Ring Beader of the Rack: Circle Circus



There's a lot of questionable stuff out there about rings.  For example, Lord of the Rings, The Ring, and, to get away from movie franchises, that mysterious custom-made ring in season 3 of "Friends" that turned out to be a wrestling ring instead of the engagement ring that Monica wanted from millionaire Pete Becker.  (It may be twenty years too late, but that one still calls for a hey, Jon Favreau, get with the program!)  That said, I limit my own ring flings to the jewelry kind. Costume jewelry, that is ('cause what else am I gonna wear to the circus?).  And last week I scored some new spring bling from fellow Etsy shop PinkBopp.

This pink, red, and yellow stunner of a statement piece is kitschy, kawaii, retro, and Lolita -- a confectionery cornucopia of all my favorite styles!  (For more fancy finds and fab fashion, hop on over to PinkBopp's sweet blog.)  Yep, I've got to, ahem, hand it to shop owner Samantha Walker; she nailed it.  And only partly because this piece inspired me to paint my usually naked nails and buy (and then eat!) these cherry gummy candies.  This ring isn't just rad.  It's versatile, so much so that I just know it'll be the icing on oodles of outfits.  

Pretty precious, huh?  Somehow, I don't think Gollum can still say the same.

Movie Moment: Couples Retreat

After a tasty dinner at the Laguna Grill in Brigantine and an impromptu trip to Target, the bf and I went to see Couples Retreat last night. It didn't disappoint. Vince Vaughn portrayed the usual hilarious everyman, and the supporting all-star cast was entertaining, too. My only complaint may be that the squabbling couples seemed to make up pretty tidily at the end. But then again, I guess they all just realized what's most important in life: having someone to go to Applebee's with. (If you saw the movie, hopefully you know what I'm getting at.)
