I like having my jewelry out so I can see them in the morning when I get ready for work. Sometimes I just pick stuff up and wear them around the house!

The bigger plastic ring was from a board game called "Pretty Pretty Princess" that I had when I was 7. I can't believe I still have it! Love wearing these two stacked together.

I recently ordered this bird skull ring online. It's a little macabre but still very pretty—especially the color of the stones in its eyes. It's a nice statement piece to go with a simple outfit.

This faux-grass ring is by a young, Singaporean designer named Mae Pang.

One of my all time faves! I get a lot of compliments for this one. It’s from Kki in Singapore, which has the cutest animal rings in all colors.

This silver ribbon ring is really dainty, really simple. I found it in Japan two years ago. It's really easy to wear with everything.

This is actually two different necklaces mixed together. I thought the pink skull charm would look pretty against this baby blue string.

I really, really love wearing this silver skull ring. It's a good balance of cute, delicate, and slightly weird.

I’m a little obsessed with acrylic jewelry. This ring is from a Singaporean brand called L'ile aux Ashby.

Wore this to dinner with my high school friends! The scarf is from a shop in Arab Street, Singapore and the geometric bangle is from Adora.

I wore this necklace from Forever 21 to work. I thought it would compliment the floral print of this jacket and I love that I got it for such a great price!

I really love this rabbit charm necklace. If you look closely, it's holding a little fabric flower in its paws. Great for when you want to wear something a bit prettier and whimsical.

I got this macaron ring in Japan. I told myself I'd buy it for my younger sister when I got back... but part of me knew that was a lie.

This mustache necklace is the best. I got it for my birthday once and it's such a good conversation starter. Even if they don't really know me people will come up to touch it or laugh about it.

My mom just came back from a trip to Paris and she got me this over-sized rose ring. Very loud but still romantic, and I thought it would look nice with my blue nails.

I love this necklace from local jewelry brand Yhansy. It's a dead ringer for Nicole Richie's House of Harlow piece about 1/10th of the actual price.

Went out for a nice dinner with my family. I was in a rush but I managed to toss on this leather cuff from The Ramp.

Spent the day doing lots of errands and returning clothes so I wanted to be comfortable. I layered a bunch of studded bracelets with a vintage watch from my mom and a big ring from Parfois. Also love this alligator print tote! It's Topshop x Christopher Kane.

Almost everything in this pic is from Forever 21. Haha! The bracelets are a combo of new and vintage pieces jumbled together, which is always fun to do.

Wore this quirky Pharaoh brooch with my striped top to brainstorming. I got it from the National Museum of Singapore when they were having an Ancient Egyptian exhibit. It's such a modern and adorable idea for a souvenir.

Layered these bracelets to work. They remind me of updated versions of the friendship bracelets that I used to wear when I was in high school!

I love this giraffe charm necklace that I got on sale from Mango. It's huge and reminds me of the '70s. I like wearing it with a plain white tee.

Wore layers of necklaces to a shoot. I mixed the charms from different necklaces together again. The bleeding Chanel logo is from a brand in L.A. called Alex & Chloe and the chicken foot pendant is from Hong Kong.

Found these '90s toy skull rings at this cool store in Cubao X called UVLA. Couldn't take it off! I even wore it to a kiddie birthday party today!

Ramen dinner with the family. The toy skull ring makes a cameo again and this awesome hardware necklace is from Firma. I love window shopping there. They have a really quirky selection.

Kept it simple with my hair up and long, '70s-style dangling earrings from Forever 21.

It was super rainy, so I decided to bundle up in lots of layers. Wore these pretty earrings that I bought at a bazaar from Yhansy.

Bought this ring from a vintage shop in Singapore that I worked at for a bit in college called Deja Vu Vintage.

This lightning bolt necklace is so adorable. I love the shock of bright yellow and the fact that it kind of looks like the letter 'S'.

This sparkly jelly ring is another old favorite. It came with those Hard Candy nail polish bottles that they used to sell, and I think I got it when I was 13.
