Ear Flair

I have been looking into ear piercings and earrings more lately in hopes of finding some inspiration to change my look.  

Unique Edges and Memories

When I was about 11 years old my Buddhist Priest saw my piercings and told me that these holes in your body allow your energy to drain out like waterfalls. He shook his little finger at me and told me, "No more holes" smiled and walked away to leave me with these thoughts. While I always contemplated information that he gave to me, I always filtered through what it was that I would accept as right for me and what I felt was better left for others. Maybe it was vanity that made me reject this information from my priest, probably so, as I have always loved piercings. In fact, I pierced my ear in this exact same spot in London in 2002. I dont have an earring in that spot now, but the scar leaves me to remember two things that make me smile; London and the politely rejected advice from my gentle advisor. To me, this is what piercings are all about. They should remind you of a moment in time, of someone special, a triumph, or of a place near and dear to your heart. And my little hole reminds me of a city I adore and a little sweet man shaking his finger at me in love. 

Ahhhhh Amore!

A few of my favorite things:

I got stuck playing on Polyvore today, as I often do! Hopefully my playtime will provide you with a little bit of Saturday entertainment. (You can view my Polyvore sets at the bottom of this blog page).
I am trying very hard not to shop in order to save up for the Apple hard drive that I need. Wish me luck...I am going to need it! (whew).

Jewelry during the Roaring 20's had a modern edge to it, it was almost futuristic in nature for the times. And surprisingly enough it's currently in vogue! But truthfully, I think that Art Deco jewelry pieces are ones that will turn out to be timeless. Best to pick one amazing piece invest a little more money than you usually would! Vintage stores are my favorite for these types of pieces! One of my local Sacramento favorites: Magnolia Treasures; it's off Fair Oaks in Carmichael. They have an Ah-mazing selection of jewelry! Happy shopping Followers!

My wallet friendly purchases

When it comes to being nice to my pocket book and scratching my fashion itch at the same time, I like to turn to ASOS.
This week I bought myself a pair of earrings that I think I am honestly going to attempt to wear every chance that I get!
