Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Guys And Girls
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
I have already mentioned before, that Valentine’s Day is one of my most favorite holidays. I love everything about it: chocolates, flowers, cards, hearts, romantic diners and getaways. It is a very beautiful day of love and unity. And even if you don’t have that special someone at the moment, you should still spend this day pampering and spoiling yourself, because the first and most important person in your life is YOU! And you deserve the best!
For those of you, who have already found that special someone, I have a question: what gifts you usually buy, if you buy any at all? Girls, what do you get to your husbands or boyfriends? How do you surprise your Mr. Right on Valentines Day? I personally always find it difficult to find a perfect and suitable gift for a guy, that’s why I have decided to collect some ideas on the internet. Please let me know what do you think?
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Men
1 – Great bottles of wine and golf balls
Well, maybe this gift idea is not very original, but it sure is practical. I think that every guy will be able to appreciate good wine and if he plays golf, then you should know better that there is never too much of golf balls.
2 – Cufflinks
Cufflinks is also a great present for guys, who wear suites to work or need to attend formal events on a regular basis. If you are not sure that your boyfriend even has a shirt with cufflinks, you can buy him a shirt as well. It is time you introduce him to classic attire.
Donald Trump Gold-Plated Rhodium Cufflinks
3 – Valentine Bamboo
I don’t think that guys like to receive flowers on Valentines Day, but this bamboo is different. I can see this bamboo to be delivered to your boyfriends office by a courier. He will be pleasantly surprised and I think it will look nicely in his office. Bamboo symbolizes good luck and success and brings good fortune and prosperity to the house or office. It is also said that bamboo is luckiest when you receive it as a gift. So, isn’t it a great gift idea? You will help your boyfriend attract luck as well as it will always remind him about your love towards him.
Valentine’s Day – Be Still My Heart Valentine Bamboo – Best
4 – Cheesecake Heart
Who said that cakes are only for girls? Guys love sweet things and desserts as much as we do. Also, by giving him cake in a shape of heart you shoot two birds with one stone: you will have a romantic dessert to share between you and you have a present. Genius! 
5 – Dom Perignon Champagne and Godiva Truffles
This present is of course unisex, but if you don’t have better idea, then this will be also perfect. Again, you can share it afterwards and toast your engagement, in case he will choose to propose on Valentines Day. You never know, need to be always ready and with great manicure!

6 – Chocolate Bouquet
This is also a great gift idea for a guy, but it is better be delivered to his office, because if you gonna have it at home, I bet you are not be strong enough to hold on to your resolutions to limit sugar intake.
Valentine’s Day – Sweets In Bloom Chocolate Enchantment Valentine’s Day Flower Bouquet – Best
6 – Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift Just For Him
This gift covers everything Valentines Day stands for: flowers, candies or sweets and a gift. Well, I am still not sure about the flowers for a guy, but all together it looks quite fancy. What do you think?
Valentine’s Day – Just For Him Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift – Vase Included
7 – Personalized M&M’s
I love this personalized m&m’s idea! It is also fun to order, you can choose different colors, you can add your own text or choose from the selection that they already have and finally you can choose the package – a box, bottle, vase or dispenser. I think that personalized m&m’s in a dispenser is a super cool and fun gift idea for Valentines Day!

Jane Krakowski Wears Antonio Berardi Dress
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
Girls, remember on the 16th of January 2012 I was posting the list of dresses I would wear if I was going to be on the Golden Globe Awards 2012 red carpet? Well, those of you who missed my post with the selection of dresses and don’t know what I am talking about, please see it here before you continue reading this current post.
So, yes I have made a list of, to my mind, perfect red carpet choices and was curious to see if any celebrity would actually wear something from my list. It was more like a bet for me, not that I was actually believing that one of the actresses (or their stylists) would pick the same dresses. I also didn’t expect that celebrity girls would have the same taste in designer evening dresses as me. I did it just for fun.
Now imagine my surprise, shock and excitement when I was browsing through pictures from the SAG Awards Red Carpet 2012 and saw Jane Krakowski!! Jane Krakowski, the star of the “30Rock” tv-series, was wearing the dress I’ve picked! How cool and unbelievable is that?! Jane was wearing the black dress with the breathtaking beaded top by Antonio Berardi. The dress, which was my top 3 pick, after the gorgeous red dress by Zac Posen.
Here are the pictures of the Antonio Berardi dress:

And here is Jane Krakowski on the SAG Awards 2012 red carpet:
So, rich girls, what do you think? Was this dress a great choice for Jane Krakowski? I think it was definitely an amazing dress and she looked gorgeous in it. I am also happy to know that me and Jane (or her stylist) have the same taste in evening dresses. This inspires me to do more lists like this in the future!
Well, let’s wait and see if someone would actually wear the red dress by Zac Posen. I will be beyond myself with excitement! Which celebrity girl would look the best in this dress?
Zac Posen

7 Ways To Celebrate Valentines Day In Luxury
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog, Rich Photos
Valentine’s Day is one of my most favorite days of the year, after my Birthday and New Years. I still remember how we all waited in anticipation this day in school, guessing if this year will be different and we will receive Valentine’s card from that special someone. Well, I received a lot of cute messages and cards on Valentine’s Day when I was studying, but never from someone I really wanted, which always made me feel disappointed. Now I remember it with a smile, back then it was a tragedy of my life.
Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate, red roses, champagne and love. Love between two people, what can be more beautiful and magical? There is no surprise that a lot of people choose Valentine’s Day for marriage or proposal, because everything around screams of love and unity. Together forever! This is the day when you want to believe in eternal love and true soul mates, the day you want to do something special and celebrate in style and luxury.
That is why I selected 7 most exciting and romantic ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in The Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas – Champagne Sunset Sail
I think that sunset is the most romantic part of the day. What do you think? How would you like to enjoy a beautiful & romantic sunset in the Caribbean waters with a live guitarist on-board?! Well, The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas is offering a special Champagne Sunset Sail this Valentine’s Day aboard Lady Lynsey, the resort’s luxury 53-foot catamaran which will pick guests up right from the resort beach.
Toast your romance with a selection of Champagne, savor specialty hors d’oeuvres and enjoy the soothing sounds of a live guitarist on-board as you sail through the serene Caribbean waters and watch one of St. Thomas’s legendary sunsets.
The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island – Fire by The Dunes
How about personal fire in the dunes, where a crackling fire, comfy blankets and the sound of soothing waves draw you closer?! If you and your partner love the beach, then the Fire by The Dunes experience at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island would be perfect choice for you this Valentine’s Day. The beach and fire by the dunes also includes s’mores, a thermos of hot chocolate, thermo cups and high-powered celestial binoculars for star gazing. A personal attendant is nearby to cater to your needs.
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong – Take Your Breath Away
The world’s highest bar Ozone is offering a bespoke “Take Your Breath Away Dining Experience” which includes an exclusive use of the private dining room located at 490 metres above sea level, featuring captivating vistas of the city and Victoria Harbour; a 10-course menu, a bottle of Louis Roederer, Cristal 2004, a bouquet of 99 roses and a box of 99 pieces of chocolates. This exclusive package is available only on February 14 for one couple at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong – Sensational Spa-cial
Spa pampering is the ultimate Valentine’s Day indulgence for couples that is why The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA this Valentine’s Day will be offering a 90-minute bespoke treatment in the Couple’s Suite, followed by a 60-minute relaxation time when guests can enjoy the Jacuzzi overlooking the Victoria Harbour in the secluded haven of the suite.
A bottle of champagne with chocolate-coated strawberries and red roses, an ESPA gift and an afternoon tea for two at Café 103 are with the Spa’s compliment to complete the sweetest experience ever.
The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain – Romance Menu And Chocolate Decadence Buffet
This option will be perfect for people, who love chocolate, which is almost everyone of us. The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain restaurant’s à la carte romance menu on Valentine’s Day will include a Chocolate Decadence buffet created by Executive Chef David Serus. Valentine’s Dinner at CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar will feature such main course selections as Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Green Asparagus and Dungeness Crab Béarnaise, Goat Cheese Soufflé Colorado Lamb with Truffle Gnocchi, and Pan-Seared John Dory with Crushed Fingerling Potatoes.

The Valentine’s Splash Dining experience includes a four-course menu and champagne toast.

Oscar Nominations 2012. What Do You Think, Girls?
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
The nominees for the 2012 Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning, and for the first time in my life they made me sad. Sad, because out of all these movies I literally watched only 8 out of the whole list (including cartoons, special effects nominations, etc), which are: “The Descendants”, “Moneyball”, “Bridesmaids”, “Margin Call”, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, “Rio”, “Rango”, “Kung Fu Panda 2″. And out of these 8 movies, only 2 are nominated for the best movie award: “Moneyball” and “The Descendants”. So, I can’t even be excited for the upcoming event as I don’t know what to expect and hope for. Which is sad, because usually I know the majority of the movies and have my personal favorites.
This is the only downcast part for me of living in Spain, all the movies in theaters are dubbed in Spanish and there is hardly one movie in English (original version) per week. When I lived in Latvia I used to go to the movies almost every week, sometimes we even went to see a few movies on the same day. I love going to cinema, instead of watching movies at home, because it is a great fun. Dressing up, watching the trailers, watching people, buying popcorn, hating someone in the audience for being a jerk, this is all part of the experience. Of course people are different and only today I was reading one blog, where a girl was stating the exact opposite things. She said that she actually hates to go to the cinema and prefers to watch everything at home, without annoying people, who chew their popcorn way too loud.
Anyway, so as I haven’t seen the majority of the movies, I can’t judge if the nominations are fair or not. For example, I don’t think that “Moneyball” was some kind of special movie to be even considered for nomination, but it is only me. I loved “The Descendants” a lot, mostly because of the Clooney and I was reading the glorious reviews about “The Artist”, so I probably should watch this movie somehow before the Oscars night. And I also want to watch “Hugo”, as this Martin Scorsese’s movie earned 11 nominations. Oh, and “The Help” of course.
There is no possible way that I will be able to see all the movies, so girls, please help me out here. What are your most favorite movies from the list of Oscar Nominations for 2012? Is there a movie you strongly recommend to see? What are your predictions/hopes for the Oscars night? Who is your favorite actress, that deserves the Oscar this year? I would love to hear your opinion in the comments below.
Well, I don’t know who is going to win the Oscar in 2012, but one thing I know for sure, that on the 26th of February our favorite celebrity girls will be rocking their amazing dresses on the red carpet. And this is what I am really dying to see.

Vera Wang On Gossip Girl
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
I was watching the latest episode of Gossip Girls today and was surprised to see Vera Wang there. Blair and Dan were visiting Vera Wang’s boutique on Madison Avenue for the wedding dress fitting and Vera Wang herself came to assist them.
It was nice to get inside the Vera Wang boutique, since I haven’t been there yet. Also I was surprised to see that the designer is a such tiny lady. They say that TV adds like 10 pounds to your appearance, well I just imagine how Vera Wang looks in real life.
Other than Vera Wang’s appearance, the latest Gossip Girl episode was a little bit sad to watch. I can’t stand how the writers are torturing pure Chuck and Blair, sometimes even without a common sense. One more thing that I noticed is that the parties on Gossip Girl are not too exciting anymore, like they used to be in the beginning when the show just started. In this episode they are celebrating New Year at Nate’s office, how lame is that?
Anyway, I am really waiting for the Wedding episode, which will also be the 100th episode of Gossip Girl, to be something special and spectacular, although I still want Chuck and Blair be together. Let’s wait and see.
Girls, what do you think about Gossip Girl? Are you watching it?

14 Best Dresses From Golden Globes 2012
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
So girls, what do you think about the Golden Globe Awards this year? Have all your favorite actresses and actors win? I am really sad for Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, it seems like they never will be able to win anything. They are both great actors, but somehow every time they are nominated for an award there is always someone better in the same category. Like George Clooney, for example I love Clooney, but I wanted for Brad or Leo to win this time. Well, there is always a hope for the Oscars.
Anyway, I think that the show was great and everyone received the deserved prizes. I was particularly happy for the “Modern Family”, because I love this show! But what I really want to talk about is the red carpet and the dresses. To tell you the truth, at first I was a little bit disappointed with the dresses that our beloved celebrities have chosen for the awards’ red carpet. I thought that some of the dresses were plain boring and some were just stupid, but as I was looking at the same pictures again and again, I started to get some of the dresses and even liked a few.
Here is my “Top 11 Best Golden Globe 2012 Celebrity Red Carpet Dresses”
11 – Zooey Deschanel in Prada
I loved this dress because of the interesting top and dramatic back. I have never seen green and black look so organically together.
10 – Jessica Alba in Gucci
The dress all by itself maybe is not something extraordinary, but it looks great on Jessica Alba. I just wonder what would not look great on Alba? She is gorgeous.
9 – Jenna Dewan in Maria Lucia Hohan
I love the color, the top and the back of this dress. All in all it works great for Jenna, although if there were a lot of other amazing dresses on the red carpet I probably wouldn’t pick this one at all.
8 – Emma Stone in Lanvin
I loved the dress, chosen by Emma, it looked great on her. What I would suggest her for the next red carpet event is to review her makeup. I think she overdone her eyes a little bit too much.
7 – Viola Davis in Pucci
Viola Davis looked stunning and elegant in this Pucci dress. I don’t know what the color is called exactly, but it looks wonderful on Viola!
6 – Claire Danes in J.Mendel
This J.Mendel dress was an excellent choice for Claire Danes. I loved the dramatic back and black and white color combination.
The above listed dresses were elegant and beautiful, but to my mind a little bit too simple for such a grand event as Golden Globe Award ceremony. These dresses would be absolutely amazing choices for attending a wedding, but to stand out on a red carpet you need to try harder and therefore here is my Top 5 Best Dresses. I won’t even explain why I love these dresses the most. What I just want to say is that dress can be beautiful or amazing all by itself, but it is the girl that makes the dress look spectacular!
5 – Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang
4 – Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci
3 – Lea Michele in Marchesa
2 – Diana Argon in Giles
1 – Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
And while Angelina Jolie was the ultimate star on the red carpet, there were also 3 more dresses that are worth mentioning:
Paris Hilton at the Golden Globe Awards 2012 after party:
Kim Kardashian in Bruce Oldfield dress:
Miranda Kerr in Dolce & Gabbana
Now I have mentioned everyone I liked Although I still think that the dresses that I have chosen for this event myself, were much more amazing than the ones chosen by celebrities. There, I said it!
So, rich girls, what do you think about the dresses? Did you like or hate something in particular? Let me know your opinion in the comments below!

What Would You Wear For Golden Globe Awards 2012 Red Carpet?
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
While all celebrity rich girls are getting ready to sparkle and take our breath away on the Golden Globes red carpet tonight, I decided to join them in their search for that perfect dress. Well, I will only be searching and picking the dress in my dreams, but who knows, maybe one day I will be choosing my evening gown for Golden Globes red carpet for real! Everything is possible, right?!
So, before starting to browse all these numerous amazing evening dress options, I need to know what exactly am I looking for, because picking the right dress for Golden Globe Awards is crucial for celebrities. They can either be praised for a long time in numerous online resources, tv-shows and magazines, which is great publicity or they can be trashed as worst dressed, which is upsetting, but still good for publicity. And the worst case scenario would be total ignore, this is when the dress is so boring that no one is interested and all the efforts die in vain.
When you are getting dressed for a party you want to stand out from the crowd, right? Now imagine that the whole world will be waiting to see what you gonna wear and you need to upstage the most beautiful and glamorous girls in the world?! What a pressure and responsibility, right?! Of course, every celebrity has a team of people helping her to make the right choice, but I still believe that the final decision is hers to make.
So, anyway what I would be looking in a dress (when I will be attending Golden Globes one day, he-he ) is something elegant, but also a little bit over the top, to make sure that I stand out from the other girls. And as the dress code for the event is black tie, the gown should definitely be long.
So, here we go, dresses which I would wear for Golden Globe Awards 2012 red carpet:
My top three picks are the following gorgeous dresses: red dress by Zac Posen, dark blue gown also by Zac Posen and black crystal-embellished gown by Antonio Berardi. I think that these dresses are elegant with a tiny touch of crazy, just exactly what I like.

The other three choices would be these magnificent dresses by Monique Lhuillier. These are more classy choices and for those celebrities who like to play it safe, because there is no way that you can end up on the worst dressed list by wearing these gowns.

If I were pregnant during Golden Globe Awards, I would choose this simple yet elegant dress by Monique Lhuillier.

And finally three dresses for celebrities who are risk takers, because you never know what people will think of these gowns, either you will be the most extravagantly and awesomely dressed or you will end up on the worst dressed list. Your fate will be in the hands of fashion editors.
Marchesa
Alexander McQueen
Armani Prive
The last look I picked based on the hat, I wonder how many celebrities will be wearing hats this year? After English Aristocrats were rocking hats at the Royal wedding last April, I would love to see some Hollywood celebrities with exquisite hair accessories or hats.
So, these are my choices of evening dresses for the Golden Globe Awards 2012 red carpet. It is really hard to pick one, but thank God there are numerous after parties, so you can always have at least three or four dresses stocked.
What do you think about these dresses, rich girls? Do you like any of them? What would you wear Golden Globe Awards red carpet? Are you going to watch Golden Globe Awards 2012 tonight?
I really can’t wait to see the girls on the red carpet. I hope they won’t disappoint us with their choices of fancy evening dresses.

Miss America 2012: Laura Kaeppeler
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
Yesterday, on the 14th of January 2012, during the 91st Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas, Miss Wisconsin – Laura Kaeppeler – was crowned the new Miss America 2012.
Along with the title, Laura won a $50,000 scholarship which she plans to use for becoming a lawyer, specializing in helping children of incarcerated adults.
Laura Kaeppeler, 23, has an unusual past. Her father served 18 months in federal prison for mail fraud when Laura just started college. Laura Kaeppeler made her father’s jail time part of her pageant platform and her mission, which is to help children of incarcerated adults feel less alone, to have mentoring and as much of a relationship with their parents as possible.
Laura also won an additional $2,000 in scholarship funds for her victory in the preliminary talent competition, for her performance of “Il Bacio” by Luigi Arditi.
So, what can I say?! Congratulations to new Miss America 2012! She looks cute and has a beautiful singing voice. She is also smart, as she introduced herself to pageant viewers by referencing her home state’s Green Bay Packers, the NFL’s defending Super Bowl champions, and used the television prime time to ask Aaron Rodgers (superstar quarterback) to call her. Very smart move!
Good luck to Laura in her future endeavors and I have a feeling that we will hear a lot about this girl in the future. She definitely has a potential of a future celebrity rich girl! Let’s wait and see if I am right

11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011
By Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
The year 2011 was full of wonderful moments. A lot of good and bad things have happened in the world during this year, but as always we are not going to concentrate on the bad things. I have decided to remember only the good things and make the list of those celebrity girls, for whom (to my mind) this year was the most successful and unforgettable. Let’s celebrate those inspiring rich girls, who set high standards, never stop surprising us and manage to achieve great results.
So, who were the most outstanding celebrity girls of 2011? It was really hard to choose only 11 celebrity girls, because there are so much more high achievers, but rules are rules. I have selected 11 girls based on one of the following criteria: outstanding achievements, buzz, life changing experience and inspiration.
Some of the girls in this list will match all the criteria, some may only match one, but nonetheless they all have earned the right to be on the list.
1 – Kate Middleton now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
The Royal Wedding was definitely the most beautiful and romantic event of the year and Catherine was the ultimate star! I think that Kate Middleton is the most successful girls of 2011, because she managed to marry the prince! Sometimes all it takes is to marry the right guy, after that your life is a complete fairy tale.
2 – Adele
Adele experienced breathtaking rise to fame in 2011. Her single “Someone Like You” became a number one hit around the world and the album “21″ topped the charts in 18 countries including the United States. Adele’s “21″ was also last year’s biggest selling digital album.
There are a lot of things that I like about Adele: her voice, her songs and the fact that she doesn’t look like most of the stars. She is unique in every possible way and I hope she will continue make us happy or sad with her new songs. My personal favorite Adele’s song is “Rolling in the Deep” and I first heard and loved it in the “Gossip Girl” – Bar Mitzvah episode. This song suited perfectly Chuck and Blair’s romance!
3 – Victoria Beckham
It was a very successful year for Victoria Beckham both family and career wise. She welcomed her beautiful baby daughter Harper Seven into the family and won the “Designer Brand of the Year” at the “2011 British Fashion Awards”, beating Stella McCartney, Tom Ford and Burberry. I was writing about Victoria Beckham earlier this year, as she is a very inspiring rich girl.
4 – Rihanna
In 2011 Rihanna achieved a lot and this year was really amazing for her. She received Grammy Award (Dance Recording), Billboard Award (Female Artist of the Year), Brit (International Female Artist of the Year) Award, American Music Award (Favorite R&B Album), BET award (Best Female R&B Artist) in just one year! Her album “Loud” sold over 6,000,000 copies internationally, she sold more than 47 million digital tracks in 2011, which puts her ahead of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Beyonce, her “Loud” tour was the 7th top grossing world tour in 2011 and the list of Rihanna’s achievements this year can go on and on. I just listed the most inspiring ones. And don’t forget that Rihanna is only 23 years old!
5 – Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous and as far as I am concerned she is good at it. She spent over 10 million dollars on a wedding, ordered three amazing wedding dresses from Vera Wang only to file for divorce in just 72 days of marriage. Well, she made headlines this year and people were actually interested in all her wedding preparations, the dream wedding and the divorce drama. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011, Kim Kardashian wedding was most popular search in weddings category within the United States. Even the Royal wedding was left behind, on the 2nd place. I think that only Kim Kardashian could pull this off and although she is not a great role model she deserves a place in our top for constantly finding new ways to be in a spot light.
6 – Natalie Portman
I bet that 2011 will be the year which Natalie Portman will look back to and say: “This year was the most amazing of all!” I hope that she will have a lot more successful years in the future, but 2011 was really the year to remember. Natalie Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance as Nina Sayers in “Black Swan”. But 2011 was also unforgettable, because Natalie gave birth to her first child, a son named Aleph Portman-Millepied.
7 – Charlene Wittstock, now Charlene, Princess of Monaco
A girl from South Africa marrying into one of Europe’s oldest royal families, isn’t it a true fairy tale? And even though the wedding was clouded by suggestions that Charlene almost became a runaway bride after she found out about Prince Albert’s private life, the event turned out to be grand and beautiful. Maybe not as hugely discussed and viewed as the Royal Wedding of Catherine and William, but still breathtaking. And I actually loved Charlene’s wedding dress better.
8 – Pippa Middleton
One girl which woke up famous this year was Pippa Middleton. After she rocked that white dress by Sarah Burton at her sister’s Royal Wedding, she skyrocketed to fame. Guys love her, girls want to copy her body parts and the way she dresses and Pippa is just enjoying her invitations to all the glamorous parties and probably is writing a book. Yes, Pippa Middleton is said to be close to signing a book deal on how to be the perfect party hostess. Well, it is definitely good to have a famous sister.
9 – Beyoncé
She is a great singer and beautiful woman, she is inspiration for all of us. This year all the fans were happy to hear the good news, that the power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z is expecting their first child. Her pregnancy announcement had broken the “most tweets per second recorded for a single event” Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second.
But somehow these amazing news were spoiled by the allegations that Beyonce is not actually pregnant and is wearing a special pillow to look pregnant, that a surrogate is doing the actual job. I still don’t know whether it is true or not. I hope she is pregnant for real, because I can see no reason why would she fake her pregnancy or turn to surrogate at this young age. Anyway, Beyonce is a star and she can do whatever she wants. I like what she said in one of her videos: “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world.”
10 – Jennifer Aniston
Everyone wants to believe in true relationships and happy mutual love. This year we had a chance to feel happy for Jennifer as it seems that she has finally found her Mr. Right! Jennifer Aniston radiated happiness all year, thank you Justin Theroux Her new haircut this year also made people talk. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011 Jennifer Aniston haircut was number 2 most popular search in haircuts category, just a little bit behind Justin Bieber’s haircut and way ahead of Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Diana Agron haircuts.
Also, I really loved her this year in “Horrible Bosses”.
11 – Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson lost 80 lbs and turned into a completely different person. This year she was shining on different events, in amazing tight outfits and said that she now looks and feels 10 years younger. I have added Jennifer to the list of 11 most successful and inspiring rich girls of 2011 because she is not only talented singer and Academy Award winner and a mother of a gorgeous kid, but she also managed to turn her life around and become more healthy and confident. If she could do it, we all can do it! Let’s be healthier and happier in 2012!
So, here is the list of 11 rich girls who, to my mind, were having a blast in 2011. Of course some of you may disagree with this list and I would really want to hear that Please share your opinion in the comments below.
The reason I wanted to create this list in the first place, is to inspire you to make the year 2012 to remember! Set yourself high standards, targets and goals this year! You can do anything! Dream big and act on it!
Let the 2012 be the most successful of all years! And who knows, maybe at the beginning of 2013 there will be your name on my list!

I hope that each and everyone of you is having a very special time with your family or friends this Christmas. This year I had a wonderful celebration with my friends. We had so much fun and plenty of amazing food. I still can’t breathe after the amount of food I ate this Christmas. The good thing is that I already know what my New Years resolution will be: LOSE WEIGHT!!! Well, this will only hopefully happen next year, but now I can still enjoy my favorite food.
I love winter Holidays, everyone is happy, exchange gifts, reflect on the great things that had happened this year and hope for even better year to come!
I want to thank you all for being the part of Rich Girl’s Club in 2011! Without you, this wouldn’t be fun! Thank you for your support and love! I felt it throughout the year and it gave me inspiration for new exciting posts. I am really happy that we have been together in 2011 and I hope you will enjoy Rich Girls Club even more in 2012!
Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New 2012 Year!
