Adding it to the Wish List...

Not going to lie, I actually do want one of these POP phone receivers. They plug right into your cell, so those lengthy phone dates with girlfriends will feel retro chic and fun (not to mention more comfortable) again. I've seen the colorful assortment of regular POP phones, but recently discovered there's far more fabulous version out from Swarovski Elements. Equipped with a high quality speaker and microphone, pick up / hang up button, compatible with iPhone and iPad and adorned with 2,175 SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, this suddenly went to the top of my wish list! Too bad it's retailing at $840...yes, really.





Available in black or purple.

Bling, Bling.

I stopped into Swarovski's West Coast showroom last week to preview their fabulous fall collection, and I have to say, I'm eager as ever for it to come out now! Much of the collection was dramatic and vibrant--rich jewel tones sparkled brightly and there seemed to be a strong Black Swan motif throughout. I love Swarovski through and through, but my favorite piece of the entire preview was a ridiculously stunning ring that was organic in shape, but dripping with glamour. For me, it's a must.

Also noteworthy? The launch of the Hello Kitty collection--which screams cute! The bedazzled I.D. case is quite possibly the most adorable thing I've laid eyes on in awhile.

Sneak Peek! Swarovski Eyewear

Swarovski is lending its sparkle to a brand new category this spring: eyewear. The collection isn't out just yet, but I attended an editor's preview to check things out firsthand and have a few snapshots to share:

The Fabulous Life...

Oscars week reigns on in sunny L.A., and tonight I attended an intimate rooftop cocktail party in Beverly Hills hosted by Nadja Swarovski (yes, as in Swarovski crystals!) It was beyond chilly up there (granted, anything below 65 degrees is officially considered 'freezing' to me), but luckily, there were plenty of pretty sparkly things to admire to distract me from the cold.

Not only were there several stunners on display in the jewelry cases, but Swarovski also commissioned a handful of notable designers (Alexander McQueen, Viktor & Rolf, etc.) to design a Swarovski-inspired ensemble, and the results were breathtaking.

Take a look:











Oh, and you're probably wondering who attended? Here's a quick rundown: Melissa George, Kate Walsh, Angie Harmon, Vivaca A. Fox, Arielle Kebbel, Perrey Reeves, Lady Victoria Hervey (who I also sat a few tables away from today at lunch, random, I know), and a few others...

Frieda Pinto was confirmed but she never showed...bummer.

A Fabulous Gift!

What did you get for Christmas this year? One of my favorite gifts was from my brother and sister-in-law: a Swarovski crystal-encrusted business card holder!




Totally gorgeous and professional (well, for my purposes, anyway)--they know me too well.
