Spotted at the launch party for De Beers' new website last night: a Fancy Yellow Micropave Aura Ring with Fancy Yellow Cushion-Cut Solitaire. The saleslady asked me if I'd like to try it on; I had to decline lest I "forget" to take it off and end up arrested.

P.S. Fun fact: Did you know that "De Beers" and a unique number is inscribed inside each De Beers diamond through some top-secret technique that doesn't involve lasers or anything of the sort? I'm thinking...maybe some sort of thermographic process? Am I making that up? In any case, I don't get it...but I like it.

Remember when I wrote about my slightly pornographic associations with boxed wine awhile back? Well, shortly after that post went up, I got an email from a gentleman offering to send me a couple of boxed wines to try to change my mind about them. Since I'm not in a wine-tasting state at the moment, yesterday's catch-up with Kim was a perfect opportunity to break out the R. Muller Riesling (a.k.a. "The Bunny Wine").

Kim's verdict: not as sweet as you'd expect and not particularly complex, but good for everyday. (And I love the box - it fits perfectly in the refrigerator with the little spigot-thing hanging off the edge for easy pouring.)

More than one, apparently.

Because I cannot get this damn thing screwed in.

And now I'm too embarrassed to keep trying, and will be showering in the dark.

OK, I am looooving this new Graham & Brown wallpaper created to commemorate the upcoming Royal Wedding. (Picture it on one wall of an office, or in a small space like a water closet.) I'm not really a royal-watcher (for some serious royals love, head over to my friend Nadine's site), but I can't help but get psyched for the Big Event. Mostly because of the dress. But I also love all of the hullabaloo around this thing...

I mean...

Royal wallpaper?

Whatever, it's so fun.
