Dream Ring….

13 Dec

Let me start by saying this is a “dream” ring……I’ve lusted after this ring for a while now and finally saw it in person…..WOW! Fireworks!  Amazing! Beautiful!  NO I did not buy it, it’s over $6,000 after taxes!  The only rings I own that have that many zeros in the price are on my left ring finger (with the exception of some eternity bands)!  However if I did have an extra $6,000+ bucks lying around to shell out on a “fun” ring, I would snatch this beauty up in a heartbeat!  If you’re looking to really treat yourself and can afford it, this ring is for you! It is so unique, dainty and sparkly!

Leaf ring is available in 18k yellow, white or rose gold encrusted in baguette and round diamonds Anita Ko $5,760.

Let’s get to the pics so we can lust together!

Lady Gaga Donates $1Million to Sandy Relief!

7 Nov

 

The 26-year-old eccentric singer, who grew up in Manhattan’s upper west side, made a huge donation to the American Red Cross today to help with the relief efforts after Hurricane Sandy.

‘Today I pledge 1 million dollars to New York & The American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief. If it wasn’t for NYC: the Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today. New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion. Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady Gaga and The Germanottas.’

Meet Pierre, Balmain’s Debut Bag
