About Me
UPDATE: On October 4th, my mommy passed away from a tragic accident. I am still in shock and can't believe it myself. For now I will be just doing a few swaps and the occasional angel, til my mind and heart heal. I miss you all and I am trying to free up time to come and play.Please message me, I am always around.
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 a little over a year ago in Las Vegas, NV. We have no kids yet, but we have two Japanese Chins.
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.
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 kids. 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 screen 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 Paris at 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!!)
Favorite Books
I definitely read a lot. I read so much that I can finish a 380 page fiction novel on a plane ride home from California to Florida. Not trying to impress the non readers, but just gives someone reading this a classification on where I stand on the saying "I read a lot". I love to read chic literature, fun light hearted fiction, how to books, fashion illustration and teach yourself a language. 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 (Not really sure why?), and PAN AM (I really love this show).
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. I also like late 90's hip/hop. And I am fan of Classic Rock and Roll and Alternative. And House Music (Swedish House Mafia is my favorite)
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.

Hey! Thanks SO much for granting my wishes for February! I absolutely love the stationery - Seriously, thank you soo much! (:
Thank you for the great post cards from my Feb. wish list. They are really great.
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.
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
very sad to hear of the tragedy in your life losing a parent is very difficult and untimely death is even more difficult to except I hope you heal soon and if you need anything i would be glad to help in any way
I came across your profile, and wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss. My father is suffering with some life-threatening health issues right now, so I understand how difficult it can be, and my thoughts are with you.
On a happier note, I do love your page...it seems you and I have a great deal in common, and perhaps we'll end up swapping one day!:)
Hugs, *~ Alayna
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
Just popping to say hi! Miss you girlie!
Thanks for angeling "August is my birthday and I want a card" swap. The card is cute. And thanks for the lottery tickets. Unfortunately I didn't win anything. :( But I appreciate you sending.
