+hear me roar+

On the topic of friendship bracelets in one of my past posts, this Gilt ring was sent to me by my best friend from college. I love it because not only does it remind me of her, but also of my Dad who's a leo so I feel a sense of strength whenever I look at it.

Here's the other friday fineday necklace I found in tokyo city in Bangkok. I love 'ugly pretty'things, and although i wasn't a big fan of the oversized skull (surprising i know), i loved the 'too muchness' of the charms.

Well it's back to the old grind. Flew back in last night, my luggage refusing to come all the way with me, to come home and consequently get stuck in my building today because my door's swollen shut. So luckily my local Spiderman jumped my gate and kicked the door in. So all I can do is wait for my luggage and stare at my nails that remind of where I was just 24hours ago. *sigh*

I will let this speak for itself. You know my skull obsession. Another find from yesterday. More to come...

I have just spent the day in a fantasy... Well no because it was a wonderful reality! Went to Terminal 21 in Bangkok and "departed" to Tokyo city where all this jewelry was waiting for me! So for now, this is the first of the batch...

a friend of mine had a necklace that she had designed which was so simple and has always been in the back of my mind. so, 3 years later i actually just found the one below here or a similar one here.

We all have pieces we never take off. Mine consist frequently of these three 'friendship bracelets' which remind me how grateful I am for those in my life. One - a (damned) wish bracelet my Querido got me in a Brazilian market. You make a wish for each knot and they "come true" after the bracelet falls off. I can't for the life of me remember one of the wishes, but I've also been waiting 2 years for this thing to fall off!! Second - my red Swarovski bracelet my little Dubai starling gave me, and thirdly my Marfa bracelet by Isabel Marant.

There are different designs of the Isabel Marant one, which i think make perfect little gifts for your closest. Mind you Monnierfreres gives you two for one now so best hurry up while the deal is still on. Otherwise you can find them at Liberty in London. Happy 2013!
