Just a couple of weeks ago, I was contemplating if I should take up a new jewelry making course at the community centre.  Well, *ahem* I thought that it’ll be quite nice to do something for myself. 

These pretty totes and t-shirts are made by artist and designer Jill Bliss.  You can find her few-of-a-kind items from recycled or sustainable materials at blissen.  Check out her fabric jewelry as well as wallets and pouches.  Very beautifully designed with thoughtful art featuring animals, plants and florals.  

Looking at them, there’s only one word to describe.  BLISS.

International shipping is available.

If you like diamonds and are into buying them for the first time, you should familiarize yourself with a few essentials before making that purchase.

A great place to start your diamond education is to browse through some of the online diamond stores like BrilliantDiamonds.com.  Not only is it a source to buy diamonds for engagement rings or wedding rings,  this site is also a great source for education about diamonds and contains an excellent buying guide to understanding the basics of diamonds. 

Did Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Robert and Tori Spelling wear their designer jeans while they were pregnant?  Why yes.  They did so with b-buckles, the hippest new maternity accessory which let women wear their non-maternity jeans from the beginning of their pregnancy until after baby.

Available in fabulous colours and designs, these hip & cool b-buckles are a great post-partum item which are inexpensive and very easy to use.  Just just wrap around your belt loops, snap and go.  No more ugly maternity jeans!  The best part is they can be worn after the tummy is gone as well!
