Hi, guys!
I know I haven't updated for more than a week, so here's a quick one from my shopping trip today.
I didn't get any good pics of my outfit that day, but I've got some of the accessories I wore.
Deer ring (part of a set): H&M
Cameo ring: Primark
Rhinestone heart cocktail ring: ASOS.com
Love ring: ASOS.com
Please don't nag me about commercialism. I really like Starbucks. I even chose Starbucks as a topic for one of my marketing assignments. I don't drink coffee normally, but if I were to drink it, I would choose Starbucks and only Starbucks.
Here's what I bought today. Well, technically, I only bought the book (for 99p!) and the Cosmo mag (which I don't usually read). The novel is set in 1970s China and I really like reading books like that, so I hope this won't disappoint. I bought the mag just because I wanted to try the Eylure lashes.
You're probably curious to know what's in the Swarovski box. Well, that was a surprise gift from the boyf! *grins*
Swarovski recently teamed up with Sanrio: Hello Kitty and the result is an adorable collection of accessories. News of the collaboration came out in June even though the collection was only available worldwide beginning of August. There wasn't as much hype as I'd thought there'd be except for a couple of bloggers talking about it. I'm not sure about elsewhere, but the Swarovski branch here had the Pirates collection on display at the shop windows. The Hello Kitty collection was quite far in and I would have missed it if I wasn't on the lookout for it. I guess Kitty isn't that big here.
Here's a video of the House of Hello Kitty event by Swarovski.
I'm not usually a big fan of Kitty, but I thought the famous red bow earrings were uber cute. When I saw them in the shops, I totally fell in love! They were even cuter because they were smaller than I had imagined.

What surprised me was that the crystal droplets can actually be removed and the bows can be worn as studs. Perfecto!
I'm so, so happy to have a small piece of Hello Kitty Swarovski.
Did you get anything from this collection?
It is really a surprise that the earrings can be turned into bow shaped studs ! :)))

Oh, the pink ones are lovely! I was torn between this pair and that, but the bf chose the red ones for me :D
ReplyDeleteJoey, I remembered to come back and check this time! haha
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan either but... their collection is just so cute T_T
I SAW that hello kitty collection online and thought it'd be wonderful to get my hands on something but also hard to fork over the money T_T you have such a sweet bf!
ReplyDeleteDid you purposely want something without the hello kitty icon on it? Some might think it's a bit childish, but I guess if I were to get something I'd just go all out and 'childish' and get the kitty face!! =p
I love that necklace!

Aw I recently got a necklace from my mum, but it wasn't from the Hello Kitty collection. I love Swarovski designs! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your accessories that you got! Especially the HK earrings - they're super cute. That's cool how the droplets can be removed too - 2 looks for the price of 1 :)
ReplyDeleteall ur accessories are droolworthy :D
ReplyDeleteThe bows are so cute as stud earrings~!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I always love your accessories. And ditto on Starbucks! I'm a huge coffee drinker, and out of all the chains I have tried, Starbucks has the exact taste I like in a coffee.
ReplyDelete(I feel super silly, I'm still trying to learn how to use your comment section properly! Haha)

Such pretty and cute earrings. It's great that the dangling bit is detachable. So it like 2 earrings rather than just one pair. I bought the cosmo magazine too and the free eyelash was really good-in fact I bought magazine because i wanted the eyelash!
ReplyDeleteNice and cute ring collection you have Joey!! :D
ReplyDeletePlease check out my first giveaway (2 silver chokers!)!
