Last week was jewelry designer Marijoli's Christmas party in Tokyo. I just wanted to share with you some pictures of her line which I love (my fav is the Buma ring). Marielle Byworth, the brain and designer behind the brand has been created quite a buzz in Japan. She's now on her way to do the same in Europe and the US. There's a new collection in the work. Can't wait!

Yes, I absolutely tried to steal this bracelet, as we say in French: "prise la main dans le sac" (caught with your hand in the bag)

If like me you're obsessed with saving everything and anything, from the Blue Iguana in the Cayman Islands to the Nubian Dragon Tree of Somalia, and even the San Acitos Dirt Shrew (Weeds, Season 3 anyone?), and you happen to be in Tokyo this upcoming Thursday you might want to swing by the Graham London - Aqua Love charity gala.  The Anglo-Swiss watch company has teamed up with the WWF's Shiharo Coral Reef Conservation Center in Okinawa to help protect the coral reef and promote responsible diving off the island of Ishigaki.  For the occasion Graham has created a unique watch, the "Chronofighter Oversize Diver Blue Seal" that will be raffled off that night.  100% of the proceeds will go to WWF.

Yes, this 1,000,000 yen watch will sure look good on my delicate wrist when I win that raffle.








And why should you care about saving the coral?  Because otherwise the world will come to an end!  Just kidding, but it' won't be pretty. To make it simple: The coral forms an essential habitat for a lot of species and provide places for breeding, feeding, and hiding from predators.  When coral is destroyed, the species that it shelters also disappear. That would mean no more perch, golden king crab, shrimp, sea stars, sponges, or anemones. Right now corals are also being tested to produce antibiotics, painkillers and medications for cancer, AIDS, asthma, and heart disease*.  So not to sound corny or anything, but by saving corals you might just be saving yourself!!
