Sparkle Like The Stars

Mother’s Day is just right around the corner. I’m all set with gifts for my mom and grandmothers. I buy things throughout the year when I see them on sale. That way I’m not under pressure when holidays or special occasions come up. It really takes the stress out of gift buying and also lets me budget a little better too. Anyway, I love my mother and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. But if I had to pick a favorite Hollywood actress that I could call “mom”, I’d pick Sofia Loren. Sofia is just so hot, sophisticated, and sexy! Maybe some of that would rub off on ME! I’d love to have late night talks with her while she teaches me to do my hair like they used to back in Italy.

In this picture Sofia is showing off some incredible emerald and diamond earrings. You can get a similar look with these 1 1/5 carat emerald hoop earrings in 14K yellow gold. Sharp, stylish, hoop designs are beautifully rendered in warm, lustrous yellow gold and studded with brilliant, colorful emeralds. The price is right too. These earrings are just $195!

You’ve probably already head about Alec Baldwin’s freakout on voicemail. You know, the rant where he called his daughter a pig. What is in the water in LA?! Anyway, this guy is going to have to do a ton of making up - nevermind some sweet talking at the next custody hearing!

Now for his daughter this 14K yellow gold heart locket and chain is a good start at an apology. This lovely locket, beautifully crafted from yellow gold and delicately etched with engraving, dangles gracefully from a dainty gold chain. It’s perfect for daughters or girlfriends. It also works with the super sweet baby-doll chic fashions that are very popular. At just $110, you can’t go wrong!

I recently read that actress Kitty Carlisle Hart passed away at the ripe old age of 96. The pictures with the article really reminded me that we’re desperately missing classic glamor in Hollywood these days. Everything is just so trashy!

Cheryl Crow is leaving Las Vegas and all she wants to do is tell the world about the perils of Global Warming. Forgive the Rahulio. He could not resist. But the global warming, it is bad. It is making the ice caps of the polar to melt. Melting it is sometimes good. Like the other day, Rahulio had a friend over who made the heart of Rahulio melt. But the heart of Rahulio, it is not an ice cap of the polar! When the heart of Rahulio melt, it is a happy thing and it is not causing the flooding of low lying regions and making peoples all crazy with patterns of weather that are terrible. So, so not fantastico!

Well what do you do with all this meltings? Cheryl Crow, who is winning the Grammy 9 times, she is on an 11-stop college tour, not on the plane, but on the bus that runs the environment-happy biodiesel fuel. The Cheryl she is also bringing her friend Laurie David, who produced the movie on the climate change, “An Inconvenient Truth,” which won the Oscar for best documentary. Together they are teaching the college students about how to saving the environment and how to stop the warming of the globals.

She is a great singer the Cheryl, but even more, she is looking so good. She is speaking her important message and singing her songs but she is looking like, relax! Don’t being afraid students of the college! Just be like me and doing something about it. Dude. Are they saying dude on the colleges stills? The Cheryl she is wearing all kinds of the Jewelry, but the Rahulio, he was much liking her necklaces. She is wearing one that is long and one that is shorter and they are both the gold. This is very casual and you can be wearing it like this if you are the big rock star on the biodiesel bus or just a normal person looking good every days. Even the college students with their baseball hats backwards and the cheerleaders and the hijinkses, they are can do this look while they bikes to school to fight globals warming!

The Rahulio was thinking let’s do the layerings! For instances, how so so fantastico would it being to combine this simple 14K Yellow Gold Round Spring Omega Necklace:

with this lovely 14K Yellow Gold Necklace with 14K White Gold Heart Charm?

I am liking the combinations of the simples and the charmings. The layerings and the yellow golds, they are making for a nice casual look to balancing the very important and not casual issue of the globals warming!

Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted making out with her boyfriend Max Snow at a hockey game. It’s weird for me to see her making out with him. To me, Mary-Kate looks like a character from The Lord of the Rings - some sort of elf and hobbit mix. OH! I know - she reminds me of E.T.! You know the part where they dress him up in a wig and put red, red lipstick on him. Goodness!

Anyway, the girl knows her bling! Check out the big gem on her finger! It’s a huge vintage stone that looks like it once belonged to the King of Spain or something. You can get some green bling too with this 4 1/2 carat green amethyst and diamond ring in 14K white gold. Bold and dramatic, this stunning ring features the delicate hue of sparkling green amethyst. A large, round, dazzling green amethyst is gorgeously prong set amid diamonds in an elegantly minimalist setting of gleaming white gold.

The other night a friend and I had a retro movie night and we watched Pretty in Pink. It was so much fun! When I ran across this lovely 1/4 carat diamond ring in 14K pink gold, it totally reminded me of the movie! You probably know this already, but pink gold is real gold. Goldsmiths add a touch of copper to the mix with the gold to make the rose or pink gold color. Gold in its pure form too soft to be used for general jewelery purposes.

Anyway, this ring is so sweet! At just $195, twinkle in a sleek band of lustrous pink gold. This ring makes a perfect budget friendly wedding ring or lovely everyday piece!

Helen Mirren looked like a lovely English rose when she showed up to the Oscars this year. Her lacy bodice and flowing skirt really made her look elegant, sophisticated and at ease with herself. What’s more is she looked beautiful and natural.

Helen sparkled like a true star by paring her gown with diamond accessories. Diamonds go well with everything and having a stash of classic diamond bling in your jewelry wardrobe will get you out of a fashion pinch every time. Helen donned a gorgeous diamond bracelet. Those seemed to be all the rage this year.
