Successful, gorgeous, fierce, stylish with a name that screams all of the above and a job any girl would kill for....what's not to love?

Hello Fall!

Goodbye, Summer :( Hello, Fall!

Who knew this summer's heat wave would so quickly turn into a bitter cold Autumn? Side note: I highly considered going back to put on Mr Uggs and Mr Furry Moncler this A.M.

But with all endings, come new beginnings....and I have many new exciting projects I'm embarking on :)

Stay tuned and be patient -- I'll get back into the habit of [semi]regularily blogging again in no time.


Hugs & Kisses,

TT

p.s. some of yall need to start wearing appropriate fall footwear now (i.e. NOT flipfliops -- yeah...i see you! lol)

Wear FIGS!

I love seeing a man in a great neck tie / bow tie, and it's even better when that same tie helps a great cause!

FIGS' Mission Statement:

Make innovative ties and bow ties for the modern man,

while simultaneously facilitating a child’s education.

With every tie purchase,

FIGS gives a uniform to a child in order for them to attend school.

threads for threads

100% awesome

How sweet is that? :*)

They also do custom orders using your exact measurements+specs so go ahead and add a lil spice to your tie collection, fellas!

This is also a fantastic idea for wedding parties, photoshoots, or just a great gift for the man/men in your life who seem to have it all

Purple Diamonds *sigh*

I've never been a huge fan of coloured diamonds (especially yellow or brown ones)....maybe because some tend to look like birthstones or costume jewellery. BUT I've recently been drooling over these pretty PURPLE diamonds!

"Purple diamonds with no secondary hues are very rare. Most of these diamonds are less than a carat in size and are very seldom found in dark to vivid lilac colors. So far there have been no larger purple or violet diamonds found which are of historical significance. The purple diamond rough is only mined in Australia.

Purple is one of the rarest and most desirable colours. A purple diamond recently assessed by the British Gemmological Institute has been estimated to be worth over £14 million, and to be the most valuable natural object in existence on a weight for weight basis. This stone weighs between four and five carats. There is a larger purple diamond on display at a Paris museum, but its colour is paler.

Natural purple diamonds are so rare that most jewellers have never seen one, and will never own one."

So there you have it....leave it to me to drool over one of the rarest and most expensive kind of diamond in existance (ok to be clear, i had no idea they were that rare or pricey when I started ogling them!)

To give an example of the price of one of these babies:

This 2.52 carat light pinkish purple diamond (which is only about .2 carats larger than the centre stone on my engagement ring, mind you) with a clarity of only I1, goes for a whopping $150kUSD! Let's just say i obvsly paid less than half of that for my entire ring.

So.Pretty.Though.

I still wouldn't ever get a fancy coloured engagement ring (i prefer the classic and timeless look of a colourless diamond for such things), but i WOULD consider getting a right-hand ring, solitaire necklace, or studs if I had a few thousand laying around.

Inception + Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Not that it really needs to be said again because I'm sure you've heard by now butttt...

....was SO GOOD!!!! One of my favourite movies of the year (alongside Kickass hehehe). The concept and plot was mind-blowing, imagery and special effects were amazing, and the cast did a fantastic job. But move aside Leonardo...cuz this boy here is my currentl favourite:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt :)

Look familiar? Maybe it's because you recognize him from his role on 3rd Rock From the Sun in his younger years. Or more recently from another one of my favourite movies, 500 Days of Summer.

Gone is the dorky, emo-alternative-rocker look he was sporting back in the day. I introduce to you a totally adorable, well-dressed, dapper JGL:

ooohhhh what a cutie-pie! and below are screen caps from Inception with him in my favourite outfit from the movie:

Couldn't find a better picture but the one above is of him in one of my favourite scenes -- the zero-gravity fight scene!!! spectacular!

And check out the SMOKIN HOT pictures of him and Claudia Schiffer from a GQ spread:

OOOH LALA! Claudia's still got it.
