| So I hadn’t actually heard of Secrets Shhh before the event, the idea is that it’s moderately priced jewellery which have simulated stones. So very pretty, fancy stuff but not so expensive that I couldn’t afford to shop there :D
Bling!
And so fancy in fact that there was a guy there serenading us with his guitar…
The new collections that we previewed were super colourful…
My favorites were still the pearls and pink bling though!
  
I had way too much fun trying things on…
We even picked out engagement/wedding rings hahaha no pressure James :P
Look at these gigantic earrings, my hair is everywhere but they’re still so big they shine through *_* Great photo bomb by Celina hahaha!
The backs were little hearts, so cute!
Miss Photobomber tried on some really pretty bracelets:
 
Also, this is the best reaction ever to my nails, how cute is she?! All of the staff working were so sweet and accommodating to let us play with things! I didn’t get a photo but she had gorgeous make up too, her eyes matched the necklace she was wearing!
My absolute favorite photo of the night, this is the lovely owner, she was telling us about the philosophy behind the store, that beautiful jewellery shouldn’t cost the earth.
She also told us about some of the past customers including a real Princess who bought out half the store *_* I’m so jealous!
  
I was also way too amused with the idea of this wall, it’s made of magnet tiles so you can change it as often as you want! I WANT THIS IN MY HOUSE!!
So yes, awesome night! The jewellery was so beautiful and it was fun to see such beautiful jewellery in prices that I could actually afford :D
 
They gave us gift bags and the owner was so nice to give James one too, it was such a lovely thought!
Inside were these beautiful blingy earrings, a special jewellery travel bag and the best thing ever: CHOCOLATE! Oh yes, bling and chocolate are a very quick way to my heart hahaha!
Thank you to Secrets Shhh and Torstar for putting on such a fancy and lovely event and thank you to Celina for inviting me!
Now for a complete change of pace, a few weeks ago we spent the day out with Kim to go to a huuuuge yarn store near her place that was having a sale… but mostly so I could play with her beautiful kitties!
Oh yes, yarn, kitties, bling and chocolate in one snapshots post haha!
I wanted to take them home with me ;_; Totally the first cats ever that actually loved playing with me too, I think they can all sense I’m a dog person hahaha!
They were so cuddly!!
We had breakfast at a cafe near her place and played with our tamagotchis. Kim only just got hers so we activated it and it became Hat’s younger cousin ;)
The yarn store was awesome, I’ve never been to one that big before!
For the fellow knitters, enjoy the yarn porn ;)
 
My favorite thing that we saw was this tangled ball of yarn advertising that it needed a good home and a pair of patient hands to untangle it XD I find untangling yarn to be SO relaxing so I was very tempted!
Afterwards we went wandering to some other little boutiques and ended up in a button store.
By the end of the day I was totally regretting wearing those shoes XD So pretty but I already had blisters from the day before and this didn’t totally help!
   
So many cute things to buy in that area, it was hard putting it all back! I did end up with a couple of balls of yarn which is terrible because I’m just adding to my stash while I try to get rid of it *_*
One last kitty photo for the road ^_^
What have you all been up to this week? Something fun hopefully? |
Holy carp, $575 for the necklaces is “affordable”? XD;;;;;; I have the wrong job…
Can you imagine how much it would cost if they were natural gems? o.O” *gasp*
Maybe I missed the “.” somewhere in the price tag 8D;;;
XD Those were some of the most expensive pieces in the store, I just have totally expensive taste ;) Everything was around the $80-$200 mark if my memory is right.
OH I love the idea of Secret Shh of having beautiful sparkly things with out costing the earth <3 and omg those cats are so fluffy! I'm a cat AND dog person oh and sparklies and chocolate and de-tangling stuff but now so much a knitting girl ;p
I fell in love with the cats so I think I’m both toooo!
Those cats are absolutely adorable!
They were so fluffy and friendly!
Those earrings you got are really pretty! Those cats are really cute, they look like slightly thinner orange versions of my cat.
Aww you’re so lucky to have cute kitties!
the cats look so fluffy, cute & friendly~! i really love that picture of you looking up at the yarns, it looks cute :D which store was the union jack flag’s pouch from? it looks cute ^^
I’m not sure actually, I’m really bad with remembering things like that sorry XD
KITTIES. WANT WANT WANT <3
My week is spent modifying a tee-shirt to make a cutsew from it~ My friend and I are going out as lolita for kicks and giggles, she's going in a bodyline OP and I'm making my outfit myself~ X3
That sounds like a fun week! Love kitties!
Those cats are so gorgeous! My cat is purring and batting the screen right now…
XD too cute!
Wooow~, such gorgeous pieces!!! You look very cute~:D I’m always amazed how high quality your photos are!!!!!
It’s all James’ hard work :D
What pretty jewelry (is a sucker for jewelry), though it does seem a bit pricey even in the “affordable” range. xD Maybe I’m just used to natural gems being on sale most of the time. I love the kitties. :3 They are just so adorable. Don’t mind my week, it has been nothing but school. xD
I think I just managed to only photograph the pricey things XD I guess I have expensive taste haha! Aww I hope the school stress is over soon!
As usual, my favourite kind of post. Always makes me smile! Good to hear you’re a dog person :-)
Dogs for the win! Very glad you enjoyed reading :D
