heavy metal












All jewelry from a random little shop in L.A. that sells Indian wares

A peak at some new jewelry acquisitions...these were the ones I immediately thrust on..the rest are still sitting in their boxes waiting to be pet.

They are definitely my new bff's. We're gonna have such a great summer together. Can't wait to introduce them to my maxi dresses and watch in awe as they amp up my more casual outfits such as simple jeans and t-shirts. And apparently the ring/bracelet hybrid (called "slave bracelet" because the ring is a slave to the bracelet) double as anklets. That's going to make lounging at home, barefoot in the summer, a lot lovelier.

P.S. Having your arms adorned with new jewelry makes blogging so much better...I really recommend you try it. :)

Kandace said...

Indian jewelry is so beautiful. I haven't worn an anklet in years but I've totally been wanting one. As for improving the blogging experience, I just might have to try that out.

i love the jewlery!! i LOVEEEE indian bangles! i used to indian dance *embarassment* because my friend coerced me into joining her dance group at school and the best part was wearing indian jewelry and clothing!!!

I know you interviewed bloggers before but can we "apply" for them in any way? or ... do we just get lucky? lol.

(i know its a really stupid question - but i loveeee reading your interviews)

Marcella said...

You have such delicate and feminine hands - perfectly manicured nails!

Anika said...

I adore Indian jewellery, so much so that whenever anyone I know visits India all I ever ask for is jewellery :)

That 'slave bracelet' is amazing. I can just see it va-va-vooming an outfit.

Have a lovely day bella.

Hannele said...

Sweet collection, Nina.
I must admit, I've been looking at more bangles and bracelets lately. I agree that nothing revs up an outfit like a little something on the wrists. Now if I can just forget they're there :)

Mare P said...

these are amazing! wish i had them!

Raych said...

Oh I love!! I just recently purchased a similar bracelet on eBay and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival.

Search "slave bracelet" on eBay and you will find tons of choices at pretty good prices :)
