Zaya Jewelry Styles PreFall High Fashion

Candied reds and sweet blues coated the PreFall and Fall runways of the hottest names in Fashion.

Zaya Inc has some popular accessories to match these Fall colors and styles:

Max Azaria PreFall 2012
Maximize those azure blues and black lace by accessorizing with golds, blues, and blacks.
Compliment the length of the dress by keeping your accessories light weight and long.

Michael Kors PreFall 2012
This gorgeous dress can be accompanied with any length or weight of accessory. The bold black belt encourages chunky jewlery, but the length of the train (and your legs) could always be accentuated by a long chain necklace. Keep your colors simple--find a matching blue and own that chic modern taste of tiffany's.

Valentino PreFall 2012
This sultry candy-apple red looks simply put: luxurious.
The bold lines of the dress make your accessories more about your body type; long or short, black or white, but please keep it shiney! The texture of the dress might be overwhelming so find jewelry that maximized the exposure of your skin.

Chanel PreFall 2012
This sweet shade of red dominates the eastern-inspired couture cut of this Chanel ensemble.
These suggested accessories are long and simple. Gold and silver may not always match your outfit, but when you keep the color coordination of your clothes to a minimum--that gold and silver will help you channel your inner goddess.

Diane Von Furstenberg Ready to Wear Fall 2012
Vibrant blue and red with the bold accent of black will take you throughout the day from working hard to hardly working. The ingenious backslung turtle neck may not need any accessories at all--but it will definitely help you accentuate your front curves! The blue top is so dominating, try to stick with the bright red and bold black accents.

You can find all of this Zaya Inc Jewelry at any of the I Bar locations across California. The Zaya Inc Jewelry line will finally be accessible from their online store by the end of summer 2012.

4 Creative Ponytails

1. Hit snooze! Our best-on-damp-hair triple pony saves you blow-dry time. Make three tight ponies: one level with the top of ears, one level with the bottom of ears and one at the nape of your neck, says Neil Moodie, an editorial stylist for Bumble and Bumble in London, who created this look for Hervè Lèger by Max Azria's spring 2012 show. Lay the top pony over the middle pony, and wrap a hair bungee around the elastic of the second pony to fasten them together. Next, take those two ponies and secure them to the third in the same way. Done!


2. Fresh from a run or fresh out of bed, start by shampooing—squeaky-clean hair is key for this style. Next, work a volumizer through towel-dried hair and blow-dry with a round brush to build volume. When hair is dry, use a large curling iron to loosely curl your ends, says Sam McKnight, a global ambassador for Pantene in London, who created this sleek-on-top, soft-on-bottom look for Jaeger London's spring 2012 show. Then comb a part in line with the arch of one eyebrow, and tie hair into a low pony on the same side as your part. Now mimosas!


3.  Prep dry hair with a pea-sized amount of styling cream, then comb a slightly off-center part. Starting on the left side of your part, grab a 2-inch-thick section and roll it away from face, moving downward and gathering strands from your hairline as you go, says Nikki Ray, a senior stylist at Salon AKS in NYC, who showed us how to re-create the rolls from the Erickson Beamon spring 2012 show. Clip the coil at the base of your head, then repeat the roll on the right. After both sides are spiraled, pull out clips and secure pieces together with an elastic. Two days of cute hair? Check.


4. Pull hair into a tight pony that sits halfway up your head, says Guido, a creative consultant in New York City for Redken who worked his magic at the Marc by Marc Jacobs spring 2012 show. Slick is the trick to nailing this style. Run just lotioned hands over any frizzy spots. Then flip the tail toward the top of your head and clip it in place with a skinny barrette about 1 inch above the elastic. Loosely flip the remaining portion of the tail back down, and pin it with a second clip about an inch below the elastic, creating a bunlike pouf.

Now that you have some 2012 hairstyles to practice, its time to get that Celebrity Hair Care style from home!

All About Threading

Threading: The Perfect Hair Removal Technique

Before I tried threading, the perfect facial hair removal technique always felt so out of reach; at-home treatments are complicated and can burn or scar if you make a mistake while waxing and other spa treatments are expensive and leave blotchy red marks.

Threading seems to be the beauty secret that the whole world knows. It is inexpensive, fast, longer-lasting, and far less painful than most hair removal techniques. This ancient method of hair removal has so many names and origins, so why do we have so many questions about it?

Why Isnt Threading More Common?

First off, threading may be an ancient and common hair removal method, but in order for your local salon to provide threading, they have to hire a cosmetologist or aesthetician who is state-licenced to thread. Unfortunately it is still a relatively new hair removal technique in the western world and most American cosmetic colleges do not teach the threading procedure.

History
Threading is called 'khite' in Arabic and 'fatlah' in Egyptian. In ancient Persia, threading was a sign that a girl had reached adulthood and become a woman. Threading has been used in eastern countries for centuries and so the origin has become ambiguous.

How Does Threading Work?

Threading may seem like a simple or primitive hair removal method, but experienced technicians make it work beautifully. They begin with a loop of cotton thread that is about the thickness of dental floss [source: WebMD]. The practitioner holds one end of the 100% cotton thread in his or her teeth and the other in the left hand. The middle is looped through the index and middle fingers of the right hand. Then, they twist the loop to create a series of "knots" in the middle. Finally, practitioners move the twisted area rapidly back and forth across rows of unwanted hairs, trapping them at the root and removing them quickly and completely. No chemicals or other tools are needed

How is Threading Better?

Threading vs. Waxing, Tweezers, or Razors

Waxing, Tweezing & Razors	Threading
Waxing tends to burn, peel, and irritate the skin especially the skin around the eye.	Threading does not use chemicals or artificial waxes, so there is no burning, peeling or irritation, and is good for getting rid of in-grown hairs.
Repeated waxing increases the chances of wrinkles, especially around the sensitive eye area.	Threading can help pull out specific individual hair.
Tweezing and Razors increases the chances of in-grown hairs and cutting the skin.	Facial threading is a dermatologist approved alternative to waxing and tweezing, especially for sensitive skin people who are on Retin A and accutane. Threading is generally considered much less painful.
Waxing, Tweezing, and Razors all make facial hair grow back thicker and faster.	Eyebrow threading not only removes unwanted hair around your eyebrow but also helps to get a precise and defined eyebrow shape. Threading is more precise and the hair grows back thinner and slower.
For effective waxing, hair length needs to be at least 2/8".	For threading they can be as little as 1/8" in length and sometimes even less!!

Brooches add fun without adding a DIY mess. Humaira Beauty had some great tips on how to accessorize with brooches!

1. Wear them with a sharp blazer to keep the look young and fresh
2. If you're pinning it onto a jacket lapel, wear it on the left so that it's always over your heart <3
3. Change things up and place it somewhere unexpected, like at the center of a buttoned up collared shirt
4. Pin a sparkly brooch on a straw tote or summer purse for a special touch
5. Fasten a handful of brooches to a necklace for DIY statement necklace
6. Wear on in a pretty up-do or with tousled hair

61 Easy Ways to Lose Weight

A few years ago, one of my friends at Men's Health stepped on the scale and was horrified by the result. He'd somehow managed to pack 20 pounds of flab onto his previously skinny frame. When he looked into the mirror, he saw a fat guy staring back. He decided to make a change, quick. 
 

That day, he gave up his beloved soda. He was only drinking two or three bottles a day, but over the course of six months, he dropped those 20 pounds. It was a small change to his lifestyle -- no big deal, really. And yet, it had a massive impact on his health and his body.

My point: Making small decisions each day can result in big-time fat loss.





Below are dozens of simple ways to lose weight. Start with one -- today! -- and watch the weight begin to melt away. Trust me, this is going to be easier than you think.


1. Have a clear goal. It should be one that anyone in the world can measure and understand.

2. Drink tea. Research suggests that those who drink tea -- black, green, or white, as long as it’s from real tea versus herbal tea -- have lower BMIs and less body fat than those who don’t consume tea.
