Credit Where Credit Is Due or We Heart ELLE.com

I take back my little rant from a previous post.
The very busy women at ELLE were off in Paris and there was a change in the NY staff,
thus the credit oversight.
Everything is as it should be now credit wise
and
We heart ELLE.com

Things That Make Me Go Arrrrgh

I suppose that most of you were raised with a certain list of rules for behavior as I was.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all
Speak quietly and use proper English
Don't bring attention to yourself
Never, never brag about your accomplishments or expect credit for anything you've done
Yes, I'm sure that you all know the list
In spite of this blog, in person you would find me to be a wallflower type...at at social event, I would be the quiet woman at the side of the room nursing her glass of wine watching everyone else...in fact you probably wouldn't even notice me.
But when it is business all these rules go by the wayside because at Beladora we don't have a publicist or a marketing department. Well, actually I take that back. I am the publicist and the marketing department, as well as many other things and that is the primary reason that I started this blog.
And, when I see beautiful Beladora jewelry in publications, without credit, it makes me go arrrgh.
Take these gorgeous images from Elle.com for example

Great image isn't it but the snake necklace, turquoise ring, and turquoise bracelet are from Beladora.com with no credit (and those look an awful lot like our david webb earrings too).

OK, let's see, vintage doorknocker earrings, turquoise ring, turquoise bracelet and link bracelet from Beladora.com , once again with no credit.

The vintage coral ring and diamond ring, weingrill coral bracelet, marina b bracelet and vintage tassel bracelet are also not credited.

And here we have the vintage gold collar necklace and black onyx ring, once again from Beladora.com.

Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled to have our awesome estate jewelry shown in Elle.com.
But if our competition is getting credit for her estate jewelry on the Elle website, we would like to be credited too.
And, I'm promoting my brand and coming out right here in full bragging mode and telling you that Beladora estate jewelry rocks.
No other vintage jewelry website has as wide of a variety of exceptional pieces at attractive prices...or the friendly customer service...or the easy returns...as Beladora.com does.

OMG!!!! - So Bananas - I Could Die

Was yesterday the best day ever....the sun came out and I think that the summer finally started
I went down to Laguna Beach to spend the day with the family and
at my mother's house I saw the finally saw the print issue of ELLE magazine
the one with the Julia Roberts photos
and then surprise of all surprises
There was a fashion spread with Kim Kardashian (OMG!!!) and Justin Bieber ( double OMG!!!!!)
and Kim was frolicking in the water in Jean Mahie jewelry from you know where
here's the video from ELLE.com

Isn't Kim pretty...she has some serious assets.
OK...full disclosure here...I basically have no idea who Justin Bieber is
but I know that he is very high up on constellation the celebrity hierarchy
so I am pleased.
And today, it is 6:40 am and the sun is out this morning for the first time in months.

Eat, Pray, Love - And Be Thankful

And yes, we are very thankful for this pretty picture on Elle.com of Julia Roberts bedecked in bangle bracelets from Beladora.com

Sapphire and Ruby Bangle Bracelet from Beladora.com

Elegant in ELLE - Beladora Does Paris

OK, so maybe I'm not going to get that long awaited trip to Paris this summer...but at least I'm happy to see Beladora jewelry in the City of Light, thanks to accessories editor extraordinaire, Kate Davidson Hudson at ELLE Magazine.
