Two weeks ago I was in Washington D.C and had time to check out all the big museums and monuments.  The National Museum of Natural History had some gems and jewels on exhibit, and they are to gorgeous not to share. The pictures don’t do them justice obviously, they were so sparkly and shiny!

 

 This 260 carat diamond necklace belonged to Empress Marie Louis, Napoleans second wife. He gave it to her after the birth of their second son. Not a bad gift!

Some amazing sapphires. The brooch is 422.99 carats, the second largest blue sapphire.

Yellow diamond necklace and a 61 carat yellow diamond ring, imagine having that on your finger.

Diamonds and turquoise. This crown, which had more than 1000 diamonds totaling 700 carats, belonged to Empress Marie Louis.

These earrings belonged to Marie Antoinette, they had some major sparkle!

The new limited edition Nars Andy Warhol collection is now available at Sephora.  The colors are fun and bright, and also include a lot of blues, purple, and black. I love using black, purple, and white for my eyes, so this Debbie Harry eye palette is perfect for me.  There are also holiday gift sets available so you can get your holiday shopping started!

Lately I have found myself  picking up pieces in green. I love this deep emerald green color, especially during fall, and I feel that the color goes well with my dark hair. This weekend I picked up this blouse and this one, among a few other things,  at Loft during their 40% off everything sale.

I love Burberry coats, especially this cashmere one, but they’re pretty pricey.  They can be a great investment however especially if you live in an are that gets really cold. Here is a great trench alternative from Miss Selfridge. I love the skirted bottom to help accentuate the waist!

Splurge: $1,250

Steal: $114
