Wear Jewelry Like Eva Longoria

Okay, so we'll admit that Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is beautiful no matter what jewelry she wears – in fact she could probably hang a pair of old sneakers around her neck and still look great – but we believe that's because she knows how to make those tennis treads look their best, and not the other way around. The following four tips will help you make the most of your jewelry too.1. One Hairstyle Per NightHave you ever seen Eva unclip a gorgeous updo mid-red carpet? Or sweep her locks into a ponytail halfway through a Spurs game? Neither have we. Nor do we expect to anytime soon, due to a fact that the rest of us fidgety, hairband-toting ladies seem to have forgotten: If you choose a hairstyle before you leave the house, not only will your hair-free hands display confidence and allow you to hold your cocktail (and his), you will have had the advantage of choosing jewelry for that hairstyle in front of a mirror. While we're at it, we're going to suggest that when your hair is down, feel free to wear something a bit shinier and showier, so that it is not lost underneath the tresses. On the other hand, err on the subtler side when your ears and neckline are exposed. Too much bling will take away from the real gem (you).2. Big Should Be BeautifulEva's defined cheekbones and oval face combine to create negative space along her chinbone where big hoops and long dangles hang. In this case, bigger earrings give length to her face (where smaller ones have the opposite effect), but there is a risk in that any bigger piece of jewelry draws a lot of attention. So we suggest that, much like our favorite actress, you don't just throw any old pair of earrings in before you leave the house. The earrings Eva chooses are always confident, graceful and of earthy stones like chalcedony and citrine…qualities that many would also attribute to Eva herself. This combination of accessories complements, not overwhelms, the face it hangs from.3. Simple Should Be StrikingRecently, Eva was photographed with a large Green Quartz and layered gold pendant necklace. Pendant necklaces offer an opportunity for personalization that other designs don't because gemstones come in all sizes, shapes and colors. So if green makes your skin look wan, choose amethyst or topaz instead. If you prefer a stand alone gold chain, go for it. The point is not to copy Eva exactly, but to embrace the elements that make her jewelry work – the beauty of a single, visible stone, enhanced but not outdone by a delicate chain, will only be upstaged by your own radiant face.4. Personalize the Engagement RingHonestly, we doubt that many of our readers are about to receive a ring made of 148 diamonds, or for that matter, marry an NBA star. But we do think you should feel like a celebrity during your engagement, and Eva has shown us that the trick is to make the ring as personal as Tony did. Eva's darker skin tone cries out for diamonds, so it makes sense that her ring would carry so many. Another option is to select a whiter metal, like sterling silver or platinum, for a band that will stand out on her finger. If your skin is already pale enough, flank the diamond with a couple of small, colorful gemstones and a gold band. This will make the diamond pop, no matter its size.In true Hollywood style, Tony went overboard by engraving a message (in his own handwriting!) inside the shank of the ring. We like a comparable, but less pricey italicized inscription on the inside of the band. Think of it as a private message that your finger can read day after day.

Hannah Montana Tickets

Disney Channel?s creation Hannah Montana is a cute, funny and family friendly TV show about a girl called Miley Stewart who leads a normal life by day but at night dons a blonde wig to perform as a famous pop star Hannah. The show includes original music recorded by its star, Miley. Mitchel Musso and Emily Osment star as the friends of Miley who know her big secret and Jason Earles stars as Miley's brother named Jackson. He may be the craziest one. Asking dad for money, impressing girls, (or at least trying) and doing everything the hard way is what he is all about. Miley's dad Robbie, (played by Miley?s real life dad and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus) has to be the dad and the mom of the family which includes cleaning, and discipline. But along with that, Robbie also tries to spend some time with the kids and be the cool parent. Robbie is also Hannah's manager. Hannah shows us all that we can reach for and live the dream. Hannah Montana is a role that has turned Miley Cyrus into a real-life TV star and Hannah Montana into a monster hit. The show has become the most popular show on television among pre-teen girls ages 9 to 14 and is consistently watched by more kids ages 6 to 11 than any other TV series. There are Hannah Montana fan clubs, web sites, mobile phone clips, branded apparel.The star of the show Miley Cyrus was plucked from the ranks of minor actors by Disney and anointed to be its newest star. While she certainly has musical talent and charisma, she's also the product of a winning formula for creating shows that teens (meaning pre-teens) love and make stars out of its leads. Like other Disney Channel series, Hannah Montana was cast-contingent when the network green-lighted the concept in 2005. The search for the right actress to play Miley Stewart ? Hannah Montana by night ? went on for a year. The young woman had to be appealing and cool for tweens but also parent-friendly. From the start there was no question that music would be a big part of the series. Around 2001, when the Disney Channel started to catch on with its kid-driven family ( http://www.ticketnest.com/Children-Family.php ) friendly shows like Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible, executives realized that music was an important part of the formula for serving audience in their pre teens. By sponsoring concerts and turning series leads into pop stars, they could launch music acts and beef up the show's brand. Walt Disney Records' 2003 release of Hillary Duff's album and soundtrack proved them right, followed by The Cheetah Girls, a music-based TV movie about four friends aspiring to be pop stars featuring Symone of Raven. Eventually the script of Hannah Montana was shelved because they couldn't find the right actress to play the part. It so happened that Miley Cyrus, who is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray ("Achy Breaky Heart") Cyrus ? who plays her dad in the show ? was raised on music, a prerequisite for Hannah, and had acted in several small roles. But she was sent home after an audition because she was too small. So Miley went back to Tennessee and spent the next year inundating the producers with tapes of herself performing, until they relented and gave the her role. When she's not performing, Miley enjoys the company of her five siblings, Christopher, Braison Chance, Brandi, Trace and Noah Lindsey, and her dog Loco who lives with them in Los Angeles. The rest of her dogs, cats, horses, chickens and cows had to stay at their Nashville, Tennessee home when they moved to LA in 2005 to start the filming. Miley had to say goodbye to her whole-life friends, so her new lifestyle also includes long hours on the phone. Her hobbies include her job: dancing, cheerleading, singing, playing the guitar and writing music. Miley Cyrus has made musical history in the U.S. by becoming the youngest artist to have two number one albums in under a year. Every song by Hannah Montana is a winner, upbeat and positive, with clean uplifting lyrics perfectly sung to catchy well written pop songs. Highlights of the album include the show's theme, "Best of Both Worlds," "Who Said," and "This Is The Life." Hannah Montana has become this year's true pre-teen music phenomenon - the TV show is a mega-hit, the series has received its first EMMY nomination for "Outstanding Children's Program". The soundtracks top the album charts and the tour featuring Miley who appears as Miley Stewart and performs as Hannah is selling-out across the country.
