A Sad Farewell

We will miss you Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent!

The fashion world will take time out to remember Yves Saint Laurent today as the funeral of the legendary designer, who died on Sunday evening,(who succumbed to a brain tumour, aged 71,) is held this afternoon in Paris.

Stefano Pilati, Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Sonia and Nathalie Rykiel, Kenzo Takada, Valentino and Riccardo Tisci - as well as Saint Laurent's long-time business partner and confidante, Pierre Berge - are expected to be among the several hundred mourners attending the invitation-only service at Paris' Saint-Roch church on the Rue Saint-Honore.

Saint Laurent will be cremated and his ashes flown to a botanical garden in Marrakesh, Morocco, which borders a home he and Berge owned there.

Copper meets jewel

As a jewel addicted woman I can never pass without checking websites about jewelries. Here I found some other jewelry related website and a lovely product in it. I have just jum onto this and bought this one for myself and one other to my husband ( I can't stand). The fantastic side of this purchase is they have a very special discount and very fast and free shipping for US. Then I create a list of "What is next to buy?" the next step is vintage jewelries you have to see them to beleive them then fight with the husband, after this purchase I will pass to antique jewelries and another fight with the husband. This fight are never going to have an end :) nevermind going to buy more and more because he loves me haha. Anyways, the list of other choices are here,

- Copper Cuff Far Fetched Bracelet
- Leather Jewelry
- Gemstones etc.

Enjoy your shopping from online far fetched jewelry store

SOPHIE KINSELLA

SHOPAHOLIC & BABY From Sophie Kinsella

The New York Times Bestseller !

I know this blog about cosmetics and perfumes but I just want to write something about my favorite writer. Last summer I found a book near the pool- Undomestic Godness- , somebody was read and left there. This was a traditinal of that hotel. So everybody could read many books . Anyway I took and start to read it in the morning probably 10:00 am. I didnt know anything about writer or her books but at that morning I admired and the same day I finished to read it.

Next day I bought famous books of Sophie Kinsella :The secret Dream world of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan What hilarious books this was !! They were the funniest book I have ever read :) I laughed out loud in some places and found myself shaking my head in other places. Then my husband gave me her new book - Can you keep me a secret ? - as a Christmas gift :) ( I love him) It was a romantic comedy :) and I really really liked it.
Anyway now I have her newest book - Shopaholic and baby. I have not started to read yet :( Because I have to read something serious :( And I said to myself "after finishing to read boring books, I will read Kinsella 's new book. Go on .. go on ..."

I recommend to everybody to read these books if you are looking some fun. Just one point I want to tell you ; while reading Sophie Kinsella 's books, be careful where you are ! because immediatelly you can laugh very noisy .

Have a nice reading .
