Ten things to drool over in Rio:

1. Living 3 minutes away from one of the world's most beautiful beaches (Copacabana and Ipanema)
2. Living 2 minutes away from "Rio Design" shopping center and "Shopping Leblon"
3. Fresh goiaba and maracuja to start my days (the sexier way of saying guava and passion fruit) :P
4. Amazonian beach vendors selling rare, authentic jewelry straight from their motherland for peanut prices.
5. Ipanema's Sunday flea markets (a meandering maze to OD on shopping)
6. Getting properly buzzed on caipirinhas on a nightly basis
7. Scary movie nights with my boyfriend
8. Cherryberry (think a self-serve Pinkberry buffet)
9. Koni Store sushi (hot Philadelphia rolls !!!)
10. Freshly exotic combined with girly dresses at Farm (sold only in Brazil)...they need to expand to the US, pretty please.

I think I've just transcended to "bauble heaven."After ogling about with these images and completely avoiding my work this morning, I couldn't help but to take a moment and share my current eye-candy joy from MANIAMANIA. Plus, throw in the ever-so-gorgeous Bambi in the mix, and you pretty much got a lovely fashion hit. What I'd give to rock one of their astounding rings and possibly a cuff as well.

Um, I'll take them all please.
