Remember to Groom that Mustache.. Ring

Have you been looking for that extra something to make an outfit perfect?

Well, I've got it - and I know it's exactly what you've been looking for: a Mustache Ring.

- Yep, that's right!


I made it using polymer clay, and it's adjustable -which means that it'll fit any finger!

This is a BRAND new product - not one other person out there has it.


So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the store to check it out.. and add to cart ;)

Want Some Coffee To Go With That Doughnut Necklace?

Medium Doughnut Necklace

I've recently made more products in the Doughnut series.

I've made three necklaces (one sold) in three different sizes. The medium and large ones are up for sale in the store.

The oh-so-cute doughnuts are made using polymer clay, and have been molded, shaped and baked using my gentle, little hands ;)

Large Doughnut Necklace

The doughnuts are strung on a pretty silver-coloured chain, which is 1 meter long.


Why not go all out and wear a whole doughnut outfit!? Matching earrings and rings are available ;)

For example:

Also new! Check 'em out here.

How to Accessorize Using a Scarf

I recently got my first infinity scarf (from Vila).. and I can't get enough of it!!

I love:

• how it keeps me warm, 
• its beautiful colour
• how it looks great with and compliments everything I wear - especially with my mustard yellow tank! :)

I love how an outfit looks a lot better when paired with a scarf.

I think it looks super-cool when the colours contrast, but match at the same time.

Scarves can be used as accessories during winter AND summer!

I also wore the new Bright Blue Braided Double Wrap Bracelet I made.. which is up for sale here!

I'm in love with the (mustard) yellow and blue colour combo!

What colour combos do you like?
What do you think of the new bracelet.. and my new scarf? :D

Get the Look: Cream White Rosette Ring

Today I thought I would share how to wear our newest product, the Cream White Rosette Ring!

I've been wearing one of these babies since I created them! I'm addicted.

Let's get you hooked too...

Get the look-

My hand wearing the Cream White Rosette Ring, cream
nail polish to matchwhilst holding a The Gentle Flower
business card ;) (this is the back)

This ring is perfect for any occasion, and compliments any outfit.

It's perfect for summer, as it has a fun freshness to it. But it's also perfect for winter, as it matches the snow outside, or can remind you of the winter snow in colder countries.

The ring is very versatile as the colour of the ring matches any blouse, dress, pants, etc. of a different colour.

It even matches any kind of nail polish, but I wore a shiny, cream white nail polish to match the ring ;)

I am that addicted to it.

Plus the ring looks perfect holding a The Gentle Flower business card, of course ;)

If you wear it just like me, you'll be looking like a true Gentle Flower! What could be better? ;)

Please go check it out and let me know what you think ;) 
How would you wear it?


And don't forget to enter the giveaway! (psst. I've added two additional ways to enter!!)
