When I heard about a shoes selling for a grand sum like this, I automatically assumed that it has to be something like Cinderella’s glass slippers that her fairy god mother gifted her. Little did I imagine that it would be a little Dorothy Gale’s shoes instead! Judy Garland, in the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz walked around in a pair beautiful ruby red shoes. The shoes look eye catching enough ot catch the attention of any one, believe me. They will be on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue, New York if you plan to go for window shopping atleast. In total there are 5 pairs that were worn by the actress in the movie.

They are expected to be sold for over $1000. Why not go ahead and try these shoes on the way Cinderella did it, may be it will fit you well and will become yours forever!

No, don’t mistake by pointing it as an ordinary rose. Touted as world’s most expensive red rose festooned with a 50 carat diamond necklace valued at $75,450, it could be your savior for gifting belated valentine gift. The eternal rose was offered as part of a six course gala Valentine’s dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel presidential suite in Bangkok. I think it’s a great way to spread love in the air.

If you are on your hunt to buy something exclusive for your lady then pay some dignity by not getting settled for anything less than a royal diamond necklace, by Cartier. Designed in a trellis of radiant and formally square-cut diamonds dangling a border of pear-shaped diamond drops, the necklace aims to deliver vigor to the elegant neck it is designed for.
This neckpiece was once a part of the Anne Moen Bullitt collection, whose wardrobe was once described as “incredible collection from the golden age of couture”. Each of the three largest pear-shaped diamonds is escorted by GIA certificates affirming the 5.56 carat diamond is D colour VS2 clarity, 6.98 carats diamond is D colour Si1 clarity and 4.35 carats diamond is D colour Vs clarity.

It is anticipated that the necklace would fetch £200,000-250,000 (approx. $400,000- $500,000) and would be available in the signature styles: fine Jewellery & iconic Jewels from the 20th Century sale at Bonhams in New Bond Street on 6 December.

Someone has rightly said the identity of the successful person gets recognized when he is asked for autograph rather than signature. In Blogosphere, the dialysis occurs when a blog gets mature from a label of a baby blog to the pedestal of a majestic presence. Right on the heels of my expectations, I have managed to crack 500 posts (on EliteChoice) within less than a year (with first post on 9 January).

Ideally I should feature myself with a goblet of champagne but I take the opportunity to introduce my internal spirit to you. This two-legged beast is my mirror image who knows the right direction and cherish past with a present energy and looks forward to ink bigger deals in life (in terms of value as size doesn’t make a difference).

Besides my journalistic profession, I was committed to my bloggers’ desk throughout this year and never intended to beat big sharks like Luxist, LuxuryLaunches, UberGizmo, ShinyShiny, Bornrich, UberReview, Blavish and others but am glad that I earned the deserving recognition from them. Also, a three-month-young network with Elite Fashion Blog Bazaar Community is quite satisfying.

It was an exciting journey to chronicle the world of elite products and break the news on the board, respecting the prerequisite of a journalist and curiosity of my faithful readers. Gluing to my very first post that outlined the purpose of my blog, I am happy to set various laurels in that direction and am geared up to offer an unbeatable common-sense perspective on important topics/ products and events of the day.

I am glad to share with you that the onset of 2008 would mark our first anniversary with a lot more unique features on the cards. And yah from today I am all set to offer next 500 posts coming thick and fast.

This Time Three Cheers To Me And My Love:)
