To be a true man of style, you have to know how to accessorize. But there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the colors that you feel best represent you. So, take blue. And in taking blue, ditch the predictable sapphire and try the Lapis Lazuli. This deep blue opaque gem is often flecked with gold notes that up the shine factor. Lapis Lazuli properties include: harmony in friendships and an encouragement of truth.

Miranda Kerr Supports Youth Suicide Helpline In Australia
Written by Tim Saunders
Miranda Kerr has thrown her weight behind a helpline aimed at fighting youth suicide in her native Australia.
“The sadness of losing someone, especially in these circumstances, is something we live with and we continually question how it could be prevented,” said the supermodel, who lost a cousin to suicide. “There’s not really a great awareness about the services available to kids and that’s why I’m behind this great cause.”
According to the organization behind the helpline, “Kids Helpline is a free, 24 hour counseling service for young people aged 5-25 years in Australia. Counseling is offered by phone, email and over the web. Counselors respond to more than 6,000 calls each week about issues ranging from relationship breakdowns and bullying, to sexual abuse, homelessness, suicidal thoughts, and drug and alcohol use.”
“If we can reach just one child and let them know there is someone out there who wants to listen, that could help to save their life,” adds Kerr. “I believe if my cousin had known of Kids Helpline it may have saved his life.”
Kerr appears in the new Too Many, Too Soon TV PSA for Kids Helpline. To find out more, visit KidsHelp.com.au.

5 Whiskey Quartz Rings with Unexpected Details
Brown quartz goes by the name “Whiskey Quartz” because it … well, I know that it just sounds cooler. Let me walk you through our selections. The Alexis Bittar ring reads as truly regal. It’s perfect if you plan on holding court. The strong geometric shapes in that next ring is what made it a must-share. And then we get on to lighter colors of brown quartz, starting with the Judith Ripka ring with prongs that are almost like claws. (Sorry, flower petals? Psh.) Then we have a highly beloved ring from Victoria Wieck that looks like it has lace detailing. To complete this group we have a simple cocktail ring that is put on tiger’s eye rather than a typical metal. What do you think? Which is your favorite? Whiskey Quartz Rings Clockwise from top right.

Appearing shirtless in the simple, but effective video, which mostly takes place in the hood, Meek introduces fans to his world, including scattered Philly landmarks, like Geno's Steaks, and guest spots by Ross, Wale, DJ Khaled, Ace Hood and several members of Meek's crew.
"Look I be riding through my old hood, but I'm in my new whip," Meek raps from the front seat of his Ferrari, as he literally rides through the hood. "Same old attitude, but I'm on that new s---/ They say they gon' rob me, but they never do s---."

Wedding Rings Under 100 Dollars that Look Expensive but Aren?t
It can be expensive to get married, and while you don’t want to skimp on your wedding rings – you certainly can find sales and deals! Here, I’m showcasing six wedding rings under 100 dollars. Here’s our first three Wedding Bands: 14K White Gold Men’s & Women’s Wedding Bands 2mm flat light from Amazon, HERE. This timeless and simple ring is on sale for $81.00. Skewing towards just the females, there is this beautiful antique looking ring that I really adore. It’s the Julie’s Victorian Style Wedding Band Size from Amazon (HERE) for $54.00. I think it looks terribly special! And for something a bit more manly, this wedding ring is the 9mm Tungsten Silver Celtic Mens Wedding Band from Amazon (HERE) for $39.95 at sale price. The Celtic look is classic and traditional, and definitely a step up from a plain band. Here’s our next three Wedding Bands Under 100 Dollars: I was really blown away by how nice the Men’s 6.0mm Stainless Steel Band with Gold Ion-Plated Screw Accents ring looks. It’s from Zales (HERE) for $29.99. It reminds me of fancy Cartier bands that have similar detailing. For a women’s wedding band that’s inexpensive, you can go … Continue reading

Justin Bieber Apologises For Not Thanking Fans
In his acceptance speech for Best Male Video at the MTV Video Music Awards, Justin Bieber took to the stage and thanked God, Jesus and �all of them.� He didn�t mention Selena Gomez who was on her feet in the audience applauding him or, worst still, his Beliebers!
After being called to task for his erroneous failure to acknowledge his loyal fans, Justin promptly hit his keypad and tweeted an apology. He wrote that he had �blanked out up there,� and that he �forgot a lot of things in the moment.� His fans have most likely forgiven him.
However Justin hadn�t made any mention of girlfriend Selena in his apology which, of course, has given celeb watchers cause to speculate that maybe the couple are heading for a split. Well looks like all eyes will be on Justin and Selena to see if she gets him back for this apparent snub.

real estate stalking
When I came upon the above real estate listing, I kept trying to guess who the designer of the above space was. In the end I didn't get it right but when I found out who designed the space it all made sense. To think that the above space is only cleaned up for real estate pictures. I can only imagine how the above space would look all styled up ready for a talented photographer to come in and take pictures for editorial purposes. If you are curious about the designer or to learn more about the above space then go here.
Also there is a good chance of finding some more beautiful interiors while real estate stalking over on the Elliman site if you want to check out more spaces. I also really enjoyed this space as well as this space. May help that many of the listings are high end spaces in New York City.

Dorm decor 1950s style
? Day 242 of Vintage 365 ?
Having never lived on campus in a dorm, I can't say as though I have any personal experience when it comes to decorating one, but I've certainly visited other peoples' and seen my fair share of these (usually) pocket-sized colligate dwellings before.
As with nearly all abodes, the decor in dorm rooms can run the gamut from painfully Spartan to glamorously gorgeous. Most fall squarely in between, veering towards the practical side of life - chocked full of items like a desk, comfy chair, bed (usually twin size), computer and printer, dresser, and bookcase.
Tiny spaces intended to hold the most basic creature comforts of life, while allowing students to productively plug away at their studies, dorms have been a way of collage life for millions of students over the years.
As the the new school year kicking off right about now, I thought it would be fun to share a cute I image I found recently of a 1950s dorm room with you.
{Charming vintage dorm room photo via Vassarcollegearchives on Flickr.}
In this shot of two 1950s Vassar College students pouring over their books we see a room that is both similar and different from many dorms today. It strikes me as being more reserved and homelike, with it's spindle back chairs, double curtain windows, and pair of rugs. It's not luxurious in the slightest, yet it seems inviting and comfortable.
The walls are free of posters, photos, bulletin boards, and mirrors, a small lone piece of artwork the only thing adoring their pale hued paint. I like that girls have added a few feminine touches in the form of things like the floral print bedspreads and cute plush dogs.
Three lamps ensure they needn't strain their eyes as they read chapter after chapter; what looks like folding chairs propped against the right wall are likely for when company stops by, and (slightly beat-up) shelving near the door gives the ladies a place to house their shoes and handbags.
Like so many rooms of the decade, this college dorm is both sweet and utilitarian. It speaks to the necessary frugality most students face, yet really looks like the kind of spot you could feel instantly at home in.
Were I headed off to a dorm of my own this fall, I'd definitely be looking at vintage photographs like this for inspiration on how to dress up my college digs!
