Versailles bracelet


When i saw this bracelet on etsy, it looked like something one of the women at Versailles would have worn a couple hundred years ago, and i knew i had to put it in here. The charm is even an antique, so maybe that's what gave that vibe, lol. either way, it is really pretty. And, it can be dressy or casual, which is always good. very versatile. If you want to look like marie antoinette herself, the best way to start is with accessories, and here is a good way to get started! here's the link! stay cute!

Paris, je t'aime


I was looking on karmaloop and found this waaay cute necklace by alex and chloe! in case anyone doesn't know, paris is one of my favorite cities, so when i saw this i instantly liked it. it's pretty expensive, so i'm waiting for it to go on sale like things on karmaloop usually do. that's one of the great things about that site. it's great. if you love anything parisian, this is the perfect necklace for you! the chain is pretty long, so bear that in mind if you are thinking of buying it. you might want to do like me, and wait for it to go on sale. it's got to...eventually. lol. here's the link! stay cute!

Moulin rouge necklace


This necklace from etsy.com seller onceagainsam's shop just screams ''moulin rouge'' to me. it's really pretty, but simple too. And at $7.00, it's a great price! the seller describes it as ''moulin rouge meets sergeant pepper!'' i think that's cute, but personally it struck me as more moulin rouge,lol. i could totally see french dancers rockin this look at the turn of the last century; very cool. the length is 14'', but the seller can customize it to fit you, just message her your measurment. simple! either way, i REALLY like it a lot, and am hoping to buy it some day soon! if you like it too, here's the link! stay cute!

Set of 3 lace bangles


While looking of etsy.com, in PinkSugarNinja's shop, i found this set of 3 really pretty lace bangles. You get all 3 for $15! awesome! these are so pretty, they look like something out of baroque france, like something Marie antoinette would have worn. AND the lace on one of them is really vintage, so you get that antique feel with them. Cool, huh? i think so. The cool thing about these is that you can dress them up or down; wear them with something dressy, or with something casual. If you like these too, here's the link! get them before the sell out. stay cute!

The pastry cocktail ring


I found this really pretty pastry cocktail ring on etsy.com and thought it was so pretty. it says it's a cocktail ring but i would probably try wearing it all day. but that's just me. Anyways, it reminds me of bakeries in Paris. I think that is what the seller, LaPatisserie, wanted, and that's definitely how it comes across! It's a very pretty, original ring, nobody else will have one like it, that's for sure! The button on it is vintage, which just ups the cool ante. As the seller says, these are fragile and not meant to be worn everyday, so be careful with it if you buy it and handle it with care! here's the link! stay cute!

La Parisienne


I found this really cute necklace on www.etsy.com. It's a little bit expensive at $45, but i just thought it was too interesting looking, to say the least, not to put in here. Everything about it, even the ribbon that it is strung on, is really pretty and eye-catching. In case you don't know what it is, it is a vintage watch dial. Who ever thought it would look so amazing strung on a pink ribbon? I'm a big fan. The rhinestones really add something.  anyways, I still haven't figured out what it has to do with Paris though...maybe the watch was from France? lol, either ways, it's a really different piece of jewelery, and if you want it here's the link!

For those not in the know, a francophile is a lover of france and anything french. i lived in paris for 4 months. This week i got my a tattoo of the eiffel tower inked on the outside of my left ankle. My second tattoo, yeah! anyways, while on the brit website www.junkielovers.com, i found this cute, tres chic necklace. I don't know about you guys, but i think it is absolutely way too cute! Sure, it's 11 british pounds, and shipping to the states probably is not cheap either. but if you live in the UK, or are an American francophile, or any kind of francophile, you might want to check this out! here's the link! stay cute!
