Bling Bling

I'm definitely not a fan of the overly shiny or "blingy" but i have to say that Swarovski is very tasteful with their crystals. I went to one of their special "Crystalized" stores (only 4 in the world: New York, London, Austria and Shanghai) in Soho, where you can basically customize your own jewelry and "bling out" pretty much everything you have from a cell phone to an iPod. Pretty damn cool if you ask me, i know where i'm going for mother's day. Oh and they're a lot cheaper than the regular Swarovski retailers, which I don't understand because its the same crystals...but i'm not arguing anyways check out the link for more details:
