eyes on the horizon








this was taken sitting inside the seediest little japanese takeaway place, just before i was presented with a pile of mush that was supposed to be chicken katsu. which was really disappointing seeing as i had been dreaming of it all day. the beautiful cuff is by the lovely carly paiker who sent me a couple of things to check out. this blush coloured one completely has me hooked, most probably due to my never ending love affair with anything pink and wearable. and yes, that is a triangle drawn on my wrist...a template of the tattoo i'm getting in new york next week!

carly has generously offered an amazing piece from her new collection to be given away to a heart+bleecker reader! this hexagonal ring features genuine black onyx stone set in 14k gold plating featuring the words, 'love, hope, peace, dream, believe' engraved into the border.



all you need to do is comment on this post with your email and like carly's facebook page here. the winner will be drawn one week from today, saturday 13/8, and the winner will be notified by email. good luck!

the ring is beautiful, would love to own it!

anyway, it's too bad about the katsu, i hate dreaming about food and then being bitterly disappointed when you finally get to satisfy your cravings. Also, I'm intrigued by the tattoo- it's so simple yet dramatic and I cant help thinking if there is some profound meaning behind it??

@annie: the reason behind it is, to me, quite meaningful, although some would probably think it quite lame! its from a video game series, legend of zelda. the 'triforce', three triangles making up one big triangle, stands for courage, power and wisdom. so its a nod to those 3 things and the fact the zelda series is my favourite video game franchise :)

I totally understand how you felt about the chicken. It's awfully disappointing when food you've been craving for just doesn't satisfy.

Anyway, the ring is gorgeous! And your cuff is just as stunning!

I've liked her facebook page. I really hope I win!
