Re: clothes/shoes/shopping help
I'm also far from my ideal weight and hate shopping for clothes right now. What you probably need to do is put some time and effort into it. And invest in tailoring if need be. A few weeks ago I had to attend a party and didn't have a dress. Shopping was pure misery but I finally found something. Kn... |

Re: Rant...our older daughter said that ...
Okay - I have a slightly different perspective than most of the other posters so far - when it comes to "life event" type gifts (HS grad, college grad, wedding, etc) given to your children, I fall in the camp of thinking these should be as similar in cost and type as possible... I looked ... |

Re: Jewelry shopping in Istanbul?
Just a warning, when I shopped there several years ago items were marked sterling but had obviously non-sterling, plated parts to them. I did get some cute gold charms and a fun snake bracelet but I would be very cautious and really look over everything. That said I'm a fan of evil eye pendants and ... |

Re: Calling Diamondseeker and any other huggie and stud owne

Re: Do you think Harry Winston E-Rings are worth it?
I'm a fan of estate signed pieces. They are less than retail but still have good resale value because of the brand. Plus Plus none of the drama of a custom piece. I love the idea of custom but have seen many threads on how wrong it can go. You get to try on a finished ring instead of hoping it turns... |

Re: What's the AVERAGE price of wine you drink in your home?
Since moving to the DC area, we have really become very acquainted with Virginia wines -- especially the Viognier and the Vidal Blanc from various Virginia wineries. Oh my! I'm definitely not a wine person, but I can easily drink those two! One of our favorite Virginia wine brands is Barboursville,... |

Re: this question is for the ladies out there.. :)
Neither. Propose without a riirate a diamond and let her get exactly what she wants which may be a finished ring or a different cut of diamond than you're looking at. Or maybe even a colored stone and not a diamond. |

Re: Cartier Solitaire 1895 18K Gold

Re: Delicious French cut and OEC diamond earrings!!
Winternight, I have a favor. Would you mind taking a photo of your whole face/neck, so that I can see the scale of the earrings from a distance for perspective? You can blank out your face if you'd prefer not to be identifiable. Grace told me that your stones are a similar size to mine (5.5-5.6mm) ... |

Re: The basics, some extras, savings: You need $150,000 a ye
Income matters of course but in my experience it is more about personal habits.

Re: WhiteFlash Diamond Hoops x 3!!!
1.5 is the size I have and you get used to them very quickly. I would say that you'll be less likely to want to upgrade with 1.5 as well. And I also have long hair which I think balances out the 1.5, they were my everyday earrings until I got my jbeg earrings which I've been wearing nonstop. |

Re: Intergem
I just went to my first intergem and it was sort of fantasic and overwhelming at the same time.

I did buy some earrings from Andrew Sarosi that were already set which I love. S... |

Re: Rather than continuing to hijack....Dreamer.....
That's too bad - I'd love to see your ring! Both earrings are great - taking into account your ring I think either would work. The JBEG are certainly simplier and might work with more looks but the other ones aren't custom and that's kindof nice as well, easier for sure, and you could try them on si... |

Re: Being a lawyer and a mother
I agree with Sillyberry - working moms are beaten up in this thread. Parenting vs breeding? Are you kidding me? Why be so nasty? Not bonding with your child?

Re: Being a lawyer and a mother
I don't think it is so much being an attorney and being a mother but the commuting and the fact that the father is going to be in another city? That seems more the issue. And of course the nature of the firm you'll be at. I think some people are attorneys but maybe it would be helpful for people to ... |

Re: Being a lawyer and a mother
I will say that I have heard from many people that NY is an especially tough market regarding hours for attorneys. DC seems to be better for the most part.
