Jessica Simpson's Fiance Hides Engagement Ring in a...

You've been in love for a long time now and you’re finally ready to take the next huge step in your life and enter into wedding bliss. But before that comes the actual popping of the question. Some prefer to hide their engagement rings in a glass of champagne which would be brought out by a waiter amidst a string quartet. Others go to the extent of hiring an airplane to fly in the skies displaying a huge sign attached to it which reads “Marry me!”

But all you gentlemen out there need not panic. There are some affordable methods which give you the same guarantee to get your girl to say the magical word of optimism (I do mean YES). Former, NFL star, Eric Johnson adopted one of those methods prior to proposing to his girlfriend of 5 months, Jessica Simpson (too short a time you might think, but let’s say love has no time constraints). Guess where he hid his engagement ring. It was in a…*drum roll* SHOE!

The singer was in the middle of watching Parenthood when Johnson, 31, asked her to pause the show so that he could pop the question. He got down on one knee on which Jessica had to sit and nearly swooned as she was in utter shock (in a good way of course). The shoe had been hidden in her own house somewhere.

The ring itself was a three stone stunner, featuring a ruby in the centre surrounded by a diamond on each side. Choosing a ruby as the centerpiece was a trendy move by Eric as nowadays, people are opting for colored gemstones for engagement rings due to their affordability as well as beauty but he stayed true to classic traditions in choosing the dazzling diamonds to be set on either side of the ruby. Well played mate!

All the guys out there should know that your marriage proposal should consist of romance, humor, style, drama, a bit of glamour for good measure and of course the perfect ring that your girl would die for! If you’ve got those elements right it doesn’t matter whether you hide your ring in a glass or a shoe! ;-)

Blake Lively's Flings with Bling at Toronto

Blake Lively never ceases to stun me with her carefree yet matured sense of style. There’s something about the sun-kissed girl that keeps you guessing about what she would dole out to the next red-carpet fiesta. Every single outfit that the Gossip Girl actress dons seems like it was just randomly pulled out of her closet but she still manages to look effortlessly fashionable.

The 23-year-old actress arrived in Toronto to promote The Town, her upcoming film with Ben Affleck for the film festival pulling off a traveler-chic inspired look comprising of a baggy coat, hat, jeans and a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Vintage Long Necklace with floral details that gave her wardrobe a feminine tinge.

A few hours later, the L.A lass maintained the masculine look for her film’s press conference but looked sophisticated in an ultra-chic silk beige cut-out blouse and a sexy pair of animal-print Christian Louboutin Pigalle python pumps.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress showed that she knows a thing or two about pants herself as she rocked a pair of black belted draped ones, which emerged as the alternative to harem pants last year but still looked pretty fierce on Blake. The finishing touch to her layered look was naturally several long layered black bead chains. The strand of turquoise beads colorfully stood out at the centre and made this smart-casual look a hit.

Now her style for The Town premiere was a different saga altogether and it was girly glam power all the way. Blake wore her lovely hair down, dolled up and rightfully painted the town red in a seductive Chanel Fall 2010 Couture crimson-wine dress with rose petal details around the hip that looked absolutely gorgeous on the leggy beauty’s lean frame.

Her Christian Louboutin Big Lips 120 pencil pumps did their thing as did her black metallic earrings and three large cocktail rings with a large ruby ring as the centerpiece. Two words. Pure intoxication.

You can certainly look to Blake Lively for fashion inspiration, as she not only lets you into her fabulous wardrobe collection but also shows you that wherever you go, the right jewelry can always uplift an outfit beyond your wildest dreams. And guess what? She doesn’t even use a professional stylist! With her grasp on the latest fashion trends and amazing style sense, she truly doesn’t need one.
