The Girl with a Oroton Pearl Earring

14 Comments

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 🙂

Contemplating Sweet Contemplation Accessories

I received some handmade gifts a while ago, one of which was a gorgeous pearl accessory set consisting of a choker and a pair of earrings. They were gorgeous and so well turned out – and it was  the first time I’d known of Sweet Contemplation Accessories.

Sweet Contemplation Accessories is a new handmade jewelry line operating out of Australia and I’m proud to say, owned by fellow blogger and friend Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous. I’ve known Tine for a while now since our pre-beauty blog days (we were known merely as bloggers then and I went for her wedding! 😀 ) and I never once guessed at her talent. To say I was gobsmacked is an understatement.

You won’t find the pearl set she made me on her site though – its a Sweet Contemplations Accessories Exclusive 😉 but you can find a whole host of other pretty accessories there. Her style is pretty, feminine and whimsical and above all, unique.

Update: Dior Cristal Boreal Pendant for Christmas 2009

17 Comments

With the interest generated in the Dior Cristal Boreal pendant for Dior’s Christmas 2009 offering, I’ve managed to snag a picture of the actual product from a friend – thanks babe! 😀

The swarovski crystal studded pendant looks quite large and comes housed in a lux looking Dior box so it looks more like a piece of jewelry rather than a makeup item. Inside is lipgloss you can use for touch ups on the go.

I’m told that this and Dior’s Christmas 2009 collection will go on sale at all Dior counters from November 2009 but I’ll confirm when I do see them.

The Dior Cristal Boreal pendant is RM220 and is limited edition. So I guess you know what you have to do if you want it! 🙂

More pictures of the collection will come as and when I have it.

Stay beautiful

handmade gifts

When I received a bagful of gifts from 2 very dear friends recently,  I was gobsmacked. Not only was it brimming with all sorts of cosmetics goodies, it contained some items personally handmade by them.

2 very talented friends, might I add! One knitted me a gorgeous red Baktus scarf which is a triangular scarf I can tie around my neck, and an adorable cream drawstring pouch. All of pure wool ahh… they are so soft…!! The scarf is going to come in so handy soon. Too warm for Malaysian weather of course but there’s always travels! 😉
