Lovers in Paris (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Hey everyone!  Today I want to share with you a brand new addition to my shop, these petite La Tour Eiffel earrings, created in spirit of St. Valentine's Day!  The design is inspired by one of my favorite old time Korean romance comedy - Lovers in Paris, starring Kim Jung-eun, Park Shin-yang, and the handsome Lee Dong-gun!  The drama starts with a young girl who studies film in Paris, after some odd encounters, falls in love with a man whom she works as house keeper for.  Like most Korean dramas, the story takes many twist and turns, lots of tears and heartbreaks, but at the end, the two lovers are united and story finishes with happy ending.

I love how dainty these earrings are!

and the sweet CZ detail on the bottoms of the towers (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Please visit my shop to find out more details of this item here!

May your Valentine's day be as sweet as jams!  and hope you liked my sharing today!

Be Mine Necklace (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Hi Everyone, hope your week is going great so far, we are not too far away from Friday!  Continuing with our introduction to Le Petit Ruban Valentine's themed jewelry collection, today I have for you the sweetest 'Be Mine' solitaire ring necklace.

Very petite and very cute!  For more details, click here.

As for inspiration, I remember in season 4 of Sex and the City, Carrie wore her engagement ring from Aidan as a necklace.  Very unique, but probably not the best idea for the real bling.  However, I do adore Carrie, character played by Sarah Jessica Parker, for her personality and especially her amazing wardrobe!

Hope you enjoyed my sharing :)

Cupid's Arrow Necklace (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Hey Everyone!  Time to show case another Valentine themed jewelry!  Today I have for you a super adorable miniature Cupid's Arrow necklace.  This necklace is probably the favorite piece of mine out of the Valentine's collection.  It's light weight, minimalist, great for layering and goes very well with any outfits.  

Cupid, also known in Latin as Amor, is the son of Venus, the god of affection and love.  It is believed when struck by Cupid's arrow, one will be filled with uncontrollable desire and passion (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･ 

Find necklace in my shop here.  

More V-day items coming soon, stay tuned!

Valentine's Day Jewelry (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

The official one-month countdown to Valentine's day starts now!  

Hey Everyone!  It seems just yesterday that I was searching and preparing Christmas gifts for everyone.  Can't believe it is time for yet another holiday!  Valentine's day is definitely one of my favorite day in a year.  It is a day to celebrate not only love, but also friendship and family.  

This year, I created a few Valentine's day themed jewelries, including necklaces, earrings and bracelets.  I think they make the perfect little reminder that someone is loved. 

This 'Love & Peace' necklace is one I really adore.  Find it in my shop here.  

I will post more pieces in the next few days, check back soon : )

♥ Why celebrate Valentine's Day? ♥

Lovebirds, remember how your heart beat like a drum when you first laid your eyes on that special someone?  Remember the spark in your eyes when you smiled at each other and the every single drop of joy you savored from the first kiss?  Remember the laughter and joy, moments of romance and sweetness?  V-day is a chance to let your passion grow stronger, by letting your loved one how you feel and how blessed you are to have him/her in your life.  

Single? no problem!  Party and enjoy your freedom and cherish your friendship with BFFs, as they are just as hard to come by as any good relationship.  Who knows, you might just meet your Mr/Miss right at the next turn of corner!

Anna Sui Haul ♥

Hey everyone!  I finally got time this weekend to go through my holiday hauls :)  My favorites were the Anna Sui products purchased online at UrbanOutfitters.com.

Items photoed:

Anna Sui Beauty Tray

Anna Sui Brush Stand

Anna Sui Cheek Brush

Anna Sui Nail Color N

Anna Sui Eye Shadow Palette

Anna Sui Eye Shadow & Limited Edition Holiday Eye Shadow

The beauty tray and the brush stand are really amazing with sculpted roses and butterflies.  Even though they are plastic, the material look very good quality and sturdy.  I'm planning to arrange some of my smaller blush, powder and shadow palettes in the beauty tray, and the brush stand is perfect for keeping pens, mascaras, brushes and etc...

I got eye shadows in color 203, 206, and holiday limited color 005, the palette case was purchased separately.  203 is a pinkish purple color with fine silver sparkles, 206 is a matte plum color, and 005 is a dark purple shade with silver sparkles.  It's really great to customize my own palette, no ending up with unwanted color!  and LOVE the Anna Sui signature rose scent from the shadows!

Nail Color N in 701 and 705.  701 is one of my favorite Anna Sui polish, a pale blush color with silver sparkles.  This is my second purchase since few year ago, and the new bottle design is just the cutest!!  705 is a nude color with fine silver sparkles, a great basic color to have. 

Anna Sui blush brush with my old Rose Blush powder.  The brush is quite amazing, I love how soft the bristles feel against my skin :) and the beautifully sculpted rose handle is super elegant!

All items were purchased just before Christmas, when UO offered 20% off across the site with free shipping, great opportunity to get what I wanted, and I'm really happy with everything I received!  

Hope you enjoyed my sharing and have a great weekend!

XOXO

New Item & New Year Resolution for 2013

Hope your new year has kicked off with an amazing start!

I love the start of a new year, it signifies a new beginning, a chance for goal setting, resolution making.  So over the holiday break, I managed to make myself a list of all the things, like fun projects, healthy habits that I wanted to commit to, but never got started or got slipped off.  Things like hit the gym more, take better jewelry photos, try more fun d.i.y. projects...  Hopefully when I look back at the end of the year, I'd achieved most of them if not all!

One important goal of course, is to bring new style every week to my shop

Let's see how well I stick to my goal ;D

I love how elegant these earrings look, the pavé crystal-encrusted tulip links with bright stones below are sweet with a touch of French couture flair.  Available in silver and gold finish.

Hope you like these as well :) I would love to hear your new year resolutions, if you care to share.  I find it nice to have support buddies, as sticking to a goal can be tough on our own.  And as always, feel free to share any ideas/comments/suggestions!  

XOXO

Bridal Inspiration: Patricia Bonaldi Spring Summer 2013

Happy New Year!  

Can't believe it's 2013 already, hope everyone's had a safe relaxing holiday season and is ready for back to work again ;)

I'm excited to start the year's blogging with a newly found favorite of mine, the talented Brazilian Haute Couture house of Patricia Bonaldi.  The designer's Spring/Summer 2013 collection carries heavenly jeweled gowns and dazzling luxurious accessories.  With elements including lace, silk, sequins, embroidery and jewels, the collection surely is everything a girl could wish for and more to feel elegant, feminine, sweet and sexy.  

A few of my favorite pieces... they make the perfect reception after-party/maid of honor/bridesmaid dress IMO.
