New earrings

In a moment of madness I decided to buy these Amrita Singh Quogue earrings which were on Ozsale.com.

I had waited just half a day to decide whether or not to buy the other earrings I had my eye on which of course meant they would sell out before I plucked up the courage to press the 'add to cart' button.


THIS of course immediately put me in panic mode and I just had to buy something before the whole world bought everything out.

They are definitely a style that I would not normally buy!!

I bought them in "amethyst" which is a lovely purple color however I can't find a picture on the net of it hence the green :P

They were on sale for $25 AUD which I think is very reasonable considering they are selling on the official website at full price for $100 USD!! (I never noticed how expensive costume jewelry is since I actually started to look properly.)

I think I must be reading too many U.S fashion blogs lately. The girls wear the most lovely statement jewelry and necklaces and PULL IT OFF SO WELL!!! So jealous!!!!!! I am easily influenced >< *sadface*

Here is how the earrings look on the model

Very dramatic!! Hope they ship them over soon :) rawrr

Lalala weekend time <3

OOTD from weekend

A bf who wants to test out his new camera + a gf who wants to camwhore = match made in heaven ^^


I had to resize the pics coz they were too huge now the quality sux!!!

Oh well...

Melbourne has 4 seasons per day.

On the off day that it is sunny, you must GRAB UR CHANCE TO CAMWHORE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!

I have really boring taste in fashion, I feel really self conscious wearing really dramatic and out there stuff. Don't really have the confidence to pull it off :(

Must make it a new years resolution to change that!

 I always have fucked up facial expressions in photos =.=


Always look so pissed off like some psycho murderer...

trying hard to look friendly...

DIY Project - silver tarnish

Since I have been sooo into statement necklaces recently I decided to dig into my old forgotten jewelry to see if I could 'rediscover' any hidden treasures. I found this sad little chunky Kookai necklace [$100] hidden in one corner which I had totally forgotten about.

It was looking a little worse for wear with all the tarnish that had built up over time. Some parts actually had some sort of GREEN mould like substance on it. EWWWWW... even after polishing it with a silver polishing cloth it still looked pretty beat up.

...and this is AFTER much polishing...

After a bit of googling and a trip to the supermarket, I decided to try this easy DIY silver tarnish removing solution.

Materials:

L - R Bowl (from bf home), Foil (from bf home), Baking Soda ($2.99 from Safeway), Water (bf home), Oh and of course your jewelry. Excuse the messy background :P

STEP ONE:

Wrap jewelry in foil. Just shove her in and wrap it up.

STEP TWO:

Poke random holes in the foil (to allow water to seep in).Forgot to take a pic *woops*

STEP THREE:


Pour about 3-4 tbl spoons of baking soda into the bowl. Mix with water (enough to immerse jewelry). Stupid me forgot to take a pic again but I'm sure this is pretty easy ...

STEP FOUR:

Drop ur jewelry into the bowl and wait... tap tap tap...

STEP FIVE:


Take ur jewelry out, rinse it and dry with a soft towel.

Voila!!
See your jewelry reborn and shiny again<3

Close up pic. Totally wearable again. Maybe this weekend ? hmmmm~!

Statement jewelry

I've been reading many fashion blogs lately and absolutely lusting over bold and dramatic statement jewelry..

I know this is really really old and its been blogged to death but it's just so damn nice.

YSL arty ring. SO beautiful. It really sucks that the official YSL website doesn't ship to Australia as it is the only place to buy size 4! (Even if it did I think I am too cheap to pay $250 for something which may or may not fit properly - CURSE YOU SMALL FINGERS!!!!)

So I did the next best thing. I ordered an "inspired" one off ebay.

In Black. I paid $7.99 plus $4.50 in postage which I still think is quite expensive for costume jewelry but oh well...

The listing did not really specify a proper size but had an "approximate" diameter of 1.6cm. I measured my Tiffany Ring in size 4 and I *think* the diameter is around 1.5cm which makes this ring still.. too big. I guess I will just have to get creative with re sizing it. Will post pics when I receive!

I have also been obsessing over statement neck pieces and Etsy is a great place to browse these one of a kind items!

Like this necklace by EzzaExclusive.
[$149 USD]

It's absolutely devinee. Will jazz up any casual outfit.
The only drawback I have is the price which I find quite steep for costume jewelry. But oh my... just can't.. stop.. looking..

Some of her other work which is absolutely gorgeous as well:

Emerald and Crystal Gemstone Beaded Bib Necklace [$249 USD] here

Abstract Geo Bold Statement necklace [$249 USD] here

*sighs dreamily*

Amrita Singh also has some great pieces which I have seen featured on some other blogs. Apparently there are frequent sales on her website as well which I have no idea if I am eligible for since living in Australia means shipping prices and tax are a big factor when it comes to online shopping :(

I am loving her Hamptons collection, here are some of my favs (all pics taken off www.amritasingh.com) :

Loving the bright colors!!!

OMG OZSALE is doing a clearance on Amrita Singh jewelry!

This is the BEST soup.


Soup within wintermelon! It is half a wintermelon wrapped in foil and "standing up" inside a cup.



Full of yummy goodness.



Wrapped in yummy goodness too. Not only is the soup drinkable, you can also scoop up the soft wintermelon skin around it. Oh so tasty.

At dinner time pretty much every table starts off with a round of this soup. Have never seen it at any other Chinese restaurant in Melbourne ^^ it is a MUST HAVE.

Other dishes:





Pork - but not regular pork, it's WILD PIG



And dessert which I forgot to take pic of - the highlight is the wintermelon soup!!



Feking yums!
