Debutante balls or better known in Australia as Deb Balls are a dying tradition, but that does not mean it is not still being celebrated. This is a time where girls in Year 11 and 12, dress up in beautiful white gowns similar to that of a wedding dress and have their hair and face made up. Tiaras are a huge thing with deb balls. It has become a staple but unlike those for wedding, they are usually slightly smaller and more delicate. The simple yet effective design on this Blue Diamante Tiara will go perfectly with your white debutante dress. Pick a simple dress with a boat neck neckline and tie your hair up in a half up-do, with curls cascading down, all around.

Im one of those people who likes to start my Christmas shopping early for two simple reasons.  First, I am not a crowd person.  The very thought of going out to shop on Black Friday brings shudders instead of a thrill to me.  Second, Ive learned that by starting my holiday shopping ahead of time, I put more thought into the gift Im giving.  In other words, I dont just get something, Ive taken the time to find a gift that suits the person Im giving it to.  One of the first on my shopping list is my mother.  My mom loves jewelry, but over the years shes amassed quite a collection.  Finding a piece of jewelry shell like that is unique from what she already has, is not such an easy task.  Personalized jewelry is an ideal gift for any mother.   Women like jewelry, and having the opportunity to show off her love, her kids, or her grand-kids at the same time, makes it the perfect gift.  Women having been wearing mothers rings for generations, and they are always a cherished favorite.  Now-a-days, however, the concept of family jewelry has expanded beyond these rings,  There are now family bracelets, necklaces, and broaches that sport birthstones representing all loved ones.  There is also engraved gold and silver jewelry in a variety of styles that allow for personalization.  Hearts can be personalized with the names of boyfriends or spouses; connecting puzzle pieces can list children and grandchildren; silver and gold ovals can mark special events.  Personalized jewelry is sure to become a special memento for the women on your holiday list.

Summer Rayne Oakes

I happened upon one of the “How I Wear Eco Fashion” posts here on Eco Chick mid-March to find a woman named Summer Rayne Oakes. With her deep-rooted passion and awesome sense of sustainable fashion, I knew I needed to ask her just how she does it all, and never seems to have a hair out of place. I couldn’t make it to her place to browse her odd collection (more on that later), but I did have the loveliest of chances for an email interview.

Eco Chick: I’m a junior in school and I find what you do completely inspiring. What would you tell aspiring environmentalists, journalists and eco-fashion lovers?

Obsession of the Week: Citrine by the Stones Wonder Woman Cuff

Behold, the perfect cuff.

I like to think of the Gold Cuff as a wardrobe power piece equivalent to the Little Black Dress. I cant think of a single woman who wouldnt benefit from a sleek cuff like this one in her jewelry rotation. Slip it on with anything from a printed maxi dress to a pantsuit, and instantly your outfit will look exponentially more pulled together.
