The look completely compliments the man and shows off his inner sense of self worth and neatness.

Ankara Fashion for Women


The Ankara Fashion has been trending for a while now and everybody seems to be embracing it with zeal and excitement. African Prints have never been so popular as they are right now. They are bolder and more colorful than they were before. In Africa for instance printed outfits were mostly seen to be for the older generation because they had a similar and almost boring design. Today with fashion designers being more younger they have started reinventing this famous bold print. The fashion has become more youth friendly and suits their needs which is to look stylish, elegant yet comfortable. The Ankara print has dominated the fashion seen and it has even in influenced some of the top international designers to create outfits out of this bold colorful print from Africa. With the Ankara fashion, you can go as simple or as wild as you like. Mix the prints and be adventurous, wear a single print or mix and match with a plain colored top or bottom. The possibilities of the Ankara Print Fashion are endless, just have fun and show the world your inner fashion sense. Sample some styles that you can be inspired with.

How to Layer Jewelry



Pile It On
Is there such a thing as much too much? Not if you follow our simple guide to layering necklaces and bracelets.
By Samantha Schoengold Beranbom
Bracelets
A beautiful sculptural cuff is totally chic on its own, but adding links, bangles, or beads makes the look really modern.
Use Color as the Anchor
For instance, it's the bold black of the cuff, which every other piece relates back to.
Mix High-Contrast Styles
…like earthy beads, mother-of-pearl bangles, and a rhinestone wrap bracelet -- because the bracelets are all similar sizes, they work in perfect harmony.
Let Your Metals Mingle
…using clean, graphic shapes to pull the look together. The result is very of-the-moment. Signature engraved bangles,
Layering Necklaces
Yes, delicate chains go with chunky beads, and you can wear silver with gold. Break all the old fashion rules and layer different styles for a bunch of brand-new looks.
Make a Simple Color Story
…with elements like black, silver, and rhinestone; one vibrant color (here it's red) creates an eye-catching contrast.
Partner Big and Bold Jewels
...with that fancy dress -- just be sure they lie at different lengths so each one stands out.
Layer Delicate Pieces
...like a personal charm necklace, a strand of stones, and crystal beads -- it's a sweet and pretty combination.

The difference in the outfits is usually how each one accessorized the outfit. Either with jewelry, shoes or even a handbag. So here goes some pics of celebs who wore the same outfit but differently accessorized. Question is WHO WORE IT BEST?

Louis Vuitton Condoms, Designed By Irakli Kiziria,


You've heard of top-notch bedding and lingerie brands, but is there room in bed for another designer?
One artist seems to think so.
Georgia Republic architect Irakli Kiziria has designed a Louis Vuitton condom, enveloped in the label's notorious brown packaging and adorned with what looks like raised lettering (for enhanced pleasure, we can only assume). The luxury rubbers are priced at $68 each, according to the "official" website. (Scroll below for photos.)
To put the price in perspective, $68 could buy you about six 12-packs of regular condoms.
But before you head to your nearest Louis Vuitton retailer, you should know the condoms aren't available in stores. (Bummer, right?)
In fact, Kiziria has no affiliation with the Louis Vuitton company and drafted the condoms in collaboration with Design Provocation as a design-project, according to the website. The team hoped to launch the product on World AIDS Day and donate the proceeds to amfAR, The Foundation For AIDS Research.
