Accessoires

Many fashion magazines advise fashionistas to buy accessories, as simple accessories can jazz up any look, from a basic shift dress to a casual bf shirt and jeans ensemble. No doubt my sister and I have been investing some $$ into accessories, especially belts and necklaces. (although I still can't bear to splurge on statement pieces as I do have a decently modest budget)

One of our favourite shop includes Aussie's DIVA. It's array of sparkling accessories sorted out by colours and patterns adorn the walls and shelves of its pristine interiors. Knowing that its the Great Singapore Sales now, DIVA's offerings are not to be missed. The sales for past seasons accessories start at $3, but I will say most necklaces and ea

rrings are 7 bucks and up. I bought a gorgeous ring for 9 bucks. It may not be the best steal in the shop, but this ring was really unique and it looked expensive.

For those who prefer unique accessories, several online shops offer such handmade treasures. Here are some of my recommendations. They do have different price ranges, but above all, the jewellery in there are gorgeous!

Indiesin
Recommended for the rock chic and those on a budget.

Mode.ulation loves: The moulin rouge necklace & all the chunky chains including the Troy coin necklace.

Ocha Cream
The trinkets and charms used in the wide myriad of earrings and charm bracelets are worth the splurge!

Mode.ulation loves: Everything from the Masak Masak (childhood toys) collection! The charms really remind me of my childhood toys!

AmeVi
Very unique charm necklaces and accessories made with love. I spotted this shop at Orchard Central's weekend flea market, Open Doors.

Mode.ulation loves: The watering can necklace!

Hope you guys do check out these websites!

Sparkle: JULES SMITH

Gina Nigrelli’s JULES SMITH collection is reminiscent of influential runway looks of decades past, infused with modern day influences. The jeweller's aesthetics identified the free-spirited nature of the 70’s and the glamour of the 80’s as her inspirations. Signature styles range from bold cuffs, to engraved monochromatic animal print pieces, with a vintage vibe.

In view of the upcoming movie New Moon, Jules Smith has launched a mini collection inspired by this vampire sequel. The silver necklace below sent more shivers than charm, but I love the names given to all the delicate accessories in this collection.

Edward's smile

“My collection pays homage to the iconic trends in fashion,” reflects Nigrelli. “One strong accessory, such as a dominant necklace, cuff or bold pair of earrings, completes a look that is timeless and effortlessly chic.” Indeed, Cullen's smile is one bold trend we expect this fall.

Mikimoto - eternal love

Mikimoto Eternal Love


What's pink, feathery and sparkling? Mikimoto's window display titled Eternal Love, portrayed The swirl of pink rose petals across the display is shaped like fairy wings, and delicately blends the whimsical and the dynamic. Peeking secretively out of the roses, the sparkly diamantes catch a glimpse of light. This display is only for the cautious, the ones who go up close to scrutinize and admire the small jewels.

A moment frozen in time. Eternal love.
