If you had $10,000

We held a bit of a strategic planning day at work today, and this of course meant that we held the obligatory team building exercises. I normally cringe at these I wont lie, but today they were quite fun, with a few 'hypothetical' situations. 

One thing I was asked was "what would you buy if I gave you $10,000?".

Rather than being my normal conservative spending self, I decided on completely frivolous items.

Item number one............

An Apple iMac. Cos they look awesome.

 

Especially like this....

Refinery 29

Item number 2....

A Chanel 2.55. Cos, well, duh!!

And lastly, a Cartier Love Bracelet.

Cos the 'arm party' look isn't complete without a Cartier! (kudos to my favourite 'arm party-er', the Man Repeller)

If you were given 10k to spend frivolously, what would you buy?!

Jewels and Quartz and Chanel

I think i gasped with delight at the images of Chanel's Paris show earlier this week.  The pillars of amethyst and quartz were truly beautiful, but I expect nothing less from Karl.

I also love this image of street style from (i think) the Paris shows.  Jewel overload where more is definitely more!

Inspired by these images, I was drawn to this piece from one of my favourite etsy-ers, Freidasophie.

Wouldn't you just love some amethyst bookends like these from Dovecoat-Westport?

Or a bejeweled dress from Topshop?

  

This graphite stone print from thepairabirds at Etsy is stunning and would make a beautiful addition to a wall of mixed prints.

 And for an easily interchangeable and inexpensive ode to all things jeweled, Stila's range of gorgeous jewel toned eye shadows are too beautiful!
