If you are a truly fashionable man, you will look your best and dress to the nines even if it is winter. Bracing for the onslaught of wild winter weather with hats, gloves, sweaters, and scarfs is rough stuff but it is indeed a great time to showcase how much of a stylish guy you are. Staples like jeans and wool sweaters are absolutely a must but it does not have to be limited to only these clothes because you can actually have more choices to include into your fashion repertoire during winter. Cashmere and wool tweeds are ideal if you want to look more formal or put together.

If you want a more casual look, go for wool men’s sweaters and layer them with cotton collared cotton shirts or turtlenecks paired with jeans or cotton khakis. Vests are the ultimate layering piece. Throw it over a sweater to keep your limbs covered. Stick with a classic winter hat like basic ski caps, fedoras, newsboy hats, and bowlers. You can also put on overcoats like leather bomber jackets, leather car coat, and oversize puffer jacket like padded and quilted jackets. For a sporty look, keep in mind that your clothes should be both fashionable and functional. The materials of which should protect from extreme weather conditions.

Celebrity style: Diamonds and Beyond

by admin

Jewellery expert Vashi Dominguez holds an exceptional title of “Ring Master” & “Jeweller to the Stars” that makes him the most sought after man in the diamond industry.

Back in 2000, Vashi secured his first diamond deal and started trading diamonds. By 2007, shortly after he expanded his business in Europe, he then opened his website www.Vashi.com to share his business online. Throughout 2012 and 2013 he had been featured in numberous TV segments, Press as well as publications. This year with his expertise and extraordinary collection, he had been styling and dazzling celebrities from the likes of Kara Tointon who was spotted at the Grand Prix Ball wearing 1 million worth of diamonds (July 2014).

In September 2014 celebrities dazzle in Vashi diamonds at Elton John’s annual End of summer party. Also in September, Rita Ora flaunted a glittering couture gown (with over half a million pounds worth of diamonds by her personal London jeweller Vashi) in the GQ Men of the year awards. He is also the name behind celebrities like Paula Lane, Alicia Keys, Isla Fisher, Cheryl Cole and more.

Vashi.com offers a wide range of selection from engagement rings, wedding rings, necklaces, bracelets and even earrings. Through his site, everyone can now avail the most popularized settings and design that is set to make heads turn. Just like the Royal ring by Kate Middleton, the “Diamond and Blue Sapphire Ring” that is valued at £300,000 and can purchased with Vashi’s site for only £999.

Vashi Dominguez is well known to reject 9 out 10 to deliver only the finest of all diamonds basing it from the 4 C’s – carat weight, cut, clarity and color.

Carat Weight – a diamonds size determines its weight from fraction of a carat to several carats. Large stones are considered rare; therefore, a single stone of a two carat diamond will cost way more than two or four stones that make up a two-carat diamond.

Cut – determines a diamonds ability to reflect light pear and glimmer. It’s not about the shape (oval, circle, marquis). The way a diamond had been cut is what determines it sparkle.

Clarity – a diamonds overall appearance involves numerous scratches and blemishes. The lesser the blemishes are, the better the clarity of the stone will be. All of which are unavoidable as it is the result of carbon exposed to tremendous heat and pressure deep within the earth.

Color – the absence of a color is what increases the value of a diamond. The perfect diamond has no hue and as pure as a droplet of water.

With all this in mind, make sure to check out the rest of Vashi’s collection and dress up and get styled just like the stars.

The Importance of Translation

The internet has brought about many benefits. Not only has it been a major means of communication, connecting people from across the globe but it has enabled businesses to go global by connecting with customer groups in different countries. Inspite of this, language barrier remains a factor for businesses to not reach more people. Many countries still prefer to use their local dialect when communicating. Here is where translation comes in. It bridges the gap by bringing people of different languages and culture together to communicate effectively.

We can clearly see the major role of translation services in business. An efficient translation services company can help businesses reach out to markets other than the English speaking ones. Most people in China, Mexico, and Brazil, which are developing markets, do not know how to speak English so there really is a big need for translation. Another importance of translation is that novels, text books, manuals etc. need to be translated to different languages so they can be read and understood by people in other countries.

Translation services is also essential when you have an online business and you want to cater to countries other than your own. The contents of your website has to be translated into various languages for your potential clients to comprehend what you are selling and for them to know other information about your business. Translation also plays a big role in terms of technical texts and specific dialect. It helps convert technical documents into different languages enabling readers in various locations understand jargons better in their native language. Translation also has had a big effect in tourism because it has allowed people from one country to understand and enjoy the beauty and culture of another country. There are many companies that offer translation services, such as Rosetta Translation which has particular expertise in legal, financial, technical and life sciences translation.

Diamonds for Her (or Just for You)

by admin

Diamonds make a great gift at this time of year. They express feelings that there are no real words for, so finding the right ring is important. This can be done based on several different categories including:

  • Shape
  • Carat
  • Style

It is important to understand all three of these categories before making a decision about a ring, so make sure you get some education on diamonds.

Shape

The shape of the diamond has a lot to do with the personality of the person who will wear it. There are a few basic shapes for diamonds:

  • Round/pillow. This is a very simple and classic round stone. With round, the only way to get unique is with a good setting around the stone.
  • Princess. This stone is also very classic, with a square shape and particular cut.
  • Heart. There aren’t a lot of ways to cut this shape, but there doesn’t have to be. A heart can say a lot about a relationship in stunning ways, but it may not be the best fit if you’re shopping for yourself.
  • Pear. This is also a teardrop shape. The uniqueness of the shape offers a wide variety of brilliant and beautiful settings.
  • Marquise. The oblong shape, like the pear, offers a variety of unique settings.
  • Emerald. This rectangular stone can be put into a number of settings. Generally they are best if you’re willing to splurge a little on a larger stone and small diamond settings around it.

Shape is different than cut in a very subtle way. Cut determines not just the shape of the diamond, but the way the diamond is cut all around in order to get the best brilliance.

Carat

Most savvy shoppers know that the carat is the size of the diamond. Some forsake color and clarity for carat, preferring a larger stone. Before making the decision on getting a big stone, remember that the brilliance of the diamond has little to do with the size.

Diamonds that have good clarity (less flawed) typically have better color as well. The larger the diamond gets, the harder it is to get flawless color and clarity. Basically, a smaller diamond may have a more brilliant shine. Also, larger diamonds are harder to come by, so the cost increases significantly as the size does.

If you’re shopping for a bride, don’t choose a larger, rough diamond for her finger. Consider tips from Forbes on choosing the right size diamond.

Style

While the shape and the carat of the ring are important, the style of the setting is where personal flare comes into play, whether for yourself or someone else. When shopping for diamonds, keep these styles in mind:

  • Solitaire. This is the classic diamond on a simple band. There are no designs or stones to set it off. All of the focus is on the centerpiece of the ring: the diamond.
  • 3-Diamond: As the name implies, this ring has three diamonds on a simple band. Typically it is one larger stone with two smaller ones on either side.
  • Accent: There are a variety of different settings for this style. Typically the one large stone is the centerpiece, with diamond chips along the band to accent the color.
  • Halo: Again, there are a variety of different settings for this style. The difference between halo and accent is that the diamond chips are also set in a ring around the main diamond, as well as the band.

Keep all of these in mind, and you can find the right diamond to fit your style.
