Weird Wide Web: Weirdest Shoes You Will Ever See!

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

I warned you before to never start a Google search with the word weird and that's because there are some pretty creepy people out there who have transformed my beloved Internet into the Weird Wide Web.

But I didn't heed my own advice and decided to search weird shoes. What I found are these crazy concoctions that no one will ever wear.

Chopard to Be the Official Jeweler of Princess Diana's Biopic... Images Leaked!

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

Chopard was in the news recently after the high-profile heist at the Cannes Film Festival. And now they are in the news again, but with much better news.

As you all probably heard, Naomi Watts is portraying the Princess of Whales in the biopic, Diana. The wordless movie trailer alone will give you goose-pumps and make your heart melt.



The director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, focused the movie on the last few years of her life. So we will see a lot of the adoration she got from the public as well as her much scrutinized relationship with millionaire Dodi Fayed (check out pictures of  the final hours before the crash).

The movie is due in September and news just got out that Chopard will be the official jeweler.

That means lots of beautiful and over-priced bling. I have a feeling we will see the same designs copied by every fashion house in the world and they will probably be stylish must-haves within a week of the release (Just like the Tiffany/Great Gatsby craze that swept the world a few months ago).

Here are some movie stills released just yesterday.





The resemblance between Watts and the People's Princess is just uncanny.

Your turn... Do you think the Chopard bling from the movie will hit main street? How do you feel about Watt's portrayal of the Princess?

90's Jewelry the Fashion Industry Needs to Bring Back ASAP!

Tuesday, July 9, 2013

If you were a child of the 90's then you definitely bought a few of these. You also thought you looked damn good in them, too!

I grew up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia but traveled to the US every year. And let me tell you, coming back after summer vacation all blinged up made all the them playground bitches seethe with jealousy.

Let me know which one of these you wore... and let's petiton the fashion industry to bring them back!

Ying Yangs were definitely a wardrobe essential back then. Especially if the pendant is hanging from a synthetic leather necklace. Let's face it, you wouldn't have it any other way.


You could see this one pinned on baby onsies and blankets. They are pinned by over-zealous Arab parents to ward off the evil eye but in reality, they were a choking mishap waiting to happen.


This piece is actually a double whammy: 1- The velvet choker: This tiny piece of fabric made you look goth and hardcore. 2- Peace signs, peace signs everywhere!


Very popular amongst skaters. Style tip: Match then with an over-sized t-shirt and baggy Jncos hanging off your buttocks.


No intro needed for these bad boys.

I actually had these with my bestie at the time. Even had them engraved.


These were so popular I was shocked they went out of style. The more colors and sizes you had, the cooler you are!


Elastic-y chokers.


What's in Her Jewelry Box: Kate Middleton

Sunday, July 7, 2013

The Duchess of Cambridge catapulted into fame just a couple of years back and has already become the most fashionably-scrutinized person on the planet!

The best thing about Kate is that she's a bargain hunter, which goes against everything a "royal" should be. It means that lucky for us common folk, we can look like her for cheap.

She actually earned the nickname "Discount Duchess" for not splurging on designer goods and accessories. Her reputation of being frugal came to light when Kate borrowed her mother's blue frock for her first public appearance instead of buying a brand new one.

Blogs, websites, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts have erected in honor of her classy and timeless style, especially her jewelry. These are my favorite pieces so far.


These 9mm Topaz and Diamond Beauties are by designer Kiki McDonough's Grace Collection. The studs go for about 4,000 AED.  


When I first saw this picture, I thought Kate was wearing an "evil eye" necklace to ward of envy. But it's just a diamond-laden pendant from Asprey London. Shop the style here if you have 14,000 AED to spare. 


White diamonds are so the thing of the past. Canari diamonds are where it's at. These earrings, however, are actually made of citrine gemstone and can be yours for 7,000 AED.


As you probably noticed, Tiffany & Co. happens to be my favorite jeweler. I think it's the simplicity of the designs mixed with the prestige of getting that Tiffany blue box. And apparently, Kate feels the same way as she's been seen wearing the Elsa Peretti pieces on several occasions. This Diamonds by the Yard Bracelet and can be purchased from the store for 5,000 AED. There's also the cheaper Sterling Silver version. 


Japanese Mother of Pearl. Fine Cute Pure Diamond Earrings.... NOT! These bad boys are fake and will set you back 340 AED. 


These earrings are actually 9K gold yet are selling for 8,000 AED. They're nice but totally not worth that! Waste your money here


This Trinity necklace from Cartier costs a jaw-dropping 300,000 AED.... WHAAAA? This doesn't even make any sense... Such a simple design! Something you would find at Accessorize.

Barbie Boobs, Clitorises and the Occasional Cockroache, Here are Some of the Weirdest Jewelry You'll Ever See!

Saturday, July 6, 2013

We all know that the Internet can sometimes be a sick, sad place. But that's only because we live in a sick, sad world.

To avoid the dark side of the World Wide Web, I advise to never start a Google search with the word "weird". There are some seriously twisted people out there and they've all managed to utilize social media.

I searched for weird jewelry and decided to share my findings. Unfortunately, you will not be seeing these items on LavalierDubai.

** Warning: Pictures and Descriptions Contain Vulgarity and Inappropriateness**



  

The clitoris is a beautiful thing. But sometimes, it's so hard to find it because it's so small. Use this necklace as a road map for your partner. You can thank me later.


Go all Lady Gaga on everyone's ass with this steak necklace. Tip: avoid animal interaction.

Keep your neck cool during the hot summer months with this ice cube statement necklace.

Show the world just how much you love taking pictures of your food and posting them on Instagram with this crochet purse.

Another great tip for you and your partner. Instead of having the awkward conversation of what you enjoy, just wear one of these rings. You can thank me later.

We all had a pet we loved. And that pet died. What better way to commemorate your loved one than to wear their corpse around your neck?




An fun DIY project with grandma.

God gave you a beautiful, symmetric face. Show Him you a disagree.

Barbie tits & ass jewelry... Show Mattel how much you miss this childhood staple.

Ear-ception.

Got a pest problem at home? Don't just exterminate them, start putting them to some good use!

Got a partner that NEVER remembers to change the toilet role? Give them this as a constant reminder.


Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your browser.


This is not so much odd as it is nostalgic. What girl didn't rock these bad boys during the early 2000's?
