Alice!!

So I saw Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3D over the weekend. It was amazing. I definitely recommend going for the 3D. The images were stunning. I can't decide if my favorite character was the red queen or the white queen. The red queen was such a great villain, but the white queen was all about non-violence and being kind, so I loved her too. I also loved the white rabbit, mad hatter and blood hound. Clearly I have trouble choosing favorites!

The red queen side of me wants this ring

and the white queen side of me wants this one!It's another rainy Monday here. After an entire weekend of rain I'm ready for sunshine, but it's not snow and it's above 40 degrees so no complaints here!!

TARINA TARANTINO

Tarina Tarantino is my favorite jewelry designer of all time. Hands down, without a question favorite. This is her newest book called "My Pretty." It is the story of The Wizard of Oz as interpreted by Tarina. If you want to get an introduction to her designs, I recommend buying this book from her website!

Her jewelry is so amazing. It is always unique and beautiful. Her designs continue to amaze and inspire me.

Celebrities that have been seen wearing her jewelry include Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton, Pink, Kelly Osbourne, Heidi Klum, Katy Perry, Taylor Momsen, and Margaret Cho (just to name a few)!

All of her jewelry is created using the finest materials like Lucite and Swarovski crystals. And even better - it's all made in the US. According to Tarina, it's made in LA at "The Sparkle Factory."

Here are some of my favorites from my personal collection:

Barbie Cameo Charm Bracelet -

Small Crystal Barbie Medallion -

Carved Lucite Electro Cameo Mod Ring -

Large Carved Rose Bracelet (as worn by Cameron Diaz) -

Lucite Heart Toggle Necklace (I got this one at her store in Soho!)
Crystal Flower Earrings (I bought these to wear when I was June Carter Cash for Halloween!) -

Her website is www.tarinatarantino.com. She also has stores in New York, Los Angeles, and Milan, Italy.
