The Old, The Bold, and the New: Jewelry Trends for Autumn/Winter 2018-19

Jewelry and accessory - aren't they the same thing? Not really. Jewelry, collectively speaking, consists of personal ornaments - rings, necklaces, earrings, etc; An accessory is a part of something else - something additional, like an attachment. A single piece of jewelry can stand on its own, and can make or break a look.




Now, you probably have a few questions. Does my jewelry have to keep up with the current trend? Do they have to be expensive? Designer-made? Yes and no, no, and not always. Just like any fashion trend, there's a season for each kind of jewelry. It pays to have the trendy pieces, but it's always good to have a few of the timeless ones - pearls and colored gems, which are actually making a comeback this year.

Below are a few pieces recommended by your most trusted brands and designers for the autumn/fall season:

1. Hoop Earrings


Much like pearl earrings, hoop earrings never really left the fashion industry; they have just been revamped throughout the years. Take for example the Lele Sadoughi pair ($118) - its mixed prints can definitely spice up any outfit, and is a rather far cry from the gold hoops of the 90's that we've come to love.

But, if you want something more reminiscent of the 90's, the gold plated hoop earrings from Natasha Schweitzer ($380) is a good option.

2. Layered Necklaces(Browse collection through nihaojewelry)

Give your ears a break and highlight your collarbones with layered necklaces, this season's go-to, statement-making jewelry. Starting with coin necklaces, the layered necklace trend has become an art that our favorite fashionistas have mastered.
For the beginners, you can start by using a coin necklace as your base. Keep in mind that length is key - make sure to layer chains of different lengths to give each one a time to shine.

Talisman Coin Necklace ($ 4920, Marlo Laz)

The String Diamond and Yellow-Gold Necklace ($3197, Orit Elhanati)

Pair this chain link necklace from Child of Wild ($58) with your pendants to nail that layered necklace look.

3. Tropics, Fruits, and Animal Inspired Jewelry

This season is all about making bold statements. Be it about mixing and matching different jewelry, prints that have people looking twice, and jewelry you thought you'd only see on catwalks.

These floral earrings from Zara ($26) had us daydreaming about sipping cocktails and sunsets by the beach.

Nothing says Prada like their statement banana earrings. ($505)

This show-stopper from Bottega Veneta is worth a whopping $4600. No butterflies were harmed during the making of this necklace.

4. Signet Ring

The signet ring, making its break in 2017, is definitely making a comeback this Winter/Autumn season. The signet ring, usually consisting of a flat surface with a monogram engraved into it, is now more eye-catching and as they say, more "bedazzled".  Just take a look at these rings from Noor Fares - wouldn't you want these on your fingers?

Anja Ring

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker. 

Coconut oil for beauty

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases. This claim has been widely disproved by the scientific community and it is now being hailed as one of world’s healthiest cooking oils. Though it may take time, perceptions are slowly changing as people are beginning to realize its tremendous benefits. Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like India (South) and Sri Lanka and even today coconut is indispensable in their diet. For now, let’s leave aside the health benefits and focus our attention on the beauty uses of this wonderful oil. South Indian women swear by it. They attribute their dense, long, raven black hair and a flawless , clear complexion to good genes and the liberal use of coconut oil in their diet and beauty regimen.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Simple ways of acquiring a clear & blemish free skin

It is not necessary to go to expensive beauty parlours or buy expensive creams and lotions to acquire a blemish free & clear complexion. A few homemade remedies are provided below which will serve the purpose equally well. Hope this will benefit the readers. 1. Always wash your face with mild soap so that the pores breathe fresh air. For a clear and attractive skin mix besan, turmeric (haldi), lemon and milk together. Make a paste. Apply it on the face. Let it dry. Wash with clean water.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.
