Weekend Blues

I'm usually happy once weekends kicks in but today it's a bit different... let me count the ways why this is not turning out to be my day:

1. My SD card got corrupted! I can't access the pics that I was supposed to upload on Chictopia and the pics for my online store ggggrrrr! I mean seriously??? After my laptop, here comes another technical problem?!?1? I smell sabotage :P I hope I can still recover the pics though huhuhu

2. The newest Forever 21 store here is now open (which is just one short ride away from my house) but I don't have money (I know, so sad!) :( So I'm now stuck in my house so that I won't end up disappointed...

3. My cough is killin' me! I had this for over a week already... I feel like my lung's going to explode :p

So there you go... not exactly the best of days :( But enough of the ranting :D Since I'm on house arrest, the next best thing to do is to create more accessories or watch more Korean Dramas :P It's not shopping, but I guess that's good enough for now... until I'm attacked by the "Shopping Withdrawal Syndrome" :D

So, for my Items of the Day... these pics are the some of the accessories I made a month ago that I was unable to post. Fortunately I saved it on my computer before the SD card disaster. I'll also be posting these pics on my still on-going online store...

So until the next post... hopefully by that time, I already recovered the pics :D

Accessories...Excessories

I create accessories as a hobby (check out my first blog) but once in a while, I still buy accessories either as inspiration or I just love it so much, I want to wear it :D As mentioned in my previous blog, I recently cleaned my closet...I never realized I had so much accessories until that day! I think accessories play an important role in your outfit because it helps show the mood you want to portray (case in point: stacked bangles portrays bohemian while a strand of pearls equates to classic sophistication). Personally, I like chunky necklaces and bracelets... but really, as long as it's cute, fun, and unique (hopefully), I'll probably want it :)


My items for the day are some of the accessories that I bought that I truly, truly wish I was the one who created it :) :

Bought at Landmark (it's cheap too!) Love how the fabric was used to cover the beads and I also admire the gold accents.

How cute is the owl? :D Also, the bangle is very versatile because of its color - black,white & gold.

Another Landmark purchase. I have this weakness for accessories with cloth or ribbon accents. In this case, it has both :)

My friends tease me on this one... They tell me, "how come you wear coins on your neck?" :p (I think this one looks more like chocolate candies :D )

I'm not really a great fan of silver but I just adore the leaf motif & layering on this one.

Weaved native-looking bracelets :) It can be classic & fun at the same time :D
