Silver nails

I am not a fan of smoking, but I do love this photo. I also love the rings and especially the matching nails.

This is from one of my fave blogs called Jak & Jil:

Gold heart


Gold heart, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This was my birthday present from my husband (although I did actually pick it out myself...). It's a 22 carat gold heart from Delhi, India. It's huge! I'll need to post a photo of it where you can make out the size better. It's not heavy since it's not solid but hollow. The price was around 450 euros, which is a lot of money, but I am sure it would have cost a lot more in Europe...

Blue sapphire jewelry

My sapphire ring and pendant from India, both in 22 carat gold. I also have a matching pair of stud earrings. The reason I bought so much jewelry while in India is that it's so much cheaper there. Apparently you could sell jewelry bought from India for about three times as much in Germany and, well, Finland is even more expensive than Germany. So I would make a profit if I sold my jewelry at auction. However, I'm not sure I want to. :-)

Some of my jewelry. You can see here that I have two different colours of gold: the gold from Finland is a bit pink-ish and the gold from India is very, very yellow. The Finnish gold is 18 carats and the Indian gold is 22 carats.

Powder pink trousers

Another amazing piece from the Acne Fall-Winter 2011 collection: this may well be the most beautiful pair of trousers I've ever seen!

Detail from the sunglasses I bought in Bangalore, India.

Bracelet


Picture 028, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I wore this bracelet all the time in Goa too. I believe it's made of lead, since it's very heavy. It's got an elastic, so don't know how long it'll last but I really love it. I just have to be careful not to flail my arms around too much because I've sometimes literally sent this baby flying - it's the combination of heavy metal and elastic...

Earring

I wore these silver earrings almost all the time when I was on holidays in Goa (I even wore them to the beach). It was incredible how many women said: "I love your earrings!". This is a very traditional Indian style of earring.

Jewelry box - inside


Jewelry 043, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
This is what the interior of my jewelry box looks like (exterior shown a couple of posts ago). The power cable of my laptop stopped working and the new one arrived on my desk at work in this box. I immediately loved the interior and wanted to make the exterior pretty as well.

Love this suit! Wonder if I could make one myself?

Jewelry box


Jewelry 045, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I made this jewelry box today...well, decorated it. It was a box of IT stuff from work and I made it into a jewelry box. It has really nice padding inside so I didn't want to waste it.

Texture

I love the texture of the knit.

I am now working on a scarf to match the hat. It'll take a while...

Don't slouch

Here I am wearing the hat. It has been -20 C here for weeks so it comes in handy.

Slouch

I knitted this slouch beanie while waiting at airports. I love the colours...although it looks a bit more blue here than it is in real life. Just gorgeous shades of grey.

Mason Pearson brush

I don't know how it is that I haven't heard about these brushes before....they are apparently the Holy Grail of hairbrushes. I read about them here:

http://www.garancedore.fr/2011/02/03/la-mason-pearson/

The photo is also stolen from there.

OK, so now I want one of these brushes and even the small size costs 90 euros....oh well, one of these days...

Oh Baby!

Goan style


Mimi_Spice_Farm_2, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
Pink Lady is back from Goa, tanned and relaxed. The skirt (that can also be used as a dress) was bought from Goa on a previous trip and the top is actually from Milan. The hat (in my hand) is from Marimekko (Finnish design). The photo was taken at the Tropical Spice Plantation in Ponda, Goa.
