I Crave Delicate Gold Necklaces

Monday, June 13th, 2011 | 70 Comments

There was one other thing I bought this weekend!

A short, simple gold necklace + pendant!

Suddenly I really wanted one! I used to only like my long necklaces. Rosaries and such. Or something thick and flashy. Chunky chain links, etc. But lately I wanted something sweet that hit near my collarbone.

I wasn’t sure if it was just a passing fancy so I purchased the star this weekend.

All from style-arena.jp

Best thing about it? $1.50 from Forever21

I know it’ll tarnish soon, won’t last, etc, etc but I need to be sure I really did like the style before buying something pricier. I was thinking under $100 though. Something only gold dipped maybe. I was looking at those Dogeared necklaces at first. Lots of charms to choose from and I tried a few on last weekend.

Something from Jupiter would be a dream! It’s a brand Rinka has worked with for many years. They make simple, sweet pieces mostly. Very beautiful. Rinka has her own line for many seasons now.


Sehr Teuer, ja?! $$$$

But then today I found two gold charms from my childhood!
I’M SO HAPPY! I THOUGHT I LOST THEM!

I knew the chains were long gone. There were two necklaces my grandmother gave me when I was about 13. I was still very, very tom-boyish then and I really didn’t like the necklaces. The chains were extremely delicate and over time I knotted them and broke them. But I can’t believe I held onto the charms! One is a double heart. The other is a kitty.

Now I just need a short gold chain! I’m so happy I found these

Ah so yeah great Monday! I was really productive today, feels good. Though I’m exhausted. So I’ll end it here.

A little bonus shot from today. I wore these two lip glosses all day. Shu Uemura and Melliesh in Baby Doll. I never realized how well they compliment one another. They ended up together in my makeup pouch by coincidence.

I’m wearing Melliesh in Juicy Orange in the above sleepy Sunday pic actually~~ I like Melliesh lip glosses so much

Rinka x Sweet Love T-Shirt

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011 | 83 Comments

I should really change my perspective on the trials and tribulations of having SO MUCH I want to blog about. It’s more of a blessing than a curse probably.  

So a few weeks ago my Rinka x Sweet charity t-shirt I blogged about arrived!  I’m quite pleased~~!! It’s so hard to get Rinka shirts or even Rinka collab items. But because this one had no “sold out” maximum it was easy! The graphic is an iron-on-like image of Sweet’s May Rinka cover:



I was hoping it would fit a bit more, well, fitted. But I wasn’t really expecting it to. There were only 2 sizes made. M and L. So I went with M. Wish they had put out an S but can’t bitch too much. It’s for a good cause and it’s lovely  

Sadly Rinka has disappeared from her blog. Something’s definitely up. Her last real post was in April. Then a month later she posted gratitude for all the concerned emails but that she needed to rest a bit longer. My gut instinct is “pregnant.” I’ve been checking Japanese entertainment news when I can but nothing has come out. Could just be in need of a long break. Her 38th birthday took place during this hiatus.

UPDATE:
SERIOUSLY AS I WROTE THIS IT WAS ANNOUNCED RINKA IS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT!
I knew eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
//end update

So. Yeah. I miss all my Rinka inspo. Not just fashion but her blog always cheered me up. She lives life in such an honest way IMO.  And I get courage from her blog sometimes when I need it.
