After a morning interview ( keep your fingers crossed for me, por favor! ), I decided - like the terrible, terrible student I am - to forgo reading for class in favor of window-shopping around the mall; of course, this never bodes well for my wallet...or my grades, for that matter.
When a Swarovski bag is involved, you know a sparklefest is soon to follow. Hell, Edward Cullen wishes he could sparkle like a Swarovski original. Ain't gonna happen, Edward.
Cutest hat in existence - note the rhinestone-etched paw prints! It came as an added gift w/ my main purchase.
Here's said purchase stowed safely away in a cylindrical case. What's in it? Inquiring canine minds and noses want to know!
It's Simba! Swarovski's 2010/ 11 Disney collection includes The Lion King's Mufasa, Pumbaa, Simba, and Timon, among other v. memorable characters. Check it out
here but be prepared for the waves of nostalgia to hit. ;)
The Lion King is a film that's v. near and dear to my heart, so when I saw this collection on display in the Swarovski store, my jaw dropped. I could not, not walk away without taking one of these pieces home w/ me - price tag be damned. I chose Simba because of the special significance he holds for me, and to be honest, I can't quite describe what it means to me to own Swarovski's breathtaking rendition of him. He's sitting proudly atop my desk - a modern Pride Rock for him to rule.
