Focusing In: NCWbyHD Sneak Peak

More details coming soon. Cannot wait to show you guys the rest!

Investing in Feathers & Chains

{thrifted necklace stand, h&m earrings}

My right ear (just the one, remember?) is obsessed with those twisted ones. Also, since taking these photos just last week, there's already been a slew of new and inexpensive additions being strung on my t-bar... which are now just hanging out with the rest of the family until I stop favoring this one pair. Similar to what I learn in Anthropology: investing in one offspring is at the cost of the parent's ability to invest in another. Only in this case, earrings... and not little monkey babies. Yeah? No. This is just a phase, I swear.

Silver Pellets

{earrings, $10 fr random boutique}

I just recently realized that I had stopped wearing earrings for the past couple of Fall months. Strange. I've since taken a complete u-turn and been on the constant lookout for things to adorn my little ears and have even decided that I actually want more holes in them... yikes. Sorry mom. Anyways, I'll just show you this pair for now; I bought these fat, silver pellets to wear everyday and to basically just act as fillers. Meaning, I'll just wear one in the left since I'm totally into this whole 'wearing one long earring and having my hair behind my right ear' thing. Don't know where I picked that up from but it's dangling on with me for sure throughout this Spring.

PS. Who knows how to do palm readings? I used my macro lens to take the photos of these little guys and they brought out every little line!

Captain Hook Would Hate Me

{lot of vintage watches, $20}

Boyfriend and I went thrift shopping a couple of weeks ago and for once we both came out with some dope, new but previously loved stuff. He gripped a denim jacket for under $10, while I left the place with a much-needed necklace stand (I'm sick of untangling shit), an oversized sweater and to top it all off: these time pieces. They were all squished into the tiniest little Ziploc bag as a set and locked up in the glass display case right by the cashiers, which to me seemed kind of unnecessary at first because they're definitely all broken and and no longer ticking anyways. But then I thought, another persons junk is another persons treasure remember? And besides they all technically got it right at most two times a day and that's good enough for me.

Three's A Charm

Brought home these three beauties last Monday and they've been on my fingers since. Seeing as how they were obviously created in the image of the incredibly coveted Yves Saint Laurent Arty Rings (or so I'd like to think), I thoughtfully photographed them atop Stefano Pilati's pages in my "100 Contemporary Fashion Designers" Taschen. Sure, they may not be the real deal but for like... 1/10th of the price, they dutifully attract the attention of my colleagues while my hands flail around writing notes and manage to catch some stares from customers while I ring them thru at till.

YSL-inspired rings, Forever 21.

Mary-Kate And Her Rings

{olsen's anonymous}

As soon as I start taking better care of my shit,
I'm sure my collection will slowly start to look MK worthy...
currently getting nowhere with this whole acquire one, lose one phenomenon.
