Lauren C. — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:38:57 +0000

Started in 1989, Haurex Italy is a relatively new watch brand that commands a lot of respect in the business of keeping time. Haurex is known for the bold faces that capture current trends, expert craftsmanship and precision in construction. They may be the new kid on the block, but they have studied the details that go into creating a timepiece and realize that the balance of all those screws and springs that work behind the scenes creates more than something that tells time – Haurex elevated the watch to artwork by infusing the best watch making practices and adding their own special dash of creativity to the design, which makes them all stand out from the crowd.

In Italy, Haurex is one of the top 10 fashion accessories and has become a status symbol. It’s not just because they are expertly made, it again goes back to the design of the face and band that makes them so special. They’re cutting edge, without being overly trendy. They’re sophisticated, but aren’t boring. These are watches that also come with a lot of interactive gadgets that are just plain cool. Found in luxury stores around the world, Haurex has become a favorite because they deliver time, fashion and precision in their timepieces.

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Lauren C. — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:08:11 +0000

Valentine’s Day is quickly sneaking up on us and it’s time to start looking for that perfect gift. It’s not always an easy task finding something for your sweetie that shows the depths of your love and captures her style all at the same time. But let’s face it guys, women love jewelry. If your lady said she doesn’t love jewelry, she’s lying. All women, of every shape, size and color, love gems and jewels and you can never go wrong with them as a gift. Take the pressure off of finding that perfect something for your special someone by following these simple rules:

Simple Rules To Picking Out the Perfect Gift:

Does she want a ring, necklace, bracelet or earrings?

#1: Look at the jewelry she already owns. Does she wear necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings? This is very particular for each women and as most ladies have one particular type of jewelry that they gravitate towards. Start scooping out what she already wears. If she puts on a pair of earrings every day, she’ll love a new set (just make sure to note if her ears are pierced or not). If she has a collection of rings, that means she REALLY LIKES them and wants more. Take a look at what she puts on day-to-day and pick a jewelry type that she has an affection towards. If she doesn’t wear jewelry on a daily basis, think about a time you got dressed up and remember what type of jewelry she was wearing. If she wore a necklace last time you got dolled up for a night out, chances are good she’ll love another.

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 1:

(Luca Carati! Luxurious Ring Made in Italy with 2.86ctw Super Clean Diamonds Made of 18K Two Tone Gold)

Will she wear it?

#2: Think about what’s practical for her. If your lady has a job that requires her to run around all day, she’ll want something that isn’t heavy or that has lots of frills that will cling-and-clang all day. If she has a job that allows her to wear jeans and a t-shirt to work, she’ll want something that compliments her casual fashion. If she has an office job and gets dressed up every day, she’ll want something that is more noticeable. Think about the type of environment she spends her day in and then apply some common sense!

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 2:

(Giorgio Visconti Brand New Earrings made in Italy With Precious Stones – Genuine Super Clean Diamonds and 7mm Akoya Pearls. Made in 18K White Gold.)

What’s her style?

#3: There are 2 distinct types of jewelry out there: flashy jewelry and classic jewelry. Which type your woman wears depends entirely on her personality. If she’s the life-of-the-party, typically wears loud-colored clothing and has an affinity for things that are outrageous, you’re safe with assuming she likes flashy jewelry. This is a piece that will get her noticed. It is unique, large, brightly-colored and stands out. This is a piece that will pass the 10 second rule- someone will notice it on her in the first 10 seconds they look at her.

If your woman is more reserved, tends to be minimalists in all she does and her style can be defined as casual, get her something that is classic. This is something that is elegant and not worn as a focal point. These are jewels that are smaller in size, not brightly colored and tend to be more understated. Think about her personality and incorporate all those wonderful qualities that make you love her so much into picking out her piece.

Bidz-Favorite Valentine Day Pick 3:

(ZYDO Brand New Heart Necklace Made in Italy With 101.93ctw Precious Stones – Genuine Rubies and Corals Beautifully Crafted in 18K White Gold. Total item weight 68.5g – Certificate Available.)

And ladies, if you’re reading this and want to buy your man something, just apply the simple rules to your guy – and voila! You’ve got the perfect gift! Best of luck to you all and wishing everyone a very happy and loving Valentine’s Day! For more Gift Ideas Click Here

Lauren C. — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:01 +0000

Calvin Klein is one of the most recognizable names in the world and is best known for his jeans and provocative ads. Starting out with humble roots, Calvin Klein started out as a simple coat shop in 1968 in the York Hotel in New York City. Urban myth states that a buyer from the now defunct Bonwit Teller accidentally stumbled on Klein’s shop when getting off the wrong floor at his hotel and ended up placing an order for $50,000. World fashion domination was soon to follow with his trademark minimalist fashions, a roster of celebrity clients and critical acclaim. By the early 80s, Calvin Klein brand was a household name.

The advertising campaigns of Calvin Klein may be just as exciting as the clothes that come down the runway. Brooke Shields famously quipped in the 80s “want to know what comes between me and my Calvin’s? Nothing”. Kate Moss, Christy Turlington and Mark Walhburg all posed nearly naked on billboards, creating a media frenzy. The marketing genius behind this brand has helped brand Calvin Klein risk taking designs.

The Calvin Klein collections include jeans, underwear, fragrance, home products and eye wear. This celebrity favorite can often be seen on the red carpet and is a favorite of such stars as Eva Medes, Claire Danes, Patrick Dempsey and Brad Pitt. Calvin Klein is an American classic and epitomizes sophistication and style.

Pucci’s designs specialize in wrinkle-free silk dresses and his looks have become very popular among celebrities, most notably Jackie Kennedy and Sophia Loren. A true declaration to his popularity, Marilyn Monroe was buried in a Pucci dress.

Gianfranco Ferre Scarves at Bidz.com

Lauren C. — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:41:33 +0000

Gianfranco Ferre was a legendary Italian fashion designer who is best known for simplistic garments that exude carefree casual while being phenomenally sophisticated. It was Ferre’s crisp white shirts and structured pantsuit that gained him acclaim and became his personal signature. His name is also synonymous with sharply tailored dresses, luxurious scarves and structured ballroom gowns that epitomize chic glamour.

When you wear Gianfranco Ferre designs you are investing in piece that will never go out of style. Ferre harshly rejected trends in fashion and believed that clothing constructed with simple touches and impeccable tailoring defined style.

Perhaps it was Ferre’s studies in architecture that gave him the critical eye for the structure of a garment. He understood the elements of construction and whether it was a building or a dress, it was his love of proportion that allowed him to become a master of style. Ferre infused ultra rich fabrics and colors into his designs, which stemmed from his love of Asian culture. His aesthetic has been described as “east-meets-west” with simple lines that make a bold statement. There is an intellectual appeal to his clothing because he managed to make everything from simple shirts, dresses and gowns all appear opulent.

Lauren C. — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:15:48 +0000

Celine was started in 1945 as a children shoe business on the left bank of Paris. Although these were humble beginnings, this little shoe business expanded during the 1960s into a luxury brand. Celine started creating adult footwear, handbags, women’s ready-to-wear clothing, men’s ties and sportswear, and soon gained popularity with the fashionistas of France and Europe.

Celine brand became a world-wide fashion favorite when they opened up distribution in Japan and continued expansion of their brand with stores in Monte Carlo, Geneva, Hong Kong and Rome. Celine designs are synonymous with quintessential Parisian style and easy, wearable pieces that are comfortable.

The success of Celine collections started with the vision of creator Madame Celine Vipiana, who took this small family run business and turned it into a world-wide fashion darling. Vipiana is a Polish-born, French implant who made shoes for the children of wealthy Parisians. She realized once these little tykes grew up, they were still demanding her services and so the house of Celine came into being. Since Madame Vipiana’s retirement, a number of well-known designers have taken the helm at Celine, most notably Michael Kors, who was head designer from 1997 until 2004. The hallmark of Celine style has always been comfortable materials, mixed with modern elegance for men and woman and high-end wearable separates.
