Sweet Romantics
One can never say no to flowers. So when I was checking out the bazaar at Orchard Central last weekend, I simply could not resist stopping by a booth that was fully laid out with the prettiest display of floral and vintage inspired necklaces. The beautiful creations were carefully handcrafted by Serene, owner of Serenite Designs. The style is elegant, pretty and feminine. Reminds me of Miriam Haskell’s creations (see below), one of my favourite costume jewelry designer from the 1920′s.
Necklace by Miriam Haskell
Serene explained that each piece is specially handcrafted by her and she combined vintage costume jewelry with modern beads. For example, the yellow beaded necklace I bought; the pendant was actually a vintage earring. I just love the vibrant colours and vintage look and it is easy to wear with skirts, dresses and jeans. There is also an array of pastel coloured rose pendants mixed with howlite beads. I got this charming piece which is a coral peach rose pendant with turquoise beads and a little bird charm; perfect for my summer dresses. You can also order custom-made pieces and even bring your own vintage collection for Serene to turn it into a personalised costume jewelry. For more information, visit www.serenitedesigns.etsy.com.
All Clogged Up!
Start off on the right foot with this spring/summer’s hot new trend: clogs! The new runway version comes in higher heels for a sleeker look.
Clogs have been around for ages and they were a popular footwear during the hippie era in the 1970′s. For an updated look, wear it with minis, tailored shorts, rolled up jeans or cropped pants. Go for a neutral colour like beige, black or brown. I personally find it cute and comfortable but if you are not sure about the high heel, go for one that is more comfortable for your liking like this pair (bottom, right) I got from Quintessential (SGD$130).

One Dress; Multiple Styles
Don’t you love those creative designs where you can have different looks from the same outfi? Definitely great value for your money! Well, we found this chic flowy dress in black and white checks, perfect for Spring/ Summer, at Lush, Queensway Shopping Centre.
You can wear it simply as a strapless dress, pile on huge statement necklaces (clear crystal rocks with this dress!), as a halter or as a skirt! The sash can be tied in front, behind or across one shoulder for the latest runway look. That is not all. The hemline is tied up to create a pouf style; you can untie the ribbons underneath and let the hemline hang straight! Amazing and all these style variations for just under SGD$30!!!
