Let's chat Diamonds!

Unlike my usual first day of the week, today's Sunday plan was to stay at home. After lunch, me and my mom decided to chill in her room in which I found my self wandering around her closet. While I was on my quest to just look for nothing in particular, I stumble upon my mom's engagement ring. I got distracted on the way it's colors fizzled with the light. The ring then became the start of our whole discussion about diamonds.

Many say that diamonds are every woman's best friend so it should be a pretty intersting topic to blog about right? ;) To be honest, I am not too familiar with diamonds except that I know that it's too special that it has to come with a certificate (I kinda think of it as a college degree....hehehe!). So to gain more knowledge, I consulted the modern day Encyclopedia.....Google! ;) Here are some of the facts that I found...



The Gemological Institute of America developed the 4C's of determinng diamond quality; color, clarity, cut and carat weight. Here's a little video that they prepare.

Now, remember I said that diamonds come with it's own certificate. The certificate is where all this information are located. Here's an example...

I actually had no idea that it can be these much information about diamonds. I hope you had fun as much as I did learning about it with this little crash course that I put together ;) Ciao!

Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2011 Handbags

Hello ladies! I was not totally expecting an email from my Balenciaga SA again but I was surprise about this one. Today he emailed me the pictures of the new shipment they got at their store for the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. The first four colors arrived at their store today. He said two more are coming but not until mid July of this year. Prices are always available at the official site of Balenciaga. With Chanel increasing their price again by 20%, I am seriously considering this brand as a new fave. The smell of a Balenciaga leather is, for me, what makes it distinct from other brands...it is TDF! So ladies, brace yourself for this gorgeous new arm candies to lust for☺!

Blue Lavander

"The Blue Lavander is crossed between a purple and Outremer. This specific color was very difficult for us to take because in most cases it looks more blue in the pictures. In close view, it looks more purple to me. Very beautiful though! This is two different lightings but of the same exact bag."

Because of the overwhelming request this past few days (which I believe would also happen again with this post ☺*wink*), I would like to post my SA's info. His name is Steve at Balenciaga in South Coast Plaza Costa Mesa, CA (714) 668-0557. Please contact him for further inquiries. He's really very nice. He was very patient in teaching me all about Balenciaga when I got my first City. I'm sure you will like him too. Best of luck to you all!  ☺☺☺

I got "Lux Addiction"-ed!!! ;)

What's an accessory you can't live without? Hmmm...so some would probably say sunglasses or necklace or a ring, right? :) Well, I beg to disagree. I think the one accessory that many of us can't live without is a....cellphone! Yup, cellphones are one of the most popular gadgets of today so I say why not make it an everyday accessory to your daily fashion trends ;) Listen to this...

Upon my daily net surfing agenda, I stumble upon a company who makes cellphone cases called Lux Addiction. They make handcrafted cases that are truly unique and eye catching. YouTube has it's own share of people who ordered from this company before and LOVED it!! I say go to YouTube and see for yourself :)

Oh, wait wait! Since you're here already, why not just look at my new cellphone case! I just got it today after 2 weeks of waiting ;) I love it sooooo much and I am so happy with it!!! Love it Love it L-O-V-E IT!!!!! :)

So pretty!!! I love it! :)
