AUDITORY ACCESSORIES

Stine Goya by Trine Tuxen ear cuff

I seem to be going through a heavy jewelry phase. What feels like the first in a long time. You might recall I went nuts over a certain ginormous shark tooth, but since then have been pretty minimal (read: lazy) with accessories. I guess since my recent collaboration I've been motivated to wear more jewelry, and with wearing more jewelry comes buying more jewelry. So far just the Dior pearls, but luckily this ear cuff came earlier than expected and now I think I am satisfied. For 2013 at least...only 30 more days, crazy!

IMPULSES

When you're friends text you to go to Rodeo and your first instinct is mmm Mexican food... You know you're a little scrambled. Quick correction to the Drive not the restaurant and what started off as spontaneously tagging along, ended up in some lady-like impulse buys. Perfume and pearls.

I've been looking for a signature scent for what seems since high school forever and I think I've finally found it in Byredo's Inflorescence. Now I'm just waiting for the travel vials. And those pearls? Yes, those Dior pearls.

Empress Dior

i've mentioned before that i'm not huge on jewelry and accessories but lately i've been in an inexplicable frenzy acquiring new pieces. see i don't like to have to change out and coordinate accessories everyday. my fashion formula revolves around laziness and comfort and the least amount of thought required to put an outfit together. i like to have a set that i wear every single day and become my constant staples.

spotted this crazy ring at Dior and i must admit, it was not love at first sight. it was peaked curiosity at first sight, but love...not just yet. it took some trying on and walking around (comical i know, for a ring) and just plain marveling at its size. there are times when you see something and you're certain you're drawn to it, but then there's a fine line it teeters on between being monstrous or genius. i inevitably was convinced of the latter.

it kept reminding me of these ancient Chinese hats that emperors and court people wore.

every time i look down at my hand i think of that and it makes me smile. isn't that what fashion is supposed to be afterall? finding pleasure in these treasures we find?
