BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hello everyone. I am very excited and happy to tell you guys about my blog shop


Head on over to The Classy And Fabulous Shop For more details :D

Elizabeth Taylor-Icon,Legend ...and Jewelery Expert

In case you were living under a rock and havn`t heard,  Elizabeth Taylor passed away on Wednesday. I was really shocked to hear that, as I had NO idea she was even ill. And I consider myself as a pretty aware person.


Anyway, enough publications have given her basic information and various sorts of tributes.


Its interesting to know that she loved to collect jewelery, amongst other things such as husbands, 8 of them I think :)


She owned and collected the biggest sort of bling there is, and could put many rappers to shame!

"My mother says I didn’t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked"

 33 carat Krupp Diamond 

This was the first gift from then husband Richard Burton, and it cost  $ 305,000 in 1968. She wore this ring all the time,for the rest of her life. Even during filming. It is one of the most well known of all her jewels.


DUCHESS OF WINDSOR BROOCH

 The Duchess of Windsor brooch is a diamond encrusted brooch that was designed by the then Prince of Wales himself for his future bride, Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth Taylor was a close friend of Mrs Simpson, and she purchased the brooch at an auction after the Duchess’ death,in 1986




Cartier-Burton Diamond

Another gift from husband Richard Burton, a 69-carat pear shaped diamond, which was later name the Taylor-Burton diamond.
Interestingly Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married twice, and divorced twice.




The Taj Mahal Diamond

Yet another present from Richard Burton her 40th Birthday in 1972, with Burton joking that he ‘would have liked to buy her the Taj-Mahal, but it would cost too much to transport’. The diamond has ‘Love Is Everlasting’ in Parsi




ANTIQUE DIAMOND TIARA

Her third husband, Mike Todd, bought her an antique diamond tiara which she wore frequently during their marriage.


LA PEREGRINA PEARL

And another gift from Richard Burton on Valentines Day, 1969. The pearl was set as a pendant to a necklace made out of pearls, rubies and diamonds designed by Cartier.






Cartier Ruby and Diamond Necklace

Given to her by husband Mike Todd, who tragically died in a plane crash.

You can get to know how much she really loved her jewelery as she later wrote a book...

Things You Did Not Know About Dame Elizabeth

 She had purple irises and a double set of eyelashes.

Her fourth marriage to Eddie Fisher was directly responsible for the dissolution of his marriage to Debbie Reynolds. But instead of disappearing as a  home-wrecker, Taylor took the role of the sultry destroyer-of-an empire-Cleopatra in 1959.

Auctioned off her diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from Richard Burton to raise money for an AIDS charity.

Was a heavy smoker until being mistakenly diagnosed with lung cancer in October 1975.

First husband Conrad Hilton Jr. (Paris Hilton`s Grand uncle) was physically abusive, which was partly caused by a drug problem.

"Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses."

"If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down".

RIP 

Best Of Oscar Accessories

I didn`t want to do the usual best and worst dressed because everyone`s already done that. So I tried to find as many pictures as I could of Accessories the starlets wore.

Momma to be and Best Actress wore matching earrings. Don`t they have an Indian feel to it?

Best supporting actress Melissa Leo. 

Looking elegant with a hint of quirky is just how I like it!! I am in love with her spider pendant.

Wow, Busy Phillips looks so radiant. The make up is perfect and those earring are so pretty! They bring out her eyes so well.

Yaoza!! Look at the SIZE of that Bulgari pendant on Celine dion. Its quite unusual. 

I LOVED Reese Witherspoon`s look. It was simple and classy. Even tho it is a little reminiscent of one of Julia Roberts` looks, Reese does make it her own. And the ponytail! 

I absolutely fell in love with Nicole Kidman`s Uncut diamond choker necklace but there was a surprise. I hadn`t seen the back!
She`s so darn pretty, I wish she would go easy on the botox though.

I really liked how Gwyneth Paltrow chose to wear a belt with her lovely Calvin Klein dress

Ah! Mila Kunis. Loved everything she wore :)

Which ones did you like?

Amazing Little Find @ Forever 21

I frequently visit the Forever 21 site to see what new items I should expect to see in the store after some time. I end up finding alot of good stuff specially in the accessories section.

I have been seeing these mannequin jewelery stands on their site for some months now and was hoping that it would soon trickle down to India as well. They are so cute and nothing like  have seen before. Also I have been looking for some good ways to organize and also display my jewelery and other stuff.

Are they not adorable!?

Last week I went to Forever 21 in hopes to get the student discount once again as it was getting over on the 31st.
Although I didn`t come across these cuties I did find THIS...

 [My babushka doll earrings which I got on christmas!]

A wrought iron earring display!

It can accommodate a lot of earrings, even though I have not counted, it does look like alot.

It was for Rs 799/-

I love the design on it, its so simple :)

It is obviously more efficient than the mannequin jewelery stand but still those are so sweet!

But I don`t think earrings could be hung onto them as nicely as on this one. Those look better for necklaces and maybe even bracelets.

          

 

Also bought this bow necklace for 199/-
Pretty damn cheap eh?

Another thing that I want in the Indian store of Forever 21 is their beauty range called 
'Love & Beauty'
They are so cute and I have heard great reviews about them!

LOOK at all those nailpolishes!!

Btw, Why So Cold Delhi?
         I was out and about today, and even though the sun was out it was so freakkkking cold I thought my face would fall off! That would not have been nice. 

STOP WITH THE COLD!

Do you have any unique or different jewelery organization things that you like?

Yup! I have exams going on. How could you tell?
