Sexy Tattoo Girl

Good Tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good. 
Getting a tattoo is a sign of independence and many tattooed women are proud to show their independence by sharing their tattoos with the world. You should get your tattoo design from only the Amazing Tattoo Girl. Spark your imagination and start creating an amazing tattoo art piece for yourself with thousands of high-quality designs to download.
Girls can look really sexy with just the right tattoo on their ankle. Tattoos can be flirty and feminine, or tough and enticing. With the right design and placement, a tattoo can change your whole look to make you appear more exotic and beautiful. But not just any ankle tattoo is a good choice.
Here are our recommendations.
 
 
This lovely brunette´s name is Sella Heartbreaker and I´m sure she could perfectly honor her name and break my heart in to a million little pieces with that perfect tattoo she´s got. 
This is perhaps a tribute to her single of the same title, which unfortunately didn’t become as popular as she hoped it to be. And here I am thinking she had more trashy taste in tattoos. I say this is a classy choice.


When one first thinks of the famous burlesque dancer, Eve Scarllet, tattoos don't necessarily come to mind. But Eve has a little secret. She has one tattoo and it is very noticeable and out in the open. Almost no one until now knew it was a tattoo. Thank goodness for the tattoo artist she spoke to because he talked her out of that regretful tattoo and suggested she get something a little more timeless and elegant.
Eve's beauty mark tattoo is not the only tattoo she thought about getting when she was younger.

Girls not only want to have fun with their tattoos, they also used them to express themselves. A hibiscus flower on the shoulder blade perhaps, a cherry blossom tattoo on the foot or a cute butterfly on the hip; whatever art she chooses, it can definitely add to her trendy and sexy persona.

MORE SEXY PICTURE TO BE THE KING ART OF TATTOO GIRL :










These are just some of the tattoo designs that would still look beautiful and interesting even if they are tattooed on a miniature scale. They are best when inked on small areas of the body such as foot, ankle, wrist, upper back, and even lower back and shoulder blade.

Diamond Engagement Rings: Historical Fact

There is no doubt in the fact that women simply love and adore diamonds. Irrespective of the form of jewelry it accompanies, they love this rare and stunningly beautiful stone beyond words. Be it diamond rings, diamond earrings, diamond pendants, diamond bracelets or diamond necklaces, every piece of diamond jewelry is something a woman cherishes forever. 1.2-Carat-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-and-Wedding-Band-Set-in-14K-White-Gold_DRW16380_Reg
But in spite of a countless options in diamond jewelry her favorite is surely her sparkling diamond engagement ring and not without reason. Diamond engagement rings are the most popular and traditional form of engagement rings that have continued to win over the hearts of women through the centuries with their irresistible shimmer and endless beauty. But have you ever stopped to think how the immaculate diamond engagement rings came to be so popular and the history behind this highly coveted and special piece of jewelry.
Let’s start by telling you that the very first diamond engagement ring was presented to Mary of Burgundy in the year 1477 by Archduke Maximillian of Austria as a promise of marriage and this soon became a trend amongst the wealthy. ArRound-Diamond-Fashion-Band-in-14k-White-Gold_GRW48062_Regound 1870, with the discovery of mines in South Africa diamonds became a lot more accessible to people who started giving away diamond engagement rings as a sign of betrothal. This was also the time that the conglomerate De Beers was formed who ensured that diamonds reached the desired market destinations.
When Depression struck in the late 1930s and the market for diamonds was abysmally low Sir Ernest Oppenheimer of De Beers sent his team to New York and that is where the famous punch line ‘A Diamond is Forever’ was conceived. This triggered the use of diamonds in engagement rings and diamond engagement rings came to be the most desirable versioWhite-and-Brown-Diamond-Designer-Fashion-Band-in-10K-White-Gold_GRW58473_Regn.
Talking of the history of diamond engagement rings another interesting fact that deserves mention is the smallest engagement ring that was ever given. This happened in the year 1518 when the two year old daughter of Henry VIII, Mary was given the tiny engagement ring set with a diamond on the occasion of her betrothal to the infant Dauphin pf France who happened to be the son of King Francis I.
The highly sought after diamond solitaire engagement ring that women simply worship these days was introduced some time in the late nineteenth century. These diamond solitaire rings are the most popular and sought after variation of diamond engagement rings and needless to say are highly prized for their stark yet startling beauty.

Most Popular Engagement Ring Styles

Engagement Rings are perhaps the most cherished jewelry that a girl wears. It is something that she would look each day for the rest of her life with fond memories. For something so important, you would definitely want to make it right. Below are some of the most popular and the most classic styles of engagement rings.    
Diamond Solitaire Engagement Rings  1.7-Carat-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-and-Wedding-Band-Set-in-14K-White-Gold_DRW17021_RegThere might be hundreds of stunning designs available in the market, but when it comes to engagement rings nothing comes even close to diamond solitaire engagement rings. Diamond solitaire rings are a classic when it comes to engagement rings, they have a timeless beauty and grace that no other piece of jewelry can match.
However, in diamond solitaire ring itself there is wide variety to choose from. The diamond shape, the setting type and the metal type that you choose can give your diamond ring a completely different identity and style. Round, oval and princess are the most popular of the shapes; prong and bezel are the most popular setting type; white gold, platinum and yellow gold are the most popular metal types.
Three stone Engagement Ring 2.3-Carat-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-and-Wedding-Band-Set-in-14K-White-Gold_DRW17139_RegAlso known as past, present and future ring; the ring is held symbolic of a couple’s time spent together. The ring is a beautiful combination of style and elegance. Three stone rings also come in a large array of deigns. A typical three stone ring would have all three stones diamonds, of same shape and preferably round. But then you can obviously play with the stone shape and setting to give it your personal touch. Another popular style of three stone rings has the center stone slightly larger than the other two. In this style the side stone can be different than the center stone, for example you can have the center stone as sapphire of ruby and diamond for the side stone.
Colored Gemstone Ring with Diamond Border
Another very popular style of engagement ring is one with colored gemstone at the center bordered with diamonds. One such famous engagement ring was that of Princess Diana. The ring had a huge oval blue sapphire at the center which was surrounded by 14 round diamonds. These types of rings have an inimitable grandeur to them. The big three, that is, ruby, sapphire and emerald are the most common choices for the center stones in such rings. These rings work great for people who like to have colors in their jewelry. A great stunner, the ring is sure to sweep your girl off her feet.

DIAMONDS (AND PEARLS, AND SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL, AND...) ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND

There's something about With Love Bridal that keeps us coming back...

Could it be the beautiful boutique style shop? The fabulous selection of consignment and brand new designer dresses? Or maybe it's the owners, Becky and Dana, who work so hard to ensure your experience at With Love is beyond exceptional?

Of course these are all great reasons why Viva is in love with With Love but let's be honest, it's the jewelry that keeps us coming back for more. Staying true to their goal of offering brides a unique and personalized shopping experience, the jewelry With Love carries is all hand crafted by local Ottawa area artists.

Viva's brides already know and love the talented
Sarah Walsh who has been one of our preferred makeup artists for years, but Sarah's talent doesn't stop there. Sarah also designs stunning jewelry using freshwater pearls, swarovski crystal, sterling silver, and gold. Perfect for the bride (and bridal party) on her wedding day!

Another one of our favourites are the city inspired pieces
Urbanite Jewelry creates using colours and materials (precious metals, wood, and glass) to help bring out each city's personality. These pieces are so unique. Truly one of a kind.

Along with Something Jeweled by Sarah Walsh and Urbanite Jewelry, you can also find designs created by Frash Femme, Seven15, and Sanddesigns.

The best part about all this jewelry is that you don't have to be a bride to buy it, which I guess is why we keep finding excuses to pop into With Love when ever we can. Whether you're looking for some sparkle to spice up that little black dress you're planning on wearing to an upcoming Christmas/New Year's Eve party or simply on a hunt for something a little more "everyday", there's a piece (or two) for everyone.

And what perfect timing is this? With Love Bridal Boutique is having a jewelry show this Sunday, December 5th from 10am to 2pm. We'll see you there!!

Ideas for getting the Engagement Ring Engraved

An engagement ring is a very special piece of jewelry that holds a great deal of meaning and significance in a woman’s life. It is true that every woman holds this particular piece of jewelry really close to her heart and irrespective of the way it looks she treasures her sapphire engagement rings for as long as she lives. However there are certain engagement rings that with a personal and exceptional touch look not only beautiful but become even more significant.
So if you are planning to surprise your sweetheart with an extraordinary engagement ring, make sure you add that extra something that will add to its symbolism. With a little engraving on the ruby engagement rings not only will you communicate your heartfelt love for her but will also add a unique and personal touch to the ring making it even more cherished for your beloved.
The most obvious engravings would be your darling’s name or her initials. You can even add to that the date you first met or any other special date that you both share. Needless to mention the simple words ‘I love you’ would also be perfect as an engagement ring engraving for it communicates in the most basic words how very much she means to you.
Something really romantic would be a phrase or a few words from a love song, but here’s one thing that you must keep in mind, there is not much text that a ring engraving can accommodate so it has to be something that is short and precise. You can even have the special name you call her by engraved and trust me this is something that is sure to light up her face every time she steals a glance at her favorite engagement ring.
Symbols without saying much can still manage to communicate a great deal and in the case of an engagement ring engraving what can possibly be more suitable than a the symbol of a heart. Get a heart symbol engraved on the engagement ring and an even better idea would be to engrave her initials or both your initials right at the center of the heart. Don’t forget women are die hard romantics and an act like this is sure to steal her very heart away.
Now that you have al the wonderful engagement ring ideas make sure you put them to the right use and see your love bask in sheer joy.

Price William popped the question with his mother Princess Diana Engagement Ring

Just the day before we were talking about Princess Diana’s Engagement Ring. And, now this ring is back in news.
Prince William finally asked her long time girlfriend Kate Middleton and that too with his mother’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
Prince William's Engagement
The ring was given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles in 1981.
Princess Diana's engagement ring
Since this news there have been so many discussions on twitter and other social networks whether the prince should have proposed with a different ring as the ring brings back some not so fond memories.
Prince Williams said, “It was my way of making sure that my mother didn’t miss out on today.”
Fair enough, we would say! The couple is being hoped to tie the knot in summer next year.

BEHOLD, THE CARDIGAN!

A winter bride's wedding attire wouldn't be complete without a luxurious white faux fur cape draped over her shoulders. But what’s a November bride to do who’s not looking for the winter wedding look, yet still needs to stay warm (and stylish) on those cool November days? Wear a cardigan of course! Not only will a cardigan help keep you warm, it adds that punch of colour so many brides are looking to add to their wedding day wardrobe.

Adding colour to a bride’s traditional white wedding attire is not a new trend but something that we’ve seen, in different forms, for years. It began with the dyed crinoline. Next, we tossed aside the typical white wedding shoe and brighly coloured chic & sassy designer footwear took their place - often symbolizing the bride’s “something blue”. Now... Behold, the cardigan! Viva loves this fun look!!

Engagement rings – Say it with a diamond

An engagement ring.
Rings have been worn by man for centuries. Gemstone rings have been worn for their mesmerizing beauty symbol, as a symbol of power, of social status, as birthstones, for the power that they bestow on their wearer.
Diamond Engagement Rings are special. They are something ever girl awaits for her entire life. It is a beautiful band of eternity that suggests that wearer is engaged to be married.
One of the earliest records of engagement ring comes from the year 1477 when Archduke Maxmilian of Austria presented Mary of Burgundy with a diamond engagement ring. It is said that Mary married him within 24 hours and that started a tradition that has now become a vital part of many cultures.
There could never be a better, more classic, more romantic stone for an engagement ring than the brilliant diamond. Diamonds have fascinated men for ages. However, until the discovery of Diamond mines in Brazil, South Africa in early eighteenth century, diamonds were a luxury of only the aristocracies.
Why only engagement ring? 1.7-Carat-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-and-Wedding-Band-Set-in-14K-White-Gold_DRW18155_Reg
One often wonders why it is only a ring that one wears for engagement or wedding. Well, it is because a circle or the ring is symbolic of continuity, eternity, unity, peace, for it has no beginning and it has no end.
Engagement rings come in wide range of variety. Here is a description of some of the most popular ones-
Solitaire rings – Diamond solitaire rings are the most classic way to propose a girl. It will surely make any girl again fall in love with you. There are many shapes that one could choose for the solitaire rings, but nothing can beat the grandeur of a round brilliant cut or a princess cut diamond rings.
Diamond flower ring – Now you don’t have to choose between saying it with flowers or saying it with diamonds. This ring says it all.
Three stone rings – Three stone rings have recently become very popular as engagement rings. Each stone in this ring is reflective of a couple’s past, present and future together. Given their simple design these rings are loved by one and all.
