Mother's Day Giveaway ~ Winner (part 2)

I'm sure you all remember the fabulous Mother's Day giveaway contest we ran with DRZ Jewelers.  A few months later (better late then never) we were able to get together with the winner of a beautiful Andrea Candela 18k, sterling silver and diamond necklace, Natalie Jobity aka The Image Diva. 

As part of the contest we asked that you leave a comment on my blog about your mom or being a mom.  She shared sweet childhood memories about her mom "What a great way to celebrate Moms! I love my Mom especially because she gave me the gift of reading. She would buy us books every week....." see more

We were happy to welcome her to tour DRZ Jewelers showroom and all the new designers, jewelry styles for the season and great gift ideas.

Congratulation! 
And it was a pleasure, we welcome you back any time.

Sex and the City 2 event

This week I cashed in my sitter pass and pulled out my best SATC2 dress and shoes to attend CityShopGirl's SATC2 party at BarDupont.  Earlier in the month she had a city wide search for Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda look-a-likes.  They received glamtastic make overs by Ted Gibson's Helaspa, a photo shoot with Kristen Hooper and were bejeweled by DRZ Jewelers.  You can read more about the winners here.

Here is the "Carrie" look-a-like wearing 2ct diamond hoop earrings from DRZ Jewelers in Washington DC.

I accompanied the owners of DRZ Jewelers (Nataly & Zach Ramadan pictured above) and enjoyed the music, mixing and mingling with friends and of course some fantastic SATC2 cocktails.

Bubbles & Baubles

Anyone who knows me knows that I am all about being CLASSY, GLAMOROUS and the of course the BLING! So how better to show it off then to have a fab blinglicious event for the ladies! Hence the birth of Bubbles & Baubles, the perfect receipe of champagne and delicious gems.

I, of course had to make sure that besides mixing and mingling amongst the gems these ladies had a very inviting reason to come. The invitation! (which were hand crafted by yours truly). I put a lot of thought into creating something that was elegant, enticing and sexy. I know how I am when I see a big envelope in the mail, I am very excited to see what's inside (especially cause I know its not a bill :)

I partnered with a very near and dear friend of mine that I've known for many many moons, Zach Ramadan of DRZ Jewelers, to host this private affair. He is the owner of a gorgeous new store in the busy K st/ Connecticut Ave corridor. They feature some of the most fab, unique pieces of jewelry, watches and giftware. DRZ Jewelers offers watch and jewelry repair, custom and special order services. Everything for every taste and every pocket!

The ladies were treated to flowing champagne and the most scrumptious treats created by Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams. She did a fab job coordinating the treats with my purple (of course) and egg shell blue palette. We had Pink Sapphire Soufletennies, Chocolate diamond pops, Platinum petit fours and "Caret" Cakes.

The ladies also had a wonderful time trying on necklaces and rings and watches with luscious diamonds and gems and even a great silver and platinum collection. Each lady didn't leave empty handed, they left with a goodie bag full of treats, which included a mini champagne, silk jewelry box, jewelry cleaning cloth and a sweet smelling all natural soap provided by a local designer.

A special thank you to the wonderful ladies that contributed to the door prizes that were given away, Dr. Tiffanie Winfrey of Winfrey Dental Aesthetics Dental Spa for the Origins Spa wrap and home teeth whiting kit. Keisha Sibert of Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams for the chocolate cupcakes and 100 cakes 1 receipt book. And Janelle of Janetics Ink for the original print.

Thank you to all those that shared this fab event with us. I love being able to bring a little sparkle and bling into everybodies life. Stay tuned for more Bauble Extravaganzas to come!
