About Me

HARRY WINSTON WATCH OUT, because I Dream in Diamonds. My name is Lauren and I live in the sunny state of Florida. I am a SAHW. I married the man of my dreams in Las Vegas, NV in black lace vintage Valentino see through dress. We are expecting our mini me on Valentine's Day.LOL Couldn't have planned it any better.

I am designer of 100% Swarovski Crystal Bikinis, Vintage Luggage, Shoes, Reworked Vintage, and Sexy Little Costumes. I hope to be a household name in the next couple of years so will see what happens. Check out my website, it's constantly being updated.

Moo Moo Li and Foo Foo Li (The red one), my prized possessions. They are the cutest little balls of fluff. I love them so much and they have been great practice for my future mini me's. They are pampered pups who enjoy the finer things in life.

Life can be easily summed up in a FRENCH designer shoe. I love me some Louboutin's

I would follow this truck anywhere!

I am truly obsessed with my Swap-Bot name. I love every thing that comes to mind when you think of Marie Antoinette. She spoke French, Young and Full of Life, Lived in Versailles, Loved Diamonds, Couture Dresses, Big Hair. Puppies and Gambling were her weakness, Loves Lavish Parties and the need to be the best dressed all the time. Every thing minus the guillotine.....

Being Queen isn't easy: So finding things to entertain and inspire me can prove to be difficult at times. Here is a list of things that either entertain or in inspire me in no particular order:

  • Women's Rights (Fighting To Keep Our Voice Heard)

  • Edwardian Period in NY (Titanic & Gilded Age)

  • Corsets & Costumes

  • Strange Obsession for the girl that fell down the rabbit hole (Alice in Wonderland)

  • Love the Nightmare Before Christmas

  • Vintage Clothing & Jewelry

  • Pin ups and Vaudeville Themes (Crazy Circus stuff for my clothing line)

  • I Love Rosaries & Virgin of Guadalupe Stuff (Not religious in anyway, but love religious iconography!!)

  • My SCENTSY fragrance warmers (I am obsessed with my great smelling home) & My VELATA Chocolate Fondue Warmer.

Favorite Books

I definitely read a lot, I am totally addicted to words on a page. I love to read chic literature, fun light hearted fiction, how to books, fashion illustration and teach yourself a language, historical fiction and non fiction. Cook books are my secret sin. I can stay up late just gaining calories from reading all of the decadent ingredients!

Currently some of favorite books are and will always be: Harry Potter Series, Twilight Series (I love Edward!), No Angel Trilogy, S.A.S.S, SHOPaHolic Series, Julia Childs Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Gossip Girl (All 15 of the Books, before it was the cool thing), Water For Elephants, and The Help those are just to name a few.

TV & Music

My New Year's resolution was to stop watching TV and that includes reality shows especially. If I happen to be watching I am definitely only tuned into:

  • MADMEN(fanatic)

  • The Rachel Zoe Project

  • Gossip Girl (for the fashion and bc I have read all the books)

  • Storage Wars & Shipping Wars(Not really sure why?),

  • MAGIC CITY (the glamour and suspense and the characters I love them all)

  • Real Time with Bill Maher

I love watching old black and white 40's and 50's game shows like What's My Line, Password, and Beat the Clock and Same Name. They just remind me of some very glamorous time.

I love the Swing Kings and Big Band 40's era music,especially while I work. I also like late 90's hip/hop. And I am fan of Classic Rock and Roll and Alternative while singing at the top of my lungs in the car. And House Music (Swedish House Mafia is my favorite), when I really want to let loose!

I Love My Blythe

I am new to the world of Blythe. But that doesn't stunt my obsession for her. My husband bought me a new Takara "Love Mission" Doll. I love her so much. I named her Jade. She is so cute. Anyone that would like to swap or trade to help me get started on my collection, I would love it. I am in the beginning stages of customizing her......stay tuned for piccys

Flakers =(

I am finally forced to put this up because I have been flaked on 3 times, twice for receiving nothing and once for not be rated. =( Most of my swaps are journal swaps which take about two months and a lot of creative thinking, so it really sucks not to get anything in return and even worse not being rated for the hard work you've done.

If you are my partner and have not received a swap from me, kindly message me. I always send a week early with Delivery Confirmation. Just to be on the safe side. I work extremely hard and go above and beyond on every swap. With that being said, the minute I receive your package. I will connect on to the Bot and rate you fairly.

Comment: Received it yesterday (Friday) but it was a hectic day and I wanted to be able to enjoy it - so I opened it this morning with my coffee by my side. Thank you so much for such a varied collection of stuff - I love it all! Haven't scratched the tix yet - anticipation is the best and I want to dream for a bit. Hope we swap again, though I know you'll be otherwise preoccupied in the near future - good luck to you.
Response: Yes, I will definitely be preoccupied soon enough. I am so happy you enjoyed everything I sent and I do hope you win a little cash on the tix. I love lottery scratchers. Some weird obsession. I like the bingo and crossword ones. LOL

athanasiasmile on Jan 2, 2013:

Lauren (or as I call you, Dear Santa) Thank you so much for the A M A Z I N G box I received today to angel for the "themed shoebox Love Feb.2012" swap.. the package you sent me would probably equal to 6 shoeboxes of things !!! I loved absolutely everything, is as if you read my profile as well as my mind and you went far and beyond the requirements of this swap, you're truly and angel and I do hope you decide to do an actual swap with me so I can return your kindness. People like you make swap-bot worthwhile .. people like you make the world better, I know it sounds cheesy but for someone to send a stranger such a wonderful package without expecting anything in return is rare these days. I do wish I could rate you for this swap but I guess, you didn't do it for the hearts (the aim was most likely my smile!). I hope 2013 brings you all the happiness you brought to me while opening each gift this morning. xoxo

grandmaroro on Oct 29, 2012:

Lauren - Thank you so much for angelling the Art Journal for Beginners Swap for me. It arrived today and I so enjoyed reading and looking at it. I've been through it twice so far.

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your Mom. I lost mine several years ago, and I must admit that I still miss her. Several family members have told me how much I look like her, and I don't deny it. Some days when I look in the mirror, my mother is looking back at me. I will always miss her, but she remains in my heart, and I am surrounded by several of her things. That does help for me.

Thank you, again, for your kindness. Your journal will have a very special place in my collection.

JenniferKaos on Jun 25, 2012:

Hello, I just wanted to stop by and thank you for the wonderful Twilight Saga journals you sent me. I was not expecting them and it made my day! Thank you so much for your kindness. It was no problem to angel the swap for you. I had an extra journal laying around and wanted it to go to someone. :) I hope we do a swap soon. Thanks again.

tattooedbeergal on Jun 15, 2012:

ok...i am currently in love with you and am so pleased to be partnered with you on the 5 item goody swap. smooches dahling! tattooedbeergal

HeidiJean on Jun 12, 2012:

Just wanted to let you know that your BEAUTIFUL journal for the shared journal experiment arrived safely in my mail box today, and it's coming along quite nicely. So, be happy that it isn't lost in postal space :)

NymphetMaggot on Feb 1, 2012:

I got the journal today. The journal was awesome and the goodies were spectacular!!! I seriously think I found my sparkle sister in you lol. I about died when I saw the swarovski crystal Uggs. I think you've become my new best friend lol.

LadyGuenevere on Nov 16, 2011:

Hey Lauren!

I came across your profile when I was reading a profile of a friend, and since I love all things Marie Antoinette, definitely needed to click and check your page out. :)

Absolutely, it would be great to do a private swap when you're back in the swapping mode. We have enough common interests that it would be super-fun!

I just finished reading "The Help" and "Water For Elephants"....the movie version of the latter is waiting for me to have a bit of extra time to watch it. I also must confess, I'm really looking forward to the new Twilight movie. My boyfriend, on the other hand, probably not so much. ;P

I do hope things are looking up for you, just a bit. :)

Hugs, *~ Alayna

GinaMarie on Oct 14, 2011:

Thank you thank you thank you for your wonderful angel to my magnet swap! You went above and beyond and I love the cute stickers. I am soo very sorry to hear that bad news :( it would be very understandable if you didn't angel at a time like this ... And of course the two magnets you did send are just perfect! Please take care! I hope you're doing okay! <3

DeniseN10ec on Jul 7, 2011:

Thank you so much for not one but 3 angeled swaps. You are a true angel and I am so thankful. Your RAK does not surprize me because you are such a giving person, just as a angel always is. I read through some of your quotes at work today and I love them. I can't wait until tomorrow when I traveling and read them all. I will have to wait till Monday before I can check out all the great web site suggestions due to the hubby making a secret weekend get away surprize. I just wanted you to know just how very thankful I am. Thank you a million and one times.

Robynmh4 on May 12, 2011:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being such a wonderful ANGEL for me with my January Journal - I enjoyed reading yours so very much! Hope the "crystalizing" is going well and more orders are pouring in. Keep in touch and thanks again for truly being an ANGEL!
