take me by the tongue and I'll show you

Maybe people don't know that apart from me 'feasting' over makeup, I also appreciate the little trinkets that could be worn to make an outfit stand out. Okay, that is apart from me liking clothes too. And shoes. Well, maybe not shoes. I get too tedious when it comes to shoe shopping.

The thing about accessories is that we can either have too many of them or too few. Most of the people I know would always have either one or two bracelets that they will always wear, a necklace, a pair of earrings (my roommate is an exception, she has tons of earrings) and one or most the the time, no rings at all. I have worn my mother's engagement ring since I came out of Form 5 and never took it off. And I, speaking on the things of accessories, fall into the earlier category of having too many of them (or at least I am slowly getting there)

And Lord knows I love a good accessory bargain. I often get mine from Forever 21, Chamelon (I semi dislike this place now) and sometimes if I really really find something that I like, and I have sleep on it for two or three days, Vincci Accessories. But recently I just found out about a store that sells cheap accessories of my type. I like rusty gold/gold necklace and rings, feathers, charm bracelets, skull, gun, metal design. I don't own any owl necklace because I don't get the trend at that time. Now I just wish I had because everywhere I look people are wearing them and it's getting overwhelming.

I've actually been to this store's kiosk in The Curve Flea Market but obviously I do not know the name of the store at that time. Bought two rings for RM10 each. Then I went to Sunway Pyramid's Asian Avenue because I like me a little Asian ;) Bought a necklace there for RM19. This was from months and months back. Yesterday was the third time I went there and got myself another three pairs of rings, and this time I made sure that I get the name. The store is called Charmz.

One of the rings that I bought, again for RM10, was a dupe (BUT IN MY EYES IT WAS A TERRIFIC, TRULY GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENTLY MADE KNOCK OFF) for the classic YSL Arty Ring. And let me tell you now that if I ever going to get a designer jewellery, I'll make sure to get me hands on this first!


Score the biggest image of it on Google! Now if only they would fit my fingers through the screen..


The one that I got. Yes, let's not kid ourselves in drooling much over this piece, I know I know it has a lot to live up to the real YSL Arty Ring. But hey, even I got to admit that this is not bad for a RM10 ring. The store only got a black one and a turquoise one. And since I have a turquoise gem and none of black, I've decided to get this one in my collection instead.

I hereby declare this new ring as my baby and will protect it as if it were $250.00.


Toodles.
