MAISON MIRU: Cecelia Wreath Giveaway


I don't buy a lot of jewelry.

I know most girls update their collection
every season with new pieces...
but I, well, I just don't.

Maybe you would expect for me to offer
 some cool, understated reason
for this purchasing habit, 
but there's not one to give.

The boring truth is
that I just stick to a few pieces 
and wear them for years
until they literally fall apart on me.

I think I just can't deal with 
a big mess of tangled earrings and necklaces
getting knotted and twisted 
in my jewelry pouch and toiletry bag... 











I knew I wanted to buy it immediately.

It was just too perfect for me to pass up.

I really felt like it was something 
that I could wear with so many different outfits
and would stay fashionable for years.

Plus, at £40- it was way cheaper 
than the other costume pieces 
I had seen at JCrew and elsewhere.

So I bought it,
and I love it as much as I thought I would.

(In fact, I like it more after feeling how heavy & sturdy it is...)


















What do you think?

You think you might like one, too?

Yup. I thought so.

Well, let's make that happen.





















Maison Miru is offering one of you lucky readers
a chance to win the same Cecelia Wreath necklace
that I have and love.

While the line has tons of pieces that I really like...


like this necklace...








or this one....






or these earrings...






this piece stands out to me as just... well, so lovely.

(Yes, I do play favorites.)










Enter below for your chance to win
your very own Maison Miru Cecelia Wreath Necklace.










Winner will be announced next Monday.

You Pretty Little Ring.


I don't have a house to buy a new couch for these days.

I don't have a car to repair these days.

There aren't any bambinos racking up any college funds for me yet.

No sir.

I'm living the gypsy lifestyle of a DINK.

And isn't the right of every vagrant DINK to buy lovely things?

My thoughts exactly...
too bad my husband isn't completely obliging. ;)

Seriously though-
I could pick out several things to suit my fancy on Anjolee.




Pretty diamond earrings for the everyday...

swanky diamond tennis bracelets to make me feel like a lady...

the perfect diamond engagement rings for all my single friends...

and of course, matching diamond wedding ring to match.




Yes ma'am.

Now I'll just have to convince the other side of this DINK relationship
of my indulgent intentions towards our 401k donation this month.




*As much as I truly do love diamonds, it's fair to tell you that this post was sponsored by Anjolee.com.
Anjolee offers amazing prices for jewelry. I like the site & think the prices are fair. This is my own opinion, but I hope you'll consider them the next time you leave a subtle reminder to your husband sitting book-marked as his internet homepage. 


Good Fortune


I'm a bit of a smart alec.

Luckily, my husband isn't phased by this....
honestly, he never has been.

In fact, when were just friends,
I mentioned that he was so cliche-
he would be the type of guy 
that would propose in a fortune cookie.


He rolled his eyes and nodded,
but got me back a few months later ...

... when he proposed to me in a fortune cookie. 

Sigh.

{Our engagement... I still said yes!}

It served me right...
and assured me that he was the perfect guy for me.

Now to commemorate the event,
I get the last laugh.

This cute necklace by jeweler Sydney Evan is perfect.






Oh, and it costs $1100.
{Sorry, babe.}




It looks like fortune has a good sense of humor!


Heart on my sleeve.



Can I tell you all something pretty dark?

Something that I am not sure I have ever muttered aloud?

I am carrying the burden of this secret alone,
and it's time to make it known.

I know many of you might judge me,
discredit me,
and perhaps laugh, but...

I like heart-shaped diamonds.



Yes,
the Anna Nicole Smith of jewelry.

Culture's most laughed at luxury.

I don't know why,
 but the girly side of me goes
gushy for them.

They just look... sweet.

I would love it if
Tyler bought me one.

And now I sit, 
awaiting your judgment.

Friend or faux pas?
