Hello, the other night Emma Chamberlain wore a Cartier tiara to the MET Gala. Do you happen to know anything about the tiara she wore? It very much reminds me of the Cartier tiara that was once owned by Imelda Marcos

Yes, I have a post about it here. The tiara was made by Cartier in 1911 using diamond set in platinum. It's not the same as the one that was owned by Imelda Marcos but they are both by Cartier in the 'garland' style of the early 1900s. This tiara now belongs to the Cartier Collection and is often loaned out for exhibitions or photoshoots.

I don't know who the woman on the left is or when the photo was taken but on the right is Princess Sirivannavari of Thailand for Harper’s Bazaar Thailand in December 2019.

@royal-hair sent me this video from Vogue about Emma Chamberlain getting ready for the Met Gala. The part with the jewelry starts at about 8:15.

I'm sorry to be mean but I just absolutely hate the way she wore this. She gets the amazing opportunity to wear a honest to goodness Cartier tiara and it's tilted back so far that I wasn't even sure she was wearing one when I first saw her. I know tiara hair is not something most people ever have to think about but Tommy Dorfman and Léna Mahfouf who also wore tiaras at the Met Gala got it right so it can be done.

Ugh, again I'm sorry to be mean but the more I look at it the more I'm like

I would love to see more about Marti doing her side job :D

She tends to go about it with a certain amount of Talon extra-ness, but that’s largely to get her point across.

Museum Curator: So… how safe would you say our exhibition is?

Marti: *seated on a 15th Century Tuscan Noble’s chair while wearing 14.8 Million Dollars worth of Vintage Bulgari jewelry and watches as well as a 1917 Cartier diamond wreath tiara* Well… I’d say there’s about… four… major gaps in your security.

A lot of her clients are like… really high-status, and for some it’s almost a game where they brag to each other about their security systems like “Oh it took Martina Canche-Lacroix six whole minutes to crack it, but I’m sure your security system is just as good.” 

Normally Sombra would be really “Ugh” about Marti working for these ridiculously rich and powerful people, but Marti finds her ways to make it up to her… usually in the form of several gigabytes of priceless blackmail material.

Omg I was literally just on the cartier and van cleef sites (retail therapy because...uni is gross) and now u want to talk about DIAMONDSSSSSSSSS I’m screeching I love jewelry luxury let’s talk about it more omg that ring design is so beautiful. How many carats do u think it’d be? Do u think he’d consult his mom who probably knows a lot about fashion industry and luxury? OMG what about the wedding dress? Because I think it’s mainly only western culture that men don’t see the dress until the wedding, but in many others, the men are pretty involved with choosing it.

listen, LISTEN,,,, i am HEREEEEE if you wanna talk luxury jewellery uGH. is there any spefific pieces you come back to, when you window shop???? one vain dream (goal?) i’ve always had is to make enough money from writing to one day be able to buy a LOVE Cartier bracelet, lmao. Look, we all gotta have dreams to keep us going, and this is mine and I won’t apologise for it (even though!!! EVEN THOUGH !!!! CAPITALISM IS A SCAM, ugh i hate that capitalism is a thing and yet i am such a slave to it LMAO).

adding wedding spefific stuff under a cut LOL.

I know celebrities tend to go with like, super obnoxious carat sizes - and why the hell not LOL - and Bakugou wouldn’t be immune, surely? At the same time you gotta wear that monster on your hand for like, the rest of your life lmao, so maybe a max of 3 carats? That’s pretty big. If you’re adding little pave pieces around the side then that’s gonna add... I kinda think it’d be more like, 2 carats? Because Bakugou would also have to take into account that a florist reader is working with their hands.... hmmm hmmm, there’s MANY factors here.

He’d def. know what to look for thanks to his parents’ roles in the fashion industry, but I like the idea that the ring is solely him (and the jeweller he goes with, LOL). But the dress and his suit would definately be where his folks step in — I mean, if Reader wanted help with the dress, anyways, LOOOOL. That kind of eye would be helpful in knowing what would work for you and your body shape, though... what kind of cuts would be the most ✨flattering✨. Even the tone of white, LMAO.

Bangkok, post shopping

A funny thing happened. I was feeling kind of bad about myself today. I felt bloated and I hated my outfit (funny how even when I'm traveling I can have some of the same insecurities from home. My soul is the same no matter what sky I'm under). I was walking around Bangkok in search of a shrine to go visit when I stumbled across a huge, high end mall. I was hot and decided to go in to cool off from the late morning sun. Once inside I got sucked in and browsed familiar brands and ogled over jewelry from Cartier. I moved into the department store and walked over to the make up section. "Ugh. My eye brows. Maybe I should have put on make up today. I feel so shitty in comparison to how these other people look," I thought while running my fingers over brow pencils and brow gels. A Thai sales lady offered to do my brows to show me the product. Then she put on some foundation and lipstick on me. Highlighter over my cheek bones. I purchased the foundation and the lip stick. Even though I remembered at home I had plenty of foundation. And here while traveling I had make up to play with even though I've hardly put any on while I've been abroad. With the little bag in hand I still felt empty and shitty. I hated my outfit. I had bought a dress for travel and no matter what shoes I wear with it, I just don't like wearing the dress. Even though I think material items are silly, I do love self expression and feeling good in my skin. And this dress does not make me feel good. Uniqlo. Top shop. Different dresses to put on. I found a dress that looked good with my shoes but I felt so bloated in it. And then I remembered that the only person who can make me feel better is me. I can't buy things to fill the void in my heart. If I feel bloated, change my diet. If I feel sad, feel that feeling, don't try to buy things to make it better or go away. I took the dress off and put on the one I was wearing and walked out. I decided to return the make up. It took a while to figure out how to return it. And the ladies at the make up counter were very confused as why I would want to do such a thing. I didn't know if they would understand if I explained that I couldn't make myself happy with make up or things, but only through spiritual practice and other tools. So I lied and said, "I love it but my husband is unhappy that I bought things without talking to him." They understood that very well. Without the bag in hand and with now a cancelation receipt, I felt better. I headed to the shrine where I meditated in the hot sun and said my little prayers, "...please take away my difficulties that victory over then may bear witness to those I would help... your will over mine..." I have these difficulties. Insecurities. Impulses. Obsession. Self centeredness. Ego. But I'm glad I returned the items. As I walked home I found an adorable children's bicycle race and watched the kids race around the track as their parents cheered. I got a smoothie. I decided it will be my last one. Walked home in the heat. And when I got to my room I took off the dress and took a nap. Deciding that tomorrow is a new day and maybe I'll still have insecurities but I can make changes or have serenity to accept myself as I am.
