Rich Girls Can Make Their Own Sunglasses

Spring is the perfect time to start shopping for amazing and stylish sunglasses. I think buying sunglasses is always fun, last year I loved colorful sunglasses by Ray Ban. I also love my long lasting Chanel classics. I haven’t made up my mind yet what shape and brand I will go for this season, but just in case I checked what the trends are for the 2011 and as “Harper’s Bazaar” put it – this season is about having fun with your shades.

And what could be more fun than to design your own unique and most perfect sunglasses?! Mix and match colors, frames and arms to create the sunglasses of your dreams and stand out from the crowd?! How cool is that!

Very soon there will be a new way of buying Premium Sunglasses and that is by customizing them yourself online, giving you the option of over 8000 combinations. A new Company, name unannounced as yet, is in the process of letting consumers to choose from several different styles of front frames, sun glass arms, colors and lenses. There also be a possibility to have your very own prescription within your sunglasses if you need any. And after you finish creating your sunglasses you will then be able to have an etching.

By making your own unique sunglasses on this new upcoming website, you will never see a person with the same pair of Prada’s on.

Girls, what do you think about this idea? Would you be interested in customizing sunglasses to make them unique and reflect your personality? You can share your ideas with the creative people behind this new upcoming company by completing this small survey here.

They would really love to know your opinion on this.

Yours,

Guest Post: The Girls Are Catching Up to the Boys in Poker

Today is dedicated to guest posts. I am glad, that girls are sending in their entries, it means that we are a real Rich Girls Club where everyone has a possibility to speak. I would like to introduce you to Torey Hendrix. Torey wrote an interesting article about girls in poker. I wanted to cover this topic a long time ago, but didn’t know where to start. And now Torey writes about the successful and lucky rich girls who have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments. Maybe it is time to move those relaxed poker games at home to the next level, girls? Yours, Rich Girl

Poker may still be a “boys” game on the surface, as the vast majority of players are still male, but women have been closing the gap in recent years, as especially as the popularity of online blackjack and poker sites have grown. Plenty of women have had success at the poker tables for years (both in casual home games as well as at the highest stakes games) but it’s only in recent years that more and more women turn to poker as a full-time profession. The girls are now striking it rich in poker right alongside the boys, and in many cases are a much hotter commodity when it comes to sponsorship deals and endorsements.

“The heiress herself is a poker aficionado and yes, she wins!”

Top female pros such as Vanessa Rousso, Vanessa Selbst, Kathy Liebert, and Annette Obrestad each have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments alone — a figure that doesn’t include playing in live cash games or their results from online play. Jennifer Harman Traniello just barely misses out on the $3 million club (although she does have over $2.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings) but she’s better known as one of the few women who’ve regularly battled with the best cash game players — think Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu — in Las Vegas’ biggest cash games.

As far as star factor, actress Jennifer Tilly is a regular feature at the tables, playing alongside boyfriend Phil Laak at many of the world’s biggest poker tournaments. She’s definitely picked up a thing or two herself, as she’s got a World Series of Poker win to her credit in a Ladies event as well as a win in a Bellagio tournament. Former model and TV star Liv Boeree has also proven handy at the poker table, winning an European Poker Tour event and eclipsing the $2 million mark in lifetime earnings.

More and more women are turning to online play as well to sharpen their games, which provides a comfortable and easy way to learn the game. Online sites now offer hundreds of games such as poker, blackjack, craps, and slots games online, enabling new players to learn and enjoy a variety of games without the intimidation factor of taking a seat live in a casino for the first time. And playing online can be just as lucrative for poker players, as many online pros easily make $100,000-$200,000/year, and all without ever having to leave the comfort of their favorite chair or couch.

Rich Girl Visits Michael Kors Paris Store

Those of you who have been reading Rich Girls Club for a while know how much I love Michael Kors brand. I love everything about it – handbags, shoes, accessories and dresses and, of course, Michael Kors’ smile. So, when I was in Paris in the middle of March this year, I couldn’t resist the temptation to visit Michael Kors’ brand new store on my favorite street – 279 rue Saint-Honoré.

The store just opened on the 7th of March, a week before I was there. Michael Kors himself was present at the launch of his spanking new boutique, can’t believe I missed it.

Michael Kors 7,000 sq ft, two-storey store in Paris is the largest in his 175-shop chain around the world. The store features the full collection of accessories and apparel, from MICHAEL Michael Kors to KORS to Collection pieces. The store is very spacious and is decorated in luminous white, glass and mirrors, with zebra-skin rugs on the floors, and black and white blow-up photographs.

The moment I entered the store I didn’t want to leave, it was so bright and at the same time cozy, and everyone who worked there was so friendly and helpful. For a moment I thought I could stay there and work as a shop assistant, so that I would never have to leave this place.

I’ve spent what felt like forever trying on things and walking around the store, taking pictures and chatting to the staff. I really enjoyed my time and didn’t leave barehanded. I have found some really cool yellow ballerina flats, which matched my trench coat just perfectly.

I bought a handbag which now is my the most favorite one and some other bits and pieces. Also, as an amazing surprise gift from the store, I received this cool bag with the signed card from Michael Kors. This bag will be very useful when I will start my beach season here in Marbella.

So, I was leaving Michael Kors store with two huge bags and a smile on my face. Shopping can really lift your spirits high.

Oh, and this picture is made especially for the girls, just look how handsome guys at the Michael Kors store in Paris are

So, girls, when you will plan your next visit to Paris, don’t forget to add Michael Kors store to your list of “Must See” things, you will love it there.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Rich Girl Attends Antibes Yacht Show 2011

I have just returned from my trip to French Riviera where I was lucky to spend one week on Antibes Yacht Show 2011.

Antibes Yacht Show is the first major yacht show of the season and is held in the port of Vauban, which is the largest port in Europe and this year there were 36 superyachts on display. This was my first time on the Antibes Yacht Show and I loved it. The show was wonderful, very well organized, a lot of amazing yachts and boats to look at as well as impressive list of participating companies.

For me this show was all about champagne and rose wine and after parties. Well, life is beautiful when you are in the yachting industry. My days started and ended with champagne with hors d’œuvre in different places through out the show and I can’t say I didn’t like it. Although, after consuming so much of wine I was just drinking water in a plane on my way back home.

So, going to yacht shows is always so much fun, you meet interesting people whether it is the owner of the yacht or it’s captain. Oh, this reminds me that I still haven’t told you about my trip to Monaco Boat Show 2010, where I bumped into mister Abramovich. Please remind me to tell you about Monaco next time, I have some really interesting and intriguing memories to share.

I have met some nice and interesting people during Antibes Yacht Show 2011 as well. For, example, Maik van Zoggel the director of the Dutch company – YachtsXL. The company makes amazing videos of yachts, boats and everything which falls into this category. Good quality videos of a yacht is a great way of advertising it for potential buyers or people interested in charter.

I have spent some time on the YachtsXL stand, talked to a lot of interesting people, laughed, enjoyed some sushi and great rose wine. Guys at YachtsXL are very friendly and professional, so the next time you will need a video of your yacht or company contact them first. They are great!

The other stand I want to point out from the Antibes Yacht Show 2011 is the one by Corkers Fine Wines & Provisions. The guys on the stand were very generous, they offered numerous tastings for their exquisite white and rose wines as well as provided some other stands with free bottles. This company is a specialist supplier to the yachting industry with over 30 years experience, has extensive range of world class wines and highly competitive prices.

Every evening there was live music and drinks at a “Crew Lounge”, organized by the Bluewater. This lounge was packed with people every evening and was a great place to make new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the most busiest stands during the show was Dovaston Crew – a world leader in the placement of professional crew. Dovaston Crew has office in Antibes and one night they organized drinks there.

So many people wanted to come for a drink, that they couldn’t even fit inside. Thankfully the weather was amazing and there was a happy crowd outside the office.

The other busy stand was Lloyds TSB International, very friendly team of professionals was helping crew members to open their offshore international bank accounts.

There were also other parties, like barbeque for the crew, cocktail party for the exhibitors, Captains’ Dinner and other. As I told you, it was really hard to stay focused and sober

If you ask me what yacht did I like the most during my time on the show, I would definitely say – Dilbar! It looks just the way I want my yacht to look one day. I haven’t been inside that yacht yet, because the yacht was not among the show participants, but I bet it is as grand inside as it looks from the outside.

So, Antibes Yacht Show 2011 was an amazing event, time flied so fast. At first, when I was just going there I thought what am I going to do for almost a week on a show, but it turned out that every day was filled with different and exciting things to do and people to meet.

The last thing I want to tell you, rich girls, about Yacht Shows is that yachting industry is a man’s world. And it means that if you are still single and planning to find the man of your dreams preferably with the yacht, you need to hurry up and order tickets to the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show 2011 which will be in the end of September. Also, if you still haven’t decided what career path to take, I would suggest you look into possibility of being a stewardess on a yacht. It’s fun, you live and eat on a yacht, you hang around cool people and you can save lots of money, because the salary is good and you can only spend it on your shopping while on shore, how cool is that?!

If you decide to try your chances as a stewardess then I suggest you turn to Bluewater for training first and after that Dovaston Crew will help you find the perfect yacht to work for.

Have you ever been to a yacht show before? What do you think about it? How you choose your next yacht for charter?

If you have any questions, I would love to hear back form you! Let’s have a conversation in the comments below.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Delicious CupCakes in Marbella

Anyone who know me pretty well will tell you that I am such a sweet tooth. It is killing my looks and my perfect teeth, but I can’t help it. I love any kind of deserts, cakes, macarons, pastries, candies, ice-cream and cupcakes. My experience in tasting all kinds of sweet food have made me an expert – very picky and hard to please. So, when I needed to decide on what kind of cake and where to order it for my birthday I conducted quite a research.

I wanted something special, which would “wow” my guests, so I decided on colourful cupcakes. There are a few companies here in Costa del Sol, specializing on cupcakes, but after approaching them all I made up my mind to order from CakeMarbella.com And not because I tried their cupcakes, but because of the exceptional service and friendly approach I experienced.

In the end I have ordered 36 cupcakes of three different flavours – red velvet, chocolate and carrot cake, and colours – pink, yellow and white. They looked absolutely fabulous in the basket, but when I displayed them on the tower – it became the main attraction of the evening. And the little ones adored them.

I was absolutely satisfied with cupcakes and the effect they made on my guests. Not only they tasted really delicious, on the next day my friends were calling me asking if there were still something left from the party, but they also looked fantastic, especially the ones with custom made little stars, which I ordered on purpose, ’cause I am a Star jk.

If you live in Costa del Sol and you plan to have any kind of party, I would recommend you turn to CakeMarbella.com and everything will go smoothly. You will be able to choose from the range of flavours and colours, as well as personalized graphics to decorate your cupcakes and on the set date your cupcakes will be delivered straight to your venue, which is extremely convenient.

Now, I want to have another party!

Yours,

Rich Girl

The Ritz-Carlton World’s Highest Hotel

Hey, hey, girls! Have you already heard about the latest addition to the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain – The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong?! The hotel opened in the end of March this year and is the world’s “highest” hotel at the moment, located at the very top of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Hong Kong, occupying floors 102 to 118. I haven’t been there yet, but those who visited this hotel were raving about the magnificent and absolutely breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the iconic Hong Kong skyline as well as absolutely fantastic service and key amenities at the hotel.

I think that we, girls, will love this hotel for several reasons:

First reason – the SPA

At the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel they have SPA by ESPA – which is my absolute favorite SPA in the world! Although, the best location for the SPA to my mind is somewhere outside on a secluded island or a beach, where you can enjoy the fresh air, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore and twittering of exotic birds, the ESPA at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong offers something more unique – SPA at the 16,000 feet above the ground with floor-to-ceiling windows! Have you ever been to the SPA on the 116th floor with panoramic views before?!

Second reason – Chocolate Lounge

Us, girls, we love chocolate! And, yes, we are on a constant diets and blah, blah, blah. But I haven’t seen a girl in my life who would refuse a delicious chocolate or exquisite desert at least once in while. And at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong there is a chocolate-themed lounge named The Chocolate Library on the 103rd floor and a stylish patisserie located on the 9th floor as well as three restaurants on the 102nd floor.

Third reason – Shopping

Shopping is the main reason of all my travels, just kidding (not really!). The one million square foot Elements shopping mall in the podium of the International Commerce Centre offers some of the finest shopping in Hong Kong with luxury brand names.

These are the main reasons why I already know that I will love the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel, but of course there are a lot more things this amazing hotel has to offer. Like the largest ballrooms in the city at 10,000 sqft., elaborately decorated with a sea of crystal chandeliers. The décor of the Diamond Ballroom will be perfect for weddings, meetings and gala events.

And the comfortable rooms with amazing views will guarantee you will wake up happy and ready for an exciting day ahead of you.

At the end of the successful and adventurous day there is nothing better than a refreshing drink in a bar, right?

I really loved this hotel and the pictures! But if you want to get the better idea and feeling, I suggest you to watch this video:

After writing about this amazing hotel and viewing all these pictures, I have realized that it is time for me to travel to Hong Kong. What about you, girls? Have you been to Hong Kong before?

Have a great day!

Yours,

Rich Girl
