Scold her for wearing the jewelry instead of being

And that takes us to our third irony. If M. Lantin hadn#8217;t stopped going to the theatre with his wife, then another man wouldn#8217;t have had the opportunity to flirt with her, and become her lover. In every other way, other than the theatre, and later the jewelry, M. Lantin#8217;s wife devoted herself to him. In paragraph five, it says that #8220;It would be impossible to conceive of any attention, tenderness, playful caress which she did not lavish upon her husband#8230;#8221; She was in love as well as loving her husband. She devoted herself to him, except for her time at the theatre. So, if M. Lantin had been at the theatre with his wife, then his very presence would have stopped any affairs, if only because his wife#8217;s attention would have been on him or on the theatre, not another man. (Intermission would have been long enough for anybody to get it on! Not to mention while M. Lantin was at work.)

And then of course, there is the jewelry itself. The fact that the jewelry is real, while she had been acting like it was fake. Even so far as to let the light catch the crystal, and say, #8220;Now, look at them - see how well the work was done. You would swear it was real jewelry.#8221;, when he would scold her for wearing the jewelry instead of being #8220;adorned with one#8217;s natural beauty and grace.#8221; I#8221;m sure she had fun dressing her husband in the jewelry and laughing at him wearing her lover#8217;s gifts.

Then when she died, and M. Lantin found out that the jewelry was real. The jewelry that the wife#8217;s lovers gave her paid for M. Lantin debauchery. After he realized he was rich, M. Lantin forgot all about his wife#8217;s affairs, and deluded himself that all was okay as long as he was rich. So much so, that six months after his wife died, he remarried to a good upstanding woman that made his life miserable.

That is the ultimate irony of this story and in life. That we are happiest having fun and not worrying about what we do or who we are doing it with. That we laugh, play, and enjoy life to the fullest whenever and wherever we find ourselves. And when we confine ourselves to a certain moral standard with no room for change, understanding, or at least the ability to agree to disagree; we end up making our lives and the lives of everyone around us miserable. This is the ultimate irony of life!

A good pair of jeans are versatile

Jeans: if you work in them, socialise in them and generally live in them, they can be one of the best investments you#8217;ll ever make. But remember you pay for what you get. If you#8217;re going to spend a pittance on a supermarket brand of denim, then don#8217;t expect anything better than ill-fitting cuts or conventional styling. Shopping for jeans is a serious business if you live in them. And brands like Cipo and Baxx are a good place to start if you want guaranteed cool. Cipo and Baxx clothing have built their reputation on delivering when it comes to denim.

A good pair of jeans are versatile, tough and one wardrobe staple you can always rely on. Our relationship with denim has been a long and loving one, and it#8217;s a love affair that#8217;s not ending anytime soon. Why? Because quality jeans can carry you through any occasion, they can look effortlessly cool, can be dressed down or dressed up; fit for work and play. It#8217;s not surprising that such enduring allure dates back to the 19th century, when jeans were originally created as men#8217;s work wear, dyed in the trademark indigo colour. Jeans became the uniform of the Californian Gold Rush thanks to their durability and reliability. And of course Levi Strauss revolutionised the denim industry when he started a wholesale business in 1853. Jeans transformed from being work wear to becoming beyond cool thanks to the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando who matched their denim with white vests for an iconic movie star look. And now brands like Cip and Baxx are d! oing what they do best - taking up a much loved wardrobe staple but not taking it for granted. Too many high street shops churn out shapeless, unloved pairs of jeans that only make the wearer look frumpy, freaky or ugly. Buying a designer label guarantees a good cut, colour and styling that makes this ubiquitous fabric really stand out from the crowd.

We love jeans. Any style goes with jeans as long as they look good on you. A good pair of jeans will suit anyone, all year round, regardless of age, body shape or personality. But don#8217;t make the mistake of opting for any old pair - take a little time and money to invest in the right style to suit your shape (boot leg is flattering regardless of shape, avoid skinny fits unless you#8217;re skinny, and stay away from flares unless you#8217;re stick thin!) Badly chosen jeans can look geeky - a pathetic attempt at trying to be cool (just think of any politician snapped in a pair!). If you#8217;re going to have a life long love affair with denim, opt for the best.

Choose should be perfectly matched with your personality

When choosing perfume, do not try more than 3 kinds of perfume one time because your sense of smell will be in disorder, thus make you fail to achieve the final purpose of buying the right perfume. Evening is the best time for choosing perfume because people#8217;s sense of smell is the most inactive in the morning and afternoon, while it is best in the evening. The perfume you choose should be perfectly matched with your personality, age and occupation. You should also pay attention to your purposes of using perfumes. You may use it for leisure, social life or touring.

You had better not buy those inferior goods for the sake of its low price. If you use inferior perfumes, the fragrance will soon disappear even if you sprinkle half bottle of the perfume on your body. It is a different case with those superior ones. The fragrance will last for a whole night even with only one or two drop.

Living environment should be taken into consideration. If you live in a quiet and peaceful environment, light perfume is the best choice. On the contrary, if you live in a noisy environment, rich perfume is surely your first choice. As for middle-aged women, perfumes with enriched flavor are suitable for them. When choosing perfume, it is better to avoid too much perfumes because it is difficult to tell differences between different perfumes when suffered from olfactory fatigue. Thus, three kinds of perfumes are enough.

Do not think that perfumes suitable for other people will surely fit for you. Even the same perfume is likely to show tiny difference if used by different people. Do not smell the fragrance near the mouth of the bottle because all you get is the pungent odour of alcohol. Do not try perfumes after meal or vigorous exercise because body temperature and the taste of food will affect the aroma of perfume.

Have you ever dreamed of ruling a country

Have you ever dreamed of ruling a country? In fact, there are many people in the world who own their own territory. Some countries even cover an area of about a house. And the only one citizen is the King himself. These micronations have their own history. But the unbelievable thing is that some of these countries can survive from those disasters. They create their own currency and passport. They are announced legal in the world and became comparatively free countries. Now I will list the most interesting ones to you.

Sealand

In 1960, a British people and his family built their own country in Sealand. They occupied a large number of properties and establish the country Sealand. In 1970, some Sealand citizens came and take over this Sealand. They establish armed forces and defeat the those war prisoners. Till now, Sealand is still the focal point of international news. But there still exists disputes about the identity of the country.

Molossia

Molossia is located on a small island within Nevada State in United States. It is established in 1970 with a population of 4. However it is an independent country near America. Theoretically, this country has its own constitution. Practically, a political unrest triggered the panic of the King and thus enacted Martial Law. In Molossia, incandescent lamp, katfish and tobacco are all illegal things. It is also the host of the first Olympic games for micronations.

Redonda

Columbus advocated building Redonda in 1493. Since then,there existed a country on this uninhabited rock. Apart from cliffs, there are only one squared mile of land left. The only animal here is wild goat. But the most abundant natural resource here is the waste of birds. Recently, an English hotel attempts to send a ambassador to depose their smoking bans. But they rejected this.

These countries are very lucky to survive. There are still some countries that do not have this kind of luck, such as Leicester Hemingway, Minerva, Atlanteum. They are either destroyed or unconfirmed.

Signet Groupâs US subsidiary is Sterling Jewelers

Jewelry – a magical word that exudes bright smiles, diamond-like glittering eyes and deep, longing sighs. Ever since the human race evolved into an intelligent straight-backed species, there are evidences that jewels in the form of precious crude metals and stones were collected and considered to be forms of splendor. There are several archeological findings of hand-made simple and elegant jewelry in various parts of the world. No wonder that in the modern age, jewelry has gained such an important status in the global market and a nation's fortune is decided upon its possession and utilization of gold and diamond mines.

Competition among the best brands is at its optimum level and today's jewelers are the busiest in the professional market, trying to meet the never-ending craving for priceless elegant designs. With the revolution in the area of industry and communication, world class jewelry has come to the reach of urban man and is no longer limited to remain in the prized possession of royalty and film stars. No matter what the budget, jewelry, in today's world comes in many different forms to suit your individual style. Every variety of jewelry has long since been the ultimate fashion statement and has stayed that way till date. The earlier small scale family jewelry shops have turned into massive corporate giants spewing thousands of fresh designs each year. It is quite an impossible task to bring forth the staggering number of brands floating in the current market. However, based on antiquity and their present grasp on the world's economy, I am going to enumerate here some fam! ous jewelry stores and brands.

America's best jewelry brands and retail outlets

Zale Corporation

Zale is one of North America's largest retailers in diamond, pearl and coloured stone, and gold (rings, chains, etc) jewelry. It has a chain of 2350 outlets throughout US, Canada and Puerto Rico. The firm has four flagship bearers aimed at different jewelry markets - Bailey Banks amp; Biddle Fine Jewelers, Gordon#8217;s Jewelers, Zales Jewelers, and Piercing Pagoda. In addition to this, Zale also runs several outlets in Canada under the names Peoples Jewellers amp; Mappins Jewellers. Zales.com amp; Baileybanksandbiddle.com are the two official online shopping malls for sale of Zale merchandise.

A brief overview of Zale's chains is given below:

Gordon#8217;s Jewelers:

This was founded in 1924 by Meyer M. Gordon. With further expansion, the business grew into a dominant regional jewelry brand catering to local fashion and style and it has continued the tradition over the years.

Bailey Banks amp; Biddle:

This was created by two American silversmiths with very little capital in 1832 and the brand was established in 1878. This firm of fine jewelers became one of the country's prominent jewelry brands and now has a nationwide recognition. Bailey Banks amp; Biddle has grown to more than 70 retail locations in 31 states across the country and Puerto Rico.

Piercing Pagoda:

As ear-piercing started catching up with the fashion market of the US, jewelry store owners Bernard and Bertha Cohen found it apt to open the very first Piercing Pagoda™ in the Whitehall Mall in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, in 1969. This venture became a success story when women from far and wide came to their stall for ear-piercing. Piercing Pagoda has grown from a single retail location to a chain of more than 820 kiosks today satisfying customers throughout the US and Puerto Rico with its specialty gold jewelry.

Signet Group plc

Signet, a UK based company, is the largest US specialty retail brand capturing a major chunk of the US jewellery market with its 1,221 stores in 50 states. It reaches to the retail customers through the malls under the banner Kay Jewelers and regionally under a number of well-established and recognized names. The superstores operate under the flagship name Jared – The Galleria of Jewelry. Signet Group#8217;s US subsidiary is Sterling Jewelers.

Gold is kind of old

Another hot trend is waistbands, and they come in all styles. From rhinestone embedded to floral prints, belts are back and they look hot. They can make you look slimmer and sexier and just oh, so cool. As for floral, go for a floral print dress, floral handbag or shoes that have some cool sunflower prints. Just be a drama queen, if you are a teen (with fashion that is).

Gold is kind of old. That doesn#8217;t mean you have to go see your gold at a pawn shop. Just put it away, and get into silver. Muted silver is the latest thing in teen accessories. Get savvy and go for silver, when you pick up a bracelet or necklace.

And believe it or not, plastic can perk up your look. Be it a handbag or shoes, plastic is making its day.

Accessories are like a signature to what you wear. Be it a chic petite floral handbag or a luminous Aztec medallion, an accessory is all about what you want to say to the world. It can be a statement or it can just be something that draws your interest.

It#8217;s really about having fun, and remember. Let yourself go!

Matching jewelry

Indian Fashion Kurti, also known as Tunic tops, is very much in fashion these days. It is very comfortable and looks very stylish. The term Kurta tunic tops or Kurti are used to describe the shorter kameez. Most women prefer to wear these without the chunni. It#8217;s a Shirt-like garment reaching till the hips. It can be of short, long, three fourth sleeves or without sleeves. Its often has a round or a #8220;V#8221; neckline.

Kurti is just a top. Girls nowadays wear Kurti in collages, office wear, and daily wear over jeans, salwar, pant, capri and even a skirt. Indian Kurtis are accepted worldwide and it looks great.

Choose simple jewellery to compliment it

Keep it cute - One thing to remember when purchasing fashion jewellery for the beach is to keep it simple. A relaxed day time look requires very different jewellery to that worn on a night time. While you might want to look glamorous pool side, this can be achieved without over the top accessories. Remember to opt for understated fashion jewellery that will not overshadow your swimsuit.

Less is more-When it comes to accessorising your beach look, less is definitely more. Rather than wearing earrings, bangles and necklaces try to focus on one area in particular to avoid looking too dressy. Avoid diamonds and stick to braided or pretty pieces. It is also advisable to leave your expensive jewellery in the safe as there is a great chance of it being lost in the sea or in the sand.

Dress for the weather-Just as you wouldn#8217;t wear your winter clothes on the beach leave the heavy wintery jewellery at home. The beach requires a certain type of jewellery as some materials can heat up quickly in the sun. Chunky jewellery should be avoided if you don#8217;t want thick tan lines on your wrist area. Instead choose loose jewellery that will constantly shift allowing you to avoid white lines.

Bold brights-One thing to remember when picking out jewellery is colour. Celebrate the holiday season with colourful collections. Remember to keep your swim suit collection in mind when shopping for jewellery. If your suit has a bold print, choose simple jewellery to compliment it. However if your suit is plain add a flash of colour with fashion bangles and beads.
