Not sure what to make of…the Soaring Porcine Ring

I’m as much a fan of kitsch as the next person but the Soaring Porcine ring ($178) seems to take it to a whole new level. When pigs fly indeed. Not only is the ring huge (and heavy) but its jewel-encrusted look would put Swarovski to shame. Part of me thinks the ring is kind of cute and perhaps if…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Roxy on holiday

roxy on holiday by roxyturtle Unlike many I am a fan of the cold weather. Love snow and the holidays and the cold!
