FENDI B BAG

2006-08-22T15:49:00.000-07:00

Silvia Venturini Fendi is the designer of the Fendi B bags, inspired i'm sure by the belt buckle from the Spring 2006 Collection of Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld.
.
I love all the different styles they come in. There are 50 in total and there are 4 styles: small and large double buckle bag and the single buckle shoulder bag in 2 styles, one for day and one for evening. I'm drooling over the double buckle bag in patent leather red, as well as the black and white shoulder bag.
.
The large design B bag not only looks drop dead gorgeous but just imagine everything you can possibly fit in it!
.
Being carried by all the big name stars and celebrities, the Fendi B bag has undoubtedly lived up to all the pre-launch hype it received. Weighing in at over $2000 it also has a price tag that will attract the rich, famous, and those of us who will do just about anything for one!
.
.
Now, if your purse isn't quite as full as Lindsay's or Jen's then there is of course another option. Designer inspired bags can give you that celebrity look, but you don't need the matching celebrity paycheck to be able to afford one! I have found a great place that are running the deal of the moment on Fendi B inspired bags. Check out the prices here, and there is also a limited time offer of an extra 10% savings if you use the coupon code shown. Just click on the image below to check these bags out.
As you can see this great offer on the Fendi B inspired bag is only running for a short time so you will have to be quick to take advantage of it. Check out all the designs and get yourself the bag that everyone is talking about!

TANZANITE GEMSTONES

2006-08-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

Does the Tanzanite gemstone live up to the hype that surrounds it? YES!
.
Is this gemstone something a girl must have in her collection? OF COURSE!
.
So what is it that makes Tanzanite so special?
.

Tanzanite has become arguably the most sort after gemstone on the planet. It's beauty will literally stop you in your tracks and leave your jaw firmly planted to the ground!
Its key appeal is its rich extravagance of color coupled with its exclusivity of origin.
Tanzanite boasts a mesmarizing coloration of the deepest blue with a purple hue that exudes a magical quality. It symbolizes immaculate but unusual elegance. Owning Tanzanite really does set you apart from the masses.
Wearing it communicates an individuals inner-strength and self-confidence. The almost magical color of a perfectly cut Tanzanite is not only attractive on young women, it also emphasizes the individuality of a mature woman.

It is undoubtedly the Tanzanite gemstones origins that enhances its appeal. Discovered in the Meralani Hills of northern Tanzania, East Africa in 1967, by Maasai tribesmen. It is their tribal belief that Tanzanite is the stone of birth because of its blue color, and they give tanzanite to their wives when they have their first children. (It has since joined zircon and turquoise in the traditional list of birthstones for the month of December.)
.
Tanzania is the only known source in the world for mined Tanzanite. This exclusivity is certainly part of the appeal for this beautiful gemstone that makes it so widely coveted.
.
Naturally owning such a beautiful and rare item does come at a price but people have been prepared to pay substantially for this gemstone. I have scoured the web to find some really outstanding examples of Tanzanite in their loose gemstone form. if you would like to find out more about a particular piece then simply click on that image. I will also be posting some jewelry items soon incorporating this stunning gemstone. I will first hunt out the best deals and bring these to you next time.
