Fall is here!
What time is it? The correct answer is "NOW" - it always is, always will be.
Being in a business where I am thinking of and designing for Fall and Winter in the heat of the summer, I tend to lose track of this. I think we all do. And by always rushing ahead, I think we rush away our lives. I don't know about you, but my life is flying by fast enough, let's not rush it any more than it already is!
And here in the New York City area, it really is such a beautiful time of year! The evenings are cooler, the sun is still strong, the kids are back in school, let's enjoy it!
So, rather than rush you into the holidays with all I have planned for you (suffice it to say that there will be plenty of fun new beads and designs like the ones shown here and lots of cool new stamp pendants like the Israeli one below!), I will let you know a bit about the events and jewels now ready for the Fall and then let's just savor this season!
Take a deep breath of the fresh, crisp Fall air, Smile and Enjoy! |

The Care and Cleaning of Handcrafted Jewelry
A new web page!
This past month, in a magazine that I really do respect and enjoy, there was yet another article on how you should store your jewelry out on 'display'
I am sure you have seen this article or others like it. They suggest hanging your jewelry out 'on display' as a way to enjoy it, to use it as a decoration in your dressing room or to save space by hanging it on a bedroom wall. What they often fail to mention is that any piece of jewelry with sterling silver beads, findings or clasps should be kept in an airtight container to avoid tarnish!
In an effort to protect your jewelry, and to save that which may already be damaged, I have added a page to the website http://www.lisamariediasdesigns.com/CareandCleaning.html explaining how to clean and care for fine Handcrafted Jewelry. I have also included storage suggestions as proper storage is really the key to avoiding tarnish in the first place. Please surf by and see what you can do to keep your jewelry beautiful for many years to come!
If you visit the webpage, you will see one customer's unique storage solution that I really liked. If you have or know of any other fun, unique storage solutions that you would like to share, please send them (preferably an image if you have one!) to LMD@LisaMarieDiasDesigns.com and we will post it on the webpage and in the newsletter.
And please, let's keep the jewels stored safely when they are not on display, on YOU! |

Fall Fashion Trends
How to Find Your Own Style
by Kerry Cordero
A new suit and some dresses can be your basic building blocks to create a fabulous look for Fall. Add a few key accessories and you'll be all set!
For a look that is on trend, pair colored tights with peep-toe heels. Belt a cardigan over a dress and add a colorful or embellished hat. Look for plaids in jackets and pants and geometric print dresses and wear them with high contrast color to make a bold statement. To ground the look, use a basic and slimming color such as black or brown for the tights or a slim layering tee. A pair of sturdy boots with same colored tights will do the same. Wear a belt with a parka to slim it and mark your waist.
Or for classic style that's up to date, look for a suit that comes with a cropped jacket or a long car coat in a neutral brown or charcoal. Add some texture with a cozy sweater and wear a thin belt at your natural waist. When wearing volume, tone it down with slim pants or add heels for height. Look for pieces that have beautiful but unique buttons, portrait collars, delicate patterns in unusual places such as at the lapel, or intricate constructions and marvelous fabrics.
And use long necklaces and dangle earrings to lengthen the look, bold colored or textured stones to add uniqueness, and remember to set off your neckline and shoulders with a necklace that draws attention to your face.
If you would like us to help you find some fabulous pieces to complement your new Fall look, please surf by the site, (www.LisaMarieDiasDesigns.com) visit a show, give us a call, or set up an appointment - we can certainly help you create your own uniquely beautiful Fall look! |
