Some hanbok for Vogue
The Crown Lotus Necklace in Ivory & Black - Available at okitokki.com
Inspired by the Queen’s royal crown ornaments of Baekje Kingdom in Korea, I created this piece as a tribute to all the women who have graced our lives with their love and friendship.
The honeysuckle vines, symbolizing devoted affection and the bonds of love, surround the design and grow into the shape of a rose, the ancient symbol of love and beauty. You can read more about the symbolism of the honeysuckle by viewing oki tokki’s Honeysuckle Vine Earrings.
The lotus in the center is a traditional Buddhist motif symbolizing the purity of heart and mind. The lotus remains unstained despite growing in muddy water and rises above to bloom beautifully. At night, the lotus closes and sinks underwater and will rise and open again at dawn. It represents the hope and perseverance to shine through the “mud of the world.”
A beautiful blending of cultures, the Crown Lotus Necklace is a great Mother’s Day gift as it can be personalized as a custom birthstone mother’s necklace by selecting each child’s birth month for the crystals. It is also a wonderful gift for sisters, daughters, best friends and relatives. The Swarovski crystals that dangle from this piece is customizable— you can choose by the birth months or your favorite colors to further tailor it to the receiver.

Love the 꿈 Hangul tattoo!
My tattoos are starting to look old now. I had them both done in Thailand back in 2007 and 2010.
They are both traditional bamboo tattoos. I only have these 2 tiny ones.
For those of you that cannot read Hangul my left wrist says ‘Dream’.
Does anyone have any interesting tattoos they wana share? ^^
