Where can I find a pretty "pin" or brooch for my cashmere wrap?

Oct 26, 2007 by ~ Jamie ~ | Posted in Fashion & Accessories

I truly don't want to spend very much (less than $50) on a pin. Maybe even $25... Something very simple to hold my scarf/wrap together. It doesn't see that may places sell brooches anymore. I am only in my twenties and don't want anything "grandmotherly". Any ideas please?? I am searching with no luck!

Well I don't know, you may try Target or an antique store (they might not even be "grandmotherly"). Everything old is new again.

In Harvest Moon Mineral Town.. How can I get rid of Gray's brooch?

Apr 02, 2008 by Frerryl Mynt | Posted in Video & Online Games

Okay, so Gray gave me a silver brooch. The thing is, I can't wear it nor I can sell it. I can't even throw it on the ground! What am I supposed to do with it???

Is this top for going out at evening or i can wear it for example for shopping?

Have you ever seen this top in RIVER ISLAND stores, I have to explain its appearance because there is not in the website.
zebra print top , short sleeves, round collar with a black ribon and a brooch at the middle of the ribon , on one side of collar.

I dont know if it is suitable for day wear, (not work wear).?

Well I would wear that for day wear yes as long as you pair it with some casual bottoms such as jeans or capris. Of course it would be lovely for night time as well.

How can I make it clear to my dad that his mistress is not going to be welcome at my wedding?

This requires a great deal of background information, so bear with me.

About two year ago, my dad walked out on my mom after 32 years of marriage and a total of 35 years together. We later discovered that he moved in with a woman with whom he'd not only been having at least an emotional affair with, but with whom he'd been cheating on the OTHER woman he'd been having an affair with for 10 years (messed up, huh?).

Needless to say, my sister and I have been in various states of estrangement from him for quite some time. He's blown us off for holidays, our birthdays, etc. What's worse, he's practically tried to force this woman down our throats as if we're supposed to just forget the role she played in the death of our parents' marriage and that everything will continue with no problems or hard feelings. Anyone who's gone through this knows how impossibly difficult that expectation is.

My sister is currently not talking to our dad, but I have made efforts to begin establishing a new relationship with him. I've written him letters and emails to the effect of saying that we need to fix our relationship as father and daughter, and that I am not at a place right now where I am ready to deal with his mistress, let alone have any sort of relationship with her. He seemed to finally get that, and stopped asking me to come up and visit with the two of them together in HER house.

Now, in the first letter I wrote to my dad, I made mention of how I had no idea how my wedding was going to pan out now that he and my mom were apart (they legally separated in September, he can't file for divorce until September of this year, and there's no telling if he will or not). I was given a letter from his mistress in February (there was this whole incident of my dad taking an heirloom brooch that had belonged to my great-grandmother out of my mother's jewelry box when he left and gave it to the girlfriend, who was "returning it to it's rightful owner," meaning me) and in this very manipulative letter, she said that, and I quote, my wedding wouldn't be "tainted" with her presence, and that she wanted my parents to sit together at church and enjoy the day as my parents.

After my birthday in April, I didn't have a "real" conversation with my dad until last Wednesday when I called to tell him that I'd gotten engaged. Now all of a sudden, he's pushing this woman on me again, wanting me and my fiance to go to HER house to visit them, show them the ring, and tell them what we have planned for the wedding.

I'm afraid that my dad is going to try to use my wedding as a way to shove this woman into my life, when I really don't care to have more than cursory contact with her, if that. My sister has already told him that she wants nothing to do with her at all and that she is not welcome at any family function where my sister is present. Further, because my dad is essentially gone from the operational picture, my mom will be the one hosting the wedding and issuing the invitations. I hardly think it's fair to expect my mother to issue an invitation to the woman who her husband had an adulterous affair with and left her for, in part. Further, I also think it'd be pretty hypocritical to have my dad's mistress, with whom he is currently having an adulterous affair (separated is not divorced) and will in the eyes of God always be committing adultery unless my mother gets an annulment, present at the church where my parents were married to see his daughter pledge her love and fidelity to someone. Also, I'm very afraid that to allow her to come would take the focus of the wedding off me and my fiance and place it on them, since my mother's ENTIRE family would probably like to rip them both apart on sight, his family seems to hate her, and my fiance's family will be wondering all day who that woman is with the bride's father.

It's such a touchy subject and I don't know how to explain to my dad how inappropriate I think it would be to include her, and that I don't want to share my wedding details with her. But I still want my dad to be there; I want him to walk me down the aisle and I want to have my daddy-daughter dance. Various people on my mom's side of the family think I shouldn't even invite my dad.

The thing is that I'm afraid that if I make the stipulation, despite having already attempted to make clear to my dad that I don't want to have a relationship with her right now and that as an adult I have that choice, he just won't come. I'm afraid that if he does that, if he can't even choose his daughter first on her wedding day, that it will be the final nail in the coffin and I won't be able to forgive him.

HELP!!!!!!
Cory-C : I never said that I had forgiven my father. Far from it. I have, however, determined that at this point I don't want to completely cut him out of my life and have been trying to salvage some sort of relationship with him, IN SPITE of what he's done. I'm not putting all the blame on his mistress but she did play a part and I'm not going to ignore that either. Believe me, I have done a LOT of dealing with the anger and abandonment issues I have - it sucks to feel most of the time that your father doesn't want you!

Having my dad walk me down the aisle isn't me trying to pretend that everything is perfect. I feel I have a right to have him present if I want him. I know I'm asking a lot for people to even tolerate his presence - my mom has even said she is willing to sit in the same pew as him for the ceremony if that's what I want. I need them both there AS MY PARENTS.

Holy mother of God.

1. You are right to be upset and yes, it's your prerrogative and an adult and the bride to set the rules.

2. No one can force to "accept" that tramp. Forgiveness is going to take more effort than lame letters and you ahve the right to be hurt and it is up to you to take for as long as it takes to heal your wounds.

3. You wedding is not the place or the moment to impose that home-wrecker on your wedding. This is YOUR show and if you don't want her there I don't blame you.

4. Tell your father that you guys can talk about your relationship AFTER the wedding, and for the mean time, you would like to have your family and family only reunited for A day. Tell him that it's yoru wish and that you hope that X do not take it personal, but this is your day and do not want to bring unnecesary drama/attention to your wedding.

Good luck and congrats!!!

Bought a dress now need to stay warm!?

Oct 24, 2008 by Jodie Greer | Posted in Fashion & Accessories

I'm going to the UK in December and my husband and I are wanting to go to the theatre and to Paris to the Moulin Rouge, unfortunately it's summer here in Australia and my dress is an evening gown but no sleeves. Now it's a dark purple flowing to the ground with a gathered waist and a brooch. The material is very soft but also a little clingy (it's gorgeous) now I need something to wear over the top, that will 1. Keep my warm enough and 2. Won't ruin my dress

Any ideas?

Try a pashmina shawl. They come in so many different colors and are very soft and warm. Plus, there are many different way to wear one and they can be dressed up or down with other outfits.

Pink Sapphire Brooch

It’s a wonderful way of dressing up your wardrobe and there is absolutely no doubt that a brooch looks lovely as part of any outfit. Whether it is a slinky evening dress or a formal office wear, a brooch adds a touch of glamor and character, with an overall stunning effect. Although brooches come in all possible designs with vibrant gemstones and sparkling diamonds, one does have individual preferences. Pink sapphire brooches for one, are extremely popular with most women. As pink is an agreeable color for most ladies, a pink sapphire brooch is a good way of adding both, a dash of color as well as style. Honestly, a pink brooch may not complement too many colors but will look startling in most cases, whether in sync or in contract to the shade of the outfit. It is indeed, a lovely piece of accessory, a charming pink sapphire brooch.
