The Situation – Gym, Tan, Laundry, Jewelry?

He may not have won the judges’ hearts on Dancing With The Stars last night, but Jersey Shore’s alpha male, Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, is betting his 15 minutes will get him a piece of the jewelry pie like all the other D-listers worth their salt (see Kelly Bensimon , Tori Spelling, and Priscilla Presley for more). So, here’s the situation: Sorrentino is partnering with Jeff George of Luxury Laces to start a line of rosary necklaces and sneaker jewelry. What good Italian Catholic boy wouldn’t want to wear Rosary beads while he creeps, right?

Blingy Butterfly Gets The Royal Treatment

Now that the jewelry-barren landscape that was New York Fashion Week is behind me, it’s time to get back to blingy basics. And there’s no better way to celebrate than by ogling this bodacious butterfly bauble that just joined the storied coffers of the Smithsonian Institution. Designed by Cindy Chao, the “Royal Butterfly” is a three-dimensional diamond-and gemstone-studded brooch that took over two years to create.

Eggless Mango Chocolate Cake,Eid Delicacy 2

I don’t dislike eggs ,but its good to experiment without them every once in a while to create a lighter calorie baked goodies.Also,for those with egg allergies(like my mom ) and on restricted diets this(and the previous) eggless bake wouldn’t be a let down. Talk about the star ingredient in the cake – the mangoes.The mango puree not just replaces the eggs but also adds to the sweetness of the cake.The fresh mango slices in every bite would make the cake a true mango indulgence.And of course the chocolaty touch with 100% cocoa powder cannot be substituted with any other ingredient

Mad About Marchesa

Shut the front door! Marchesa just hit a Fashion Week home run with their stunning presentation of Oscar-worthy gowns. I’m sure Rachel Zoe has already hoarded the highlights for her growing list of A-listers. With jewelry a veritable no-show on the runways this season, it’s nice to get a lower jaw-drop moment from the fashion at least, and Style.com reports onlookers were gasping aloud in awe at the daring display of drapery.

D.I.Y. Project:: How To Cover A Lampshade

There are several ways to cover a lampshade.  Ask ten DIYers their technique, and you’ll get ten different answers. So here’s mine.  Note that this is the technique I use for covering plastic-lined lampshades.  If your lampshade is fabric on the inside, this won’t work. First, I remove any trim that is on the lampshade.  Also, if there’s a printed fabric adhered to the plastic liner, I remove

Australian/Kiwi furniture designer Leonhard Pfeifer is a long-time Bondville favourite. I’ve been following his career since the late 90′s when I first met Leon (a QUT Industrial Design graduate) and his talented collaborator and wife Karla.My personal connection made me extra-proud of Leon’s win at Maison&Objet in Paris last week. Leon’s Farringdon Laptop Desk won the “les Découvertes” award for

D.I.Y. Project:: How To Make A Book Wreath

I’ve gotten so far behind on writing up d.i.y. projects, so it’s time to play catch up!! It thought I’d start off today with a pretty easy (and cheap) one–the book wreath that I used in J & A’s master bedroom.  And please be so kind as to overlook the paint on my hands.  Let’s face it…my hands are always covered in something–paint, caulk, grout…something.  Manicures are wasted on me

Fashion Week Jewelry: Missing or Minimal

Jewelry hounds, I waited the proverbial 24 hours (ok, five days) before filing a Missing Person Report, but I think I can officially now declare: There is no jewelry at New York Fashion Week. From Donna Karan and Carolina Herrera to Diane von Furstenberg and (even!) Marc Jacobs, the design powerhouses have chosen not to accessorize this season with the by now ubiquitous layered bangle or statement necklace – heck, even a hoop earring from what I can tell

Blingy Barbie Fetes Fashion Week

Before I get consumed with New York Fashion Week craziness, I had to bring your attention to the most important thing you’ll read about this week: The Word’s Rarest Barbie! (Who needs an Obama press conference when you’ve got a Barbie in a right hand ring, people?) Mattel asked famous jewelry designer, Stefano Canturi , to put our favorite toast to feminism in his Cubism jewelry – and he did them one better by throwing in a real 1-carat Argyle pink diamond for good measure. All told, her bling includes over three carats of white diamonds set in a signature Canturi necklace with an empowering right-hand diamond ring to boot – which is why her price tag is a record-setting $545,000 (!) DeBeers Barbie?

J & A Master Bathroom:: And Moving On To Plan B

I have been so anxious to work on J & A’s master bathroom that I ripped all of the wallpaper down several weeks ago–way before I was even close to being finished with the bedroom. Literally, one day I dropped everything I was doing in the bedroom, marched right into the bathroom, and started ripping
