My Ring Collection

A little different kind of post today (: Lately, I've been obsessed with rings. So much that I have my own little collection! And so, I thought I would share it with you guys! (: Don't worry, it's not THAT picture heavy because I combined categorised the rings into a collage (:

Excuse the many pictures featuring my hand :P

I keep my rings in this tortoise-shell box that my aunt gave me for Christmas (:

Both from Diva

I love my double rings. Although it reduces mobility in your fingers, I think they're very pretty (:

My favourite is the gem stone + flower one on the left! Although the boom box one is pretty edgy

Couldn't think of a better name for these so... on to my more 'daintier' rings (:

Top left: This one is actually what someone people would call a 'mood' ring as it's meant to change colour according to one's mood. But what my sister and I have discovered due to experiments, it changes colour based on temperature. So if you put it in the fridge, it turns black :P Hardly wear this, but I like it nonetheless. Aren't the moon and stars pretty? (:

Top right - boutique in Malaysia: I love this ring. It's so small and dainty and just so cute. I play the piano so I guess this has some meaning :P

Bottom left - Bonita: Just a simple letter 'Y' ring cause my name starts with a Y

Bottom right - given by Dad: I'm a Catholic so this is a rosary ring that my Dad gave me to count the beads. He has one too!

Top left - Forever 21: The bow is a bit big, but I think it's a nice touch (:

Top right - Forever 21: Not sure if you can see, but there are rhinestones along the ring band. I love the mint colour of the rose.

Bottom left - boutique in Malaysia: A pink poodle made up of little pink rhinestones!

Bottom right - boutique in Malaysia: I just found this adorable (:

I love vintage rings. They have this certain aura about them and they come in such  awesome designs! I hope to expand my collection of vintage rings!

Top left - flea market in Vietnam: How awesome is this starfish ring? It's super unique and I love how it just sits and clings on to the finger (:
Top right - flea market in Vietnam: A little hard to tell, but it's meant to be a mouse since I was born in the year of the mouse via the Chinese Zodiac calendar. And because I thought it was very cute (:
Bottom left - boutique in Vietnam: I really like this fox ring because again, it's different and I like how it extends along the finger.
Bottom right - boutique in Vietnam: Another rose ring, but this time in a more vintage-y copper bronze which brings a nice touch to an outfit (:
------------------------------------------
I love rings. They're like finger candy - if that makes sense :P And they can compliment any outfit very easily! I applaud you if you've come this far along the post!
Do you have any favourite rings? Would you like to see any of my other jewellery collection (i.e necklace; bracelets...)?

Thriftin' & Haulin'

Every weekend, there's a small flea market (?) next to this shopping mall (picture above!) near my place and would you believe it, this was my first time going! 
There are tons of small stalls and they sell the cutest things - clothes, accessories, makeup (although I would advise against buying them cause they could be fake), shoes etc. that I wanted to get EVERYTHING! But of course I couldn't, so here are some things that I did buy (:

Crochet lace shorts VND 100,000 (US$4.71 or £3.14)

These shorts turned out quite beigey pink...but they're actually a cream/off white colour!
I don't have anything like this so I'm definitely excited to wear them! I think these are perfect for summer - somehow, crochet always scream 'summer' for me - with a flowy top with sandals :D 

Crochet/lace crop top VND 90, 000 (US$4.23 or £2.83)

This top is actually not that cropped as it reaches just beyond my belly button. I especially love the detailing on this top and it can be a cute bikini cover up or a layering piece... there are endless possibilities since it's so versatile!

Crochet vest - VND 50,000 (US$2.35 or £1.55)

I promise this is my last crochet item! :P Again, another summer-y piece and a good layering piece as well! I can wear this over a maxi or sun dress or even over a simple tank top and shorts to jazz things up a little (:

Striped top - VND 120, 000 (US$5.64 or £3.80)

The material is super light and flowy which is perfect for keeping cool in the heat! Could be another cover up or paired with shorts or a skirt! I also love the tied knot at the front which gives it a little something-something (:

This blouse actually makes me think of Bananas in Pajamas (have you guys ever watched that show?) so pair this with bright yellow jeans and I think I can be their honorary member :P Hehehe

Circle/Skater Skirts: VND 110,000 each (US$5.17 or £3.48)

My favourite purchase! There were many designs of these skirts but those two were my favourite and I couldn't pick just one! So I bought two :P
The one on the left is a nice golden tan colour and the material is actually quite velvety!
The one on the right is made of black faux leather material which makes it quite light and nice to wear and I've always wanted a leather skirt! (:

 They flare out which can give illusion of curves or hide unsightly bumps. I think that both skirts can be dressed up or down very easily!

Leopard printed skirt: VND 90, 000 (US$4.23 or £2.83)

This skirt can be worn high waisted and again, it's super flowy since it's made out of chiffon material. It skims the hips and the neutral colour and light fabric is perfect for summer! I can imagine it flowing with the wind :P 

Since I'm not that big on attention grabbing print, this would be a great way to subtly incorporate the leopard print trend.

They had an amazing selection of jewellery (most handmade I think...) that I wanted to leave with everything but since I couldn't, I chose some (:

Studded headband: VND 40,000 (US$1.88 or £1.27)

 How cool is that headband? I think this can be easily DIYed (I must try!) but it was quite cheap so why not? This will definitely edge up any outfit and be a nice hair accessory when your hair is feeling a little plain (:

Top: Starfish ring // Bottom: Mouse ring - VND 25, 000 each  (US$1.18 or £0.79)

 They had so many vintage-y type rings there that were so cute! So I picked up two to add to my ring collection which I'm always on the hunt for and am hoping to expand cause you can never have too many rings - if you want me to show you my ring collection, do comment below!

I thought the starfish ring was super unique and so cool! It is definitely a statement piece for your fingers and I just love how it wraps around the finger - different from a standard ring.

I was born in the year of the mouse/rat so naturally I had to get that ring which is very cute and dainty (:

So overall, I got really good bargains! In my opinion, flea markets are the best place to pick up bargains and you can even negotiate! Double win!
