5 Pearl Cluster Rings Under $100
You can add a trendy and beautiful piece of jewelry to your wardrobe with a pearl cluster ring, but it’s not as easy to find as you might think. Although these types of rings are popping up everywhere, including handmade sites like Etsy, plenty of them are not very attractive. Some look downright alien. You don’t want that. So I’ve found five different pearl cluster rings that I think would look good on anyone’s finger. Look for different colored pearls, and accents in the metal or by the use of additional stones or crystals. The best cluster rings don’t have the pearls all at the same height – variety is key! Every ring I’ve picked has a bit of variety in some way, even if it’s super simple. P.S. Any of these are great as a present for June babies, since pearls make these June Birthstone Rings. P.S.S. These are all rings under $100!

VF's Closet: MBFW Swim
This weekend was the annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami. There was so much going on (20 shows in 4 days), and I loved every second of it. Designers from all over the globe gathered to showcase their latest swimwear collection for 2012. I also got to check out the Chloe Fall/Winter 2012 line--it was Uh-mazing. The weather really didn't cooperate at all though. It was soooo hot, like 100 steamy degrees hot! I was seriously drenched in sweat after walking one block (not cute at all). I almost felt like jumping in that pool behind me--ha.
I wore this grey dress that I scored on sale a couple of weeks ago from Banana Republic for about $25 (originally $130). It's very lightweight and not to mention comfy. At first I contemplated about wearing something colorful, being in Miami and all, but decided to rather add some color with my makeup and went with this bright pink lipstick shade. It was sent to me by the folks at CoverGirl, but before then I don't think I even owned a pair of lipstick. I usually only wear lip gloss. I'm now hooked on wearing lipsticks and even got several compliments during the show about the color.
How was your weekend? Did any of you see Harry Potter? I saw it yesterday--won't give any spoiler alerts.

Just 45 minutes outside Cape Town exists a place and hotel that I dream about when I want to get away from it all. Let me just break it down..large gardens that produce every imaginable herb, fruit and vegetable where their emphasis is on good, simple, juicy and tasty food - straight from the garden to the table. Are you with me on this one? Seriously just look at that food and those accommodations...so clean and beautiful looking.

The 21-year-old rapper, who's aptly-titled debut 'The EP,' is scheduled for a September release, has landed revered video director Hype Williams to helm the visual for his first single, and while the clip is not yet out, you can check out the song, 'We Made It,' after the jump.
"'We Made It' was the last track I recorded while putting my project together," Baze told the BoomBox. "I spent two months and worked day and night on the album. I really wanted to make it inspiring, but [also] give it that celebration feel, because this was my victory And graduation all in one."

Kanye, Jay-Z Receive Protest Letter From Indie Stores
Filed under: Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop News
Kevin Mazur/WireImage
On Thursday (July 28), the team who created Record Store Day -- a day independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music -- devised a letter that announced their displeasure in the 'Watch the Throne' release strategy. The open letter, which has amassed more than 50 signatures from indie store representatives and will reportedly be published in a forthcoming issue of Billboard magazine, details the "great damage" excluding the stores and limiting the initial LP release to iTunes and Best Buy will do.
"We know that you are busy, and that you put most of your energies into creating great music, but we are writing to you in the hope that you will hear us and take the time to rectify this matter," the letter reads. "As representatives of the independent record store music community, we are asking you to allow record stores and music fans equal access to your new album."

Each couple dances twice on 'So You Think You Can Dance'
Jesse Tyler Ferguson from "Modern Family" and Sonya Tayeh are the guest judges. I really liked what both brought to the panel. But enough about me, onto the show.
Each couple danced twice during the episode.
Sasha and Alexander are first with the Paso Doble by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin. They dance to “Alley Dash/March of the Tolls” by Taylor Long and Rick Powell. It is very passionate. Nigel says that the routine is really good. He says Alexander is the best he's seen and Sasha does brilliantly. Mary raves about Sasha. She says Alexander has a breakthrough. Jesse says it is highly dramatic. He says it is brilliant. Sonya says Sasha "rocks" her socks.
Jordan and Tadd are next with a Travis Wall routine to "Brotsjór” by Ólafur Arnalds. Mary screams with joy. She says Jordan demolishes the routine. Jesse says Tadd shows that the guys are "in it to win it." Sonya says the dance makes her want to cry. Nigel says the routine is remarkable.

Ernie Paniccioli / Retna
In an open letter to fans she released via Twitter, Hill addressed the media speculation surrounding the pair's relations, her very publicized pregnancy and recent birth, which occurred on Saturday, July 23.
"Mr. Marley and I have a long and complex history about which many inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning. To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form the wrong conclusions. We both value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my son," she revealed in the letter.

July Birthstone Rings: 5 Princess Cut Ruby Rings
You’ll be one hell of a powerful princess when you wear one of these July Birthstone Rings. Each has the addition of a princess cut ruby, among other elements (such as diamonds.)In the mix I’ve selected two ring bands, and three rings with a solitaire ruby as the centerpiece. The princess cut makes a gemstone look quite formidable, with a bold square shape and inverted pyramid shape from a profile view. There’s always a lot of depth implied with a princess cut stone. I like what that says about the woman who wears it, because all now that women have layers upon layers of mystery. And if you didn’t know that, now you do! (And trust me, you’re better for it.)

Reflections from a Canadian on Memorial Day
? Day 150 of Vintage 365 ?
"In peace", said the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, "sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons." These words, sobering and hauntingly true, were spoken in the 5th century B.C., and yet they could just as easily have passed through the lips or pen nib of a wise person today.
On this, Memorial Day in America, one pauses to reflect on those who have stood up for their country only to fall in battle. I adore many elements of history (be it 20th century or otherwise), but war is unequivocally not one of them.
{This vintage photo from the 1940s of a small boy wearing a grown man?s military coat and cap, is rich in dimensional meaning and symbolize, not only of WW2, but of all wars and the fragility of peace in anyone's lifetime. Image via kawkawpa on Flickr.}
There is nothing glamorous about war. It is not the the glitzy, uniforms-that-never-get-dirty world of certain Hollywood films, nor the "just point and kill" spectrum of comic book soldiers. Real war is horrific for everyone involved.
War knows no sides, plays no favourites. It's dark as a sun-less galaxy, more tormenting than any nightmare a person can have with their eyes closed.
I have no respect for war, but I do for those who have, when truly necessarily, gone to fight so that today I may know freedom. One of my great-grandfathers, as well as some of my great uncles fought for Canada in the second world war.
Those who came back, were never the same. How could they be, how on God's earth could anyone every stare war squarely in the eyes and return unshaken, unmoved, emotionally (and often physically) scared, a rearranged version of person they'd once been.
Though decades, like rings in the tree of time, have begun to distance society from WW1 and two, war still rages around the world, and we'd be naive to think that the possibility of another catastrophic world war was off the table for the rest of time.
Just as a solider rushing towards the frontline never knows what fate may deal him at the next moment, so too do none of us know for certain that peace will always be with us. Yet we can hope dearly that it will and work towards creating the type of society in which this thus far unachieved dream is finally realized.
I believe that one of the most poignant and important steps towards that goal is to never forget those who have fought, served, and fallen, giving the ultimate sacrifice of their very lives, for the world - however flawed it may still be in certain ways - that we know and treasure today.
Though I am not American, it would be impossible for me to let today slip past without pausing to remember - and thank - in the farthest reaches of my heart all those who have been lost in battle so that I could know freedom.
Join me, won't you, in a moment of silence and gratitude for everyone and their families, for whom Memorial Day is devoted.
