Do you have necklaces or jewellery that get you compliments

March 6, 2011 Paris B 17 Comments

Ladies, let me introduce you to Summer Breeze – the necklace that gets me appreciative looks and compliments everywhere I go. Its not just me. My sister and I have the same necklace and we live in different countries and we BOTH get compliments on it, every time! (In fact, sis bought hers first and then I followed suit because it was just too pretty not to have :P)

Perhaps its the unique ribbon tie feature that allows me to wear this as short or as long as I’d like.

Perhaps its the pretty vibrantly coloured crystal glass beads that sparkle in an elegant eye-catching sort of way.

Chinoiserie for Chinese New Year : Chinese Mystic Knot and Jade pendant

January 30, 2011 Paris B 35 Comments

In the lead up to the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year, its not uncommon to see Chinoiserie popping up everywhere. I contemplated pouring myself into a cheong sam this year, but decided not to because I knew it’d only ever see the light of day once – on the 1st day of the New Year and thereafter it’d languish at the back of the closet as a “Why on earth did I buy that?” purchase.

Not wanting to be left out of the Chinoiserie race, I picked up instead a necklace with a Chinese mystic knot motif! That’s very Chinese!

I actually spotted this in the Isetan sale newsletter and I somehow identified with it so I HAD to have it. Actually went to join in the madness of an Isetan sale day just to make sure it wasn’t sold out 😛 I don’t do that very often. Its a very simple pendant comprising a metal mystic knot and a sphere of pale jade.

New Love: Large Hoop Earrings

I’ve always liked the look of large hoop earrings, but I used to think they accentuated the roundness of my face. Well, they do, but I’ve reached the stage where I’m past caring 😀

So I now wear large hoop earrings and I like how classic they look. A gold pair of hoop earrings never go out of style 😀

The Girl with a Oroton Pearl Earring

I met chat buddy LeGeeque when she was in town last month – finally! After chatting online and offline for … I don’t know… years? We finally met in person and it was fun! She also passed me some stuff I’d asked her to get from Australia, and amongst the items in the bag was a little Oroton bag.

“What’s that?” I asked. “Do I owe you money for something I don’t know about?”

Because when I got home, I saw the Oroton bag contained a pair of pretty pearl earrings!

Problem was, neither of us remembered when it was from, if I’d paid her or why it was purchased. Awful! 😛

So after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, we agreed that it was there, and it was mine and we must have settled the accounts one way or another; and I went “Whee!” because I love pearl earrings 🙂
