Just Why I Love My Messenger Bag

posted on 29 October 2011

Don't get me wrong - I have a collection of pink clutch bags and other "party bags" at home, but on general errands, who needs a handbag when one can own a messenger bag. Well not quite a messenger bag. I'll explain. The bag has thick, long straps made of black seat belt material that possess a lustrous sheen. The straps fall about 3 inches too short for cross-body style wear but, the chic gold fixtures on the purse make wearing it on your shoulder all the more comfortable. Large gold studs adorn the sides of the bag, as well as above each zippered pocket located on the front and back of it. The bag also came with, as my friends call it, a beautiful gold "rape whistle" attached to the side. When opening the purse, the canvas-like material expresses its' adoration with the words "Juicy" written in black cursive. Pocket for your phone, pocket for your keys, pocket for your miscellaneous trinkets. What more could a girl want? I saved the best for last! A secret little side pocket covered in gold zipper that is a perfect place to safeguard a pair of good sunglasses.It's simple, yet stylish. My bag is soft, supple, and comfortable and allows me to lug my collection of make-up, lollipops, hair products, and keys. No matter if I feel like a night on the town in a cocktail dress, or I'm just going to the store in my jeans, my bag is always more than suitable for the occasion.

My Favorite Piece of Jewlery is a Diamond Ring

posted on 24 July 2011

My favorite piece of jewelery is a diamond ring, especially if the diamond is encased in solid silver - how I love silver rings. It is so classically elegant and is surely a status sign. It sparkles more than other gems and can be worn with any outfit. The bigger the rock the better! I love a ring with lots of little diamonds encrusted around a larger rock. I especially love diamonds from Africa. Hopefully, one day I can wear the Hope diamond! I like to wear diamond rings on both hands. I hope one day, my husband will buy me lots of diamond rings. You cannot fool people with fake diamonds. Only the real ones work, so don't even try. It's important to keep them polished and clean so they sparkle and everyone can admire. Make sure you insure you diamond ring because they are expensive and some are irreplaceable!

Pearls - the oldest gem

posted on 10 March 2011

Pearls are one of the oldest and most universally known of all gems. They are indeed the oldest gem known to mankind and the only one made from a living animal. It is thought that the oldest pearl necklace in existence is nearly 2000 years only and was found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess. Because they were once so rare they became symbols of great wealth and power and were used as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and cure illness. They were also a symbol of purity and feminine charm. Pearl jewellery was worn in civilized areas of the Middle East and Asian societies as early as 3500 BC and increased in popularity in Roman times where it is said that one pearl paid for a Roman general’s political campaign and Roman women were famously covered in pearls. Cleopatra is reported to have dissolved a pearl in wine to prove her love for Mark Anthony.
