Greetings from Denmark
Som noget nyt introducerer vi en afdeling med smykker fra kendte mærker som Pilgrim, Hultquist copenhagen og mange andre kendte kvalitets mærker. Især er vi stolte over, at have varer fra Pilgrim smykker, som er et verdenskendt mærke, der fokucerer på kvalitet. Alle smykker sælges som smykker outlet. Derfor sparer du også typisk 50-85% i forhold til normale udsalgspriser - men uden, at gå på kompromis med kvaliteten eller kundeservicen. Vi forsørger altid, at have de mest trendy mærker og varer, og kvalitet er altid vores motto, derfor mener vi også, at portoen skal være inkluderet i alle priser, så du nemt kan sammenligne vores priser med konkurrenterne. Vi har heller ingen dyre gebyrer på betaling med kreditkort. Det mener vi er sund fornuft. Udover smykke outlet, har vi også børnetøj outlet, og kan sælge mærker som LEGO, og andre mærkevarer til priser der er langt under markedspris, men altid fra de mest anerkendte fabrikanter. Vi sender tøj og smykker hver dag og er altid at træffe på telefonen eller via mail. Med tiden bliver vores outlet butik fyldt med varer, også til kvinder, ligesom, at vi har planer om, at kunne levere herretøj fra de bedste leverandører til engrospriser. Vi har dansk returret på alle køb, der sikrer dig mindst 2 ugers fortrydelsesret. Vi ses
Fashion Chat: Nakia Heard, CEO of Mz Mahogany Chic
What is Mz Mahogany Chic?
Nakia: MzMahoganyChic.com, an online magazine, is a refreshing take on fashion, beauty, and natural hair. The site contains a vast array of articles with a focal point of the fashion and beauty industry through the eyes of celebrities and everyday people. We love to chat with celebrities with a unique gossip free approach. Who has time to gossip when there are other CHIC things to talk about! We are based in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, with readers and fans from all over the world.
Tell me about the woman behind the brand
Nakia: Well, I was born in New York City and now reside in the D.C. metro area but not before experiencing life as a Jersey girl and then a ‘Baltimorean’. When I was little, I tap-danced at the Avery Fisher Hall, part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts complex. I attended the Barbizon School of Modeling & Acting and later became represented by the John Robert Powers New York agency for acting. Later in life, I decided to get my makeup artist certification. I’m now on a quest to enhance my photography skills and recently I dabbled in fashion design. With all of the many hats I wear, I’m really just a down to earth girl that loves all things CHIC!
What inspired you to create Mz Mahogany Chic?
Nakia: My best ideas usually start with a sheet of college ruled paper. It’s something about those two blue lines surrounding a blank space that spark my creative vision. My love of fashion and beauty consumed my life so much that I had to write about it.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
Nakia: Most recently, I was nominated and awarded the 2013 Emerging Media Member for Fashion Awards MD. The ongoing mission of Fashion Awards MD is to highlight, celebrate and recognize the talents of those who have made contributions to the fashion industry in the state of Maryland and beyond.
A fashion award is amazing. How did it feel to win?
Nakia: There were over 11,000 nominations in the categories. When I was announced as a final nominee, sharing the ballot with only 4 others in the Emerging Media Member category, it was truly an honor. At the award show, I was super nervous waiting to hear if I won. My heart just stopped when I heard my name. I walked up to the stage, accepted the teardrop shaped award presented by Brandi Proctor of FOX 45 TV, and claimed my title as 2013 Emerging Media Member! I am so proud of the Mz Mahogany Chic team for making our magazine CHIC. I am so thankful for having an awesome mom who encourages me to reach beyond my potential. I hope my experiences help me to be a role model for my little sister and build a stronger bond with my older brother.
What is your favorite fashion trend at the moment?
Nakia: The monochrome trend is definitely my fav. And it has been for a while. When Gwen Stefani came out with her L.A.M.B handbag collection and released the black & white checkered Mandeville Satchel from the SS 2008 Collection, I fell in love. I still wear it till this day.

Secrets of Perfumes
Perfumes have become regularly used products but have many secrets that people don’t usually know about. These fragrances are not only being used for men & women, they are also being used for animals or even surrounding living spaces. There are various designer fragrances that have been released in the market and almost all of them sell in par with the rest. What the secret in perfumes? What creates the mysterious fragrances in the perfumes?
Perfumes are basically a combination of fragrant oils or aromatic compounds, specific fixatives and solvents, usually ethanol. These designer fragrances, men’s fragrances or women’s fragrances or even the room fresheners, help spread a pleasant scent in the environment. The word ‘Perfume’ is derived from the Latin word ‘Per Fumum’, which means ‘Through Smoke’. Historical texts and digs show that perfumes have been in existences in early human civilisations. Perfumery, the art of making these fragrances, started somewhere in the ancient Mesopotamia.
There are different types of perfumes are available. The classification of types can be based on the aroma or also on the concentration of the fragrant oils in the perfume. The proportional quantity of the aroma compound and ethanol defines the concentration of the perfume, which in turn defines the strength and the life of the perfumes. With the increase in percentage of the fragrant oil used the intensity and life of the fragrance increases.
The fragrance from women’s perfumes is usually much milder than men’s perfumes. Colognes are usually the milder version of perfumes. The classical colognes (both women’s & men’s fragrances) are basic citrus blends. They usually don’t have specific aroma oil used in the composition. The colognes available in market today are various combinations of the basic blend, but can be slightly stronger than the classical blends.
Perfumes are usually applied at the pulse points like behind the ears, nape of the neck, insides of the elbow, wrist etc. Through the day the pulse point would warm the solution and release the aroma continually. Cologne fragrances are released much faster than perfumes.
The fragrances of perfumes are pleasant, but they do have some negative effects on the wearers. Perfumes have known to cause asthmatic reaction, headache and nausea, especially upon use of strong perfume. Use of certain compound in the perfumes has also shown to cause skin allergies. These reactions can’t be generalised as it is highly dependent on the wearer.
Perfumes, specially the designer perfumes are comparatively expensive and it is important to preserve them properly to ensure they wouldn’t degrade. The fragrance substances used in the perfume are usually sensitive to heat, light, air etc and breakdown easily if not stored well. The best method to preserve an opened bottle of perfume for several years is to store it in a place that is less exposed to heat and light. But it is important to keep in mind that other factors like the air in the gaps of the container cap, and other environmental factors can affect the scent of the perfume on a long run.
