Best Tip on Where To Find Accessories For Men - Fanya black Italian leather belt

Hi There..... Do you, or maybe your husband, like to wear leather belts? Also, do you find it hard sometimes to find the perfect accessories for men? 

I wonder what your answer to both questions would be. Such a shame that blog posts can’t be more interactive. You could let me know if you love leather belts or not, and maybe you are the champion in finding great accessories for men. No matter what you answer, I would still write about the same subject, anyway. 😁

If you read my interview blog post on Wednesday, you would now know why. Unless you are just as forgetful as me, then you wouldn’t remember that I told you I am a kind soul. I never tease people. πŸ˜‡

Haha, false, of course. I told you I am evil. Ah, and it is obvious I love to tease other people. It’s not my fault, however. My mom and dad teased me, my sisters did, and now my hubby does it too. Anything they can do, I can do better. 😎

When I was young, I always thought I was the worst at everything. Safe to say I suffered from a serious inferiority complex. Perhaps I will tell you more about that in another blog post, just not today. Today’s blog post will be about accessories for men because Trendhim gifted me this leather belt in exchange for my honest opinion. 😊

About Trendhim

Accessories for men are not about dressing up for special occasions, nor are they reserved for a specific group of men. It’s not about gimmicks or looking good. It’s about telling your story and expressing what makes you your own. One way to do that is through the smaller things you wear—accessories.

Trendhim designs quality accessories for men that are fashionable and affordable. They currently have 13 brands in their portfolio launching several collections a year and an ever-growing arsenal of articles to help you get the most from your order.

Founding of Trendhim

It was late 2007 when Sebastian and Mikkel founded Trendhim. They were 18 and finishing up their last year of high school. They were young, energetic, burning with the desire to start their own business... and naΓ―ve enough to actually go for it.

They came up with 2 ideas – a home delivery service for bread on the weekends and an online store with jewelry and accessories for men.

You know how they say entrepreneurs must do whatever it takes to make their business succeed? Well. As much as they would love to agree, they quickly decided that the whole getting up at 4 a.m. to deliver bread thing wasn't really their cup of tea.

And that was it! Morning bread suffered a swift death, and from the charcoaled ashes of waking up early... rose Trendhim.

Fanya black Italian leather belt

Every man’s closet should have a black leather belt. Designed for both casual and formal occasions, this selection from Fawler offers a stylish touch and will pair well with other silver-tone accessories.

Cut from full-grain, vegetable-tanned Italian leather, it features a nickel-plated brass buckle, beveled edges, and a glossy finish.

The Italian craftsmanship is clear in every detail of this leather belt, from the stitching to the Italian hardware and leather. The top-quality hide used will get better with age and improve in feel, texture, and comfort.

Designed in Denmark. Fawler storage pouch included.

MATERIAL
Genuine full-grain leather
DIMENSIONS
Width: 1 3/8"
Buckle: 2 15/16" x 1 9/16"

My opinion on the leather belt

My hubby is so happy with this belt. He says it's simple and beautiful, just perfect. The luxury drawstring bag is a nice extra. This leather belt doesn't press into his belly button like some others do. 

Picture by Seadbeady

The only negative may be that at the moment it feels quite stiff, but I am sure that it will get better with age, as they say. 

A big plus is you don't have to worry about punching holes in your belt that wear out and stretch. No more problems with tightening or loosening the belt, because of the handy belt buckle.

Where To Find 24 Great Gifts For Women - Handmade Gift Guide - 10/2021

Hi There..... Are you ready for another gift guide?

What if I told you I had some new great gifts for women, of which some can be useful for men too? I do, but this time my gift guide is different. I filled it with all kinds of handmade gifts. 😍

Perhaps you are curious why I am a fan of handmade, and why I published this handmade gift guide. The answer is simple, because I am a creative soul myself. When I started this blog, all I had in mind was promoting my own handmade beadwork jewelry. πŸ˜‰

I had been waiting around for someone to find my shop and write a story about it. There was a young girl that asked me if I wanted to be on her blog, but she wanted one of my pieces in return. Back then, I only had my shop as a hobby. That’s why I politely declined. 😦

That’s when I thought, I can do that too. I have to admit that in the beginning I knew nothing, and just winged it. My first posts were on how I got addicted to beading, but obviously I couldn’t keep writing about the same thing repeatedly. 😏

Since I had made a lot of friends through the Etsy platform, my next move was to put those in the spotlight. On the Facebook page of another Etsy shop owner, I launched my campaign in which I said I was looking for shops to feature on my blog. Ok, I though it the perfect idea. I would get instant fame and be paid at the same time. 😎

No, there is no such thing as getting paid and having instant fame with a blog, only for the lucky few. It seems though, I was not the only one sitting around, and waiting for someone to write about my shop, because I got over 30 responses. 

Later on I started getting requests from other than Etsy shops, so gradually my blog turned into what you can read today. 

Ah, ok time to get into this handmade gift guide.


Kimono Sleeves Long Robe $200.00



An affordable lingerie brand that has quality, comfortable handmade pieces to inspire confidence.  

A perfectionist at heart, Angelina Mahany has dedicated years into sourcing, assessing and testing fabrics until she found the smooth, soft silks that became a signature to Angie’s  Showroom. 
 
This quest for creating handmade lingerie stemmed from her struggle to find intimates that made her feel sexy, confident and beautiful - without being mass-made. “I remember thinking, it’s so hard to find quality, soft pieces that are reasonably priced without compromising on style!” 
 
Originally from Moscow, this ex-ballerina has dipped her toes in Corporate Management and Marketing across Russia, France and Cyprus before residing in the United States only to realise that there was a huge gap in the Lingerie market! 
 
“I wanted to show the US clients something they had never seen before… 

lingerie that has it all. Quality, comfort and sexy styles at an affordable price! So Angie’s Showroom was born.”

Gray Crochet Hat $ 32,67



The owner of Ria's Crafts and Things started to crochet at the age of 17 while residing in Israel. When time permitted, she would go and observe other women crochet.

This is her passion, and she really enjoys seeing the finished product. It's also wonderful to see the smiles on the customer's face.

In 2004, her daughter asked her to assist her with crochet items for her collection in Atlanta, GA. The items became very popular. Some of the items consist of crochet dresses, pants, tops, swimsuits and more. Their crochet items have been showcased at numerous events at the Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA; Salisbury The Magazine, Salisbury, NC; New York Fashion Week, NY; Charlotte, NC; and other locations.

Janelle $15.00



Plants, especially their flowers, always have their unique way of brightening up someone’s day. They seem to speak a distinct language of love and happiness that easily captures people’s hearts. 
This is why Bella, the artist behind Izabella Resin Art, chose botanicals and resin as her primary medium for artistic expression. She hopes that her flower jewelry can elicit feelings of joy and love to anyone who will wear them.
 
Bella is a teacher by profession. She taught History for ten years and is now a full-time graduate student at Uppsala University. Her love for details, which can be associated with her passion for History, is also evident in almost all her resin jewelry pieces. 
The name “Izabella” was taken from her birthplace, Isabella, Negros Occidental, where she recalls her earliest memory of witnessing different kinds of flowers blooming after a rainy day in July. On the same month in 2019, she decided to sell the resin jewelry pieces that she makes during her free time.

Every design and detail of each piece of jewelry speaks of craftsmanship, passion, and love for the arts as it reflects the artist’s happy thoughts and emotions. In the future, she plans to create resin jewelry pieces that are inspired and made of endemic plants from the places she visits.

Resin used: Epoxy
Botanicals that were mainly used for this artwork: Yellow Rose, Queen Anne's Lace and wild strawberry seeds
Comes with a free 18” stainless necklace chain: Yes
Diameter/length/size: approx. 2.5 - 3 CM

Pendants made from plants that were collected during walks. Each piece contains meticulously arranged botanicals in a mold/bezel.  We only use a high-quality resin that is UV resistant and scratch-proof.

Interview with Fashion Designer and Fashion Stylist Rebecca Rowe

Hi There..... Are you preparing your home with decorations for Halloween already? Would you like another fashion designer interview or would you rather have a fashion stylist interview?

I sure hope you know what to do to prepare for Halloween, because I have no plans to talk about that today. Why not? That’s simply because I am plain evil. I have been a witch on multiple occasions. Ah, now you are the scaredy-cat, aren’t you? 😜

No, no, I’m not an authentic witch, of course I’m not. I won’t serve you any potions or put you under some kind of spell. Although, I just got a crazy idea. Perhaps I should learn how to practice magic so that you all magically subscribe to my email list at the bottom of this blog post. 😁

Ok, if I got you confused, my post for today is about a Fashion Designer who is also a Fashion stylist. 😊

Can we get on with the post now? For heaven’s sake, that’s enough small talk for today. There are considerably more important things we could talk about. Like, for instance, fashion designer and fashion stylist Rebecca Rowe, who is the owner and designer for rebeccarowe.ca. What did she reply to my questions? 


How old are you? 

29 

What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be?  

I am an entrepreneur & fashion designer. 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer? 

I’ve always been creative and interested in fashion, although it wasn’t until sinking my teeth into my business that I found my passion in making everyday apparel for women with an athletic build. 

Is fashion important to you? Why?  

Fashion is important to me because it’s an expression of your identity. You look at yourself every day and the clothing you choose to wear is how you tell your own brain that you are ready to take on whatever task you’re ready/wanting to do.  

What are your successes and how did you achieve them? 

My biggest personal success is always seeing my clients' photos wearing the clothes that I made. I developed my fashion designs with data from athletes of all shapes & sports. The whole concept of beauty changes from person to person and why shouldn't your wardrobe?

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing? 

The brand name itself isn’t important, but what the brand represents I definitely take notice of. The brand is simply a symbol of the morals of a company, which is what I take seriously.  

Describe your personal style of clothing? 

My personal style is simple, athletic, classic. Easy to mix and match and designed to fit my busy lifestyle.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?  

I absolutely have a vibe when I put together my outfits. My signature look plays off my height with high-waisted pants or shorts and a crop of some kind. I love extending my legs and drawing attention to my waist (also pulling attention away from the hips!).

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style? 

I would say that I do. Everyone’s physical appearance and personal style are so unique. I love giving one-on-one advice, and most people take it. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment? 

The trend that I’m loving lately is vintage coming back. I absolutely adore that we’re taking the time to appreciate clothing from all decades. Especially the 70s and the 90s fashions we’re seeing at the moment.  

Picture by Rebecca Rowe

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment? 

If low-rise jeans could burn in a dumpster fire—I would be okay with that. The low-rise jean, besides not being flattering to women with any sort of curve, are just not practical. There was nothing worse than sitting down and holding up the back of your pants so your undergarments wouldn’t pop out the top.  
 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us? 

My advice is always the same. Stop looking around you and start looking within you. Your style needs to fit your body, your lifestyle, and your vibe. You wear your clothes, not the other way around.  

Who is your style icon and why? 

Audrey Hepburn. Not because I look anything like her at all, but because no matter what premiere she went to, what photographs she was in, she looked herself. Even now you can conjure up an image of her classic style.  
 

Is there something else you would like to share with us? 

Your clothing is a set of tools. I know, this sounds strange, but they can change the way you feel about yourself, the situation you’re in, or give you the strength to figure out the challenge you’re looking to conquer. Your closet should be a place that makes you smile. Throw out anything that doesn’t shouldn’t be in there. 


That is brilliant advice. Go on, get a bag and throw all that doesn't belong out. Thanks for answering my questions, Rebecca. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
