Etsy Virgin

So I was very excited yesterday when I received my very first purchase from Etsy from a very lovely lady from Smelly Shoes vintage. I am not an online shopper, for some reason it scares me. I like to have something tangible before handing over my credit card information. Well I am pleased to announce that I have lost my Etsy virginity. I love browsing the shops but have never taken the plunge to actually purchase something.
Here's the beautiful vintage silver ring I bought:

 

Since it is now January, my shopping ban is officially over and I can shop, and shopping is what I've done. I will share my lovely purchases with you tomorrow once I have time to take some proper pictures. Until then, enjoy this beautiful day.
If you have any online shopping tips I'd love to hear them.

Accessorize Me

Accessories are my favourite thing to shop for. They're cheap and fun! They can give any outfit a little attitude, or sweeten it up.

I love scarves! I realized yesterday that I have rather large scarf collection. I just added the burnt orange one to my collection from Forever 21. I love the chunky knit and varying cable styles they used.

I also bought this lovely little pom-pom hat from Forever 21 which I look forward to wearing this weekend at our annual Christmas parade.

A peacock feather necklace I bought yesterday as well from Forever 21.

A cheap & fun ring I found at H&M. I have small hands, so although it's oversized, it still fits just below my knuckle.

Some of my other pieces that I always wear are these silver and black beaded bangles (H&M), and this metal cuff. They match everything! (which is why I love them)

I just thought I'd show you one of the ways I like to display my jewelry. Rather than hiding it in boxes, I use this glass dish (candy dish) to hold my most frequently worn items. You get to enjoy them more when you can see them everyday rather just the odd time you wear it.
