(anybody see the glitter in the shadow? that's my failure at trying to have a neat photo.)

Remember when i said i was to acquire at least one gorgeous thing a week? This was mine from last week.  

There i sat, just in my room, looking at my weak collection of rings. I want mooooore. I need mooooore. Then i got a little package sent from one of my grandmothers. She's big on the gaudy jewelry. I sifted through and found this little stunner. Isn't it cute? The garnet (my birthstone), the little blue stones, oh i just fell in love. and to think, i got it for free! So that's my gorgeous thing from last week. This week i haven't really been shopping or anything.. But since my birthday is next week, maybe I'll receive something gorgeous. 

On another side note, i'm heart-wrenchingly close to 50 followers. Expect at least 3 giveaways in the future: 
1) A certain little layout giveaway from a darling lady named Ella Press
2) A birthday giveaway -- I really don't enjoy the holidays, but i go all out for birthdays. And for my birthday, i'm planning on going thrifting and antiquing a little. And, one lucky reader (or maybe two, or three, depends on what i find!) will get something wonderful.
3) A 50 followers giveaway! It'll be in a while, after I hit 50 of course.

But just expect some things for you all! And i know that i've been a poor blogger, but after exams are through (i have them in a week or two) and after my school's musical auditions (i've been trying to prepare for these since the school year started -- It's Guys & Dolls, a favourite of mine, and i want the part of Adelaide so badly. I know i won't get it, but i might as well give it my all.) I'll be a lot less stressed and have some more free time.

Once again i just want to thank the wonderful followers and even the non-followers who gave me such wonderful strength and feedback on my first meet me post. I know i sound like a broken record/bad greeting card, but it means a lot. 

After i get off my lazy ass, there will be outfits. Among other things..

  2. Right now I am going through a lemonade obsession, but orange juice is probably much healthier than that. Good luck with everything!

  3. Wow, I love that about orange juice! How interesting. Orange is my favorite color, but I wouldn't wear it because it wouldn't suit me, but I can't wait to see it on you! Also, that ring is GORGEOUS !

  5. I read this, and remembered that I forgot to tell you that I liked your orange skirt when you were wearing it the other day. So... I like your orange skirt :)
    Love, Ella (Ogburn Konefal, in case you know any more Ellas.)

  10. I was popping by because your comment on my MCR-entitled post made me giggle so much (that album is so fricking good, I could explode) and ended up sticking around. Your blog is just so lovely! It's so nice finding new blogs that are not just a collection of pretty pictures but are funny, well-written and interesting too. Go you!

    I love that ring. And, true story, I love oranges and hate orange juice. WHAT ARE THE ODDS.

  11. That ring is amazing! I bet it truly catches the light when you wear it, a real show stopper?
    Oooh and good luck with the exams, I know how terrible they can be, but it's worth it in the end. ..Well that's what I keep telling myself anyway.

    :)

  14. Well there's another thing we have in common, love for orange juice! (And not oranges). It has to be the good kind though, not the watered down kind. Yes I am an orange juice snob. :)
    Good luck in the Guys and Dolls audition! You'd be a perfect Adelaide and I'm not just saying that.

  20. oh wow I literally love this blog so much! I love rings like this but I always loose them when I take them off for violin practise (tragic..) x

  21. That's such a pretty ring! And I rather dislike orange juice but I force myself to drink it occasionally (that occasion usually being when I'm sick hehe) just because I know it's very beneficial to my health. But OJ reminds me of summer and oh my gosh I want summmer sooo badly right now!
