A necklace fit for a princess 2007-03-10 00:26:00 Swan Lakelet - 18K Diamond Colorite Necklace $315I'm a low-maintenance girl when it comes to jewelry. The diamond rings (both the engagement and wedding rings) and a pair of diamond earrings that my guy gave me are plenty to keep me happy. It has been a very long time since a piece of diamond jewelry has caught my attention quite as much as this one. I love swans, they are such beautiful creatures. They seem almost ethereal, maybe because they are always associated with princesses in fairytales. Don't you just love the little gold crown on the swan's head? If your boy gets this darling little necklace for you, he will have your heart forever. (Or at least he can try.)

Polka dot dress 2007-03-09 15:12:00 Yay it's Friday! I never feel like wearing jeans on Friday. Most people do as they can't during the week. We don't have casual Friday, everyday is casual Friday for us :). I decided to wear my trusty folka dot dress
. I'm wearing blue tights. They don't look as blue in the picture for some reason.

Cute watches by Elite 2007-03-08 14:55:00 Japan brand Elite
makes such adorable watches
. I normally don't wear watches. But I still buy watches solely for how pretty they are as decorations. I'd definitely wear these, on the wrist, on the cell phone, on the key chain, etc. I get really giddy over little cute things such as these.Analog Hanging Watch Pink $20Analog Hanging Watch Silver $20Analog Bracelet Watch Pink $20Analog Bracelet Watch White $20Analog Keychain Watch Yellow $20
Skin MD Natural 2007-03-07 18:35:00 The nice people at Skin MD Natural
sent me a sample of their product to try and review. Have any of you heard of this product? First, this is some bits of the blurb that they provided me. Conventional mositurizing lotions only attempt to replace a lack of natural moisture with artificial moisture but the problem is it comes off every time you wash or touch something. Until now, all one could do to alleviate a dry skin problem was to apply conventional moisturizing lotions. In order for any moisture to actually improve a dry skin condition it needs to get below the second major layer of skin. In reality the only moisture that is going to reach this level is your skin's own natural moisture....Unlike artificial moisturizers, Skin MD Natural bonds with the outer most layer of skin cells to turn it into what works like an invisible shield. This "invisible shield" keeps moisture-robbing irritants out while helping to retain your skin's own natural moisture, resulting in skin that i
Dewy pearly skin 2007-03-07 15:12:00 It seems every year when spring approaches, the makeup trend shifts from matte to dewy with highlights on the cheek bones and eye lids. I like the look of a dewy complexion, it's refreshing and light. There isn't much strong color. The emphasis is on the perfectly sheer foundation and shimmery nude or the lightest pearlized pinks and baby blue eye shadow and blush. They look so pretty and natural on the face, and make your skin look plump and healthy. There are also many foundations, primers, and tinted moisturizers that have tiny shimmer particles mixed in, which give the skin an instant radiant and supple glow.Chanel Blanc Universal de Chanel $42.50, creates a smooth and radiant, invisible layer for the skin.Bobbi Brown Extra Tinted Moisturizing Balm SPF 25 Extra Light Tint $36, gives a soft-glow finish.Girlactik Girlactik Pearl Base Light Star Base $12. It's a base primer for eye shadows. It can be worn alone for the pearly shimmer or worn under eye shadow for intensif
Spanx - Hollywood's best friend 2007-03-06 23:33:00 Read this articled Spanx
, you're welcome in Toronto Star today. I've heard it does wonder to the body's silhouette. It's unbelievable that so many thin movie stars wear Spanx, too. No wonder they look so perfect. I watched Tyra Banks show the other day on which she wore a tube body suit (all the audience members did, too) and retaliated against the tabloids laughing at that "fat" picture of her in a bathing suit and advocated healthy body image. Well, she said she weighed 161 pounds and supposedly that was how much she weighed in that taboild picture, but she looked completely different. She looked trim, no bulges or rolls anywhere. Now I think she MUST've been wearing Spanx underneath her tight body suit. I got nothing against that. If Spanx can do that, then that's great. At least I can be comforted by knowing that when I'm middled-aged and, God forbid, start having love handles, I can wear Spanx :P ...And now you can fudge the “thin,” even if you are the size o Read more:Hollywood

Hot White Pants 2007-03-05 23:37:00 Alice + Olivia Melissa Pant with Black Pocket Detail $253. I was never overly interested in white pants. But looking at these makes me very very interested. I really like the welt pockets at front. And they have a bit of flare. They aren't too tight. I'm not a big fan of tight white pants. It's just not flattering on most people.Ya-Ya Ravaged Maiden Bianca Denim Pant $230. Also love these dressy denim pants, with the overlapping wrap belt at waist. The cut is perfect. I really don't like white jeans that are cheap-looking with too much embellishment. The cleaner the line the better!

I'd look tres chic in Paree with this bag 2007-03-05 18:13:00 Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Teri Tote Bag $428I've been rackng my brains about what bag I should bring on our Paris trip in May. I'm in serious fear of looking unfashionable and dowdy in the fashion capital of the world, LOL. Ok, maybe I'm being a little neurotic about this. But I really should look into getting a good bag. I need a good sized one as I always have lots of stuff to lug around with me, especially when I travel. And I want something of a beautiful color that suits the spring weather and the lighter clothes I'll probably be wearing in May. I'm so smittened with this Marc bag. It would be perfect for the trip if I could spend over $400 on a bag. It has such a gorgeous shade and an easy-going shape for an overall effortlessly chic look, perfect for Paris.
Baby Phat has hot shoes 2007-03-05 15:15:00 I haven't paid much attention to Baby Phat
's clothing line. But Baby Phat has some really sexy glamorous shoes
. I love Baby Phat's cat design. It adds a playful whimsical touch to a sexy heel.Baby Phat Sparkle Heel $89.95. Oh My God, I love the sparkle heel. I find sometimes the detailing on a heel just elevates the whole style of the shoe. It doesn't get more glam than this.Paola Valentine $84.95. Va Va Voom! Love the shocking red shade and the rhinestone detail. You'd definitely stand out at a party in these.Jenna Westside $79.95. Love the faux croco framing the white patent and the pink hardware accent. It's so lady-like but not boring. I dig it.Cat Quilt Ballerina $69.95. This flat is so darling and delicate. Love the sparkly chain link accent! Wear them with dark slim jeans and you'd look casual glam.
Maxim's for us girls too 2007-03-04 22:02:00 (My guy: Nice panties. I'd get you those panties.Me: No, the Gift of the Month For Her is not the panties. It's the knee socks by Michael Kors.My guy: Oh. Socks are not sexy. But these kinda go with the panties. I'd get you the panties and the socks) I love Maxim
Magazine. My guy's been getting me its subscriptions for a few years now after he found out that I was a big fan when we started going out. It always puzzles his friends that his wife reads a men's magazine. But the reason's simple, its articles are funny, truthful, straight-to-the-point, and actually informative and practical. I know I'm not the only woman who reads Maxim. I think the magazine's started giving considerations to their female readers too. Recently they've added this new feature called "Gift of the Month For Her" that features something that girlfriends/wives would love. Kudos to Maxim for trying to help guys pick out fabulous gifts for their ladies! And the pictures are done in the true Ma
Floral 2007-03-04 16:00:00 Floral prints are huge this spring. I think floral prints can be tricky. The shape and the texture of the clothes are important. I'm pretty picky about floral prints.

But I've been seeing some really cute ones that look really refreshing.4 Love N Liberty Floral Wrap Dress in Black $297Walter Floral Pastel Button Front Cami in Multi $187Printed Charmeuse Empire Dress with Peek-a-Boo Tulle $70Emily Maxi Dress $49.50Alexis Babydoll $28.50Garden Wedge $29.

They'd make such happy accents for a room :D
Dahl by Alison Kelly 2007-03-03 06:57:00 Shopbop.com is debuting Project Runway's Alison
Kelly!Did you guys watch Alison Kelly on Project Runway's season 3? I didn't watch the whole thing, only caught a little bit of it. She did seem very talented. Good for her to have her own line debuting on Shopbop! I really like her style, girly, flirty, and hip. "The line, appropriately entitled Dahl, is inspired by Victorian dollhouses and fairytales alike. The easy-to-wear collection embodies girlish charm with a refreshing, contemporary feel, featuring effortlessly stylish dresses in jerseys and silks.

Cone heels 2007-03-12 23:50:00 (Giambattista Valli and Lanvin, Spring 2007)The retro cone heel is huge this spring. They look so bold and feisty, especially the extra pointy ones, like the Lanvin. I haven't tried on a pair of conical-heeled shoes, so I don't know how it'd feel to walk in them. For real life, I'd probably pick ones that have a little bit more surface area on the heel for a little bit more sturdiness.
