Crush Jewels

This beautiful aquamarine stone ring was purchased a while ago from Crush Jewels.
She has an Etsy shop and is also selling some of her jewelry on eBay.
They are handmade and some are made to order.

The sizing is a bit unfamiliar.
I usually wear a size 6 in stores like Aldo accessories and Forever21.
However, I would really need a size 4.5-5 for this particular ring.
The ring was too big for me at first, but they kindly let me mail it back
to be fixed. I received it back in about a week or 2... can't remember.
She gave me an extra pair of earrings! how kind!

The wire/ring is made of brass and is very strong and sturdy!
I'm trying to avoid mass produced jewelry and trying to buy things
that I know will last for a long time (and not rust :p)

They have a lot of lovely vintage/victorian pieces!

and the reason why I haven't been posting outfit photos...
well simply because I have been wearing the same things over and over again! lol
I can never live without my mini skirts in the winter or summer ><

L'Air

This is yet another random post ><
I was working at the National Women's show the past 3 days
and I received some samples yesterday night before leaving.
One of which was the Nina Ricci L'Air perfume sample :)
I don't wear perfume, but whenever I get perfume samples,
I always find the need to express my opinion about it lol

Top Notes (Freesia, Honeysuckle, Violet Leaves)
Middle Notes (Magnolia, Jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose)
Base Notes (Palisander wood, Patchouli)

At first, the smell is very light and pleasant... but after a few
minutes, my nose couldn't really stand the smell. The scent
does dry down a bit and becomes less pungent. It's a nice
clean, floral scent. I won't be wearing this everyday, but I
might wear it again on a cold night out :) I would say that
it is a light, subtle scent when worn for over an hour or two.

and my outfits for this past Saturday and Sunday :)
#1 grey shirt (Stitches). pink blouse&jeans (Zipia)  #2 shirt&cardigan (Zipia). skirt (Urban Planet). leggings (unknown)

yumm, this is what I made myself for breakfast this morning :)
I'm someone who will wake up earlier just to have breakfast =p

I made a banana sliced, peanut butter sandwich with 2 slices of
toasted black sesame bread. Then I added some grapes I found
in the fridge... and some triscuits (I received a free box at the
show I was working at lol) :) it's flavoured with cheddar and herbs :)
