Don’t forget to bid on my auction to raise money for NieNie<\/a>, the blogger who was severely burned in a plane crash. Click here<\/a> to read about her and to bid.<\/p>\n

Look at NieNie with her gorgeous family.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Now bid!<\/a> We hit $500 this morning. This means the winner will definitely get a silver necklace worth $250 and blue topaz earrings worth $100, PLUS a great artist will engrave the pendant for you in a one-of-a-kind design. Normally that work would cost $500 alone! Who else is offering you something so special? H&M? Topshop? Prada? Balenciaga? Tiffany? Don’t make me laugh. NONE of them are offering you anything one-of-a-kind. When has Karl Lagerfeld last done something one-of-a-kind for you? Zara certainly hasn’t. Be smart. Re-assign your fashion budget for as long as you have to<\/span> and get something special for yourself while doing something special for NieNie!<\/p>\n

Our next goal is $1,000. The winning bidder who pays $1000 or more gets the engraved necklace, the topaz earrings and … immortality. I will name a piece of jewelry after you or a loved one and add it to my permanent collection. You’ll be on my website with Elizabeth I<\/a>, Anne Boleyn<\/a> and Cleopatra<\/a>. (I have even more incentives up my sleeve if you pass $1,000.)<\/p>\n

To give you some perspective, a beautiful Balenciaga Giant Part Time bag<\/a> is $1,645. I am offering you immortality for $1,000. Which is the better deal?<\/p>\n

If you can’t bid yourself, you can still contribute:<\/p>\n
