Exciting News!!

 Remember I said that I might have some good news?

Well, here it is!!

I'm now the pastry chef at Alain Allegretti's soon-to-be-opened restaurant - La Promenade Des Anglais!

It's my first ever job (I graduated last week), so I'm really excited!!! But incredibly nervous too! 

Tomorrow's my first day! I'll keep you all posted on how it goes!!

 But back to business!

As fun as it is to own an 'it' bag or iconic jewelry from one of the major fashion houses, I find, it's a whole different high to own a something that hasn't been mass produced by the hundreds...

Whenever I go to India, I make it a point to stop by and pick up a piece or two from my favorite jewelry store..

Their work is always superlative - flawless, handpicked stones in perfect settings.
And it gets better!! They usually only make 3 of any piece!

But it is a rather long way to go to shop. 

So imagine my surprise and delight when I found that they were retailing some pieces online!!
If you decide to invest in a piece of jewelry anytime soon, this should be it!!
