Not going to a ball? Are you sure?

You don’t have to be Cinderella and wait for a fairy god mother to show up and bail you out. You can be ready. Finding a dress and shoes is easy. Finding the perfect jewelry not so easy.

Ladies, now’s the good time to imagine what you’d most want to look like waltzing into a ballroom, turning heads, and stopping the music.

Men, now’s the time to picture the woman of your dreams holding your arm as you introduce her to people who just gaze at her elegance and admire her jewelry as a statement of the success you both share.

Picture the pieces from our gemstone collection in whatever role you’d like to be in, and order yours now from these genuine selections described below:

•    Blue Topaz, Peridot, Amethyst, Citrine Necklace

Remember, guys, we have men’s rings in Yellow Sapphire (three styles),  in Blue Sapphire and in Jade. When you reach out to shake the hand of a president or other VIP, show them your success with the subtle message your choice in a gemstone ring conveys.

Our prices range from around $400.00 to around $22,000.00 with many selections in the middle of the range. We think there’s something here for anyone headed to a ball, inaugural, New Year’s, or private (to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, or engagement, for instance).

If you aren’t sure what you want, here are a gemstone descriptions you may find useful in making your choice. We all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but did you know that in mysticism, the Topaz is attributed with a cooling, styptic, and appetizing effect? It is said to dispel sadness, anger, and nocturnal fears, to warn its wearer of poisons and protect the wearer from sudden death. It is reputed to make men handsome and intelligent and to make sterile women fertile and happy.

Amethyst and Citrine are both varieties of quartz. Amethyst is in the color category of purple/lavender/violet. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed that wearing Amethyst would protect them from intoxication (not a belief endorsed by  I-ShopTheWorld.com; we just admire the stone’s crystalline beauty). Citrine ranges in color from pale yellow to brown and is one of the three birthstones for the month of November. It’s never too late to give someone a birthstone.

Peridot is a vivid green with a hint of gold and is an ideal stone to express your endorsement of the current green movement to assure the survival of the environment. Peridot itself is a surviving stone, having a history that dates back to the ancient Egyptian jewelry from the early second millennium B.C. Peridot is nicknamed “the emerald of the evening” because it retains its radiance even when worn in artificial light, making it the perfect choice for an inaugural ball, a wedding dance, or a girl’s first prom.

Take a look at our complete gemstone jewelry collection and make your selection now—don’t wait for your invitation to a ball; just get on the ball and do it!

Please Reply Here and Share with All of Your Friends both in The United States and all over the world what jewelry, gowns, etc. You are or would wear to any of the Inaugural Balls and/or to any Parties you may be hosting and/or attending in celebration of Barack Obama‘s Inauguration as the next President of The United States and/or in celebration of the Inauguration of any other politicians or world leaders ok?

We’ve been wondering if we should expand that product line to complement our line of genuine 100% Thai clothing and our extensive line of gemstone and SilverLily jewelry. So, once again we turned to our friend Ellee for some guidance, knowing that purses are an important part of her accessory wardrobe and she has admittedly spent years of consumptive research in her quest for the perfect purse.
Ellee’s handbag history runs something like the following, which we presume represents good market research on the subject or purses:
•    First purse she remembers was a little multi-colored drawstring that matched her mom’s when she was in first grade.
•    She traded the little drawstring to her best friend in second grade for a hot pink clutch with white beaded flowers.
•    However, it wasn’t long before another charming purse caught her eye. Only problem was she never could convince her other best friend that the hot pink beaded clutch was worth the friend’s shoulder strap with the alligator head on it. Nor could she convince my parents to buy her one of those. “My mom said it was too expensive. My dad said it wasn’t nice to kill little animals and paste their heads on purses,” Elle says.
•    The little pink beaded clutch had to suffice until a new aunt tried to win her approval by passing along a little black satiny bag Ellee had admired with a detachable shoulder strap. Its blended smells of her aunt’s cosmetics made her realize for the first time that a purse could smell like something besides chewing gum. Her mother’s purse always smelled like spearmint gum. Her grandma’s pocketbook (Grandma’s term for her only handbag—a black patent leather beauty) smelled like juicy fruit gum. She didn’t carry the perfumed one to school for very long. Someone told her it looked too grown up for a little girl.
•    One day in high school a girl two grades up from her appeared with a huge black bag. Did she ever start a fad! Peer pressure mandated that Ellee put one like that on her Christmas list.
•    She downsized for her senior prom, however, and carried the traditional little bag with pearl beads.
•    When she got married, she picked out a pink patent leather purse with matching shoes for her honeymoon to the Bahamas.
•    As an adult, her first and only radio talk show appearance was the excuse she needed to spend $180 on a purse that proved to be way too heavy but made her appreciate the smell of leather. It made quite an impression on the host, who complimented it.
•    The dye rubbed off her next best find, but she converted it to a travel kit because of its three compartments and handles.
•    Her in-laws brought a fur purse with a doll in a papoose pouch on it from Alaska, but it sort of defied that killing-little-animals-thing-to-make-a-purse that her dad taught her.
•    They also brought her a beaded beauty from Africa that is much more suited to displaying than carrying.
•    She has a macrame’ artifact from the ‘70s, inherited a hand-crocheted bag from her husband’s grandmother (functions as a fine decoration on my bathroom wall), and has one a friend’s mother knitted for her—complete with matching hat.
•    The crown jewel of her collection may just be a replica of the Pony Express mail bag. She cut its picture from a catalog and kept it in her wish file for a couple of years before she gave in and spent the most she’s ever spent on a purse (more than $300 including shipping and handling). Only problem is the mail bag is heavy so she doesn’t use it.
•    She has used canvas toolbags she guys at hardware stores for purses.
•    And, her quest goes on. She says she’d like the entire collection of natural handcrafted water hyacinth handbags from I-ShopTheWorld.com.

Ellee’ purse quest includes all price ranges, sizes, shapes, and styles, and currently includes over 50 handbags.  And, her quest goes on. She says she’d like the entire collection of natural handcrafted water hyacinth handbags from I-ShopTheWorld.com.  We asked her why, and she said  she likes the colors, the shapes, and the flare they have.

With this market research in the (hand)bag, we’ll be shopping the world in our quest to find another appealing product line of purses.

Are you one of those people who dresses all decked out in full holiday-themed attire for a week or more before Christmas? We know people who don holiday clothing the day after Thanksgiving and wear it daily till December 26 when they put it away and start shopping for close-out prices to replenish their wardrobe for the next holiday season.

If you are one of those people with shirts, jewelry, and even purses that reflect your joyful Christmas spirit and express your style but are getting really for that theme to end, then you must be a candidate for yet another way to express a distinct fashion and clothing style.

Ladies and Gentlemen: May we suggest that you outfit yourself with some choice new shirts, jewelry, and accessories from I-ShopTheWorld.com?

May we offer a few suggestions:

• For the men, nothing compares to the look and feel of genuine
  100% real Thai silk handcrafted shirts. Order them in every color.  We have to admit, when it comes to men’s clothing, one style does seem to fit all. Remember, our real Thai silk is not blended with any other type of material. For a unique more dressy look for the men in your life, how about some   handcrafted Thai embroidered dress shirts or for a more casual look how about some men’s casual shirts in a variety of colors?
• For women, the choices are broader, but definitely a must-have is a 100% real Thai silk handcrafted dress. Remember, our 100% real Thai silk fabric is handcrafted by skilled native artisans in Thailand from 100% real high quality Thai silk beginning with the silk threads straight from the cocoons of real  silk worms.  Our top quality real Thai silk fabric is hand-woven; not manufactured or mass produced.  Remember, real Thai silk fabric is dyed with top quality colors to ensure long-lasting, ravishing colors.
• Add at least a couple real Thai handcrafted dresses and  real Thai handcrafted skirts to that wardrobe and voila! You will be dressed in some of the finest garments you’ve ever owned.

And, wouldn’t you like to accessorize with a new purse? Picture how a natural handcrafted water hyacinth handbag will look slung over your shoulder.

Add some cheerful color or accents. Take another look at:

• SilverLily jewelry
• Thai handcrafted wood earrings and necklaces

Ladies if you happen to live in the United States and live “up north” or in some other country where the days are cold and often very dreary, your wardrobe does not have to be dull and drab to match the weather. For a post-holiday de-stressing idea and that fresh, rejuvenating summer feeling, stay home one day, turn up the heat, buy a few bags of sand from the local home improvement store, fill a plastic sandbox, plant a plastic palm tree in it, and then kick off your shoes and sit back in your favorite lawn chair for a few hours reading a favorite book while wearing sunglasses and a 100% cotton sundress.

Make your picks and click the convenient links we provide at I-ShopTheWorld.com to order. Your new wardrobe is just a few clicks away.

We’ll send your selections directly you in a few days so you can step out in the new calendar year with a bold, fresh, successful look that reflects your personality and good taste.
