Olympic Sparkle – Bridal Jewelry

I have searched high and low and all around the internet to find a good picture of the stunning necklace Sarah McLachlan worn during the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics with no success. The necklace was highly talked about all over the internet in blogs and in people’s play by play on the ceremonies. One girl even said the necklace was more striking than Sarah herself. Goes to show that the right accessories can certainly steal the show!

I managed to create an image of the necklace from video; so of course, it does the necklace no justice at all. To catch a better glimpse of the necklace in action, check out the video from ABC. Navigate to 15 minutes (runs until about 19) into the video clip and watch the sparkly magic from there.


While we never want to have our accessories drawing attention away from the beautiful bride on her day, this is the day every little girl has dreamed of wearing the most elaborate jewels, crowns, necklaces, and earrings. We all played bridal dress up—right? Be they dramatic or over the top, accessories are a MUST for the wedding day, and while I like the traditional, I am all about the audacious, hence I want Sarah’s necklace for my personal collection!

So time for a little bridal bling, or should I say a lot of wedding sparkle!

Black Friday ‘09

It’s Black Friday, and if you are reading this, that means you are missing out on the 42″ plasma screen TV at Walmart that just got marked down from $199 to $10. Well . . . maybe not exactly. Black Friday is a long standing retailer tradition since the 1960s. The term “Black Friday” was coined to mark the kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. And it is the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States. The best deals are supposed to be displayed and some of the most outrageous people show up trying to get the last cabbage patch doll (I know, I’m dating myself a bit).

To the retail industry, Black Friday is all about escaping from the red to the black, and making a profit. Which really means: “Show me the money!” Be it Gold or Silver, metals are the currency of Black Friday.

Thanks Pam for sparking this Black Friday Imagination Board. I present you black and metallic, every retailers dream! Are you Platinum, Gold, or Titanium?

All the dresses are from an amazing designer I discovered when researching this imagination board, Mexican born couture designer, Alberto Rodriguez. I fell so in love with his designs, I stopped looking at any other dresses!
