The Woman in Red

M77 — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:18:09 GMT

Am I seeing what I think I see
Or are my eyes playing tricks on me
'Cause what I see don't make no sense
Looking so good standing over that vent
Earth Venus in broad daylight
The Goddess of Love is in my sight
Gotta catch a hold of myself
'Cause if I don't I'll have nothing left

Imagine you're sitting at ring side
And I'm standing on the inside
And approaching is Miss Matador
I'm on the charge for

The woman in red

Neapolitan

Antiquity Travelers — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 14:03:52 GMT

A contemporary hoop with shades of Neapolitan icecream. These are rich, gorgeous browns that cascade beautifully on a hot summer night.

This pattern is exclusively Swarovski crystal beads, that sparkle with a technique called the "Aurora Borealis crystal effect." Swarovski was inspired by northern lights, and worked in collaboration with French designer Christian Dior (1950s) to create this type of bead. The success on the catwalk was overwhelming, and this technique is what distinguishes these beads today.

These earrings are one of my personal favorites. I simply love the way they look on!
