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?

Chic and Glam jewellery

To me, jewellery is the best way to accessorize any outfit, it can add an instant oomph to spark things up, which is why jewellery is my weakness. I can't stop buying them...I will be doing several posts on my jewellery collection as I have a lot....from costume jewellery, to fine jewellery, to vintage jewellery.

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.
