All That Glitters~ Jewelry Haul and a little something extra from Trinity Styles [Sponsored]

Yay, new goodies from Trinity Styles! I honestly love TS because I've come to expect quality clothing and accessories from their store and I always know they have something cute and/or unique in stock. Plus, there's always a passion and excitement driving it that in turn makes me super pumped when I see they have new items in store~

This time around, I want to showcase a more glamorous side of what Trinity Styles sells: Sparkly statement jewelry!

 First item is the Jeweled Earring Cuff [found here] I've had ear cuffs before but never one that connected to an ear piercing! It's so cool, I spent a good few minutes so intrigued by it! I've seen them before in magazines and online but I've never owned one before so I was pretty excited by it~ The stones are so shiny and big and really grab ones attention, everything was well made and put together and it's very secure~

 So, how the cuff works is that there's an ear piercing thingamajig at the bottom that you put in like a normal earring and then at the top is the ear cuff which you slide to the ridge on your upper ear. It sits very comfortably and feels secure but isn't very tight that it's uncomfortable or pinching.

 I love it! I actually wore it out with a very casual outfit; black leggings and a grey top. Kind of leaving it as a piece that dressed up my outfit and elevated the styling.
Though, I WISH I had an all white outfit [which I've seen was a big trend this summer], cause it would look killer paired with white cigarette jeans and white crop top with like, red ballet flats or white platforms.... Even a little black dress would be a good offset to it!

 The next item is this gorgeous vintage pearl necklace [similar items here]

 The necklace is wonderfully made thought I did have one stone pop up, but that's just something that can happen via transit but no big deal, a little drop of glue and that baby is back on and won't come off, no worries. A sturdy clasp holds the necklace together and I haven't had any issues with it, even when I tugged my hair from it later in the evening, didn't break on me, so it passes that test haha;; The stones are very shiny and because of the black gems, it give the necklace a more edgy and younger vibe.

 I didn't expect when I put it on how 'sexy' and 'sultry' it looked. It looks very classy as a statement piece especially over a white maxi dress like I paired it with first, but when I put it paired with a little black dress the whole look of the necklace changed which was pretty awesome. [especially with the red lip!]

I found my favourite night on the town look!

 Oh how I love sparkly things and Trinity Styles!

DIY tattoo tights~

Oooh la la, I'm loving this trend right now but I wondered how to make some custom pairs for myself... Well, I figured it out and want to share how to make your ouwn custom DIY tattoo stockings!

 What you will need:

Card board

Tape

Stockings [I preffer nude]

Fabric markers

An idea

 Step 1. Take the card board and roll it into a decent sized cylinder and tape it well

 Step 2. Draw a design onto the cardboard OR print out a picture or design and tape it on the cardboard.

 [optional if the pair is for you] put the stockings on and mark on them where you want the design to go then remove them.

Step 3. Gently roll the stocking leg onto the cylinder into place and with the fabric marker trace and colour the design on the stocking

 Step 4. Let sit for at least an hour the using a hair dryer, heat the design well to set it but be careful not to melt the nylons.

That's it~ Super easy and unique way to accessorize your outfit!

Don't forget to have fun and to be creative with it!

So, as you guys know I LOVE shopping for Korean and Japanese clothing. The only way I know to obtain those fashion is to purchase it online.

I'm pretty sure, I may be queen, if not princess, of buying things online.

Well, let me tell you I have found a great store that holds Korean and Japanese fashions, and when I say Japanese fashions, they have a good handful of Japanese gal brands and brand look alikes, which make me really happy!

The shop that I am talking about, is called, Trinity Styles who has a webshop and a facebook shop.

Trinity was kind enough to gift me a product of choice and even added on a super adorable bag with it!
Let me just say, not even 2 weeks after the item was decided on and ordered, it was on my door step! So, unlike ordering direct from Asia, it doesn't take 3+ weeks to get to you, well, at least for me as I live in California USA.

 The MercuryDuo bag is a really cute hand bag with floral print and is perfect for summer. I can't wait to use it to the beach or for days strolling around the park~

My item of choice was the 'Oui Princess Dress' item for purchase here

Oh my goodness, the quality is really nice, and unlike some dresses I buy for a similar price on ebay, it doesn't fall apart at the seams instantly.... [trust me, it's happened a good amount of times... -___-;]

The stitching is secure and the fabric is really nice quality and exactly like the picture on the site!

When I saw the dress in person, I thought that it was the perfect amusement park/state fair dress and so I decided to wear it when my friends invited me to go to the fair with them.

 I was actually really surprised when people kept complimenting me on my dress and saying it was really pretty! One lady taking tickets for a ride actually stopped me to point out that I looked really classy and asked where I got my dress. I was honestly very shocked and pleased by the reactions I got~
So please pardon me while I camwhore in the dress...

 I paired the dress with  a cute necklace with eyeglasses on them, some gold bangles, a pearl watch, a simple bow ring and a pair of cream sandals. I also dug out my mum's old mint hand bag to follow the mint and pink trend that I've been noticing in my magazines<3

 The detailing on the skirt. Can I mention that this was the main reason I fell in love with the dress?  Well, it is. I really like the ruching, like, a lot!

 I like to think that the cut of the dress is flattering on me, not to mention that it's one size fits most, and I'm roughly a US size 6, so I was really happy to get a dress that works on my body shape and size.
Also, I should mention here that before ordering, please take your measurements to compare to the ones listed with the clothing item, just to be on the safe side~

Now, let me tell you guys some exciting news~ Trinity Styles is now an affiliate with my page!

Summer Fashion Inspiration~

Note: I really should invest in photoshop so I can collage these images in a pretty way...
Anyways, here are some 'coordinates' and ideas in recent issues of Happie Nuts and Skawaii that I found inspiring for summer<3

 Showing a hint of shoulder or decolletage is in this season.

  Or instead of baring your upper body, showing a hint of leg instead is another point.

 I also love how cute masculine is mixed this season. In the same way casual is thrown in there makes it look so effortless~

 ^^random note, I love the lyrics on the side... HAHA<3

 I also am in love with how they threw in the cross trend with the pastel girly look! The grey is such a great touch without over shadowing the whole outfit!

Mint pumps and denim jacket on top of a screen tee and white denim shorts! I'm loving it!

 Also, the plus size gal on the run way made me really happy! Girl can werk it!

AND... Amazing hair inspiration~

I really want to embody these styles this season and hopefully they'll transfer beautifully into late summer and fall!

Also... I want to throw some links at you to where I purchase clothing, both online and in store.
