There is something special about several of Movado's watch designs for women. A watch is an important tool for telling time, but it also plays an integral role as a fashion accessory in many cases. Imagine a watch that delivers both the practicality of telling accurate time and one that is capable of enhancing an overall fashion statement. Movado's Bareleto, Amorosa and Rondiro models all serve dual purposes as watches and bracelets. Both beauty and functionality are combined through fine Swiss craftsmanship.

The Bareleto and Amorosa designs combine the modern grace and lines of a bangle bracelet with a timekeeping piece at the center. These watches are like one seamless piece of metal that serve function and fashion.

The Amorosa features an appealing split design that is adaptable and modern. Two clean lines of fine plated stainless steel encircle the wrist on either side. Both diamond and two-tone settings are available to meet the specific needs and tastes of the wearer.

Bareleto resembles a traditional, one-piece bangle that is enhanced by Movado's innovation and attention to detail. Subtle details on the watch bracelet give it a look of modernity and elegance simultaneously. Brushed stainless steel, two-toned and solid plated finishes are all beautiful accompaniments to the simple watch dial. Variations in color and texture in the Bareleto design make it a versatile and fashionable companion.

The Rondiro models deliver a more traditional bracelet feel. The bracelet links are constructed of seemingly interlocked concentric circles that surround the entire wrist. Several models feature rectangular watch faces that make a striking contrast when set amongst the circles in the bracelet. Rondiro is elegance at its finest, with several options that include stunning diamond settings.

Bareleto, Amorosa and Rondiro are true works of art that follow a long Movado tradition. Not only have Movado watches found their place in museums across the globe, the company maintains a close relationship with fine and visual artists like Andy Warhol, actresses Mia Maestro and Kerry Washington. These three designs keep in touch with the Movado tradition of crafting fine watches that are beautiful and timeless enough to be regarded as artistic creations. Not only are they are pleasing to the eye, they fall into an entirely unique class of their own with their ability to serve dual purposes as watch and bracelet.

All three of these designs feature Movado's signature Museum Watch dial with only a single dot in the 12 o'clock position against an otherwise empty face. The dials are available in a variety of constructs, including gold, silver and a black finish. Each and every one is crafted durably with a scratch-resistant face and water resistance up to 30 meters. These timepieces are the perfect accompaniment for a night on the town or special occasions like holiday parties and weddings. Appropriate for gifts and special occasions, any woman would be proud to envelop her wrist in a Movado watch from the Bareleto, Amorosa or Rondiro collections.

Long ago, bridal gowns are made for brides in different shapes and sizes. It was rare to design gowns for woman with bugling bellies. Now, you would see Brooklyn bridal gowns for pregnant brides. Truly, there is no limit of what the fashion world can offer to different brides.

A bride is still a bride despite the changing body shape. She still deserves to look her best during the most memorable and special day of her life. If you are a pregnant bride, you can choose to have it custom-made by dressmaker. This way, you will have control of how you want to look with your gown.

Here are some tips on how to design your gown and still look gorgeous.

• Choose maternity bridal gowns that cuts right below the bust line. With the popularity of baby doll styles or empire waist dresses, this design does not bluntly reveal the bulging belly.
• Design the gown in such a way that the embroidery and bead works are just within the bust. It creates a visual balance of the gown. You can also put accent just below the bust line.
• When meeting with the couturier or dressmaker, wear the shoes that you want to wear on your wedding day. This way, you will get the feel of your overall appearance. Since the heels would be in one to two inches, your couturier would be able to evaluate designs that will not make you look short and heavy.

Now that you have this design in mind, you can still look like a queen on your wedding day. And that is what matters.

Even with the latest technology, modern conveniences of household appliances, fast modes of transportation and fast food restaurants, there are days when 24 hours just aren't enough. I hope you're not saying to yourself, everyday is that way for you. If this is true, you are in desperate need of this article. You need to be given the "how to" and now!

Dale Carnegie has let it be known there are ways to "Win Friends and Influence People." He's also clued us in on how we can "Stop Worrying and Start Living." If you haven't read either of these books, I highly recommend them. It's been a number of years since I've read either but I have referred back to them numerous times over the years.

You are a busy person. You may be a stay-at-home Mom, or Dad. Perhaps you are a professional or paraprofessional. You could be a white collar or blue collar worker. You may be a student. It doesn't matter. You are very busy. You may be married, single or divorced. You may have children or perhaps not. You are busy with things that are important to you or perhaps more important to someone else. I think you get the picture. It does not matter your gender, marital status, position, title or if you're a parent or not. You are just too busy most of the time because you do not know how to say "no" when asked to do something.

Busy people are always the ones asked to help when something needs to get done. The ones asking you to pitch in are very much aware of this or they would not ask for your help.

I am almost positive you can think of a few people with whom you are acquainted that are usually resting, relaxing and taking it easy when you manage to return their phone call. You often wonder how they do it. You feel you know how to prioritize your "to do" list and could hold time management seminars because of your organizational skills and how much you manage to squeeze into 24 hours.

These people you have consciously decided not to envy or be jealous of have learned the art of "just saying no!" Below are ten scenarios when you should say "no" when asked to do something:

1. If you do not have time to take a minimum of 15 minutes to pray, meditate and read something inspirational each morning or whenever your day begins, you're too busy for sure!
2. If you do not have time to take 15 minutes during your day for a mini-vacation, you should daydream about being someplace, doing whatever it is that would make you smile and feel happy inside out!
3. If you do not have the time and energy, desire, or slightest interest in doing what is being asked, then you shouldn't.
4. If you have been made to feel no one else can do a better job than you or no one else can do whatever is being asked of you (because you've done it for "x" number of years) then it's time to say no. It's also someone else's turn to learn!
5. It's definitely time to "say no" if you're made to feel guilty for saying no or if you feel guilty all on your own for declining the task.
6. Say "no" when you are not helping the disadvantaged but are helping those who can help themselves, without your assistance.
7. Say "no" when you do not believe in the cause.
8. Say "no" if you do not wish to make a political statement or become involved in a controversial issue.
9. Say "no" to what is asked of you when a loved one has complained about not spending more time with you or when you know you have neglected them.
10. Say "no" to others because you're saying "yes" to yourself. Yes, you will take better care of yourself by eliminating the "busy stuff" from your day and do what you absolutely must!

Will it be easy? No. Can you do it? Yes. Will you? It's up to you. If you need help putting all of it into perspective, ask yourself this question: "If I had six months to live, will I wish I had done what is being asked of me or would it matter?"

Say "Yes" to life savers and "No" to life stealers! As my mother taught me, "No, thank you. I'm sorry," would be the polite way to say it. I am capable of saying this without providing a reason. Do not feel a reason has to be shared. You are merely unable to do what is being asked.
