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?

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

Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
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!
And here is my Christmas Greeting card to you!

Gemstone Bracelet = Magic, Luxury, Beauty And Heeling
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
A few days ago I have noticed that my friend was wearing a very beautiful and unique bracelet. I haven’t seen something like that before, so I asked her what was that and where did she get it. She explained me, that it was a present from her boyfriend and the bracelet is handmade out of Agate Botswana gemstones. That these stones provide energy to the aura and promote eternal love, increase creativity and help you find solutions, rather than dwelling on your problems. And this stone also has been said to increase fertility and is known for increasing sensuality and passion in the person that carries it. So, not only the bracelet was really pretty, it also bared magic within it. I was jealous.
Where are a lot of stones in this world and each of them has a different meaning and has specific healing or protective qualities. I am not that much into stones myself, but I know a lot of people who can talk for hours about it. One of my guy-friends wears huge aquamarine ring on his finger, because it is said to be sailors’ lucky stone as well as a birthstone for those born in March. For me it may look a little bit strange, as I am not a fan of any kind of rings on men other than a wedding band, but I also respect his way of expressing himself.
I don’t know if you believe in special powers of certain stones, but in the course of human history, people have always believed in the power of crystals and stones, in their healing and spiritual qualities as well as ability to attract good energy, love and ‘luck’.
To enhance the power of the stones you need to make sure, that you wear them in skin contact, so bracelets or necklaces, which are made out of stones, are the perfect choice.
Of course, if you are interested in learning more about the power of stones, you can find a lot of useful and interesting information online. The reason why I wanted to write this post was because I really loved the bracelet which my friend was wearing and I wanted to have something similar. Turned out that these bracelets are handmade by highly skilled professional craftsmen and jewelers using the highest quality gemstones and diamonds in all colors, incorporating Platinum, Gold and Silver. The only way to get them is to order online at Nibrana.com.
So, I contacted the owner of the site, expressed my admiration, asked a lot of questions and as a result they offered me 20% discount on any purchase. Which was super cool, right?! You need to talk and be nice to people, it always pays off, you know. They also liked the Rich Girls Club so much, that they decided to offer 20% discount for everyone with coupon code: richgirls
So, whether you believe or not in the special powers of stones, you can’t deny the fact that these bracelets look amazing and one of them can definitely be a great Christmas present for someone special! Sometimes it is so hard to find a gift with a certain meaning, so let the stones do the talking for you.
Below are just a few Nibrana bracelets, which I loved the most. You can find a lot more on their site.
Nibrana Bracelets For Her
Nibrana Bracelets For Him
If you are still looking for a Christmas present for your boyfriend and if he is into these kind of things, one of the bracelets could actually be a great gift.
So, rich girls, what do you think about Nibrana bracelets or the power of stones? Do you believe that certain stones have certain healing or other qualities? Maybe you had a story to tell us about how wearing stones helped you? We would love to hear back from you! Also, don’t forget about 20% discount on Nibrana.com with coupon code: richgirls
Happy Holidays, Rich Girls!

11 Christmas Party Hairstyle Ideas And Tutorials
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
Holiday season is officially here with all the necessary decorations, exciting preparations and gift hunting. And while Santa Claus is working on my extended wish list this year, I started to gather ideas on how to make myself look special during this festive time.
One of the hardest parts of the Christmas outfit is actually the hair. You want it to look outstanding, that’s why before you go to your hairdresser, it is always better to have a proper idea in mind. I always come prepared and send pictures with the look that I want to achieve to my stylist in advance. This saves a lot of time, energy and nerves, especially before important events.
So, here is my list of the coolest 2011 hairstyle ideas for Christmas and New Years parties. I have also added video tutorials of these hairdos, which I found on YouTube, just in case you want to try and do it yourself. And if after browsing all these hairstyles you will still feel like it’s not enough, check out my list of other 10 hairdos here.
1 – Elegant Updo Hairstyle For Medium or Long Hair by lilithedarkmoon
This hairstyle is very elegant and feminine. This hairdo will be perfect for your family get together or even the upscale white tie Charity event.
2 – French Fishtail Braid Hairstyles For Medium or Long Hair by lilithedarkmoon
Braided hairstyles are still one of my favorite. You can never go wrong with such hairdo. You can wear it like a french fishtail braid or can gather all your hair in a neat updo. Either way this look is very feminine and stylish. The only important thing to remember is that the braid should be done very neatly and professionally. I won’t trust myself to make such hairstyle on my own.
3 – Dutch Crown Braid Hairstyle For Medium or Long Hair by lilithedarkmoon
This is the other example of braided hairdo which will be ideal for any party. With this hairstyle you definitely won’t be bothered with your hair being all over the place.
4 – Easy Party Updo For Medium or Long Layered Hair by lilithedarkmoon
This hairstyle is classy and elegant and although it looks like you’ve spent a lot of time on it, in reality is a very easy and fast option.
5 – Celebrity Side Bun Hairstyle by lilithedarkmoon
I love this side bun hairstyle. A lot of different celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson to name a few have chosen this particular hairdo for various red carpet events and I can see why.
6 – Greek Goddess Party Hairstyle by lilithedarkmoon
If you want to add a little bit of edge to your classical bun hairstyle, I think you can use the idea shown in the following tutorial.
7 – Funky Hairstyle With Steps For Short Hair by HairGirl247
Although I personally have long hair and that is why all previous hairstyle ideas were ideal for long or medium hair, I also have a lot of friends, who have short hair. So, I decided to add a couple ideas for girls with short hair. Actually, it was very hard to find something interesting.
I loved this edgy hairstyle for short hair. It will be perfect for New Years party in a club or any celebration with your friends.
8 – Curly Flirty Hairstyle For Short Hair by HairGirl247
This is very romantic and flirty hairdo for short hair. I love the curls!
9 – Elegant Hair Bow Hairstyle by CinthiaTruong
I absolutely love this bow hairstyle, maybe because it reminds me of the bows we put on presents. How sweet and cute! And I want presents, lots of them
10 – Kim Kardashian Inspired Boho-Chic Ribbon Braids by LuxyHair
This Kim Kardashian inspired ribbon braids hairdo is one more reminder of Christmas gifts and decorations.
11 – Funky, Edgy Party Hairstyle by LuxyHair
And if you are so over sweet and elegant hairstyles, here is a funky one. You will look like a rock star at any Christmas or New Years party you choose to attend. I think that this hairstyle will look amazing with sequined dress or even leather one.
So, girls, these are some Christmas 2011 hairstyle ideas that I could find online. Of course you need to adjust your hairdo to your whole outfit, but no one knows where you need to start. You can start with your hairstyle and choose the appropriate dress, shoes and other accessories for this particular hairdo or the other way around. Me main idea is to look your best!
What do you think, girls? Is there any hairstyle which you like? Maybe you have other cool ideas? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!
Happy Holiday Season, Rich Girls!

Thanksgiving Dinner Table Centerpiece Ideas
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog, Rich Photos
In Latvia (where I am from) we don’t have tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving, so all my information about this holiday is based mainly on the movies and TV-series. I love the idea of the whole family get-together with special pies and turkey, counting of blessings and the traditional Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which will walk the streets of New York City for the 85th time this year.
This is basically all my knowledge about Thanksgiving, but what I really love about it, apart from the stuff I mentioned above, is the table decoration. I love how the house is decorated with Autumn flowers and especially the Thanksgiving dinner table.
As I have mentioned before, I learned about Thanksgiving mainly from the movies, so my greatest inspiration for the holiday table setting were festive episodes on Gossip Girl.
The table setting I loved the most was in the Episode 11 of Season 3. I tried to make a still of this episode, just to show you how it looked in case you missed it or not watching these series. But of course it is not of a very high quality, sorry about that, girls.
The other episode which showed awesome Thanksgiving table setting was the Episode 10 of the Season 4.
I just can’t wait for the next episode of Gossip Girl, I wonder if it will be dedicated to Thanksgiving as well.
So, inspired by the amazing table setting examples, I decided that although I don’t know how to cook traditional Thanksgiving dinner or have my family around here in Spain, at least what I can do is to decorate my house with festive flowers, drink some wine and count my blessings.
I searched online a little and found a lot of useful ideas on how to make amazing centerpieces yourself. For example, look at these adorable flower arrangements, which I found on Martha Stewart site:
Here is how you can make this flower arrangement yourself.
Here is how you can make this Gilded Pear Basket yourself.
But of course, who am I kidding. There is no way in a million years that I am going to make something like that myself. I’ll just go and order it online or at the nearest florist boutique. Here you can see just a few of my most favorite centerpieces that I am considering of buying. What do you think?
The FTD® Bright Autumn Centerpiece
The FTD® Fall Harvest Cornucopia by Better Homes and Gardens®
The FTD® Bountiful Flower Bouquet
Harvest Blessings Autumn Centerpiece
Jane Seymour Silk Botanicals Dahlia-Rose Centerpiece
So, what do you think, rich girls? Are you going to decorate your house for Thanksgiving this year? Let me know in the comments below.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween Makeup Ideas And Tutorials
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog, Rich Photos
The last couple of days I am in “get ready for Halloween party” mode. Just yesterday I was browsing through Youtube Halloween makeup tutorials and found some interesting stuff there. I don’t know how serious you are about Halloween, but in case you are serious, you should know that party makeup is as important as your Halloween costume! And makeup is also the most exciting part of the Halloween, because you can go absolutely crazy with it! You can transform yourself completely with the help of makeup and even your parents will have troubles recognizing you. Just for one night you can be anyone you want.
Well, excited as I am about total transformation, I am still not sure about wounds and blood on my face as well as zombi makeup. Least of all I want to scare people to death with my appearance. Let’s leave it to guys
So, I have collected and I want to share with you 7 Halloween makeup video tutorials, to inspire you to try something different, ignite your imagination and do something crazy! Also, I don’t know about you, rich girls, but I am terrible with makeup, I can’t even draw a straight black line on my eye! So, I am not even dreaming of doing something so creative and professionally looking myself. If you are a “dummy” like me, one of the options is to hire a professional makeup artist or to ask your more advanced friends or even your mother to help you out.
1 – Chinese Fashion Inspired Look by KlairedelysArt
The reason I liked this look is because it is very feminine with huge fake eyelashes and lots of sparkle. Maybe it is not too much of a Halloween-ish look, but it will definitely look great to portrait some kind of fairytale character. Here is the makeup tutorial for this look:
2 – Gothic Lolita Doll Look by MichellePhan
Now this makeup I love! It is definitely cool for Halloween! It is cute and creepy at the same time and I bet that nobody would ever recognize you with this makeup on. Worth to try this one! Here is the makeup tutorial:
3 – Lady Gaga Inspired Halloween Makeup by HowdiniGuru
This look is perfect for Halloween as well as for New Years celebration or any masquerade ball or event. I think this makeup makes the girl look sexy and mysterious. Here is the makeup tutorial:
4 – Jessica Rabbit Look by MissJessicaHarlow
This Jessica Rabbit makeup is the easiest one of all, I feel like even I can do this myself All I need to pull this look off is to find a red wig. Very sexy look!
5 – Spider Queen Black Widow Halloween Makeup by MissChievous
This is definitely a perfect makeup for Halloween. I just hope that you are not afraid of the spiders on your face.
6 – Black Swan Makeup by MichellePhan
I have found a lot of makeup tutorials of Black Swan look, but I liked this one the most. Love the eyes!
7 – Mystique from X-Men Makeup by dope2111
And finally the most dramatic, but very exciting look. If you can actually appear at a party as Mystique, people will definitely remember you, if they will recognize you.
These are just a few Halloween makeup ideas and tutorials and I hope it inspired you to try something interesting for the party this year. Let me know what do you think about Halloween makeup. What was the craziest you have ever done for Halloween in terms of makeup so far?

Awesome Pumpkin Carving Ideas
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
Halloween is only one week away and I hope you have your Halloween costumes ready and your pumpkins carved. I have never ever carved a pumpkin in my life before, so maybe I should give it a shot this year. As always I was surfing the net for some inspirational pumpkin carving patterns and ideas and have found some really awesome ones, which I want to share with you, rich girls.
Well, I am not sure if anyone of you can actually carve something like this, I definitely can’t. But just looking at these pictures makes me unleash my creative spirit (not sure if I have one in the first place ) and start carving something right now. So, anyway, here are the most incredible (in my opinion) carved pumpkins. Please do let me know which one of those is your favorite.
So, above are images of amazing pumpkin carving patterns, but have a look what else have I found! The guy who carves pumpkins for a living – The Pumpkin Geek. His carvings of different celebrities and movie characters just leave me speechless. This pumpkin geek guy has a magnificent talent! I’ve added just a couple of his pumpkins, but you should definitely check out other designs on his website.
“The Pumpkin Geek” Pumpkin Carvings
I love this carving of Steve Jobs, I think it is amazing.
So, rich girls, what do you think about these pumpkin carving patterns? Which one do you like the most? What will your pumpkin look like this Halloween? Please do share your opinion in the comments below.
