Jewelled Rings and Fuschia Things

Dearest Hui,

Sorry for the late reply. As you know, I've begun my very demanding masters course in Speech and Language Pathology and don't know how much time I will have to write you from now on :(((. On the plus side, we are both now on NUS grounds! For my absence, here's a piece of Edward Cullen fanart which I found randomly. I hope it does well to replace me.

The Bagues Ancolia is indeed an exquisite piece. You are right, that drop is outstandingly subtle. It really does belong on your graceful, delicate finger. I shall look into steali- purchasing it for you as soon as I can.

I would like to clarify that I never said I'd buy you the Miu Miu Bow-Front Flats, or any shoes for that matter. I merely indicated that I would entertain the thought, because it was Christmas and because their colour was so pretty. If you would like, I could paint your feet pink. I think that is something I can much better afford.

Sexy glances back atcha,
Rachel

Dior Carnivores

Dear Rachel,

I've been having a harrowing day at work. I need something to cheer me up. As I know you care for me immensely, I know you would acede to my every request. I know you would easily buy me a spot of tea or even a bouquet of flowers to spruce up my desk. However, I can make my own tea and I don't like fresh flowers, for various reasons.

So why not get the next best thing? Consider this: I love rings. And I'm currently trying to find that thumb ring you gave me because I think it slipped off so I'm rather down about that. Yes, so I love rings, and different kinds of jewels make different girls happy. Secondly, I love beautiful names. With a collection themed around Carnivorous Flowers and aptly named Milly Carnivora, I have undisputedly fallen in absolute love. Furthermore, I am a huge fan of the crazily creative and beautiful Victoire de Castellane who designs for Dior Haute Joaillerie. So to have such delightful, exquisite and out-of-this-world pieces from her, I cannot think of a better way to brighten my day.

Take for instance one of my favourites - and if you saw the whole collection you would realise picking a single favourite is virtually impossible - which you can see in the picture above, called the Bagues Ancolia. How can I resist the strangely attractive clash of colours? Or that delicate, nearly-missable pale pink drop of venom? And the almost too-bright but intoxicating green hoop that makes up the body of the ring? One ring like that could match all my coloured eye-liners, one of which I will feature on here soon. Just look at those delicious blue petals, the glorious twirls in its shape. There are too many wonderful things to relish in this ring alone. One ring like that could help all my black outfits pop. One ring like that would provide the perfect accent to a flawless, glossy black manicure.

It certainly is tempting me. It makes me want to eat it up. Its carnivorous nature is causing my own ravenousness for it. Its poison sings like Bella's blood sings for Edward. Won't you satisfy my lust for this jewelled meat?

With lots of love and sexy glances,
Hui

P.S. Here's another angle in which to view it, you can see the lovely position of that drop. How outstanding! And yet, so delightfully subtle!

Miuccia Gracias

Dear Rachel,

Yes, the title is a bad play on words for thank you in Spanish. But oh well, we are linguists at heart and idiots in brain, so I know you will forgive me as swiftly as a swallow flies. Remember my little colour request that I made on here? In which you replied so sweetly with the some lovely suggestions?

Well I'm sure you do remember. Now with such a post, won't I need to do some follow-up? Make a choice? Take a pick? And a choice I have a made, a pick I have taken, and lo and behold, I have decided that yes, you should get me the Miu Miu Bow-Front Flats. I think they pop just the right way and would be perfect for Chinese New Year Celebrations that are just around the corner. Furthermore, I like that even though they pop, they are incredibly simple and therefore terribly chic. That bow in the front adds just the right oomph without making it too hrmmmph, if you know what I mean from my onomatoepoeia.

So, yes, Rachel, I accept your offer of buying me the Miu Miu Bow-Front Flats. I think they are a great idea and I couldn't be more happy with this suggestion. Furthermore, you have always been aware that I've been looking for the absolute perfect pink shoe. This would probably be it. Well done, Rachel, and thank you very much. You are a true friend indeed. ♥

Lots of love and pink hearts,
Hui

Flowers, Lipstick and Light

I am still amazed at how these turned out. The lighting came from a little reading lamp by my bedside, but the effect is almost surreal. Throw in some fake flowers and those vivacious lips of Hui's and you have a touch of magic. Well, this is just a result of us messing about. I hope you lovelies like it!

It's 2009 everyone! Best wishes ahead. ♥

Plus One

With lots of love,
Rachel & Hui
