Heidi Klum

Heidi's Pretty Jewelry

Heidi Klum is looking as beautiful as ever on The Early Show this week and don't you love her earrings?

Her earrings are from her jewelry line, The Heidi Klum Collection, made by Mouawad. According to the Mouawad website:

The collection was inspired by one of Heidi's visits to Italy during which she was intrigued by a clover-patterned marble inlay at the Duomo in Milan. Heidi envisioned the clover as an adornment piece and expressed her desire to incorporate the symbol into the design of a jewelry line. "I think it's beautiful as a woman to have a good luck charm that you can keep with you...that someone can give to you. It's sweet and meaningful," says Heidi. The collection is for the fashion-conscious woman whose taste in jewelry is timeless and elegant, much like Heidi's own style and beauty.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Love Affair

Who doesn't love Louis Vuitton?

Who doesn't love Louis Vuitton? Whether you are Angelina Jolie carrying the same LV bag for three years, or Kimora Lee Simmons who has an entire closet devoted to her LV bags, everyone loves Louis. The designs are classy, elegant and timeless. What's even better is when you hear a story about someone's amazing experience while buying their favorite bag. Check out my best friend's lovely LV experience:

On our honeymoon in Europe, it was my mission to buy as my souvenir one of the classic bags of all time, the LV Speedy. While in Portofino, we walked in to the LV store in the harbor. It was a hot day in early September, Europe had gone back to work after their August vacation and we basically had the town to ourselves. The store was empty and the salesperson was excited for the distraction of a potential customer. I told him I was in the market for a Speedy and also that we were on our honeymoon. His face lit up and he disappeared for what seemed like forever. He returned with three different sizes of Speedies AND a bottle of champagne!

He then proceeded to tell us all about the history of Louis Vuitton and showed us some of the original luggage that made the brand a household name. He also gave us some tips on how to spot a real Louis bag vs. a fake one. In the end we spent over 2 hours at the store sipping champagne, hearing stories and of course ultimately purchasing the bag!
