Like most women I like shiny things: jewelry, sequin dresses, reflection of the mirrors (well, most of the time.) So every time I get to travel internationally I take my time looking though the duty free magazines with jewelry and watches. For some reason swarovski crystals are always featured in them.

While taking pictures for Nicole and Cary, they told me they would be happy they looked “good” only in one picture. Well, I am not sure how to break the new to them, but we definitely got more than one good one. Here are a few of my favorite ones:
