Sarah Michelle Gellar slayed the competition when she wore some great jewelry to The CW Network Summer 2011 TCA. During the RINGER Panel Session Gellar looked great while sitting with her cast and talking about her new fall show where she plays twins. Her standout jewelry piece was some wavy gold hoops. You can find similar wavy gold hoops by Portia Jewelry $16.00 from Amazon, HERE. They’re a great, standard and classic piece with a little bit more pizazz.

For various reasons (not being a jet-set millionaire definitely being one of them ), it's been a long time - far longing than I care to admit, actually, since I last frolicked around at the beach.
Chalk it up to poor health, living away from bodies of water, and a hectic life. Yet, these excuses really don't seem to cut it any more. I miss swimming a great deal (I'm very allergic to chlorine, so I can't use chlorinated public pools and Toronto, to the best of my knowledge, does not have any public salt water pools unfortunately), and wish dearly that I could blink my eyes, tap my heels, and suddenly find myself on a tropic beach somewhere gorgeous, the ocean lapping at my ankles.
Alas though, as the fan whirls in my ear and the constant rush of city traffic roars past below my balcony, I know that such a dreamy vacation is just that, a dream for the time being. Nevertheless, even if (like me) you're not en route to the Caribbean, Mediterranean or Riviera right now, a gal can still have fun thinking about what kinds of vintage swimsuits she's wear to the beach if she was suddenly standing in the sand.
For a quick, yet thoroughly delightful overview of the history of swimsuits as they evolved through the first decades of the twentieth century to help bolster your vintage bathing suit inspiration file, be sure to check out one of Glamourdaze most recent Youtube videos, a look back at vintage swimwear.
The styles seen in this lovely clip run the gamut from gamine to vixen. Some are relatively modest, others full-on pin-up girl worthy beguiling, leaving just a hint to the imagination.
All, however, share in common the fact that they are beautiful, well-tailored, elegant, becoming, feminine, and marvellously appealing. Whether you prefer one pieces of the 1920s and 30s, or go gaga for flirty 40s two piece suits, these examples of yesteryear swimwear are exceedingly easy to swoon over.
As I sit here, the hours of another beach-less summer day ticking past, I can't help but feel refreshed by this wonderful vintage swimwear video, which has made me even more determined to get to the beach next summer!
Whether you're diving into the lake every day, just get a few hours at the each summer, or have your own backyard pool to splash around in any time you please, I hope that you enjoy this charming look back at the history of bathing ensembles as much as I did. Here?s to hoping we all make to the beach a whole lot sooner than later!

You don’t have to like Jessica Simpson to follow in her footsteps and have a ruby engagement ring. What better colored gem than red to show the passion of your love and eternal union of bliss? (Well, hopefully it’s mostly bliss, if not always stunningly blissful. Fights will happen, especially over small things like the “right” way to fold sheets or put toilet paper on the roll.) The following five ruby engagement rings for women have one thing in common: they’re traditional and classic, there’s nothing trendy or too over-the-top about them. Each of them has diamond adornments, and they are all made with white gold. It’s a popular combination because it looks so elegant. Trivia: Ruby Engagement rings are great for July birthdays since ruby is their birthstone.

You know what they say? They say in order to keep up with the short attention spans of their Twitter followers, the pop stars of today must churn out new albums and star in new Lars von Trier movies every year to remind us that they continue to exist. Leading the way through the treacherous waters of the new mediascape is Charlotte Gainsbourg, who announced that her second album in two years, Stage Whisper, will be released on Nov. 7. Moreover, it's a double album to be preceded by an EP called Terrible Angels on Sept. 5.
According to NME, Stage Whisper is made up of live and unreleased studio tracks from her 2010 album IRM and includes collaborations with Beck, Noah And The Whale, Conor O'Brien of Villagers and Connan Mockasin. In other words, it's what the Arcade Fire's manager might dismiss as "a repackage." Lady Gaga might counter that the French star is merely "freshening up" her old material. Either way we plan on purchasing a physical copy of the album legally from an actual record store.
Watch the video for "Terrible Angels" above and check the album tracklisting after the jump.

In the world of beverages, beer is not my favourite. However, that's not why I won't be drinking any today. Instead it's due to the fact that I'm not able to consume any alcohol at all due to medical reasons. Thus a sip of beer hasn't passed my lips in almost a decade.
Beer, however, has been (often in the form of ale) the drink of the people for centuries, beloved by everyone from college kids at spring break bashes to micro brew swigging connoisseurs, and when the sun is pelting down your neck during these dog days of summer, it can be precisely what one needs to beat the beat.
Beer's history is a rich one that's steeped in legend and fact, a bubbling mix of ideas that caught on and others that raise more eyebrows than they do blood alcohol levels. From the recent trend in flavoured beers (I've heard pumpkin beer is fantastic, but can't speak first hand) to the classic taste of hops, beer finds its way into nearly every country and the fridges of many, many households the world over.
Started four years ago in Santa Cruz, California, International Beer Day is centered around three points: to bring folks together to enjoy the refreshing flavour of a good beer, to honour those who brew and serve up beer, and to unite the world in a celebration of all the beers of each nation and culture.
It's obviously not a real holiday, and it's not a vintage related day, but what is old school is beer itself. For about as long as beverage companies have been placing ads in the public eye, beer has been in the lime (lime wedge? ) light.
During the mid-twentieth century beer was amongst the most common beverages seen in print ads, and few companies at the time did a better job of promoting their product than Rheingold Beer.
Famous throughout North America for their Miss Rheingold Girls (attractive young women who were chosen to be the face of the company in print ads for a year at a time), between 1940 and 1965, these lovely lasses helped peddle Rheingold's drinks to the nation.
Though Rheingold's popularity diminished as the century wore on and the Rheingold Girls disappeared from the public's eye, today the ads of this once highly popular beer company make for some of the most charming and attractive vintage alcoholic beverage advertisements of the day.
So while I won't be polishing off a cold, foamy pint today myself, I will be looking through some of my favourite Rheingold Beer ads (like the beautiful one above from 1955, which comes by way of curly-whirly on Flickr) in celebration of the undeniable role that beer has long held in our culture.
Whether you're busting out the bottle opener or joining me in a less carbonated celebration of ale, cheers and happy International Beer Day, everyone!
