Fine multiple rings

Posted on by

This is a time when I don’t think  about new summer clothes anymore but, at the same time, I don’t really want to go into winter ones either.

That’s when I try to find alternatives, not consciously, but I guess my brain is always looking for something to do with fashion (my passion!).

So, now I am a little obsessed with finding these:

Fine rings

Fine multiple rings….

I am not sure how one goes about finding them though, I have seen similar versions on sites but I want to try them on, I want to purchase them in an actual shop, you know, one you actually step in, touch things, try them on!! I have tried where I live but they don’t even know what I am talking about… rather small place where and I guess trends arrive once in the rest of the world they are over… But, I am at present in a bigger town so I think I will try here.

There is another reason I haven’t bought them on-line, my favourite sites only have cheap ones, and, as I am a lazy person, I don’t want to have to take them off in order to enter the shower because otherwise they will become tarnished…Anyway, I do like and want something made out of gold or al least silver.

Off I go, in search of them! Will update if I find anything.

Collars

Posted on by

I know now isn’t really the time to speak about collars, it is far too hot.  I don’t even wear my watch anymore… but

I came across “collars” on Pinterest by chance. I am fascinated by it.

It’s amazing how many different ones there are, how gorgeous, AND the difference they make to a shirt/sweater/dress etc. Whether they are simple, or just the opposite, embellished, an unusual cut, they are all very interesting, I find.

Here are some.. well, lots actually:

Amazed?!? I was, I had no idea there were so many and such beautiful ones!!!!

Did you spot the intruder by the way? I couldn’t resist it… There also may be some that have been put twice…

I especially like the idea of having different detachable collars to wear on lots of different Colin-Firth-Mr-Darcy-Pride-and-Prejudice-colin-firth-16177816-1346-2047clothes. Love the ruffle type with ties, to add as if it were a scarf ( note to self to cut collars from stained or out of favour shirts and perhaps add to them stones or similar ), but I like them all really… Oh, I also love the idea of the shirt’s collar up and a silk scarf wound around it (in or out the actual collar), a bit Mr. Darcy’s! 1800s circa. I have always had a weakness for cravats… I like the string around the put up collar too (see above gallery for all mentioned).

I want to try the haberdashery for a lace detachable collar, even though that won’t be an easy task, tasteful lace is difficult to come about…

 

 

Here’s also a few guides of types of necklines or collars:

I have to wait for Autumn and winter now.
