and we’re excited to share a special teaser about what’s to come on the new series in 2017.

It ended with a slap, and it will begin with a fight…

Clarity-Enhanced Diamond Rings: Great Deals for Prices

Featured Photo From Variety.com

It’s a mouthful, but it’s true: a clarity-enhanced diamond engagement ring is a great deal for a great price.

In the summer of 2016, The Economist asked why Millennials aren’t buying diamonds. The answer is simple with a complicated reason: they can’t afford them. Many Millennials are college students, and tuition costs go up every year. And many jobs require experience, while entry-level jobs are becoming more scarce.

Get ready, Millennials, because we have more affordable alternatives.

Even better still, our diamonds are conflict-free. We understand that you have concerns about the environment and the well-being of the individuals who mine the diamonds. That’s why we ensure that all of our diamond vendors have ethical business practices.

If you are looking for affordable, conflict-free diamonds, then you’ve come to the right online store. Best Brilliance offers diamonds that can come in a variety of forms, including clarity-enhanced diamonds. Some are on necklaces, many are on rings, and you can even buy a loose diamond for later if you would rather have a hand-made band or find a less expensive band elsewhere.

A good diamond is usually certified, to show that it has certain attributes so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. All of the diamonds at Best Brilliance are certified, so you won’t walk away feeling bamboozled because you thought your diamond would look different.

And now you’re wondering: how can our diamonds be less expensive but still high-quality?

The answer lies in clarity-enhanced diamonds. Getting an enhanced gem is your best bet for finding an affordable option for those of you who want to be traditional yet stay within your tight budget.

A clarity-enhanced diamond engagement ring is a great deal for a great price simply because enhanced diamonds, despite how their name may make them sound, are less expensive than more-natural diamonds.

Enhanced diamonds are gems that weren’t in perfect condition, but their minor defects were microscopically fixed. Much like getting a tooth filling, diamonds can be filled where they have tiny cracks or other problems. The end result is a diamond that looks flawless to the average viewer without the high price of a diamond that didn’t need any repairs. A very special type of scope is required in order to see where the filling has been done. In other words, you’ll have a dazzling diamond that looks expensive but was purchased at a fraction of the price of a standard diamond.

Unless someone with X-ray vision is your friend, then no one will know that your diamond didn’t originally look so beautiful and flawless. Through clarity enhancement, a great diamond becomes a wonderful one. No one will know how you were able to afford something so stunning. Let that be your little secret!

Prabal Gurung GTL from Hot Tools + Wella

INSPIRATION:

The evolution of the Prabal woman continues this season, evoking a strong and confident femininity that is juxtaposed by clean lines.

 

LOOK:

A modern take on the classic ponytail with textured tousled hair in the back that is complimented by a boyish look in front with clean combed over hair to create a play on the sexes.

 

GET THE LOOK:

·         Prep the hair with WELLA EIMI Sugar Lift Sugar Spray layering it densely all over, and dry using the Hot Tools Tourmaline Turbo Ionic Dryer.

·         Once it’s all dried in use the Hot Tools Soft Grip Paddle Cushion Brush to smooth it out and create a very deep side part on the left.

·         Rub the WELLA EIMI Rugged Texture Matte Texturizing Paste into the crown to give it that sleek look.

·         Push the front, right section of the hair towards the face, creating a small bump in the front. Break up the hair with fingers for that “lived-in” texture.

·         Pull the hair back into a tight ponytail in the dead center of the back of the head.

·         Wrap strands around the Hot Tools 1” CURLBAR (available later this month) in different directions, making it look very natural. Rub in the WELLA EIMI Sugar Lift Sugar Spray into the ponytail and break it up.

·         Spray the WELLA EIMI Stay Firm Workable Finishing Hairspray all over to complete the sleek look. Let it sit. To finish, blow dry to keep ensure it holds.

Finding The Right Plus Size Prom Dress – Part II

Prom is just around the corner and all that this means is that teenagers have to find just the right dress for that special night. Every high school holds its own prom night each year and this night is very special for all teenagers. Because this night is so important, everyone wants to look their sharpest during the party and this is where the search for finding the right prom dress starts.

As everybody knows by now, girls are the ones who are more interested in look good for prom night and not boys. Boys usually tend to just buy or rent a suit and tie. While looking for a prom dress might sound like a fun time, this isn’t always the case. Especially since every teenager wants their dress to be special.

Surprisingly, even though the demand is very big there aren’t that many retailers which provide customers with plus size prom dresses. This is actually upsetting many people since this trend forces many teenagers to have and acquire their dresses from speciality shops.

Gladly, there are online retailers who offer a huge range of plus size prom dresses. This way, teenagers are not limited to only buying plus sized dresses from speciality shops or even to go through the hassle of tailoring their own dresses. While designing their own dresses brings many advantages such as having a truly unique dress which fits perfectly. The downside to this is that designing and creating your own dress is pretty expensive. The parents or the teenager have to acquire a special tailor which is experienced and is able to create complex dress designs, and tailors like this charge a lot of money.

According to a recent survey, high school teenagers are quite frustrated by the fact that they aren’t able to find plus sized dresses around their local area. Usually, all local shopping malls have their own prom dress specific shops but these shops aren’t known for having some of the most beautiful designs. Usually, plus sized dresses are designed not to hug the body and instead to tent it. This is rather annoying since these dresses look baggy and it’s simply not a good fit for anyone.

Nonetheless, because we know that prom is an important night for every teenager. We need to advise all teenagers that they shouldn’t get frustrated over the fact that they can’t find enough plus sized dresses and just try to have fun. In the end, that’s what really matters.

Red Prom Dress Trends Inspired By The Grammys

Prom is perhaps the most important night in a teenager’s life, especially for girls who usually start preparing for this special occasion months ahead. A great prom night will make high school even more memorable and finding red prom dresses from top designers will make or break if the night is successful or not.

All details should be planned to perfection beforehand and no prom night could be regarded as being perfect without an amazing dress which suits the occasion. Girls these days look like models and their parents are willing to spend whatever amount of money to make sure that their daughters look like princesses.

Prom dresses can prove to be a tough find as they are being ordered months before the event takes place from famous designers from around the world and not only will a great dress confer a feeling of luxury and exquisiteness but a girl who wears a gorgeous dress will surely be the talk of the town for weeks on end.

Those who are not lucky enough to have bought a designer dress, the internet comes up for help as there are a wide array of online stores to choose from when selecting the perfect dress for the perfect occasion. Options are extremely numerous and a quick online search is over within minutes. Deciding upon what dress to buy is entirely different as colors and styles vary from website to website and not only are girls needed to go through all the hassles of picking the right one but they do not have the warranty of matching their size perfectly.

2017 Grammys Red Carpet Trends

It is strongly advised that girls who want to order a dress from the web should do it weeks before the grand event to make sure it fits perfectly. A tailor can do some modifications in a short amount of time to make sure that every girl feels as confident as ever when she wears her favorite dress.

Another option is to opt for a tailor’s help as they will make everything from color and style highly customizable and he will also take into account one’s preferences regarding fashion. Not only does he create the dress but can also give girls some fashion-related advice and how a dress should look like in accordance to one’s body type as well as the colors which fit to a certain design.

Make sure that one does not lose sight of last-minute preparations such as make-up and hairstyle so book your stylist beforehand to make sure that everything goes according to plan on this big night of everyone’s lives.

NYFW RECAP: Katie Gallagher FW17 “Hallow”

Even now this landscape is assembling.

The hills darken. The oxen

sleep in their blue yoke,

the fields having been

picked clean, the sheaves

bound evenly and piled at the roadside

among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:

 

This is the barrenness

of harvest or pestilence.

And the wife leaning out the window

with her hand extended, as in payment,

and the seeds

distinct, gold, callin

Come here

Come here, little one

 

And the soul creeps out of the tree.

 

Louise Glück, “All Hallows,” 1968

Set in New England during autumn, Katie Gallagher’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection, Hallow, finds inspiration in men’s military apparel, specifically the MA-1 bomber jacket. Developed in the 1940s, the bomber jacket provided warmth and safety to pilots during air combat in WWII.

In the decades following, the garment became one of the most identifiable pieces of military apparel, finding its way into popular culture by the end of the 20th century. Gallagher has featured iterations of the bomber jacket in many of her past collections, using tulle, lace, and other unlikely materials to create the traditionally heavy, masculine garment.

Like early bomber jackets that were lined in orange, Gallagher’s color palette will feature black and orange hues, which also recall the colors of autumn and death most commonly associated with All Hallow’s Eve.

Hallow relies heavily on textures and subtle details, featuring point d’esprit and tulle that form non-traditional, dainty, and triangular silhouettes. Materials include airy swiss dot paired with heavy opaque wool, silk, English tulle, Mountain Goat, lambskin, and pony fur leathers. Gallagher’s signature twisted seams finish turtleneck sleeves and leggings.

Hallow is Gallagher’s ​1​6th ​collection. Gallagher’s past collections have been celebrated by Vogue, The Cut, Nylon, Glamour, Refinery 29, W Magazine and Teen Vogue, among others, for her attention to detail, superior craftsmanship, and creativity. She pulls inspiration from her childhood, music, art, and her life in New York City. More information is available at katiegallagher.com.
