The Finishing Touch.

I've never been very good at accessorising outfits. With some people (well, those people frequently featured on Jak and Jil and The Sartorialist), it seems that they can instinctively pick the perfect finishing touches to their outfit. I am not very good at this. Instead of picking classic, "investment" accessories, I look for more unusual pieces - even if these means buying brooches featuring green plastic kangaroo heads, necklaces with an anatomically correct heart, and rings that take up the entirety of my finger. Since I finally have space in my room to display them all, I thought I'd share my favourites with you.

I love the skinny gold bracelet in the fourth pic! Where did you find it?
And I much prefer fun jewellery over investment pieces:D

Looovvvveee the heart necklace! Your room looks like a place that you have made totally your own. It is so nice to be sorrounded by beautiful things you love! My partner and I just moved and Our room doesn't feel totally 'us' yet. I miss that!

cute! I love that cassette tape badges :)
i'm like you, i like buying fun quirky rings and brooches rather than things that will 'match' outfits. i think that makes dressing up more fun!
