Weekend at Home

Dead boyfriend's birthday so I went home for the weekend to visit him at the cemetery. The 6 hour bus ride killed my butt. :[

Happy One Month in the Island!

Can't believe it's been a month of island living. And I'm still glued in front of my laptop instead of having my ass getting some tan under the sun!

#iMourn

Goodbye, Mr. Steve Jobs. Thanks for all the iThings and for your psychedelic brilliance. I weep for humanity's loss.

Strawberry Cream Oreos

A Short History of Everything by Bill Bryson audiobook and strawberry cream Oreos just go together.

Pattern On Pattern

Feeling a bit girly today.

No, I'm Not A Lezzer!

Gaaah. I get mistaken for a lezzer all the time. I hate it.

I'm So Military

Been taking the photos while I smoke just before I go to work. Lol. Just to see if the outfit doesn't look too ridiculous. :P

Island Girl

So, I moved to this island 6 hours away from home. And got lots of idle time. And got no full-body mirror in the house so I've been taking outfit photos once again. Been awhile!

Initial Special!

For some reason, initial necklaces are always deemed special. They've been around for a long time. The practice of wearing an initial necklace hasn't changed; what has changed is the style one's made and how it's worn.Usually, whatever's on the centerpiece of the initial jewelry tells you what the person holds dear and what the jewelry stands for the individual. Hence, you can tell a lot from a person wearing a personalized or customized necklace.

Special occasions call for special gifts. Deciding what to give to special people in your life is kind of hard, really. An initial necklace is a unique way to show someone your appreciation of them. It’s not ordinary and the most important thing is it’s personalized.

There are a lot of online shops selling these customizable items but I found Molly Brown to be one of the best. Aside from being a finalist to the UK Jewellery Awards this year, Vogue calls it “Tiffany for girls”. The Molly Brown Collection features simple yet sophisticated designer jewellery made especially for girls. The Molly Brown line is made using precious metals, clear and colourful gemstones, and lustrous pearls, all of quality materials.

Molly Brown’s Sterling Silver Alphabet Initial Necklaces are the perfect personal gift for any occasion. Each initial pendant made of solid sterling silver comes with a round link chain in two different adjustable lengths, 14-16”, or 16-18”. The longer chain makes the necklace a perfect gift for teenagers and adults as well. You can individually purchase the initial necklace or combine it with other charms of your choice. By the way, each necklace chain is tagged with the Molly Brown logo.

When you order you initial necklace or any Molly Brown item for that matter, the jewellery comes in a soft silk pouch in beautiful Molly Brown jewellery boxes. You can also choose to have it additionally gift-wrapped: the flat-packed option that’s free of charge and comes with a luxurious Molly Brown gift bag, tissue paper, ribbons, and a gift card for you to wrap your purchase, or you can pay for a minimal fee for an expert gift-wrapping including a hand-written gift card with your message. You can even opt to have it directly delivered to the gift recipient.

"The Molly Brown Collections are simple but also sophisticated, they are designed to be loved and worn forever."

Pearls/Pearl Bracelets: Trending!

Pearl jewellery has always been this safe, simple yet elegant accessory piece. Lately though, it has been gaining popularity among fashionistas with the unconventional and colored pearl jewellery pieces springing out.

And when I say springing out, these lovely accessories are timeless Spring pieces and they're hitting it big this Spring 2011. They simply scream elegance, class and personal statement.

A simple white pearl necklace can be a fashion statement on a clear spring day. It adds that extra daintiness to your cute baby-doll dress. A long pearl necklace can add that extra boho look to your maxi dress.

If you're into fun colors on the other hand, there are varieties of pearl bracelet available in different colors and shapes accented with metal endings and clasps. You can even mix and match them with other pearl bracelets for that cool, colorful spring/summer look. You can wear them with your girly spring outfits, punk summer outfits or your sailor-themed outfits.

Pearl jewelery, wherever you go, can manage to make whatever outfit classy, refined, and elegant. They're perfect for evening parties, when going to fancy restaurants, and during evenings out of town. They can even be worn to work without appearing over-accessorized. You can wear the colorful ones on an average day, when you go to the beach or to the park, in the mall or on casual dates. They add that special playfulness to one's personality so wherever you go, you carry that Spring cheerfulness with you.

That's why I was happy to have stumbled upon Stephen Einhorn's wide collection of pearl jewellery. I love them! His collection features a wide selection of freshwater pearls in different colors and awesome designs where you can choose to customize your bracelets and necklaces by changing the pearl color and the metal used for the jewellery.

Also, I love his design philosophy: "My design signature is elegant simplicity. I am interested in designs that are totally wearable, including my more flamboyant bespoke pieces. I have worked to create a style that is instantly recognisable and that appeals to someone who appreciates design, style and quality.”

Awesome. Springtastic!
