keepsakes and christmas time

 

  

From top: This pretty pocket watch necklace goes with anything and everything. Necklaces like this always make me feel special and slightly... whimsical. I love the whole 'Alice in Wonderland' feel. I've been wearing these earrings all the time lately. They are very special because not only are the dried flowers inside the enamel real, but Izzy has the same ones. We bought two sets earlier in the year in alternative to getting BFF necklaces ♥ The last necklace has a feminine but tribal feel to it and goes very well with white lace dresses.  

 

Lately, I've been getting more and more into the Christmassy mood. I've been listening to the jolly carols by Judy Garland, Doris Day and Frank Sinatra, making rum balls and wrapping gifts for under the tree. I'm just so excited about it! Only 10 days to go ♥
How are your Christmas preparations coming along?

Pearls in China

I haven't been too busy with homework or school dramas lately, so i figure, why not take advantage of it and use up my free time blogging! I dug up a few of my favorite jewellery pieces, consisting of pink faux pearls, a blue beaded bracelet, a diamonte ring, a locket and a butterfly ring. All of these peices weren't exactly that expensive, but all hold a special meaning to me. I can wear that silver ring with anything, those pearls and butterfly ring with most of my pink dresses or tops, the blue bracelet as an added extra to de-boring-ify (is that a word?) a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and the simple flower locket to jazz up a plain white singlet.

I don't buy much jewellery, in fact, 90% of all the pieces here, are things that have been given to me. The pearls from Mum along with the butterfly ring, the diamonte ring is from my sister, and the locket from my other sister and I bought the blue bracelet from the markets for $3.

Bored? Rummage through your old jewellery boxes and make an effort to wear more jewellery with your outfits. It's amazing what you can find and how it can transform an outfit!
Don't have enough? Hit the markets! So much to choose from and so little money needed!

p.s: I borrowed those cups form my Mum's sacred China Cabinet, lucky she doesn't have blogger! Anyway, I think the jewellry looks quite lovely in those cups, I shall keep them until she realises they are gone...
