{ green with envy } March 31, 2008

Every time I fish out something from my very big bag – a pouch, a wallet, a carryall, my friends will exclaim that it’s green. Again! It seems that, without my conscious choice, I seem to always go for the color green in my accessories and sometimes, in my clothes.

 

It’s an easy to wear color and is often used in vintage fabrics and prints, which I love. Like blue, green is a cool color and has a calming effect. When these 2 hues combine, they echo the harmony of Mother Nature, water and forest. When worn with yellow and black (or white), green gives a outdoor sporty outlook. Purple, with green, is highly contrasting and connotes boldness in character. With neon colors so in season this spring, try it!

Roaming freely in a protected safari, these animals are out to play! Be it your little creatures of the woods, or the majestic wildlife in a tropical rain forest, keep your favorite wooden animal close to your heart as humans storm the earth with much industrialization and deforestation. Just pair it with a simple tree or a plain blouse and you’re good to go!

{ among flowers and butterflies } March 24, 2008

We have always been inspired by Nature, one of God’s many gifts to mankind. Besides animals, films and music, pling has looked to flora and its faithful companion, butterflies, for inspiration. In one of my travels, Rome in particular (of which I’m sharing 2 of my pictures with you here), I was lucky to chance upon a huge garden of lavender in front of Galleria Borghese (a museum) and a tiny garden of wild flowers on a hillside, facing the ancient city.

 

 

Such was the beauty around us! If only we can always find time to stop and admire them…well, at least with these accessories, we can wear them and borrow Nature’s beauty to adorn our everyday lives.

{ little princess } March 17, 2008

There’s always a little princess in all of us, I believe. No matter how weathered we may have become surviving in this societal jungle, we once were (and still are, for some) Daddy’s and Mummy’s little princess. An endearing title that some lovers adopt for their gentler other half.

 

Be it the elegant Princess Di in real life, the gentle Snow White in fairytale land, the sci-fi Princess Leia in Star Wars, or the bubbly Princess Consort in Princess Hours, a girl can most definitely find a princess to identify with…even if it only means imagining being surrounded by bling and donning the much coveted crown!

A chance meeting with 2 interesting brothers from Turkey led me to these rare finds! Individually handcrafted by them from a special copper alloy, these earrings sport unique shapes and are painted by hand. If you love the bohemian look, these earrings are seeped in ethnicity and look great when paired with a long black skirt and a simple, vibrantly colored tank top. And if you are the no-fuss kind of babe, deck these out with your hair up and wear an uncomplicated top for that effortless look.
