Verne Ring, by mariagotijoyas

Verne Ring, by mariagotijoyas

Isn't this ring fabulous?

The blue-green labradorite is gorgeous, adding rustic beauty to the piece. The pearls add a very delicate touch, but I love how strong the ring looks with the metal frame opposite of the white. I love the look of oxidized silver!

I lived in Alaska for awhile and this design reminds me of Yupik native masks, they have a very similar look and when I look at the stone I can almost see a face!

Check out the matching earrings that go with this amazing ring!

I don't think I would ever take my eyes off of this ring when worn!

Pleated Neckline Dress, by Lirola


Pleated Neckline Dress, by Lirola

I am in love with this dress.

I first saw Lirola's shop on a Gift Guide for Fall Fashion and immediately became enamored with a light green shirt design that has a beautiful rustled look to it.

I 'hearted' this dress right away and gasped with displeasure when I saw it sold the next day. (Lirola, thank you for reposting it! I hope you have this design forever! I DO intend to buy one!)

Two things grabbed my attention when I saw this dress: the color and the pleating. This shade of purple is almost mesmerizing, I think the color of the dresser and other items in the room give the dress a very calm effect. It is very easy on the eyes.

The asymmetrical pleating is so attractive and compliments the neckline. Ruffles can oftentimes look overwhelming, but Lirola has done something very unique and incredibly stylish by making them drape the neckline.

The photography is very well done in Lirola's shop. Every apparel item is well modeled and each photograph shows the details.

I send this seller a very BIG heart! Beautiful work.
