Ideas of luxury and nice things vary from person to person.  Some people might not appreciate the fact that I have a $90 dog leash for my furry pooch, but I might not understand why someone would need an iPad and a Kindle Fire.  You see where I'm going with this?  Because everyone has their own ideas on what a decadent Christmas or holiday gift is, you will have to be certain that you understand that their wishlist may not include the same things as your own. This was really hard for me to understand until a couple of years ago.  The thing is, my brother is a self-proclaimed geek or nerd....

Many people find themselves wishing they had a loyal pet to keep them company.  Even the rich and famous can often be found with pets in tow when they travel to red carpet events in Hollywood, especially if they are small dogs like Chihuahuas that can neatly be concealed in a Louis Vuitton handbag.  What people don't often think about though is the lifetime cost of ownership of pets.  It's easy to live from week to week, buying new pet food when it's needed, taking your pets to the vet whenever they need attention of a medical nature, and just living life day to day in the meantime.  We rarely...

The Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley have recently sold out of a luxury backpack that cost $39,000.00. This black patent alligator bag was designed for the girls luxury line The Row. Their designs feature many luxury handbags, but this particular one is causing a lot of stir in the media. Why? Well, it seems that people are worried about the current economic situation in the United States, and they seem to think that a backpack for that much money is purely unimaginable. The Fashion Director at Barney's considers the backpack to be an investment, and that all the bags are classic. What...

Every woman loves a luxury, designer handbag.  During these tight economic times, anyone who may have invested in a large, monogram Louis Vuitton bag a few years ago is probably quite glad she did so then, because purchasing one this year will set you back at least $1500.  If you, like many Americans, have maxed out your credit cards for the foreseeable future, then you might be more concerned about hooking up with credit repair services than going further into debt for something like a handbag.  Still, maybe it's worth any price to have the latest, most up to date version of the designer bag you love...

...Aside from her cute little lap dog, of course. I have been looking at some new jewelry to add to my fabulous collection, and wouldn't you know it I am most drawn to those pieces that are full of sparkling diamonds.  I mean I know that all girls love diamonds, and if they say otherwise, don't trust them.  The thing is that I think I love diamonds more than any other girl in the world.  My daddy bought me by first diamond on the day I was born, in fact.  While I wasn't able to wear it until I got older, I know that it is probably the biggest reason that I am hooked on diamonds. The second...

I'm so glad that I have the chance to catch you all up on my busy, busy life!  As you know, I was just in the beautiful state of North Carolina and I had never noticed how lush it really is.  Now I am back home in SoCal preparing to attend a close friend and fellow socialite's wedding.  Needless to say, weddings are one of my favorite things.  I love that it is a day for a woman to be the center of attention (even more than usual) and spend a small fortune on things like flowers, dresses, catering, and more.  Just thinking about a beautiful wedding can get me all teary eyed!  Now, when attending...

And Fabulous! My darlings, I am writing to you from the state of North Carolina.  This California girl is having some culture shock, but my little brother is playing in some golf tournament and I must show support.  Today I am going to share with you some insider looks at living large.  I mean surely you all wonder about lifestyles of the rich, and I am your inside guide to all things rich and fabulous.  A lot of people like to think that the wealthy just lounge around all day by their glamorous pool being waited on, but that's only my Tuesday and Friday schedule.  You see, when you are wealthy...

When life gives you lemons, you should exchange them for cucumbers for your puffy little eyes. Life does seem to come with a whole lot difficulty at times.  This can be very frustrating, and I know I often let it get me down.  It appears that stress is inevitable when you have a life full of planning and attending social events, making appearances, and keeping in tip top shape.  So many of my dear friends wonder how it is that I keep my sanity in this crazy, whirlwind of a life that I live.  Well, my lovelies, my secret is no secret at all.  I take my cares to the spa.  Now, a spa visit...
