The First All Diamond Ring

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and with this ring, she'll never be lonely. Shawish Jewelry is selling the first all diamond ring for approximately $70 million. It's 150 carats and was cut out of a single diamond rock! It took one year to be made mostly due to getting the copyright for the design and purchasing a special laser to create the perfect circle for the band. The design is so simple yet overwhelming, pure yet complex. Who would buy this? Honestly, even if I had the money to spend I wouldn't. It reminds me of costume jewelry and those candy ring lollipops although I know the ring doesn't really look like either.





If you could, would you buy it?
Is it too much or pure perfection?
Could this be a new trend for affordable knock-off rings?

Lucky Birthday Girl

Wow, I had an amazing birthday. I was able to visit my family, eat yummy savory tacos, devour the sweet chocolaty cookie cake, and won a two night get-away to Foxwoods Casino Grand Pequot Hotel!  I entered Jammin' 107.7's  giveaway and on Thursday we were invited to Foxwoods' High Roller for drinks, free food, a free game of bowling, and the chance to win the Pack Your Bags giveaway. Next day, we packed our bags, went to High Rollers, and we WON! They called my name, pictures were taken, and we were quickly shuffled into our deluxe room. We stayed that Friday and Saturday night and it was a blast, I even took a long hot bath and it was heaven. We also were given $150 in two gifts cards to the two hottest bars in Foxwoods and two complementary games of bowling.

On Saturday, we went back to my Grandma's for the family get together (only 20 mins away) and it was lovely like always. Johnny gave me my favorite perfume (is he a secret VintageDanielle reader?) and I also received a fabulous can't-wait-to-watch-in-marathon-form I Love Lucy DVD set featuring all nine seasons and tons of bonus material. I'm truly such a lucky girl to have won that giveaway and have family that really cares and loves me. Okay, enough of the gushy mush Brady Bunch love crap. I promise I'd take pictures and here they are

It's My Birthday...Almost

It's almost here, my Birthday! I'll be turning 22 on March 24 at 6:10 pm. I'm looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow for a little get-together, eat lots of tacos, cookie cake, and just laughing all night long. I'll try to take pictures.

Have a wonderful weekend and eat a slice of cake or cookie for me!
