Delightful Illusions

       Hi! :D How was your Valentine's Day? Mine was a regular working day, but we have some sort "feast" on our office, I think that was my date. Haha! Then my best bud surprised me with a balloon and a flower which made my day. :"> I apologize for not posting anything for V-day, I forgot to bring my camera at work. Sorry, my bad. 

       I have not posted about accessories for a long time. I guess this is the best time for me to post my bow collection as Spring is about to emerge on in the atmosphere. A lot of people are already starting to shop for Spring and Summer. Flowers are about to bloom, new fashion trends and much colorful environment!  Isn't it exciting? 

      As I have said, this is a hair bow collection post. Bows are charismatic props that makes us girly, youthful, and super attractive. I don't know, there's something with them that makes me love them. I love collecting bows, even if I use them just occasionally. I have worn some, you can see them at my 21st birthday and new years posts. Do you love bows, too? :)

      This is how I organize these babies, except for the headband because that's stored in a different tray. Most of these was purchased way back then. I don't know if you can still buy these, maybe you can search something similar on your locals boutiques or online stores. 

        Hello, guys! How are you? I have been busy the past couple of weeks, from family events to school matters. I have also done some repainting of furniture on my room, I have redecorated it. I also shopped for Christmas decorations for our home. Holidays is in the atmosphere! Hoping I could blog about it soon.  I'm really sorry for the inactivity, I really do. :) 

      Hoop earrings have been in trends for an endless time. They are popular from then until now; very fashionable and looks classy. They give a polished look in almost any outfit they are matched with. I have collected a lot of these way back during my college days. Unfortunately, I lost most of them and these are what's left on my collection. I used to buy plain silver hoops, but then I've seen daring ones from various people so I bought different styles. I was inspired by JoJo to wear hoops, she's one of my fashion inspirations actually.

       I got this black pair at Broadway Gems for Php 20 a few years ago. Michelle Phan was my inspiration for this; she was a wearing black hoop at her Mascara Business Card Trick video. It rocked on her so I looked one for myself. I couldn't find a round one so I opted for this flower-shaped pair. By the way, MP rocks back then. I don't watch her videos anymore. :( 

        These blue hoops are from Shop and Match. If I'm not mistaken, this was around Php 12. I got this pair during the summertime. Thought this was really cute because of the chain attached to it. There were other colors available but this was the most appealing to me. Perfect for the beach.

       These next two pairs are from the brand Angelina; it was available at Robinson's Department (Iloilo) back then. I think this was Php 50 each. I bought these way back in 2011. These are thicker than usual hoops, giving a retro vibe. I got them in hot pink and red. I haven't actually used the red one still. Haha! :) 

      I got this recently at Ingmar (Marymart Mall). I lost all of my silver hoops so I bought a new one. I love the width and style. Perfect for casual and special occasions. My obsession this month.

      This pair was from Jellybean, was originally Php 199 down to Php 50. Isn't that amazeballs? This has faux Swarovski colorful stones. It's thicker than usual. One of my favorites from this collection. Perfect for special occasions. 

         This is the most amazing hoops earring I ever owned! It looks classy, not trashy. The dangling flower chains are gorgeous. I just wish I got this as a genuine gold jewelry. This pair was from Forever 21, from Php 285 down to Php 99. I remember Britney Spears wearing something like this at her I'm A Slave 4 U music video. Her hoops is even more fabulous. Check the video. :)

       This pair is some sort of like a Tibetan / Bohemian inspired. I cannot exactly explain what this is. It looks fab but I haven't worn this yet. Haha! I need more inspirations. This was also from Shop&Match.

     That's all for this collection. If you want to see these earring worn one by one, check my Instagram account. My links are listed on the sidebar and below this post. I gave away half of my accessories because it's trashing my room. I've done some cleaning a few months ago. I'm considering collecting genuine jewelry for investments. What do you think guys? I have a product empties post coming up. Thank you so much for reading. Talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO

Fashiolista: Check my fashion finds and loves

       Hello, there! It's been a week since I updated my page and make a new post here in my blog. I was busy these past few days because it was our annual town fiesta, I cooked and organized. Wanna see me cooking? Let me know. Haha! After the preparations, I didn't feel well that's why I wasn't able to update immediately. I'm okay now. :) 

         So, for today's post, I will show and tell about my animal jewelry collection. It's not a lot but I have some of the cutest pieces (in my opinion). Haha! I started collecting accessories when I was in high school, I'm particularly known for my burloloys during my schooling days. I hope you'll love this post because I a lot of us loves jewelry. Enjoy reading! *Click the images for a larger view.

Earrings

       The first pair I have in here is an owl earrings from Forever 21. I'm not sure if you still can get this because I bought this last year, a graduation gift to my self. I usually don't spend  Php 280 for a pair of earrings but these owls can't be resisted. They're adorable to the highest level! This pair is unique because they're body is connected by a chain with colorful threads as decoration. The colors incorporated well with each other and they pretty much match with any outfit. 

      Next is this pair of butterfly earrings given to me by my cousin way back in 2004. I think, or maybe earlier than that. Haha! I can't throw away such a cute stuff. I've worn this a lot during my high school days. I don't wear this anymore because trends change, right? I forgot where she got these.

       This snake earrings is from Shop & Match, an wholesale store of fashion accessories here in Iloilo. I might give the shop a feature soon, but I'm telling right now that I can't give a tour because taking pictures inside the store is prohibited. Going back to the topic, I got this pair not more than Php 30. I still haven't use this yet, I'm not really sure what outfit to match with these. Do you have any suggestions? These are in silver, decorated with sparkly stones. 

     Then, I got another snake earrings from the same store but in a different color and form. Smaller than the first pair. These are in gold and would also go well with any look. Yeah, I also haven't worn this one yet. I collect accessories but rarely use them. Do you have any suggestions again?

     Isn't this pair the cutest studs? So cute! Looking so dainty and at the same time classy because of the faux pearls. I've worn these a couple of times and they spice up simple outfits. An unusual earrings but I can't let this go.  Also from Shop & Match.

      Last pair is a chandelier butterfly earrings also from the same store. These pieces remind me of JoJo Levesque so much, she wore something butterfly on her Baby It's You music video. I'll post the video on the sidebar. She's my inspiration for accessories. She made we wear hoop earrings.

Brooch

       I'm not a brooch person. In fact, I don't even wear one. But, this piece is magnetizing to the eyes. The colored stones brought to life the butterfly. I'm hoping that one This was given to me by my friend during my 18th birthday. 

Ring

     I'm also not a ring person but this ring caught my attention. It's like a butterfly's nest. Yeah, I love butterflies.

Necklace

Then again, another butterfly. LOL! My eyes gravitate towards butterfly. They're irresistible. This is a statement necklace that looks classy as you wear it. Also from S&M.

Bracelets

      As much as I would like to wear this more often, I just can't because it's too big for my wrist. How I wish this is adjustable. :( Anyways, this bracelet reminds me of a garden because of the ladybugs, dragonfly and beetle decorations. The lock is even more adorable because of "PEACE" engraved to it. I bought this from my mommy's shop at around Php 45. Cheap, eh? She buys stuff at China and sell them in their store. Do you want a tour? Let me know.

     *Freaking out* OMG! This is my most loved bracelet. I have been eyeing this for a long time and finally got it from Greenhills for a cheaper price. It's a snake (again) wrap bracelet. There are pieces like this with only one color of stones. This one's colorful and looks lively. I feel like I'm a sorceress wearing this. Haha! I also want a dragon one similar design worn (it was a ring though) by Jay Baruchel at The Sorcerer's Apprentice). Would you wear something like this?

     Finally, A monkey bracelet with lucky charms which I bought from a Chinese seller of furniture. Yeah, I was born on the Year of the Monkey. Hurray to all monkeys! LOL! I use this as one of my arm candies.

     So, that's all guys. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed taking pictures of these. If you want any requests or any thing else, just hit me a comment or message me on Facebook. Have a good day. Stay safe, guys! XOXO
