Just give me a ring

Makes me happy looking at these babies every day. I bought this egg crate from Anthropologie a while ago before I moved. I wanted to put all my favourite rings in it...so that's what I did as soon as I settled down at my new house!

Rings from top to bottom, left to right:

eBay S ring, H&M Bow ring, Alexander McQueen skull ring, H&M pink filigree ring, H&M bug ring, eBay angels wings ring, eBay crown ring, eBay snake ring, vintage Serpent ring bought from Paris vintage market

I love stacking the eBay rings together, especially since one of them is too big for my tiny fingers. And yes, I LOVE statement rings (even though my DBF hates them...since he can't hold my hand properly). I must say, my top 3 favourite ones are definitely the H&M Bow ring (I'm bow-obsessed), Alexander McQueen skull ring (I'm also skull-obsessed and Alexander McQueen obsessed in case you haven't noticed), and of course, the vintage Serpent ring (Paris, vintage market, need I say more?

Crunch time

First of all, Happy Easter to everyone!

As this time of the year is crunch time for my fellow university students and I...we are all running on a few hours of sleep every night and tons and tons of caffeine and sugar (yes gummy bears and chocolate truffles for me), which is why I look so dead and can barely keep my eyes open - which can be seen in the following pictures. However, I cannot wait till exams are over. I'm very excited for the summer and have tons of plans!

Yesterday, I had one of my final exams. After a long day and night of studying, I made sure that I dressed comfortably to attend my exam - long tee and leggings. Of course, that is not an excuse to look sloppy! Therefore, I wore my new striped blazer from Zara which is my current obsession (I've been wearing it almost everyday!).




My dbf knows me as someone who absolutely adores leggings, and I do, because they are so comfortable. I remember, once, when we went shopping with his friends, one of his friend wanted to buy a grey knitted dress, and she barely ever wears dresses. Everyone asked her why she was buying that, and she said that she could wear it with leggings. My dbf's reaction was "Oh, then you'll be like Laura!". It's funny how he thinks that it's a "me" thing to wear leggings.
I think it is because he doesn't understand how comfortable they are.



Grey striped Long tee - Bossini, Talula leggings (gotta love black leggings! They make your legs look skinnier and elongate them at the same time!) Zara blazer, scarf (stolen from mom's closet! oops! I mean...borrowed!)


Today was such a beautiful day, I wish I could spend the day outside. Oh how I miss and long for the days for patio meals and afternoon tea. No....today was spent...entirely in my room - essay writing. My mom came into my room a huge amount of times, trying to get me out of my room to go out with her to enjoy the beautiful day, she even offered to treat me to getting our nails done, but no....I did not cave in...so finally, when dinner time came, I needed a break, so my mom and I headed to Rodney's at downtown Toronto for dinner.

I always enjoy the oyster bar at Rodney's, however, since my DBF doesn't like oysters (yes I know, he's missing out BIG time!), I can only go with my parents. Not only do I love the oysters there, but their clams are absolutely delicious as well as their clam chowder. Yum! The night was finished off with the perfectly scrumptious Belgian chocolate mousse - I can't wait to go back again.

My dinner outfit:


This headband was purchased from The Bay at Yorkdale last week. I swear, the products at The Bay is getting better and better. I have been looking at this headband for a few weeks, not only is it girly and fun, it is also SUCH a statement piece. I love everything about it, from the peachy colour to the oversized bow - it practically screams my name! So yes...when I went shopping with my mom and DBF last week....DBF purchased this headband for me which he calls - the present - literally.

Today when he came home before my mom and I headed out, he saw that I was wearing the headband. He patted my head and said "hehehehehe the present! you're a present!" - yes silly I know.

This shirt-dress is really a beach cover-up purchased from the bathing suit store at Bayview Village. I bought it a few weeks ago for my family cruise trip in May. I envision myself wearing this cover-up with stacks of bangles on my arms, a head scarf, sunnies and of course - espadrilles! Oooh I can't wait!

The deep-V neckline is embellished wish crystals and embroideries which just add that instant oomph and glam to the whole coverup. The floral prints of it makes it so summer-y and a little plus is that there are cute little gemstones on some flower petals throughout the piece - talk about adding that little bling!

And of course, once again, I opted for my Zara blazer to pull my outfit together! I don't know if you guys noticed, but once of my fave things about this blazer is the two grey patches on the elbows! Hehe, don't ask me why, but they just make me love the blazer even more!

Anyway, I'm off to watch a movie with my mom to relax for a bit...then it's back to essaying for me!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

Bow-mania!

As hectic as my trip back to Hong Kong was, I managed to block out one full day for shopping and shopping only. Get ready for A LOT of pictures! And yes, as the title indicates, I am experiencing bow-mania!

I fell in love at first sight with this over sized bow ring!

A fluffy coin purse that I received as a Christmas gift from one of my aunts. This picture does not capture its true colour, it's sort of a peachy colour. As well as its girliness and fluffiness, I LOVE the gold hardware on this coin purse, I think this coin purse is literally 'me' in a nutshell.

This 2-strand bracelet from local HK jeweller- Chow Tai Fook is a gift from a very good friend of mine, Conrad. I wore it everyday for 2 weeks straight after receiving it! And of course, I still wear it quite often, but only on days when I'm not in a rush to leave the house.


This earring stand is so pretty and inexpensive, I just fell in love with all the details and price and decided to buy it right away. However, once agian, this picture does not capture the true colour of this earring stand, it is actually more of a magenta colour.

My new Ray-Ban aviators =) I've been longing for them for SUCH a long time that I finally bought them when I was in Hong Kong.

You can only imagine how excited I was when I saw this Faux pearl bracelet with mini-faux pearls set in gold-tone bow. Classy with a girly twist - LOVE!

I have been dying to get my hands on the CC skye leather wrap bracelets, however, I can't seem to find them anywhere when I go shopping. Thus, I opted for these CC skye bracelet- inspired ones, I bought one in black and one in white because I couldn't choose between the two. And when the price is good, why not buy both instead of regretting it later?

This wood bead necklace is actually a Christmas gift from another one of my aunts, it is not really my style, but I will figure out something to incorporate it into my outfits.


These two bangles are, once again, Christmas gifts from another aunt of mine (yes I have A LOT of aunts - big family!). This aunt knows me so well, as you can tell from her purchases. The leopard print bangle is just so fun and great for casual days and the rhinestone bracelet just adds an instant glam to any outfit at night!

Anyone who knows me well will know that I am a big Audrey Hepburn fan; therefore, there was no reason for me not to buy this necklace! I love the simple design of this necklace and the antique look to it! The Marilyn Monroe one is actually a gift for one of my very good friends, Sammy, who I'll be having a dinner date with in a few days!

There was just no reason for me not to buy this necklace. From the gold-tone to the sparkly rhinestones to the dangling high heel and of course - the BOW, this necklace just simply has my name written all over it.

Who doesn't love the French and Paris? The envelope necklace was simply too beautiful to pass up for, from the intricate details on the envelope to the hanging love letter with 'Je t'aime' written on it - I simply love it. And of course, the second necklace with the multiple charms. Once again, the Eiffel Tower, an antique coin, a heart, pearls and a pink bow - what girl can say no?

And now, of course, on one hand I am a very girly girl; on the other hand, I have my edgier side too! These earphones were just too cool to pass up for, the rhinestones on them just adds that instant oomph! This is a must-wear necklace for parties!

And yes, my inner rocker unleashes. I do, however, love how the design of this necklace is actually very feminine, combined with the edginess of the skull - I feel like this necklace describes my personality and style completely.

Now...moving on to my new earrings! Bows! Bows! Bows! and Bows!






Yes, Bow-mania is the right word. And no, that word does not exist, but now it does.

I am currently having trouble trying to find a Valentine's day gift for my dbf, any suggestions?
