Style Harmony

It would be ridiculous to wear a fur coat or boots in a hot climate like Singapore. But for all you faux fur fans out there, try a bag instead. It can be a great fashion statement and add some excitement to your office wardrobe. Get one in a neutral colour like brown, beige, black or grey and match it with a fitted tailored top and smart casual pants. It also makes a great accessory for your weekend staples of tees and jeans. I bought this bag from Pedder Red and it has been a faithful companion ever since.

I have always liked JADE. In fact, my middle name in Chinese is Jade. Some women, especially the young, may associate it with their moms, grandmas; in other words, old, traditional, boring, not trendy etc… That can be true but it really depends on how jade is being used in design and style. I recently bought a piece of necklace with a large jade pendant. The necklace is made of sterling silver and the jade is light green in colour. I will not get into the wikipedia of this beautiful gemstone but just that you know, jade comes in many nuances of green and white, black, yellow, orange and even pink! I tried it on with my Betsey Johnson colourful floral  dress and the combination was FABULOUS! I had everyone talking about it:-) Match jade accessories with day dresses, smart suits or tank top and jeans for a modern twist. The key is the more ornate your jade is, the more modern your outfits should be.
