One Day

I consider myself a hopeless romantic and I have come across a book that in most ways mirrors my current life.  One Day, written by David Nicholls, is an amazing novel about two people and the way their lives intertwine on the particular day, July 15th, of each year.  The movie, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, is a great adaptation of the book and I'm definitely in love with all of it!! Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think.

Elizabeth Taylor Auction

Christie's Auction House has announced that beginning December 13, it will be auctioning off some of Elizabeth Taylor's most famous jewelry and personal goods.  I came across a small preview, via People,   of some of the items that will be auctioned off, but its not enough to calm me down - I'm just so excited!  Known for her acting abilities and her glamourous lifestyle, Taylor went through eight husbands and worked on several social causes such as HIV/AIDS and various Jewish Causes.

Taylor wearing the Mike Todd Tiara given to her by her third husband Mike Todd.

La Peregrina, commissioned by Taylor to Cartier, was made famous by the pear-shaped pearl that was purchased at auction.  Rumor has it that it was once part of Spain's crown jewels.

Some of many LV luggage sets.  Taylor used to attach lilac tags that read, "Mine," when she traveled.

The Reine Marguerite necklace was worn to the 1993 Academy Awards where she won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. 

This 33.19 carat diamond ring, named the Krupp Diamond, was given to Taylor by Burton, her fifth and sixth husband (she married him twice).
