Fabulous 40's

Sitting in a warm restaurant, sipping hot tea and having a fine chit chat with a friend of mine that works in the retail/fashion industry.  She brought up some incredible points about women that I would like to share with you.

These days the lines have been crossed on how old or how young an outfit or style is.  We have young elementary or middle school girls wearing short mini skirts with tall boots and low cut tops, we have older women buying items at teen clothing stores by the bundles and it seems like more and more women are asking, Am I really too old for this?

With the understandings of non-judgment and youth serums it seems silly for us to stick with the 'old' standards of how older women should dress, behave and look.  I still think children in school are too young to try to look like they are in their 20's, they aren't mature enough to understand the consequences of older men looking their way.  However, older women are seasoned in the workings of men and have earned their right to stay sexy well into their golden years.  Why would we want to stop the turning of this new tide anyways.  Isn't it nice to know that you can remain sexy and womanly beyond the years of what society in the past has deemed sexy or beautiful? 

I say that this is the year to stop worrying if you are 'too old' to wear this outfit or that jewelry.  It is time we all learn to really connect with our inner selves and wear what makes us feel truly happy, healthy, vibrant and young.  I feel if we really connect with our true selves, and not try to impress others, we will find that our fashion shines regardless if we got it in juniors or the 'old lady' shop down the street.  It is what is inside of you that helps the outfit show your true personality. Add color, add chunky watches, add flair - adorn yourself with the fun stuff that is attractive to YOU and for goodness sake - don't try to look like an airbrushed computer generated model in the magazines - that isn't real and it isn't truly attractive.  Women are NOT products and we need to start seeing that.  We are amazing Angels in Disguise with spunk and personality and we should be allowed to dress as such - even after society tells us otherwise.

Just because society says its true usually means it isn't.

Enjoy the flair of Beautiful Beads Watches at any age and have fun!

Gobble up the Holidays

It's that time again - holidays.  It can either be your favorite time or the most stressful time of the year. It's difficult to know when to start shopping, where to get the best deals, what to get Aunt Edna and Uncle Frank - I mean they already have everything don't they? 

So this year I am opting for something unique, handmade (but handmade by someone else because really, who has the time anymore right?)  If you are in this same boat, and by studying surveys and statistics chances are you are, then you are in luck my friend.  I have several hand made gifts just for you!   Here are a few pictures of them, however, I can custom create your own Beautiful Beads Watch or bracelet for that someone special - I can even make one that Aunt Edna has never owned :)

Happy Holidays and God Bless

Fashionable Texas

I just finished the "Heart of Texas Arts and Crafts show" last weekend in Texas. Most everyone knows about the watches in Utah, but in Texas that's a different thing. Had lots of fun educating women about the interchangable watches.

It got me thinking and wondering why would more women in Utah know about the watches then in Texas?   And then I remembered the richness of arts and crafts in Utah.  It is wonderful to me to see all of the creativity of women, especially in Utah where they are not only usually taught by their parents, but also by their community.

I'm so grateful to be a part of such an amazing place.  

Until next 'time'

The Power of Pink

I am still in Texas having a great time with family and friends and making more and more unique Beautiful Beads Watches.  I was so inspired with all of the Breast Cancer Awareness going on this month I decided to make several pink watches.   What a great time I had making them in honor and in memory of those that have passed away from Breast Cancer and those who continually and courageously fight against it. 

Everywhere I go people can spot the pink watches and instently recognize their value and worth as part of the 'pink' movement in October.  I find hope and joy in knowing so many people are joining forces and combining efforts in order to help find a cure, not only for breast cancer, but for all cancer that effects our daily lives.

As soon as I get a picture of the watches I will forward it on to you - that is if I haven't sold them all before then.

Taking a stand with Pink,

The New Look for 2010

Beaded is The New Look for 2010

The reports are in—beaded jewelry is the new look for 2010!  And if you want to make a bold statement this season, there are a few things you will want to know about the new fashion jewelery.

How To Wear Your New Beaded Watches

The trick to wearing beaded watches is basically, you don’t want your accessories to overpower your outfit.  Some ladies run out the door with huge chunky watches with lots of color and their outfits have several busy prints and patterns as well.  This makes them a walking distraction - too much to see all at once.  In order to get that classic, pulled together fun look with the punch of WOW you are looking for, you will want to keep your clothing simple and use your beaded watch to pull it all together. Also, try to avoid accessory overkill. Instead, you can keep things balanced by choosing one or two pieces of beaded jewelry that will compliment your outfit.

Shopping!

With the Beautiful Beads Watches, you can be sure your watch will be symmetrical and hand crafted - meaning you wont be with other women who all have the same watches on.   With our custom designing available, it will be easy to find the perfect set of  beads for any occasion or outfit. We carry a wide selection of beads, watches and watch faces. We also offer many combination sets which allow you purchase some of our most popular beaded watches at fantastic prices!
