First off: vintage love
Above are a few of my vintage pieces. First off, gold-tone flower choker (scored from a sale at Select 18 in Hong Kong), it is a gorgeous piece and you can really feel the weight of the piece, unfortunately, I have not had a chance to wear this amazing piece as it is too loose for my neck; however, I like it pull it out of the pouch to look at it once in a while. Then a pair of silver flower earrings that I took from my grandma last Christmas when I visited her, we spent a whole night going through her jewellery that she bought when she was young (some pieces are amazing, I've been eyeing a vintage Dior brooch...but she hasn't parted with it yet...so I shall wait). Unfortunately, I still haven't had the chance to wear these earrings either, but these would look super cute with a nice summer dress or a nice day by the beach. The third piece, is a vintage cameo ring, I love it because it's a statement piece and the cameo work is impeccable. The crystals surrounding the cameo just gives it the va-va-voom. This piece adds an instant glam to any outfit. (purchased from a vintage jewellery store on Queen St. W, Toronto). Then, the tennis bracelet also from my grandma, the 3 red stones in the middle gives it a little subtle pop of colour and the marcasites throughout the bracelet just gives the whole bracelet an antique look. I have actually forgotten about this bracelet until it fell out of the pouch where I stored the flower choker. Last but not least, my absolute favourite piece, the gold chain with 3 marble-like stones (which I also acquired from a sale at Select 18 in Hong Kong).
These pieces above are the pieces that I wear the most often (as well as my Pandora charm bracelet which is not included in this pic). On the top left corner, we have a gold-tone cuff with a black stone in the middle (acquired from H&M sale), I love this piece to death, I always find myself going to this cuff. Leaning against it, is a Christmas ornament that I bought with my mom while shopping for Christmas tree ornaments at the Bay last year, I use it as a pendant. I sometimes wear it on a gold-tone chain, and sometimes on the pearl necklace photographed above. Then we have my vintage cameo ring, as mentioned above. The bow earrings are new acquisitions from Betsey Johnson, they are simply too cute to pass up. Plus, I am currently obsessing over everything bow. As for the pearl necklace, it was a hand-me-down from my mom. I absolutely adore this piece, there are so many different ways of wearing it. I wear it almost everyday, just in several different ways, from adding a pendant, to wearing it as a multistrand necklace, wear it long, or tying a knot in it, or wear it short. I will do a post later on all the different ways of wearing this magnificent pearl necklace.
That is all for now, and once again, I apologize for the delayed update.
♥Stay Chic. Stay Glam. ♥
