Roberta Chiarella Jewelry

What woman doesn't love jewlery! Flip open any woman's magazine - Cosmo, Elle, Glamour, Modern Bride - and you'll find the beautiful jewlery of Roberta Chiarella.

The collection is designed and handcrafted in the United States. The designs are beautifully finished and plated with the finest metals 22kt gold and platinum. Made entirely of brilliant Swarovski Austrian Crystals... the world's finest.

I went to a sample sale a few months ago and couldn't stop myself. I love giving pieces as gifts as much as I do wearing them.

These simple antique square earring are just radiant. The antique square is a vintage look - and a new shape from Swarovski - with lots of depth and dimension to it. Great for so many occasions!

Mr. Postman

What I love about you is that what other people think in their heads you say out loud! Does this apply to you or someone you know? If so, I discovered what just might be the funniest, most perfect thing! Tired of sappy, cliché Hallmark greeting cards – look no further. Well, tell em’ like it is with sentiments from Ella Studio. The letterpress greeting cards, jotters, sticky notes and gift tags sport saying and illustrations that will get your message across! Now I must warn you, most of the cards are make you blush, bleep-worthy, but I must admit absolutely hilarious. Just imagine getting a letter in the mail from a friend – which is always a fun surprise since the mail is usually bills and junk mail – and opening it up and it says:

Or another fun sentiment like,

Ella Studio also has Unmentionables note cards and tags, featuring illustrated retro lingerie patterns, perfect for Bridal Showers or when you’re in a “You are so sexy” mood.

You have to check them out! Most cards are about $5 each, 3 for $12 or 10 for $36.

Shoe Fetish

The Simple Pump
by Christian Louboutin
$520.00

Right now the shoes that I want (but can't afford) are Christian Louboutin. Just some gorgeous, simple black heels with the signature red sole! Ah, to walk into the party in those is an instant confident booster.

This footwear specialist's name is now mispronounced in virtually every language by the swarms of elegant women who, from Los Angeles to Paris, Singapore to Monte Carlo, make and destroy reputations. He has a boutique in Paris and another in New York, stacks of press articles and legions of imitators. It all started when, as a child, he paused in front of a sign at the Museum of Oceanic Art in Paris. It showed a stiletto heel crossed out by two thick lines, reminding women visitors not to scratch the wooden floor. "What purpose could such a fine, sharp heel have other than to prove you could create the unreal from something real? I spent most of my school years reproducing it on my exercise books and desktops." Christian Louboutin went back to school, to learn all the basics at Charles Jourdan, Maud Frizon, Chanel, Saint Laurent. "I like women to see my shoes as objects of beauty, as gems outside the realm of fashion, with their own universe. Shoes are not an accessory; they're an attribute. With Louboutin's and a pair of jeans or an evening gown, you're dressed," says the designer, adding: "Women express themselves through their shoes."

Isn't that the truth!
