La vie Jaime : WIWW: Diamonds are a girls best friend

In early December, I tweeted that I was oohing and ahhing over diamonds. My friend E who works at Hearts on Fire- the one who invited me to the engagement ring focus group- invited me to their friends and family holiday sale. Let me preface this: I had no intention of buying anything...

A funny thing happened on the way into the sale: as I was walking, one of E's friend's comes breezing down the hallway, and my eyes dart to these sparklers in her ears. I assume they are HOF but don't think they will be at the sale. Well what do I see about 2 mins into browsing? Yup. THOSE EARRINGS.

I try to ignore them. I try on a cute flower necklace, amazing earrings waaay out of my price range, an engagement ring (or two...), but I can't get these out of my mind.

"Just try them on...", E says. and I do. and I think you know where I am going with this story...

Presenting the Hearts on Fire Fragrant studs *better pic here. I have worn them nearly every day since I purchased, including a holiday party, xmas, and just to work- a treat to myself (and gotta say, my work holiday bonus helped!).

PS: I pinky swear to return to regular WIWW posts next week!

PPS: Didn't I miss my calling as a model? ;)
