I told you I was not very good at wearing jewelry but looking at all kinds of rings, earrings etcetera, I’m always in the mood for that! And today I found these really cute pieces from nOir Jewelry‘s special collaboration with Tokidoki and Barbie!
Check them out! It’s like they were made for girls! Tiny planes, wee dolls charms! I read somewhere that dressing up starts when you’re about five and it never really ends.
