My bad

Ok, I’m Sarakastic, I never make mistakes.  I did however have a fairly huge oversight. In all of my excitement about May being over (I really dislike emeralds), I completely forgot an important thing about June.  Not only does June bring us the birthstones of alexandrite & pearls, it’s also Father’s Day.  Here are some JTV, ACNtv, or Jewelry Television coupons.  (I know confusing, three different names for the same store.  However, they have such cool stuff that I can’t complain).   They have a great section just for Father’s Day.

The David Letterman of Gemology

I’m feeling like the David Letterman of gemology today, so I thought that I would post the top five reasons why you should switch your birthstone to alexandrite.

1. Alexandrite is many times more rare than a diamond. The supply of alexandrite is rapidly diminishing. This means that anything that you buy will probably go up in value. So you don’t just want this, you need this, it’s an investment.  A very pretty, very sparkly, investment.
2. Drastic color change, from green to red.
3. Used in antique jewelry, even as engagement rings.  Alexandrite immediately lends a classic air to any jewelry piece.
4. Named after the Russian Czar Alexander II, how many gemstones can say that?
5. 8.5 on the Moh’s hardness scale, so it’s quite durable.

So there you have it, if you aren’t born in June, start lying about your birthday so that you can have the coolest birthstone ever. I know that I sure will.

Target Wedding Dress Anyone?

Target has huge news. Last week on Oprah I heard for the first time that Target had started offering wedding dresses through the Issac Mizrahi line. These dresses range in price from $80.00 to $160.00. They look like designer gowns and we all love Target, but not even I know if I would wear a target wedding dress. I love the concept behind the idea, I think every woman should be able to afford a beautiful wedding dress. Although there have been some complaints on the customer reviews about the quality of the gowns. I can wear Target clothes everyday and a wedding only happens once. I want it to be special and if a Target dress does that then it’s worth it. If not, then it isn’t worth the money I would save. I usually love a bargain more than most but I don’t know if I could go through with it. Would you wear a target wedding dress?
