That sweet sweet Californian sun!

[mela lu]

DH and I took 4 days after Xmas to "re-coup". We spent 2 days in the Desert Hot Springs, California - and then to Vegas for 2 days.

First of all - I cannot believe how sunny it is in DEC in Cali, and that people actually wear flip-flops and T-shirts in Dec!!!!! As a Canadian (Toronto), I was utterly shocked! We are in Parka''s, and covered head-to-toe from Dec to April. It was truly unbelievable !!!!

Anyways, I took the sunny opportunity to catch some pics of the bling! Enjoy!

First up:

My puurty 1.07 ering and Wband:

Oh, Mela Lu! I just LOVE the pic of you driving the NB Convertible! Looks like you''re having a fantastic time, and your diamonds looks GORGEOUS!

You lucky gal...leaving the snow, and hitting the sun! I''m a tad jealous! LOL. My best friend lives in Simi Valley , CA, I think it may be time for a trip! I LOVE the diamond band on you! Looks perfect there! Nice pics....it''s hard to believe your e-ring is 1.07, it looks bigger than my 1.76! Glad you had a fabulous/sunny Christmas holiday!

You gotta love how the sweet sunshine makes the bling look even blingier!!! Love the car pic!

From one GTA gal to another......I hope you brought some of those warm rays home,

cause it is cold tonight!!

You picked a perfect time to visit - two weeks ago it was so cold out there my boss''s car was so icy he was late for work.

I love how your ring sparkles in the light. It is beautiful!!!

ML, all of your rings are gorgeous! I really do love the pics of your .33''s in action, though...those really brought a smile to my face!!! Glad you enjoyed your nice, warm vacay before going back to the frozen north!
