To earmark the Zaihani Zain furore

In all honesty , I started out hunting for a bright yellow earring elsewhere other than at Lovisa because I felt that , that , particular colour tone , was way overpriced in their stores . Then somehow I ended up with 2 pieces which I think Zaihani Mohd Zain would probably wear you know , thanks to a few days of the furore setting fire to my facebook feed .
In one post , netizens " bantai-ed " her round the clock for 3 days straight . Wowzers !

Star dark , star bright

If you notice already by now , I like to pick up pieces which I actually like from here and there and then only think about how to piece them together in a mix and match manner later . 

Sometimes it works , other times , I think to myself " what on earth was I thinking of back then ? " but most times , this habit of mine ends up with me either looking terribly peculiar or arresting depending on who's looking actually .

Now , as you already have seen from my backposts , I really don't need more earrings but then this particular stall was " throwing prices " so to speak , and of all things I had to go pick the one single earring that cost more than all the other flat priced earrings on offer . Still it cost me less than MYR 10 ( 30 baht to be exact ) , so I would still consider this quite a good buy .

Only thing I did not bargain for was the earring not staying put on sparkling black which I liked ..........

Mix and match experiment - what goes with what

Because I purchase my clothes off the rack , my choice of accessories and shoes are what's gonna set me apart from another person whom I may bump into on the street wearing the exact same outfit ! 

However , since my memory is just so bad , this mix and match post is for my personal reference , but you're welcome to looksee through my mix and match experiments if you like .

Starting off with 3 outfits first , will add on if and when I feel like it ( maybe even never  ! ) . 

The rest are non matching accessories which I intend to pair together , some of which I made myself , especially when it comes to simple earrings .

Lovisa bubble statement earrings

+

Lovisa - the complete haul ( I hope so ! )

I've taken some effort to go lay them out properly so you can have a good look at them .

Now , imagine if I had paid the full retail price , these were the prices before discount ...

1. MYR 99.90

Multi chain feather fringe necklace

Go big or buy nothing - some chunky Lovisa's

Should never have passed by the shop just now ....because screammmm....I ducked in for a quick look and came out with 3 chunky Lovisa's !

Lovisa - long , long tinsel for Xmas

I never wrote Santa a letter and yet he knew exactly how to make my heart flutter with happiness .

It's been broken for close to a year ever since my last long , long necklace became tarnished , due to exposure to harsh winter winds .

See , I love long , long necklaces that stretch all the way down to my belly .

However , this particular type of necklace , is considered bohemian chic or vintage rather than what's currently trending , hence making them a bit difficult to find , even in Lovisa where statement pieces seem to be a choc a block .

Silver jhumka fish motif earrings

Say hello to my second bell shaped Jhumka earring .

Again costing MYR 10 only , also found in Little India , Penang .

3 more

These don't cost very much either . Got the first 2 from a lady operating from a flea market stall . She's from China and she's lived here so long she can even speak Malay already .

My first impression of her though , was that she was either Korean or Vietnamese due to the slang but who am I to doubt her eh ? I'll just take what she says at face value cos she had some interesting pieces indeed .

All one offs from what I see .

More Indian earrings from Little India

Alrightee , lai lai lai ....who wants to see each and every single one of these danglers up close ? 

Mannnnn they make me feel like a princess alright !

Ah , but first things first , how much did they cost for me to get sooooooo many at once ? 

First she asked for 10 ringgit each (  almost fainted there ) , then she even gave me one free , when I was done ( damn I wanted to cry / laugh / dance but I held it back ) .

Normally though , these would range between MYR 19 to 49.90 per pair ( or if you were to step into Lovisa , similar designs could go for between MYR 80 to MYR 120 + ! ) .

So you see , didn't I tell you how great it is to do physical shopping ,now that a lot of people prefer to do it online ? 

First one.

Super sparkly , just like a chandelier on fire ! 

Indian earrings from Little India - first 3 pairs

Well , we're entering another phase here . Indian earrings . 

Yup , all started when I had to improvise on Deepavali , it was a last minute decision when I had to scramble a look that was hurriedly put together .

Also had to do with a couple of visits to Lovisa before I said to myself  " that does it " , after almost fainting over the price tags there .

With a purpose in mind , I stormed into Little India just now .

Honestly , Georgetown is full of Chinese but I was and almost am always the sore thumb that sticks out here . I've NEVER been harassed here once , well , they just look and that's ok by me .

Anyway , come see the booty below . 

Accessorising weekend

Remember this Stefy jacket I got from Guess ?

Bohemian duo

Vintage , gypsy , hippie , Boho or Bohemian .....depending on how one sees it , this is my favourite kind of costume jewellery .

Been wanting a proper knuckle ring for some years already and yes I finally found not one but two

Earrings large and small

Been getting dressy again .

As a result , I've dragged my small stash of earrings out to wear . Some  are quirky , some diy-ed , most of them are gypsy like .

Show you two first and will post up whenever ( or if I ever feel like it )

1. Personal favourite of mine is one I diy-ed on my own . I put together one dollar store earring with two dollar store keychain metallic doll shoes . Yanked out the large hoop and inserted the smaller earring in this way .

Chunky eagle wraparound cuff bangle

Huge fan of chunky , bold jewellery I am .

Got a few clasp bracelets stashed away , this being the latest most costly addition of them all .

Join 2 necklaces into 1 with

Found a very lovely looking flower necklace at Daiso yesterday .

After I removed it from the pack and put it round my neck , I found it too short for my liking , thus I strapped it round my wrist and walked around a bit before I went back and purchased a second piece .
