So, I am back as promised for the last post for the year 2011. The month of December just wooshed past, seems like A perfect hangover and I don't know what all happened in this month. The highlight of this month was: I GOT ENGAGED. After 4 years, we finally took the big step not exactly a big step....at least the first baby step towards MARRIAGE!!. Now I have perfect excuse for staying up in my room after office. :P. 

The diamond earring is a gift by my to be in laws. Of course, they know about my love for earrings and they decided to gift this gorgeous pair. No complaints:D Owning a diamond stud was part of 30  things to do before 30 from here but, then now I am proud owner of one without sweating it out. I am still planning to keep the point intact cause 2 diamond studs doesn't hurt does it?:D




On a random note, violetbag.com is spoiling me rotten. Every week me and my mates end up spending our hard earned cash on cosmetics. Thanks violetbag for bringing up awesome brands at discounted price. Online shopping is so much fun. For this month, I got myself a Lakme aqua shine gloss in sand, Maybelline eye studio pencil in silver and gold, Colossal kajal and  Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color Shade Reds Magnetic Coral (In transit). 

Have an awesome year ahead guys. See you next year...My resolution for the year 2012: To make the blog "Girl with A pearl Earring"  bigger and better than that in 2011.

Introducing Sheena and her Jhumkas

Presenting these gorgeous jhumkas courtesy, my fantabulous work-mate :Sheena. The girl , have to admit has a good taste and these jhumkas are a steal for 350 bucks. I myself own few pairs of jhumkas and adding to the growing list is an ethnic gold pair gifted to me by my to-be-in laws during my engagement. Will feature them soon along with my engagement earrings and two other gifted earrings. It's raining earrings this month I guess. I would probably do a post tomorrow so this would be my official second last post for this year.

Channelling Chanel!!!!

I have this thing for pretty fashion mags. I religiously buy em every fortnight, every month or even every week, turn through the pages, enjoy the colorful pic, take in the price tag with a smile, update myself on latest trends and throw them to my ever growing stack of mags. Most of the mags are hard to come by and this lady near the bus stand knowing my obsession with fashion mags stocks most of the popular ones. You should see the way her face lights up when I visit her shop. Every time I visit the book shop I return back with my hands full. My dad feels that it's a waste of time and money but, I beg to differ. These mags not just tempt you with high end labels but also publish some good articles. Mags like Marie Claire and Femina has something special for those who are least bothered about trends and fashion be it cookery, relationship advices, health advices and stories of REAL women!!!!. Even after all these I like mags to be closer to reality and that may be one reason why I am not a big fan of vogue. I know high end labels are every girls dream but a price tag of 2 lakhs for an ordinary bag is little hard to chew. One of those days when I was visiting the good old shop, I saw a black and white ad of CHANEL!!! at the back of this magz. The ad screamed classiness and I had to buy it (VOGUE) though I know that I don't have much use for this particular magazine.

This particular gold earring encrusted with semi precious stones is a gift from dad's best friend from Rajasthan. I love how royal the earring looks against the Chanel ad. It's one of my favorite pieces purely because it was gifted with so much love.
