DYING!!! Dior Diva Auction today!


So I had gotten an email a few months ago giving me a heads-up about this Dior Diva Auction, and today I got the email saying that it starts today. I obviously had to go and check it out and the prizes are incredible! Unfortunately, I don't have a few thousand extra dollars so I can't go and and buy something, but if any of you out there do, I am super jealous!
Here is what is up for auction:


Cherie Diva:
"Live a day in the life of the ultimate Dior Diva, Miss Dior Chérie! This prize includes a trip for two to Paris to experience all the sights, sounds and delights the city has to offer. Take a morning bike tour of Paris and stop for lunch at the famous patisserie, Ladurée, where you’ll be joined by a special Dior host for a chauffeured tour of all of Miss Dior Cherie’s favorite spots — the Dior boutique on Avenue Montaigne, the Palais Royal Gardens and of course the Eiffel Tower. You’ll even get a peek inside the offices where the Dior business continues to this day and a chance to meet François Demachy, the Dior perfumer who created this famous fragrance. Finish your adventure with dinner at Café de Flore, the legendary café on the Left Bank. And we even promise a few more surprises in your room when you return, including a numbered copy of the Miss Dior Cherie brand book with a signed sketch by John Galliano. Ahh — isn’t life grand?!?"

Professional Diva:
"Give your beauty career a boost with this one month marketing internship at Dior Beauty! Located in the heart of New York City, this internship will provide you with the chance to learn from the best. Attend meetings, conduct analysis, help launch exciting new product lines, and much more. Perfect for anyone interested in a career in beauty or luxury. This opportunity is sure to be a resume builder and provide the opportunity to network, network, network!"

Escape Diva:
"Christian Dior often referred to his "love of weekend getaways as a constant source of inspiration". And so does our Senior Vice President of Marketing, Lisa Hawkins! Lisa will guide you on a day of breathtaking natural beauty, historical significance and award-winning artisanal wines at her own escape, Unionville Winery, one of the east coast’s top rated wineries. You and three guests will tour this picturesque vineyard, experience a personalized wine tasting and enjoy a luxurious gourmet dinner with food and wine pairings prepared by a local chef. Spend the night at the quaint Inn at Lambertville Station, have brunch before you head home the following day and let the memories continue with a case of the finest wines the vineyard has to offer. Roundtrip transportation via private car provided from New York City or a local airport. Certainly the perfect escape!"

Preview Diva:
"Be a beauty insider! Dior will deliver directly to your doorstep previews of our fabulous makeup, skincare and fragrance launches each season for an entire year. Just to give you a sense of what might be coming your way, just this year we have had four seasonal look collections, a new award-winning foundation, two new lipsticks, several new eyeshadows, fragrances and skincare products…you get the idea! This is truly an exclusive and unique opportunity to test the best before the rest!"

Red Carpet Diva:
"Experience the ultimate night out at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards! Slated for January 31, 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, we’ll fly you and a guest out for the big event. In order to make sure you look your best, spend the afternoon primping at the Dior Boutique on Rodeo Drive with a private makeup consultation. Let Dior make you a star!"

Fingers Crossed!!

I have been keeping an eye on this pair of shoes every since I saw them on Carolina from The Fashion Squad...I thought they were amazing, but I just didn't feel like paying full price since I knew that they would not get a TON of wear, just for certain occasions because I would feel too self conscious in them for everyday wear, you know? :)



Anyway, I saw other people wearing these Aldo ones, which really look exactly the same, and they were ON SALE at Amazon, but I was still waiting for them to go lower....but they never did :(
So lo and behold, I go and check the other day and THE BRONX SHOES ARE ON SALE!!! For even LESS than the Aldo ones! I could not believe it! So I quickly put them in my cart, but the little sign was blinking saying ONLY 2 LEFT IN STOCK!! And then it would switch and say 1 and then go back to 2...it was weird...
So I paid for them and i haven't received a shipping confirmation so I am hoping against all hope that I got one of the last pairs! Now they are completely sold out in my size, which is obvious because when those shoes are 46% off you don't expect them to last long!
So I am keeping my fingers crossed...I need these shoes!!
