Smitten, totally smitten!

I don't follow fashion too closely or buy anything and everything in vogue. But I do like to keep a watch on all the pretty stuff in trend and one of them that has grabbed my EYEBALLS with their stunning designs - AMRAPALI JEWELLERY!

Almost every celebrity dons it and every single design is stunning - classic, quirky or a forever-design- they come in all categories! So for my birthday this time, S surprised me with some striking unique pieces from Amrapali!

Here's a striking knuckle ring, that I think is not just unique, but a classic piece too!

I imagine, it would suffice if worn just as a single piece, with all the attention towards it - very aptly too! The fact that I have long fingers help! I can't wait to be invited for a wedding soon...anyone getting married? :)

S always makes it a point to buy complete gifts - so he also got me a contemporary spike pendant - though its not a goth-sorta piece - it is elegant yet spunky, in my opinion. 

The breakfast table that the jewellery sits on, is an improvised version. A DIY idea inspired me to work on our simple glass table into this. I stuck all the coppery 1,2 and 5 cents from France to make this! 

what do you think? :P

Clothes Overhaul!

...I strongly believe in getting rid of clutter, but holding on to the good things in life AND clothes! Optimum utilization is KEY....I love to do potter around and do something creative with my time...it makes me feel very productive and creating something, even if in a small way...makes a huge difference to how you feel...anyway, I digress!

So I have this old top that I bought in Singapore a long time back, which shrunk in size over several washes...but I love these chinese accents on it! 

So I got rid of the top I had "outgrown", but cut out these beautiful and vibrant accents....

....attached them to a plain silk top in black....and Voila!

I have an interesting new top and I retained the lovely embroidery patches too! Ingenious, you say? I KNOW!! :P
