Katie Andres sister gets a car!

Did any of you see Peter & Katie Last Night? We did and we couldnt beleive what we saw.

Katie Price Andre who was wearing a huge Diamond H Necklace bought her younger sister who just turned 18 years old a car for her birthday.

A CAR worth 20,000K. I know things are edited but we never heard the kid sister say "Thank you" or even a smile. In fact she was dame right rude (or the tv made her look that way) and if I was Katie, I would have taken the keys straight off her - well actually I wouldnt spend 20,000k on a first car for an 18year old that has only just passed her test full stop.

Its just too much too young and they have no respect.

Not a smile or a thank you! How disgusting.

George Sampson, Britains Got Talent



Last nights show on Britains Got Talent was fantastic.





I loved all of them except the illionsionist. The Urban Gypsies were FANTASTIC, the kid dancers were FANTASTIC, Strike were FANTASTIC.





Hoop La La were brilliant and I loved every second their show.






Then there is George Sampson who has won the hearts of the people. Such a brilliant unique dancer and just wants a better life for himself. Its a real rag to riches story story. Can you believe that he even missed the last train to London and didnt get there till the morning of the show.





Amanda Holden looked very nice last night with her huge ring...as big is beautiful as we have already talked about.

Great show, great to see other talent rather than singing.

Whos going to win? Leave your comments

Which Sex & The City Character Are You?

As we all know, May 28th saw the release of the long anticipated Sex and The City movie across UK cinemas. SATC is watched as much for the fashion as for the storylines, and has encouraged women worldwide to categorise their style in line with the four main characters. So when it comes to choosing jewellery, which of the SATC characters do you most identify with?

Are you a Carrie?

Carrie is admired for her quirky individual style that is difficult to categorise and even more difficult to pull off. Her choice of jewellery ranges from the whimsical, with the much coveted horseshoe pendant that first appeared in series four, to the classic, with a beautiful pearl necklace, worn in the most unconventional way.

Are you a Samantha?

With a fashion sense reminiscent of dynasty and late eighties power dressing, Samantha's look screams sex and she relishes in it. Her bold, confident nature is clearly reflected in her choice of adornments. A fan of diamond hoop earrings, Samantha is not afraid to make the most fabulous of statements. She is fabulous personified.

Are you a Charlotte?

With her 50's inspired prom dresses Charlotte's style epitomises American chic. Her look is classic and preppy but with feminine, romantic touches. To achieve this look invest a few pieces of jewellery similar to Charlotte's and you will wear them forever. She wears a variety of diamond stud earrings for day and exchanges them for diamond drop earrings by night. A diamond heart bracelet and diamond engagement ring completes her feminine daytime look perfectly. It goes without saying that a string of pearls with matching earrings is imperative in any Park Avenue princess' jewellery box.

Are you a Miranda?

Miranda is the least likely to dress to attract men. Her look is strictly corporate at work and ultra comfy at home. Admittedly, as the series has progressed her wardrobe has evolved from functional and sensible suits to brightly coloured revealing numbers. Her choice of jewellery, however, although understated is always elegant and she keeps up with the others just fine in these dusters. Steal her look with a pair of diamond chandelier earrings from The Diamond Store. To complement her short, flippy hairstyle in many episodes she opts for diamond drop earrings.

The four characters are such an eclectic mix that in all of us there is an element of at least one of them that lies beneath. It might manifest in your personality or your looks, but either way do not hesitate, unleash your inner SATC character and treat yourself to a fabulous piece of jewellery today!

Big is Beautiful!

According to The Daily Mail, the current fashion trend is for big, bold and beautiful cocktail rings. That's great news for us girls that like any excuse to go a bit OTT in the jewellery department!!

Lots of celebs have been seen wearing oversized, chunky rings, as opposed to accessorizing with oversized designer bags, which seem to be well on the way out. Popular choices include large gemstone rings, such as the gorgeous aquamarine ring worn by Angelina Jolie and floral motif style rings.
The key to pulling off this trend seems to be in choosing a ring that complements your outfit, and choosing an outfit that isn't trying to compete with the ring!

Is Lindsay Lohan In A Lesbian Relationship?

Well, it seems that the rumours are rampant about Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson, after they were seen openly kissing & canoodling in Cannes this week. Are they more than just friends??

Tongues were wagging even more when Lindsay started wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger......

I think she looks really happy in the pictures, so whatever the nature of their relationship, it seems to be having a positive effect, so good for her!


Samantha Ronson is the sister of DJ Mark Ronson, and the two have become very close friends during the last year.

Dima Bilan - Russia Winner of Eurovision 2008

Well once again, another year on I thought I would watch some of the Eurovision, truly beleiving that things might change....

What a let down...not with the UK entry. We thought Andy Abrahams was fantastic. Great song, great voice, great performance...how 3 men in white suits and ice skates and a bad song won over him I dont know - but they did!

Dima Bilan won for Russia... and it was c&%P 1 man singing, 1 man trying to be very dramatic on the violin and 1 man on ice skates, also be very dramatic.

Greece & Ukraine, both had women singers back by men in little dresses who did very well. I really quite liked the German entry.

Voting...a joke, all the Russian Countries vote for each other, Greece & Turkey, Iceland, Norway & Denmark...all in their groups. Its ridiculous and I will not be watching next year!

Katie Price Underwear - Lingerie by Katie Price


Last night in Peter & Katie it some of it was about the launch of Katie Price Underwear, bras and knickers.


She had ran a competition and you had all these girls who won it, in all different shapes and colours wearing her underwear. It was great to see all different shape girls who have never modelled before in their lifes have the confidence to strip down to their undies next to Katie Price...very brave.
Katie did actually come across quite nice to the girls and just wants her underwear to be able to be worn by everyone.
I did see her Katie Price Lingerie in Asda a few weeks ago actually!

Peter Andre big Diamond Ring - Pave


Was watching Peter and Katie last night. Katie is seriously skinny at the moment in the programme. It doesnt suit her at all. Her legs and face are so thin. ALthough it doesnt look as bad now she has had a chest reduction.


Peter, what is it with Peter, he is such a pratt but he is a likeable pratt. He just says such stupid things and you can see everyone in the back ground cringing at his comments.


Peter loves his big pave diamond ring, he was wearing it last night throughout the whole programme and it was very very sparkly.

Mary Queen of Shops

Just the other day when Sara Dhada got fired on just one of The Diamond Chicks´favourite show, Mary Portass was on the show afterwards.

Mary Portass is Mary Queen of Shops and if you watched the last series you will be happy to hear that the second series is coming soon.

Mary Portass has amazing style, she just looks amazing all the time. She was born in 1962 in Rickmansworth.

She wears the most incredible jewellery, huge rings, necklaces, bangles and for me dresses brilliant for a woman in her 40´s.

Cant wait till Mary Queen of Shops starts, although it can be the same thing each week, still great.

Chers Birthday Today

Looking through one of my magazines yesterday there was a whole section on "Then and Now". It showed numerous stars, actresses, singers etc 30 odd years ago and today.

Cher stuck in my mind as years ago she wore that famous black see through cat suit and she wore it again recently.

Its also Chers Birthday Today so today she is 62 if my adding up is right...she was born in 1946

Happy Birthday Cher!

Jewellery In Spain

As I just mentioned my friend just came back from Marbella in Spain where she spotted that a huge Cartier Jewellers Shop is arriving right on the front of the port in Puerto Banus.

Apparently in the supermarkets there, many of the young girls wear rings on nearly every finger and they love the colour gold....gold gold and more gold.

The have bracelets that have chains connected to their rings and numerous necklaces around their neck, mainly some kind of religious necklace. Some of the older ladies wear big thick gold necklaces with pictures on one side of a member of their family.

Many of the young girls are also wearing these silver rings that have 2 silver balls that unscrew, all sounds very strange, but she said they are really nice.

Jewellery in Spain looks different to jewellery here she said, its seems a little more, fancy schmancy if you know what I mean!

Women really do like to accessorize lots wearing alot of costume jewellery to that matches the belt and shoes. They do like to mix and match!

This Diamond Chick is of to Australia soon, I wonder what the jewellery will be like there! What sort of jewellery do "Sheilas" wear.

Cartier in Puerto Banus, Spain

My friend just came back from the wonderful Puerto Banus in Marbella, the land of the rich and famous.

She said that the front of the port has changed lots over the years where theres no more of the cheap and cheerful shops like Poco Loco...do any of you remember Poco Loco?

Its all designer heaven and now the jewellers seem to be taking over too. The side of the port which goes out towards the sea is really up and coming and there is a huge shop that had a massive board covering saying Cartier Coming Soon!

She said the shop is huge and along with Bulgari that opened next to the famous Sinatras who knows....maybe Tiffany might come to Marbella!

Jewellery at The Cannes Film Festival

The big Cannes Film Festival is on at the moment.

And as always theres good things and bad things being said about the celebrities, actors and actressess.

Lily Allen has apparently been a very naughty girl and people are wondering what she is doing there anyway!

Scarlett Johanssen - well shes not there....rumour is that she became a bit too much of a premadonna and basically people wouldnt meet her needs. If what she has apparently ask for is true then she has got far too big for her boots!

However every cloud has a silver lining and as Scarlett is in a film along with Penelope Cruz, Penelope has stolen the show looking fantastic as always. Penelope Cruz has a label out along with her sister Monica Cruz with Mango. Some of the stuff is really nice and in the winter I bought a lovely twin set which fits beautifully.

Angelina Jolie is looking amazing with her Twin inside her. How many kids will that be now? 6, 7?

Lots of attention is going to Gwenyth Paltrow feet...after her past few night out wearing skyscraper heels, everyones wonder what she will be wearing next. Just this week there was speculation that her marriage could be having problems as she wants to move back to America but Husband Chris Martin from Coldplay is staying in London! Lets hope its not true.

Sara Dhada fired on Apprentice

How great was The Apprentice tonight?

Lucinda was once again a fantastic project manager and won the task in the end although it was only at the end that they finally sold some of the top end dresses by Ian Stuart. They were beautiful pieces.

Because they chose the beautiful dresses the other company they liked which sold beach wear and underwear of course wanted to be beside them.

Helene, well not too sure about her...she wasnt bad but you didnt see her do much other than wear the wedding dresses.

I was cringing with Sara and Michael selling the cakes, how awful were they, you would want to run a mile.

Sara Dhada did get fired in the end and Michael was pretty close behind but then he opened his mouth and begged Sir Alan for one more chance ....and Sir Alan gave it.

Wedding Show was full of beautiful dresses, cakes, wedding jewellery and women, where were all the men?

On "You´re Fired" Sara was very composed and looked different....relaxed!

Mary Portas was on the panel looking amazing as ever with her chunky wooden necklace and huge black ring that she wears alot.

I love Mary Portas and hope that she does another series of Mary Queen of Shops

Can Billy Zane Win Back Kelly Brook?

It looks like Billy Zane is pulling out all the stops in an attempt to win back Kelly Brook, after she recently called off their engagement and declared that she didn't think he was the right man for her to marry.
Billy was spotted buying red roses and chocolates before taking Kelly out for a romantic dinner in London.......but i think he could have been a bit more creative!! Roses and chocolates are hardly very original.......

Kelly is still not wearing her diamond engagement ring, so it looks like he might have to try a bit harder to win her back!

Costume Jewellery by Martin James

The other day at the airport whilst this Diamond Chick Jetted off somewhere I was wandering around the Duty Free Shop, as you do...

Now, Im not one to buy jewellery for myself at all but some jewellery really caught my eye. I think it was called Costume Jewellery By Martin James. It was huge gemstone jewellery on lovely silver mounts....just lovely.

I fell in love with a huge square yellow gemstone on a thick silver mount....I have worn it every day and everyone comments on it. 15 pounds! what a bargain. I love it.

But then I love my Blue Topaz and Garnet Ring too and can feel a difference in the quality i.e the way the ring sits on my finger etc or could it just be that I know the stones are real. Its a bit like the "Designer" thing isnt it...wearing fake or wearing the real thing.

Anyway for 15 pounds it will look great with a couple of outfits and through the summer and if it doesnt last much longer then well Cést la vie.

Sex in the City Film

Everything at the moment is all about Sex in the City! I cannot wait to go and see it. Its been years since Ive seen Sex in the City. The nights it was on, the girls all used to get together and if we couldnt get together then we´d be on the phone the whole time. It was a great era.


Im not too sure which character Im most like but on a FaceBook Challenge I came out to be like Carrie Bradshaw but then I also came out to be like Honey from Eastenders on another challenge!

I think Im a cross between Carrie and Charlotte, in "Friends" people say Im Monica...Oh gosh Im so many people. What with my husband saying I remind him of Becky and Tina in Corrie...well getting an even better picture now I bet!

Mariah Carey Wedding Ring

So what is going on with all these secret weddings.

Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon in April whilst in the Bahamas.

According to The People Newspaper the rings were huge, proper good old bling. Mariah wore a huge Pink Diamond ring apparently worth 2.5 milion. 17 Carats! Theres also reports that Nick bought Mariah a ring costing 17 million!

All a bit much I think

If you cant quite afford that then Im sure you will be able to afford a wedding ring or engagement ring from The Diamond Store....type in "chicks" and get 5 pounds off!

Beckys Jewellery in Coranation Street

Loving Corrie at the moment. Becky is so funny. My husband sometimes says Im like Becky...not too sure which aspect of her Im supposed to be like though!

Becky´s Jewellery...what do you think? Gold rings on every finger, massive earrings, bangles. Shes such a great character and changing so much.

Poor Maria...she was right...always trust your judgement! Womans instinct and all that! That was a very quick wedding...she already through the wedding ring back him.

Gales dad arriving was a great entrance...Tina is brilliant...and she won an award the other day at the Soap Awards....funnily enough, my husband says I remind him of Tina as well....bet you are building a great picture up of this Diamond Chick

Kylie Receives French Honour


Kylie Minogue has been awarded the Order of Arts and Letters, France's highest cultural award, in recognition of the pleasure she has given to French people.

The French Culture Minister, Christine Albanel, said that she was a "Midas of the international music scene who turns everything she touches into gold". Kylie was also praised for the courage she has shown in her battle against breast cancer.

I think it's great that she's been recognised in this way. She might not be the world's greatest singer, but she is one of the best performance artists, and her shows are fantastic. She really does bring a lot of pleasure to a lot of people, and i'm sure she's inspired many with her grace and determination in the face of cancer.

Kylie started her world tour in Paris on Tuesday, and arrives in the UK at the end of June, where she performs in Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and London.

Go Kylie!!

Kym Marsh & Lee Sharpe

I was sad to hear the news of Kym Marsh and Jack Ryder. They have been married quite a few years now and sadly it was announced that they are separated. Then a few days later she is seen with Lee Sharpe!



Nearly always is someone else involved. Its weired that when she got with Jack Ryder he was a big part in Eastenders and now we dont hear of him at all whilst Kym Marsh has done really well for herself and I think is a fantastic actress.



So when shes divorced will Kym & Lee be engaged? Will we see an engagement ring? Im not so sure, Lee seems to have been involved with everyone...unless Kym has really knocked him off his feet.

Marie Morrison Jewellery

Just got back from a lovely break away in Cornwall and everywhere I went there was a lovely jewellery shop called Marie Morrison in 3 towns in Cornwall Truro, Mevagissey & Padstow. I went to all 3 places and kept seeing them. Some really nice designs and colours.

I realised that I was actually bought a lovely bracelet from Marie Morrison too a few years back for my birthday.

She sells, all sorts, bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, lovely silver bracelets and gemstones.

So if you are around those areas, do pop in and have a look.
