I Can't Afford to Eat Meat... And I don't mean Financially Either!

2009-10-08T11:27:00.000-07:00

Alright, so I've made the decision to covert to Vegetarianism. I began this new journey on Oct.5th, 2009. I was always a meat eater(eww that sounds gross!)and loved it for the past 32 yrs. Heck I was raised on meat.. I'm a Tx girl for goodness sakes. A meal was not considered a meal unless it consisted of some kind of meat... Some meals were even JUST meat! I knew that 'NON-Meat" eating people existed but I never met any of them. Until about a yr ago I began meeting vegetarians and vegans right and left. They came out of the wood work and shared their experiences with me. I became aware that all of them had one thing in common: They all said, "I've never felt so damn good in my LIFE!" Having heard this and incorporating it with my interest in PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has definitely influenced my decision. I started to view PETA's videos and articles related to animal cruelty that occurs every day around the world and it really affected me. But many reasons play a large part in my decision and I will tell them in a few moments. I know that for some people, this is a sensitive subject.. Almost like bringing up politics or religion. But since beginning my new eating regiman just 3 short days ago, I've already have begun to see/feel a difference plus I've already lost 5 lbs. This why I want to share my story in hopes that you too will "pass" on meat and start your very own journey to healthy living. I will continue to blog about my new found love of being a vegetarian as the days go by. So please check in for new updates. When changing food habits, you have to start somewhere, so if you have an interest in Vegetarianism, take the "Pledge to be a Veg for 30 days." There you'll also find a Starter kit to becoming a Veg that includes recipes and more. Click here to view a very powerful video on reasons to become a vegetarian. This video played a huge part in confirming my decision to go full steam ahead towards vegetarianism.

Here are a few of my reasons for becoming a Vegetarian:

SAVE OUR PLANET> The meat industry is producing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases & pollution. Fossil fuel...It takes 78 calories of fossil fuel to produce 1 calorie of beef protein; 35 calories for 1 calorie of pork; 22 calories for 1 of poultry; but just 1 calorie of fossil fuel for 1 calorie of soybeans. By eating plant foods instead of animal foods, we'll help conserve our non-renewable sources of energy. We will have to all become vegetarians sooner or later. Exhausted soils and scarcity of water will force the world to adopt a vegetarian diet. Get used to it now!.
SAVE OUR WATER> It takes one hundred times more water to produce a pound of beef than a pound of wheat. We have a growing world shortage of fresh water. We are using it up faster than nature can provide it. You can play your part in saving precious water by adopting a vegetarian diet.
SAVE OUR TREES> It is not logging that is forcing the destruction of the rain forest. The land is being cleared for cattle ranching or crops for cattle feed. After a few years the land is nutritionally used up and desertification begins
SAVE OUR ANIMALS> It's unbelievable the amount of pain and suffering an animal goes through in order to get on your plate! Animals are amazing creatures and should be treated as such. Aren't wings suppose to symbolize Freedom? It kills me that I was not brought aware of this sooner. Here's a video provided by PETA about the meat industry's torture.. If you can watch without a single tear, I will be impressed! But to be honest with you, I could NOT watch the complete video.

Keep in mind that in the time it will take you to view this video, over 2 million animals will be slaughtered for human consumption!

Click here... then click on "Explore the Vegetarian Starter Kit now" (below McCartney) then click (same area) on "Find out what happens to these amazing animals."

SICK AMERICANS> The USDA allows farmers to leave their livestock untreated when illnesses arise such as cancer or tumors. So the meat we ingest is most likely that of a diseased animal. The majority of animals raised for feed and intended for slaughter are injured and dying due to the unhealthy, filthy, crammed and confined spaces of which they are raised. Mad cow disease is not only isolated to other countries! Oh and Chicken.. All packaged chicken has traces of POOP on it! Sorry but I am not going to sugar coat it for you... We're eating SHIT & CANCER people! Isn't just that enough for you to put the meat aside? Not to mention the antibiotics and steriods that are pumped into these creatures, not for treatment of illness but for rapid growth and less feed consumption. This is what is going into our bodies. This is what we feed our children! I don't know about you but I say, "NO MORE! HELL NO!" Dead Flesh has been linked to many diseases from heart disease and cancer to artritis, diabetes, acne & obesity to name a few. Vegetarians are proven to be healthier and live longer! Hey I have an idea... when you get mad at someone, instead of saying, " oh eat shit & die!" Just hand them a piece of meat! HA!
CANCER STICK? HOW ABOUT CANCER FLESH> As I make myself more aware of the many dangers of meat, I feel more and more quilty. And here is why... Here I've been on my husbands ass to quit smoking so that he's healthier not only for himself but so that he doesn't cheat our daughter out of not having a father in her life if, god forbid, he got an illness from his bad smoking habit. But little did I know that eating meat is just as toxic as I've mentioned above. So we just can't afford to eat meat... And I do not mean financially. I mean that I can't afford for us to eat meat because OUR life depends on it! I choose health. I choose life. So many people are GREEN (which I am all for of course!)but what good is going "Green" if we're nor going to be around to enjoy it?
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT> One largely contributing reason for becoming Vegetarian is the saying, "You are what you eat." Think about it for a second... "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT"... Get it? Eat healthy and you are healthy, Right? Ohhh Chicken , Lean beef and Lean turkey is so healthy for you, Correct? Hello?....! That's dead flesh that you're consuming! Dead flesh contains all sorts of diseas treatening Ingest DEATH and you shall emit DEATH!
HUG A FURRY CREATURE> I love animals. I'm not cruel to animals in any way shape or form... Heck, I use to attract strays,bring them home and keep them forever. I would even stay up with the pregnant ones and lay next to them while in labor just to make sure everything went ok. Now my parents were'nt always happy about all the "pets" but I still did it. I nursed my childhood cat back to health from a serious injury when noone even thought he'd survive. I am totally against hunting. I don't even associate with "hunters." So what am I doing eating meat?! All the yrs of rescuing and caring for animals was contradicted everytime I chewed their flesh! It never dawned on me what I was doing but at least I am aware now. Better late than never right!

Obviously the reasons for vegetarianism are plentiful and I could go on and on but the ones mentioned above are my personal primary reasons for passing when it comes to meat. Like I said before, I have been 'meat free' for 3 full days now and I have already noticed a difference in this short amount of time! Here's my own changes.

Days 1-3:

WEIGHT LOSS> I started on Oct. 5, 2009. Today is Oct. 8th. That's 3 days and I've lost 5 whole lbs already! That's crazy right! All those ribs and chili rubbed steaks and chopped Pork sandwhiches may have been doing my palette a favor at the time but wasn't doing my bodies health any favors in the end.
MOOD> So far I've noticed a drastic change of mood. For the better that is! I'm suddenly Optimistic. Which, if you knew me, is not a common characteristic of mine. I'm thinking positive and feeling positive!
ENERGY> I have a one yr old that just does not know how to sleep. So energy is a major shortage of mine. But Since I have this new veg/fruit intake, I have a major increase in the Energy department. There's an actual skip in my step. My morning and evening walks have been just that.. walks. But now I actually jog them! In the mornings I am ready to go, whereas before it would take me a minute or two to awaken.
SEEING COLORS> I do not want this to sound cheesey in any way but I will try to describe this as best possible. I feel better all around. I see things better and clearer. By that I mean colors are vivid. This may be relative to the new positivity in my life but seriously people... You've got to get on this drug of life! It's colorful, no pun intended!
LIGHTER THAN AIR> I feel light. I don't mean weight wise either. I mean I actually feel lighter inside. The heaviness and thickness of meat must've consumed my entire body. I can actually feel "healthy" taking over!

Days 4 -25

CHOCO CRAZY> I dunno whats going on but I think that I substituted MEAT with Chocolate. Anything Chocolate is miraculously finding its way into my mouth! It so bad that when I took my lil' one jogging in the stroller the other day, I brought M&M's with me! What THA!?! So you can say that the weight loss that I mentioned in the first few days... YEP.. At a stand still. I gotta work on that.
TAUNTING OLD HABITS> I've actually have not wanted meat at all. No cravings for it or anything, which I am very grateful for as it has made new vegetarianism easy. Even looking at meat cooking on stove (hubby is still meat eater) is repulsive to me. Plus its been pretty fun coming up with new meatless dishes. I have a couple great ones so far that I will post. BUT.... This weekend is my Hubbys birthday celebration and he chose our favorite restuarant! Now at this restuarant is the worlds best steak! BEST I SAY! We've never even had anything else on the menu because these steaks are like butter. He said it's going to be my biggest test.. I will let ya know how it goes! Be strong... Be healthy Hollie!
ENERGY REMAINS> I continue to experience the same great things as in the first 3 days but mostly energy. Something a mom definitely needs.
BYE BYE HEADACHES> I don't know if this is relative to giving up meat but I use to get headaches on a dailey basis. Pretty darn bad too! But I've noticed a significated reduction of headpain.
TO VEGAN OR NOT TO VEGAN?> I keep contemplating the whole Vegan thing. Should I? Can I? Could I? I already don't "drink" milk but I do eat lots of things, that I LOVE might I add, that contains eggs and milk. Do I wanna give up dairy? Well YES.. but Could I... Well I don't think so. I need to get past the Vegetarian transformation first then consider Veganism. I love bread. LOVE IT! I love milk choc! I love Desserts! Yes, there are products for Vegans but that shopping experience sucks! I have to have two separate shopping list and cook separately for me & my hubb.

I understand that not everyone can afford boutique style items, much less personalized ones. But like me, you want them! So what do you do?.. You google and google and search and search and can't find jack! Right? Or you find crappy instructions that get you nowhere. Then you end up having spent more time making something questionable, then trying to fix it to make it descent, by that time your sick of looking at it (at least thats how I am, then I wish I just would've bought it to begin with.) Well this post is to help solve all that. As I create things or get ideas, I will post the instructional videos here to help ya out! Now keep in mind, that as one takes much pride in their own creations.. it is also costly when you factor in your precious man hours and material cost, therefore, possible equally the purchase amount. But for you creative creatures out there that wanna save a buck.. this is the post for you! I showed you mine now I'd love to see yours!

If you'd like to submit an instructional video, please email me at: holliewooddesigns@gmail.com
or send in a pic of what you created after watching the videos. I'd love that!

A Hip Full of Baby.. One Mommy's ability to function with one arm

2009-06-29T13:52:00.000-07:00

Like every other mother, I too have my baby in tow and on my hip throughout the day... the entire day! She's one of those babies I like to call 'High Maintenance.' So crazy me holds her on hip 24/7. I foresee back surgery in the near future.. hey this kid ain't on the light side if ya know what I mean! As hip holding comes so naturally to us, we don't think about how much we have in common with 'Super Woman.' Think about it.. we're pretty amazing and adapt quickly to the one armed way of living. My own mom recently told me that after having children she realized that if she were to somehow lose an arm, she knew that she'd get along fine because she managed only having one arm for so many yrs due to having 5 children in a 12 yr period. I don't know how she did it. I guess some of us are born with the ability to have tremendous patience and some of us aren't. I am one of the latter... LOL. But I do have my one arm cocked and ready to fire at any task thrown my way. So this post is about the crazy wonderful things that we find ourselves doing with a kid on the hip. So come on, join in and share with us the many ways of your inner Super Woman.....

Going to the bathroom. Oh come on.. admit it.. you've done it. When you've got a cranky baby in tow that won't let you set 'em down unless you want to endure ear piercing pain.. you do what you gotta do!
Hollie San Julian, AZ
Cooking. Well I must say that the love of cooking is way in the past and now it's whatever is quickest. Thank god my husband is the cook. So I got lucky there. But when I do cook, it's always with one arm and almost always gets burned!
Hollie San Julian, Az

Makeup. With baby on hip side, I attempt makeup everyday. You have to.. It makes ya feel better. But with one hand, it only takes , oh, FOREVER! And never comes out looking right. Then there's makeup all over from when you tried to occupy baby by handing them your colorful eye shadow and your chapstick/lipgloss is chewed on and full of slobber.

Hollie San Julian, Az

Hair. Yes, I attempt to do my hair every... scratch that... almost every day. But with one arm, it's another task that takes nothing short of FOREVER! I mean, come on.. ONE ARM to do our hair. What is that?! Close to impossible is what it is! At least half of my head has combed hair.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Shopping. Duh! Any girl, mommy or not, can shop with one arm.. Heck we could shop without and limbs if so needed! It would just take us longer.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Making Beds. Oh Lordy.. I hated making our bed before the baby came, hated it even more with a baby in the belly and now I despise it, but I do it because I'm anal about everything being orderly. Sheesh, now making a bed with one arm is exhausting! I even get my feet involved to pull sheets around.

Hollie San Julian, Az

Get Dressed. I TRY to dress with lil' one on hip. Have you tried it? Don't! It sucks! Especially when the pants have buttons or a zipper.. Try managing that one. You think its easier to dress with a baby on your body that putting them down and having to make sure they don't get into anything or fall or whine for you. JUST PUT 'EM DOWN. GET DRESSED.. Freely!

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Crafts. Ok so I design jewelry and designer baby products. But if you only knew what I go thru just to get one item done.. HECk, half an item done. You'd think I was LOCO! With a baby that doesn't sleep, day or night, there's just no other choice. Got any suggestions?

Holie San Julian, Az

Blogging. Lets just put it this way... She's on me right now. And at the beginning of this post she was breastfeeding! Point taken?

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Eating. Oh yes.. I remember, vaguely, the days of eating.. You know.. Chew then swallow? Not piling in bites that are larger than your fist just to hurry up and finish because the kid(s) are getting crazy. Or remember when there was time for appetizers? Remember ordering exotic foods for yourself. Now I order foods only if they are easy to eat, if the baby can have what I'm ordering, if its finger foods to occupy baby while I bounce her up and down on my lap and stuff my face with my only free hand!

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Make Coffee. You know that cup of good stuff that gets you going in the A.M. Just a lil' harder to get going when you're making it one handed.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Contacts. I am about as blind as it gets. So first thing in morning I NEED my eyes in. I use to open my eyes with one hand then pop in contact with the other. Now it's one hand baby! That's talent.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Vacuuming. I do not recommend vacuuming with a tot on the hip. Oh goodness, is it ever exhausting. Vacuuming really does need two hand.. one to push it back & forth and the other to manage the long cord. RIGHT?! That's not possible when you are struggling with a lil heavy one. But guess what?.. I do it every time.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Cleaning. The house must be cleaned DAILY.. Especially with a lil one around. I am very anal about that. But Lordy does it ever take 4 times as long when you have an extra 21 lbs on one side that isn't helping you but is only leaning over and trying to grab things you have or things that you pass by. Usually while I am in the zone of cleaning she has grabbed something and is making a trail of mess.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Organize. The fridge, drawers, under sink..Yes, I am an orderly freak but there's just not enough time in day to do it while the bambino sleeps so, Yes, I organize with her in tow. Stupid because as mentioned just above, she grabs things and it just gets crazy.

Hollie San Julian, AZ

Drama. Us girls can talk and we do it with or without our kids, wherever & whenever we can. But when you're really getting into the conversation and really need to animate drama you really need BOTH hands. Am I Right?So it takes some talent to get a dramatic point across while holding baby and only using one hand. Ok and maybe some feet! LOL

Hollie San Julian, AZ
Moving. Yes, I mean moving from one house to another.. packing, loading, unloading.. all that bull crap! Hey its the worst task when you don't have children BUT when you do have children, it's 10 times worst than ever. We moved when our baby was 5 months old and I still look back and wonder how it all worked out. My feet definitely assisted in the moving process.
Hollie San Julian, AZ
Car Wash. Washing a big lifted truck one handed is exhausting AND messier than anything. Practically impossible. Actually it is impossible..I just typed this one in to see my hubby's mouth drop. I've never washed that truck. Heck NO! You kidding me! I'm sure Hubby was thinking.." when did she wash the truck...Hmmm?"
Hollie San Julian, AZ
Pill Poppin'. Headaches that is. When you got a baby weighing down one side, your back is crooked, your hip is cocked to one side, there's laundry to be folded, dishes to put away, carpet to vacuum, snacks to come up with, Blogs to blah Blah Blog about.. your bound to get a headache. But popping that Advil jar is a pain when ya got only one hand and it's child proof!
Hollie San Julian, AZ
Electronics. Ever have a prob with the VCR, cable box or stereo system? Well isn't more frustrating when you have the kiddo on the hip and you're trying to figure out what wrong with it. So then you set the kiddo down to figure it out but that only to have the lil' one tugging at your pant legs while screamin'. Hollie San Julian, AZ

Since having a child, I've learned...

Baby wipe cases have many faces...

Since Having a Child, I've Learned That....

2009-06-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

Since having a baby I have learned alot, I've realized alot and I've found out alot about myself, my husband, our families, new perspectives on many things and new capabilities. Some funny...Some not so funny but were all moms and I'm sure we can all relate. So read on and even join in by leaving a comment or emailing me so that I can add it to the list... Don't forget to leave your name & town, state. I look forward to reading and sharing what we've all learned in mommyhood!

The following comments are in no particular order.. except the first one! lol

SINCE HAVING A CHILD, I'VE LEARNED THAT...

I think the no.1 thing I have learned about myself since having a child is the ability to pick things up with my feet while carrying my baby! You know, especially those toys they drop repeatedly or those must have items (phone, remote, etc.) that are just out of reach when you're nursing or when you've finally got the lil' one to sleep. Now if I can just learn to cook with 'em while I got the lil one in tow... ew.
Hollie San Julian, AZ.

The other no.1 thing is my ability to function with one arm. With the baby in tow on hip is just my way of life now. It's crazy the things a mommy can actually do with one arm and two feet. Read my blog post, 'A Hip Full of Baby,' here!
hollie San Julian, Az

I've learned that I am more than capable of functioning on very minimal sleep. AND I mean MINIMAL. My 9 month old still wakes every 45min-1.5 hrs to nurse throughout the night!
Hollie San Julian, AZ

Since having a baby, I've realized that my patience can go from 0-100 in 2.2 sec! There's just no in between for me... I am either very patient or very impatient. There's just some days you can't help it. Every mom needs a break.. go take a short walk outside and breath in the fresh air! I'm still learning that getting outside the confining walls of home helps tremendously. I just have a hard time remembering that when everything I need to do IS in the house. lol..

I've learned that having a baby does not strengthen a marriage, it only makes you have to work harder at it.

I've learned that watching my hubby play, love and teach our baby things is one of the most heartfilling feelings a a person can witness.

I am still learning at this one but since having a baby, I've realized that not everything needs to be so organized and orderly. Now, I am sure my hubs would disagree with this one but i am trying. It's just better to put that laundry off a lil' longer or leave the toys all over the floor til later and use that time to roll on the floor for some quality time with the most special people in our lives.

Since having a baby I've realized that I should have cherished every moment when I could just get up and go somewhere. NOW, ... well you know.. diapers, milk, getting the lil one dressed, diaper bags, change of clothes, toys, wipees, bulky cart covers, pacifiers, favorite blankys, snacks... It's endless and yet still you always forget something. Oh yes, the baby, getting baby in carseat (when they hate it and fight it), making sure they are entertained, Trying to drive properly while they are screaming. Then finally getting to the destination and now it's their naptime... it's a vicious circle! lol

After having a baby, I now notice how big the tiniest of noises are when the baby is sleeping. Normally those noises never made any impact on my life.. but when this kid is asleep, the even the air conditioning turning on could potentially wake her AND PISS me off!
Hollie San Julian, AZ

I've learned that you have to be very very very creative when it comes to 'one on one' time (no pun intended) with your hubby. Those leizurely sex sessions are gone out the window. 'Quickies' are what they are now. LOL!

Hollie San Julian, Az

Since the kiddo has arrived, I've learned that I should have cherished the moments when I could eat in peace. Remember the nights out with the hubsters?.. nice restaurant, wine, appetizers, nowhere to be but just in the moment... When eating consisted of chewing instead of shoveling.
Hollie San Julian, AZ
Since having a baby, I've learned that video baby monitors are not just for babies. Wanna spice up a night with the hubs? After baby is asleep sneak the video monitor and give the hubsters a peep show for his eyes only. wink, wink ;) Have fun!
Hollie San Julian, AZ
After having a baby I have learned that it's not as easy as I thought to lose the 'baby' fat. So I take advantage of the time I have while Breastfeeding her and I stand and do squats, leg lifs, ab exercise. It really works AND puts her right to sleep!

Lil' About Me

2009-06-10T09:20:00.000-07:00

Hi! My name is Hollie San Julian & I’m the proud designer of Holliewood Designs. I love, love, love stylish trends & fashions, interesting & luxurious chic boutique items & just the day to day Glitz & Glamour of being a girly girl but it was my appreciation for peoples diverse beauty & uniqueness that initially led to my photography biz, PhireBirds Photography & Design. As photography will always be my 1st professional love & joy, I have to say that since expecting a new baby Girl & realizing all the ’bling’ that can go with it, is what led to my new found love of designing unique couture items for ladies & babies. It started with genuine crystal baby luxury items but quickly turned to include my own jewelry designs for young girls & women. And there’s no telling what else that will lead to, so keep an eye out for all the lastest additions!(You can subscribe today or become a follower so that you do not miss a thing!) Newly married to a fantastic hubby, beautiful new baby girl & two businesses to manage has its challenges but it’s what I love & is so worth it to be able to capture beauty as well as distribute beauty designs to my customers. Of course I realize I’m not the only artist with distinguised ideas for other people of the world seeking unique arts to compliment their everyday lives. But I think you'll enjoy looking around my site as you will find that my designs include one- of-a-kind trends, fashions & handcrafted luxuries. There's a little something for everyone from babies to ladies.

Baby Wipe Cases Have Many Faces... Not just for Babies anymore!

2009-06-09T12:03:00.000-07:00

Your diaper wipe case serves a great convenient purpose... wiping your child's TUSHY! But guess what??... Baby wipe cases aren't just for babies anymore. Your wipee case has multiple uses. Look below for more ideas on ways to put your wipee case to use in ways that work for YOU. Have an idea for wipee cases that's not on this list? I would love to hear it. Don't forget to include your name and town/state because you deserve credit for your great ideas!

Place crayons, scrap paper or folded larger pieces of paper, stickers or small stamps inside. Perfect for when you're at a restaurant, friends/family house, any place away from home.
When traveling, Place your necklaces and rings inside for safe keeping and easy access.
Keep first aid items inside and place in your purse, car or diaper bag for BooBoos on the Go.
A great gift idea for anyone would be to place photos inside. You could include photos of family or a vacation taken and decorate the case accordingly. Even make a special memory case of a passed family member. This new twist on a photo album looks great on a coffe table or self. Also, babies love looking at photos of familiar faces, just place inside and go through them with your lil' one anytime. They love it!
Use as a cute convenient storage for your child's flashcards instead of that ugly rubberband.
Primp in style.. Place your mani and pedi needs inside to carry with you in your car, purse or office. Perfect for tweezers, nail file, nail clippers, small or flatter polishes, cuticle cutters and more!
Store your extra buttons to clothes inside. Or use to store the buttons and small parts you use for your craft projects.
For the Frugal Shopper, place your grocery coupons inside. Go to the store and shop fashionably frugal!
Keep your many bobby pins, safety pins, small hair accessories inside so that all those small items are in one place. My sister comes to mind on this one.. go to her house and you'll see a million bobby pins around.. not just in the bathroom but near windows, around the couch, kitchen, you name it! Maybe I should help her out and make her a case.
For the chef in your family, personalize a case and add their favorite recipe cards inside.
For the discreet, place several tampons inside. You'll have a pretty lil' case with a private secret inside.

Jewelry Sizes - Choosing Your Right Fit

2009-05-12T12:43:00.000-07:00

NECKLACES:

Different necklace lengths are appropriate for different occasions. There are plenty of choices for every style and every neck shape. Here are some descriptions & tips about necklace lengths.

HINT: Any necklace can be resized to a shorter length. So if you see a long length necklace and want to make it a shorter length... No problem. Just call, email or leave comment upon making payment. Please specify desired sizing. Sorry, necklaces can be lengthened.

Collar — 12/13 inches

Collars are usually made up of three or more strands or a single wide ribbon and lie snugly on the middle of the neck. Very elegant and luxurious, collars go best with elegant V-neck, boat neck or off the shoulder fashions. While they are usually known to be worn with evening wear, today, anything goes and can also be worn with jeans.

Choker — 14/16 inches

A choker is perhaps the most classic and yet versatile of all the single strand lengths. A simple choker can go with virtually any outfit from casual to fancy evening wear and just about any neckline imaginable. This is a good necklace length for a child. This way the necklace has "growth room".

Princess — 17/19 inches

The most popular size is the princess length necklace as it is best suited for high collared shirts/blouses, crew necklines and also complements low plunging necklines very well.

Matinee — 20/24 inches

Longer than the princess, and just a bit shorter than an opera length, the matinee necklace is the right choice for casual or business dressing.

Opera — 28/34 inches

The opera necklace is the queen of all the lengths. When worn as a single strand, it is refined and perfect for high or crew necklines. When doubled upon itself, it serves as a versatile two strand chocker/princess. Opera size draws the eyes down to your chest and away from your neck. This is a good thing if your bosom is more attractive than your chin, but wear a good bra!

Rope or Lariat — Over 45 inches

Dripping with elegance and sensuously sexy, the pearl rope was a favorite of Coco Chanel. Clasps placed in strategic locations around the necklace will enable you to break it down into multi-strand necklace and bracelet combinations. For those looking for the complete wardrobe, this length is a must. Lariats are at last 48 inches long, some with the ends left unattached for knotting or wrapping around the neck. So be aware as they draw attention to your curves, causing the eye to sweep down your torso. You can double or triple strand them for shorter lengths.

BRACELETS:

I measure bracelet lengths from end to end, including the clasp. In jewelry descriptions I will specify whether or not the bracelet clasp is adjustable. The easiest way to determine your bracelet length is to wrap a string around your wrist, and then measure the string. Add one inch to this measurement to determine your bracelet length. For children under 13, add 3/4 of an inch.

Average lengths according to bone structure are provided below.

Adult bracelet sizes:

Very small - 6.5

Small - 7"

Medium - 7.5"

Large - 8"

X-Large - 8-9"
