Good morning, dear one!
The most prized and coveted type of gem in the world is the diamond, and this might be partly due to the fact that it matches with everything!
However, some of the most famous pieces of jewelry to have ever existed were actually comprised of the brilliant colored stones.
The coveted onyx and diamond Panther Bracelet of Wallis Simpson would not have the same mystery of appearance of the panther had been comprised of solely diamonds.
And the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond, which originates in India, is coveted for its rich light blue color, which was enough for King Philip IV of Spain to purchase it to include in the dowry of his daughter Margaret Teresa in 1664.

Image Consciousness; How to Look Elegant; Part I
Good afternoon, reader!
The little physical aspects of ourselves, such as what we wear and how we stand, tell the world who we are and whether or not we are people to be respected.
We live in a society where we are judged on our looks -- the choices we make about how we apply our makeup and what clothes we choose to put on our body tell the world how we want to be treated.
It impacts how much respect people have for us and whether we'll be professional enough to hire for a certain career or good enough for a man to raise children with.
The way you look tells people who you are which is why you must make choices about what you wear and apply with great thought, taste, and discretion.
Jackie Kennedy put copious amounts of thought into what she wore each day while she was on the campaign trail with her husband and in the White House. She knew that what she wore would tell people who she was, how to view and treat her, and what she stood for so she didn't choose the pieces in her wardrobe lightly.
Her goal in her clothing was to tell the world that a new and more-sophisticated modern America had arrived -- and while on dignitary trips around the world, she did just that!
It's important that you put great thought, care, and consideration into every single thing you wear, whether it be your jewelry, your makeup, your hairstyle, your clothing, or your accessories. Each of these things come together to give off an impression to the world and you want to be sure that you're giving off the right one.

Writing Fiction as a Hobby; Part II; Creating Characters
Good morning, dear one!
Last month, I published the first part to my series, "Writing Fiction as a Hobby" where I wrote getting started and finding your genre. Writing fiction is one of the most lovely hobbies, in my opinion, and offers a delicate woman an intelligent, healthy, and wonderful way to express her feelings and emotions.
In "Writing Fiction as a Hobby; Part I; Getting Started and Finding Your Genre," I wrote about the kinds of writing and genres that are consistent with femininity and being a feminine woman. I recommend reading that article first before you read this one.
Today, I'd like to write about how to create fascinating and believable characters for your fiction, ones that readers will love, readers will hate, and maybe even ones that readers want to hate but can't help but love! *smile*

Image Consciousness; Image for the High-Value Masculine Man
Good afternoon, sweet reader!
Although some people may find this to be very unfortunate, we do live in a world where we are judged based on how we look and the image we project to society. A woman who does not care about cultivating a good image will find her prospects in life (both socially and professionally) diminished.
Our image is also affected by those we choose to spend time with because the people we choose to spend our time with are people who, it's assumed, have our admiration and respect (or at least our so-called 'stamp of approval').
No matter how much you refine and improve your image on your own, it's not going to amount to much if you continue to be seen with those who reflect poor breeding or bad character.
Those you choose to spend time with reflects who you are as a woman and no amount of polish, elegance, and femininity can save you from the effect that vulgar and unrefined friends have on your image.
The same rules about those you spend time with affecting your image applies to men and the women they choose to take out and make into their wives which is why the high-value masculine man will show a great amount of discretion when he decides the women he wants to take out and which one he will take as his wife.

Feminine and Ladylike Sexuality; How to Embrace Your Sexuality in a Feminine and Ladylike Way
Warning: This piece deals with sex and sexuality. Although I don't discuss blatant details about the act itself and focus more on the modesty a feminine lady should have while conducting herself in that area, the pretense is still there. This piece is more appropriate for older readers.
Good morning, dearie!
I love writing to you while it's raining. I find it to be so therapeutic!
While forming oneself into a feminine lady, many often start to wonder where in the equation sexuality comes into play.
After all, to be feminine and elegant, a woman will have to uphold modesty at least to a certain extent and tasteful discretion to a very great extent.
There is no room in elegance and femininity for a woman snickering at the questions of others that could be taken as a sexual pun as if she's in the 5th grade.
Nor is there room for frank discussions about sexuality and one's sex life with anyone but your spouse or marriage counselor.
It's true that elegance and blatant sexuality don't mix, lovely, but there is room for sexuality in the life of a feminine and elegant lady.

Feminine and Elegant Dress; Jewelry; Part I: Diamonds and Pearls
Good morning, reader!
It seems to me that the art of adorning oneself with decorative accents made of natural materials and stones is truly a feminine art - although historically, men wore as much (if not more) jewelry than women in most cultures, as times have past the dresscode for masculine gentlemen has become increasingly conservative while women have still been allowed to experiment.
Just like your favorite pair of shoes or the perfect shade of lipstick, the right articles of jewelry often have a very significant effect on the image of the woman -- it truly can 'make or break' the outfit and the woman!
The perfectly placed necklace can emphasize a delicate throat or angular collarbone while the right earrings can draw attention to a particularly pleasing face shape and delightful smile, and the right bracelet can be just as effective dangling from a bewitching wrist.

Sweetness, Cuteness, and being Adorable; How to Have a Sweet, Cute, and Adorable Personality
Good afternoon, dear reader!
Two traits that many feminine women around the world are known for are sweetness and cuteness (or being adorable).
These qualities give off an especially youthful vibe which is why this article was written mostly with my younger readers in mind who are wondering how to be feminine ladies while still in high school or younger -- however, that's not to say that older women can't take note!
After all, some women still live in a more adorable kind of femininity as an adult, simply because that's the energy that feels most natural to them.
A good example of the kind of feminine archetype that can manage her sweetness while still being a woman is the Southern belle -- this woman is known for her sweetness, although she mixes it with a bit of spiciness from time to time. :-)
Sweetness and being adorable are both things that feminine women of all ages can reflect on because it is a trait that comes naturally to many feminine women. Certain feminine women will end up feeling too silly to be taken seriously while trying to take on this feminine trait which is perfectly fine -- feminine women come in all types. Some are the cute and sweet, while some are the motherly "old soul" kinds.
The best way for you to become a feminine woman in the most authentic way is to find the traits that feel most natural to you and then create your own unique 'femininity brand'!

How to be a Southern Belle; The Charms of a Southern Belle
Good morning, dear reader!
When trying to develop femininity and elegance, I truly do believe that looking for role models to study and imitate is one of the easiest ways to truly accomplish the changes we wish to make to our personality.
One of the reasons it's easier is because it serves not only as a template, but an inspiration -- you can then think, "My, wouldn't it be neat if I were to one day give off the same elegance/radiance/loveliness as that woman?"
This is how I feel when I think about the many Southern belles I grew up with as a child in Virginia. I oftentimes ask myself what my childhood playmates (who of course developed into Southern belles) would do when I'm a bit stumped about something. :-)
It's true that the charm, grace, and femininity of the Southern woman is well-known all across the United States, and even to bloggers in other English-speaking nations.

Improving Your Image
Good evening, sweet reader!
So sorry for my significant absence -- I've been caught up in both an exploration of the architectural history of mosques in Spain and rehearsing a traditional Thai dance that I performed this past weekend at a Southeast Asian cultural show. I had so much fun!
I truly do love dancing and enjoy choreographing traditional style Thai dances to perform for my Love at home -- I think he knew this was coming when he chose to be with a young woman born in Virginia to Thai-French parents! Although I also choreograph other styles of dance for him, as I truly do love to dance. :-)
I'm always tickled to see how many new blogs in the niche of elegance and femininity are being born -- it just goes to show how more and more women are becoming interested in forming themselves into a high-value woman of femininity, elegance, and substance.
All of those three aspects really do help to form a woman into a woman who's high-value. Women who follow my website and websites similar try to become more cultured and knowledgeable, try to become more refined, elegant, and well-mannered, and also try to develop their femininity.
All of these aspects fall under self-improvement, trying to form ourselves into the best we can be, and it all often comes down to improving our image!
If often doesn't matter who you really are, lovely, until later. What will come first is how others understand you or infer you to be. That's why it's important for you to take into consideration image -- what image you're giving off so that you can control it.

Preparing For Your Future Husband
Dear Reader:
My life partner, my husband, is my best friend. He may be the person I'm interested in now, or he may be out there somewhere, but whoever and wherever he is, he is my best friend. I wonder what he's doing and where he is, and he wonders the same about me. He thinks about what my laugh sounds like and he likes the sound when he hears it ring in his head, and I like his laugh as well. I think about him and know he's thinking about me, too. I care about him and I know he cares about me, too. I love him and I know he loves me, too, and wants to meet me so that he can tell me every single day.
An interesting thought, isn't it? I wrote that in my journal when I was thirteen years old and even though that was around a decade ago, the sentiment still rings true to you.
Your husband thinks about you, cares about you, and wonders where you are and if you're thinking about him too, regardless of whether or not you've met yet!
Such a mindset never failed to brighten up my mood and keep me optimistic when I was still single -- it's nice to know that he is out there thinking about you, too.
But in order for him to find his way into your life and for the two of you to start a healthy courtship phase (hopefully leading into a healthy marriage), you need to prepare for him, just like you'd prepare for anyone special who's coming to visit -- although with this particular person, you're hoping he'll visit to stay -- which means that the preparations must be extra special! :-)

Best Inexpensive Beauty Finds
Good morning, dear one!
I think that part of being a good feminine traditional woman is frugality, or figuring out how to become your most feminine self while on a budget. That's not to say that you can't splurge on yourself a little bit every so often (and I definitely do!), but it's good to remember your budget when you do and try to save money where you can so that the splurge will be less impactive on your checking account.
One of the places in a feminine lady's life where she can save money is in her beauty products. Although some of the best beauty products out there are more expensive, some are quite inexpensive.
There's no need to splurge on every aspect of your beauty regimen!
In this article, I'm going to talk to about a few beauty bargain finds, allowing you to achieve feminine beauty without 'breaking the bank', as they say! ;-)
I hope that you find economical options here that appeal to you.
