Bangles and Earrings Galore!

Like my dear friend, Melissa, I too have a thing for accessories. My weakness is bangles and earrings. I absolutely love them and can't stop buying or wearing them.

My love for bangles started when I was introduced to Bollywood several years back. The gorgeous outfits accompanied by beautiful bangles...how could I not love them?? They are a perfect addition to any outfit...whether casual or dressy. Not only do my friends fuel my accessory obsession by buying me more and more bangles, but I even went so far as to borrow (aka never give back) some of my sister's wedding bangles. I mean, she doesn't need them anymore right?

Here are a few photos to bring my bangle obsession to life.  I don't have that many!

 

I love earrings as much as I love bangles. I always say the bigger the better too! When Melissa and I went to Chicago in November we both bought around 15 pairs of earrings...and we both have awesome taste, since we mainly picked out the same ones. Like bangles, earrings can jazz up an outfit, so obviously you can never have enough earrings. I have so many now, that I had to purchase the very cool, Little Black Dress accessory holder from Umbra. I still have a few empty slots though...guess that means I can go shopping!

Accessorize, y'all!

A few posts ago I disclosed my weakness: my dress obsession.   Although I do profess that whenever I go shopping, my eyes are immediately drawn to any frilly, fabulous, flirty and foxy dress on any rack, I have found myself straying to the shiny and sparkly world of accessories!


In Montreal a couple of weekends ago, my friend Steph and I were shopping the boutiques up and down Saint Laurent, and I found myself drawn to a purse that was basically bedazzled with skulls. Yes, you read right...skulls!  After picking it up and putting it down a few times, we actually left the store...shopped a little more and grabbed a crepe...but then happened back upon the store.  Obviously, it was fate's way of saying that I had to purchase the purse.  Afterall, who else would be rawking a skull purse?

I actually was a lot more compelled to get the purse because of this little bling that I recently acquired from a store in Yorkville.

Today was another fabulous accessory day because I finally received my Blackberry Shake from helloberry inc.  I love, love, love this bracelet and am also pumped that the bracelets are made by a local Toronto designer.  I even got a few more mini shakes for good measure!

So, how are y'all accessorizing lately?  Any baubles you've purchased that you just want to share?  Tell us about your finds.
