Initial Rings

[ 28 June 2007 ]

Okay, I know it’s been a bit serious around here… so let’s pick it up a little, shall we?!

Today I received a package from Girlprops containing rhinestone initial rings! I ordered a set in gold & a set in silver… & I loooove them…

Girlprops initial rings

What do you think? I’m totally smitten. If I ever forget my name, poof! It’s right there! (If I was violent I might be psyched to imprint my name on someone’s forehead, but I’m not.)

Oh, & do you like my new (to me) Lacoste sweater? Thanks Ebay!

Have you bought anything recently which sends you into ecstasy?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. You look gorgeous in those pictures! The purple sweater looks great with your hair.

    And those rings remind of the tattoos that some people get. Hahaha. :) Very cute, though.

  2. wow. you’re like a hip-hoppin’ r&b star. i would love to get me some of those… but then i’ve got 5 letters to my name and if i wear one on my thumb then the word won’t really join together. aha.

  3. i heart those rings! very gangsta ;)

    my latest ecstacy purchase was my pink glo-mesh dress! $20 from the Salvo’s. original price was $481 because it’s Charlie Brown / Princess Charlotte.
    it’s short and sparkly but so freezing cold to wear!

  4. I am MAD THUGGIN’! Haha. This fantastically cute girl from the UK who comments here often, Sophie, is going to send me a blingin’ dollar-sign multi-finger ring & I am sooo excited. I could hang out with Jay-Z!

    gilda — You could always get something else… like “PLUR”. Just kidding! “CAKE” or “GLEE” or “DIOR”, like Carrie Bradshaw ;>

  5. Ohh those rings are SOO cute!
    I could always shorten “Jamie” to “JME” and buy some. =]

    Hm. I may have to do that…

  6. they’re adorable and all blingy!

    i just bought a teal silk/cotton coat – its skirt is gathered at the waist so i can twirl! – a matching 50’s swing dress from an opshop for $3, sparkly aqua legwarmers, and a pink gingham 50’s swimsuit from eBay … i’ve been visiting my mother since i had my wisdom teeth out and that usually results in an entirely new wardrobe :) together, we are demoniacal shoppers …

  7. I’ve just bought an original 60’ cocktail dress, black and quite simple (i don’t ususally wear dresses) waiting for it now. Cost me a whole £1.21 on ebay. Oh and found a 70’s bowling shirt with Alice embroidered on it, so giving that to my sister for part of her birthday present (she’s only 9) so it won’t fit her for a while. The other thing rocking my world, is my blue dunlop trainers!! Love the Jumper Gala. xx

  8. Lord, you are cute! That second picture makes me want to take you home and keep you for a pet.

  9. Ooooohh, pretty AND violet!! Bling-tastic. :D

    I’m currently vibing a pure silk coffee coloured dress that I bought off eBay..it’s odd, but nice. And it feels so pretty when I stroke it. :)

  10. Great sweater – that colour looks lovely pn you.

    I recently bought a new pair of jeans. I happen to think they make my ass look fantastic, so naturally this fills me with joy, and GADs (Great Ass Days).

  11. dior!!! hahah!! i’ll think about that!!

    i haven’t bought any new clothes but i have bought some new lace and fabric… and as weird as it might sound, i’m all excited about what i’m gonna make with it.

    <3 gilda · Jun 28, 03:24 PM · #

  12. My lovely boy bought me a new Hello Kitty watch the other day, via ebay and it’s lovely and big and bling-y!

    Your ring/rings are magnificent! Girlprops is wonderful, it’s just a shame that shipping to the UK is so expensive.

  13. I totally dig the rings. :]
    And I’m loving the sweater, it accents your hair pefectly!

    <3 The Happy Hippie · Jun 28, 05:47 PM · #

  14. The sweater looks so cozy! I am in a new scarf craze. I bought two long, fringey scarves: one royal blue, and one is bone colored.:)

  15. i didn’t actually buy anything (have to save my money for shopping in paris this summer!) but my mother dug up a pair of her old sunglasses & gave them to me. i love love LOVE them!

  16. I recently picked up a few things at the thrift store that are prompting me to put them on a few times every day, even though it’s way out of season for them. First, a perfectly fitted navy blue 1950s dress with a simple but still the lovliest bodice. Then, two vintage wool skirts (which only need one minor repair between them), one from Celine in burnt orange and one from Pendleton in a gorgeous bright blue. Finally, a short, 1950s style jacket, made with a mide collar in lovely silky japanese material, much like one I’ve been drooling over for ages. It’s like paroxysms of joy whenever I try them on, or even see them..

  17. Oh so so cute.

    I’ve bought a watch (first photo on www.ohdarling.net.nz) that I love because it’s a little bit deco. And a snake ring (a replica of a roman ring from thousands of years ago) that curls silverly around my right-ring-finger and protects me from the evil eye!

  18. You should get a set that says “cupcakes” and wear them on both hands. :-D

    I recently bought a vintage white organdy cocktail dress—spaghetti straps, fitted bodice, and a tutu-like skirt. It has pale purple and sea green embroidery all over it. It needs to be altered a little, so I can’t really wear it until I get that done, but I’m super-stoked about it.
    Also, I was leaving work this weekend and happened upon a street fair in midtown Manhattan, and I ended up getting several pairs of big, pretty earrrings for under $3 a pair.
    And finally, I was rooting through a sale rack an found a silk-satin cocktail dress in pale green, purple, and pink. It’s sort of a-line, but with a ruffle around the bottom, and a square neck and an empire waist. It’s so bright and fun, and it puts me in a good mood to wear it.

  19. oh adorable rings! too bad my name is far to long to shorten.
    I bought new shoes, underwear, and a ton of fabric (I’m making my summer clothes this week) today! I’m excited! I also bought a video game to neutralize the girliness of the whole day… but I’m a little embarrased about that part.

    <3 lalumiere · Jun 28, 09:36 PM · #

  20. ee! so cute. i would get some but a. my name is six letters long and b. i don’t like it very much…o well! also, I WILL SEND OFF YOUR RING SOON! i’m sorry it’s taken me so long, i’ve had exams all over the place, but they’re finished today and i am free for three months :3
    xoxo

  21. I LOVE those rings! They look sort of cheap on the GirlProps website, but in your pictures they look very nice. :)
    I want them in my initials now!
    And the color that your hair’s faded into is gorgeous . . . I love how it matches your sweater! :D

    <3 Valerie · Jun 28, 10:57 PM · #

  22. Ha! Love, love, love the lovely rings! Believe it or not I had never been to the Girlprops site before, I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on all that fab cheap jewelry! I haven’t bought anything recently-attempting to save money:(- but recently I dug out all the broaches I hadn’t worn in a year or two and started pinning them in my hair(with the help of some bobby pins). I like to think of them as really ornate, glitzy hair clips. I may look like a mental grade schooler with a passion for rhinestones, but I like to think it adds some interest to my otherwise boring hair:)

  23. Gala, I can’t comment to the Vegas post, it won’t let me, I get to preview, then I hit submit and just get the 404 error message after that.

  24. I bought stage-side tickets to see The Rolling Stones in August… I may have to sell my kidney now in order to have enough money to survive until then, but by God it’ll be worth it :)

  25. i want to buy pretty much everything off girlprops but they dont ship to new zealand :(

    <3 sarah · Jun 29, 01:22 AM · #

  26. I just bought a pair of Chie Mihara shoes! I will post them on my blog tomorrow. They are pretty and plum.

    <3 Gina · Jun 29, 03:28 AM · #

  27. yesterday my pockets were heaving with change so I went to the emporium and emptied them in search of shiny things. I think my favourite score is the spanish-language hello kitty (knock off) stickers, they’re pink and have miss kitty pimped out as a caberet act complete with peacock feather trim.

  28. So cute! Wish I had a 4 letter name!

    <3 ambika · Jul 1, 12:32 AM · #

  29. Sarah – Girlprops does ship to New Zealand, according to their website. It’s just pretty expensive and it takes a long time. :(

    <3 Valerie · Jul 1, 02:22 AM · #

  30. valerie – it must have changed since last time i looked. thanks :)

    <3 sarah · Jul 2, 01:28 AM · #

  31. SO cute! I want the rings, myself.

    I just bought a Sidekick (hee, a hacked one) for use in NZ, though it won’t be completely functional. AND my brother has paid 75% of the cost of a new Fujifilm finepix 6500fd for me for my birthday (late present!) and is sending it from good olde Englande. Exciting!

    <3 Kat · Jul 4, 02:10 PM · #

  32. THATS SO CUTEEEE!! Hey, just out of curiosity, what kind of name is Gala?? Does it mean something? Or are you just one of a kind ;)

    i found this really old pin that came with this horrid shirt i had when i was a wee child and it look superbbbb in my hair. Its a rhinestone dragonfly :)

    <3 mouse · Aug 23, 05:45 AM · #
