Animal prints are still a fashion trend, if you are one who doesn’t like to wear this look in your clothing then having a bit of jungle in your accessories will pop it such as the Michele Watches Safari Tiger Ladies model does. There is just enough of a pattern to accentuate any outfit with this design.

The dial is made from enamel in a black and gold tiger print with a brilliant design that has the diamond enhanced striping flowing from the case through to the dial. There are forty seven diamonds all hand set on the dial alone. The case is made from one of the hottest metals on the market, rose gold plated over stainless steel, which warms the look on the wrist. The case has another sixty eight diamonds. The Michele logo can be found at 12 o’clock, there are no other numbers on the dial giving it a minimalist look. The 7 inch adjustable bracelet is done in a panther link style with a deployment style clasp for security and is made from plated rose gold as well. As with all Michele watches, it can be changed out with any other straps in the Michele collection.

The watch has a presence with the case being 33mm by 46mm and the strap is 18mm. With a total of 115 diamonds on this piece with a carat weight of 0.46 it is an impressive timepiece that can dress up any outfit with a touch of flair. It is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, 50 meters or 150 feet and is driven by battery operated Swiss quartz movement for dependability. A mineral crystal protects the dial. The hour hands are done in rose gold tone and have a hint of luminosity on them to allow one to tell the time no matter what level of light is available and there is a seconds hand as well.

I grew up watching the constant reruns of the Universal Studios series of Sherlock Holmes films starring Basil Rathbone as the ace detective and Nigel Bruce as his exceedingly bumbling confident Doctor Watson, back in the day when black and white movies were still shown on terrestrial television. I graduated to the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories as bedtime reading and became somewhat of an aficionado in my late teens. My father who was also a boyhood fan encouraged me to join the Sherlock Holmes Society which, in the pre-Internet era, sent out a copy of The District Messenger, a single page newsletter produced by Roger Johnson roughly once a month since 1982.

Whilst there have been some excellent Holmesian television adaptations, most notably the Granada ‘Adventures’ series starring Jeremy Brett whose performance is on a par with David Suchet’s long running portrayal of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, the more recent film versions have been less than satisfying; the last decent outing was probably Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes with Robert Stephens donning the renowned deerstalker. So, it was in trepidation that I ventured out to the cinema with my wife to see director Guy Ritchie’s action-packed Legendary Pictures reboot with the unlikely pairing of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as the sleuthing duo.

Any fears were quickly allayed as the script (whose storyline was meticulously researched by Lionel Wigram, co-producer and author of the graphic novel on which the film is based) not only captures the celebrated Conan Doyle creations but screenwriter Michael Robert Johnson has faithfully fleshed them out, presenting them afresh for the sensibilities of the 21st century motion picture audience. To some the plot may seem episodic and, at times, convoluted and it contrives to set up the forthcoming sequel in the final reel, but none of that is at odds with the spirit of the original Strand Magazine publications of the 1890s, which thoroughly exploited the cliff-hanger.

If there was ever any doubt about Robert Downey Jr.’s rehabilitation as an out and out movie star then Sherlock Holmes puts pay to that, the role cries out for the diamond-cut precision and razor’s edge synonymous with his recent performances; I can’t imagine anyone else bringing this particular Holmes to the screen with such alacrity, intuition and intelligence. Somewhat surprisingly, Jude Law also scores highly as the long suffering Doctor, bringing a hitherto unseen charm and dynamism to his John Watson, which lends itself more convincingly as to why Holmes craves his approval and friendship, an aspect so often missing when he’s simply depicted as an inept half-wit.

Today is a great time to be a plus size girl! There are a wealth of sexy plus size clothes available these days thanks to the clothing industry finally realizing that most women don’t look like stick-thin supermodels.

In the past it may have been difficult to find sexy plus size lingerie, but not now thanks to the boom in online shopping.

Here’s how to buy really hot plus size lingerie that will make you feel great and drive your man wild!

It is a common and hurtful misconception that plus size girls should cover up, avoiding short skirts and lingerie, but actually a curvy woman is a real woman! Consider ancient cave-paintings or clay figures. Did the women look like skinny models? No! They are curvy in all the right places!

Lingerie can be a tricky type of clothing to buy in plus sizes, but if you find a matching set of bra, panties and even garter belt and tights you will be amazed at the huge confidence boost it will give you!

Because you’re a plus size you have a curvier shape than other girls, so you don’t want to go for something that is skin-tight and made from figure-hugging fabric as this may not be flattering for your shape.

Instead choose looser, less clingy items such as sheer negligees and babydolls to give you some coverage over the top of your bra and panties.

A negligee will give you a lot of coverage which will help your confidence, but if it’s sheer it will also allow a glimpse of your beautiful body, teasing and tantalizing your man!

A babydoll could be an even better choice as it is similar in form to a negligee, but often has fitted cups which will give good form and support to your bust (and even a boost in some cases!).

Here are 5 tips to help you choose some great styles:

Shop online for best choice:

Buying lingerie can sometimes be a little nerve-wracking, especially if you’re buying something that’s quite sexy and risqué. You’ll find a huge choice online though and you can choose anything without worrying about sideways glances and whispered conversations.

Comfort is key:

Don’t try to fit yourself into really tight lingerie. It’s better to choose something that’s more comfortable, therefore perhaps instead of having a thong you may choose French knickers, or instead of a cat suit you could go for a bustier.
