Choosing the right necklace

I've asked so many people around and they say the necklace is the most important accessory a girl should have.  Perhaps, that is the sexiest part of the girls body for your eyes to see. Models have been known to make it big if they have perfect collars and necks that shows elegance and class. So how do you actually select the right kind of necklace for yourself?

  • If you're petite, it is best to wear collar-length or longer necklaces. Styles with V shapes and ones that fall below the breast but above the waist elongate the figure.
  • If you're of average height, you can wear necklaces of any length, unless you're full-figured. In that case, she should avoid necklaces that rest on the breastline.
  • If you're tall, almost any length goes well. The thin, tall woman may select chokers that cut the line of the neck and de-emphasize height. Necklaces made of stones or pearls of the same size are especially flattering to the tall woman
  • If you have an oval shape face, any shape necklace will work. A choker looks just as good as opera-length pearls or any necklace that comes to a V.
  • If you're round shape faced, look for long necklaces, 28" to 32" to give a dimension of length.
  • And if you have a heart shaped face, a choker necklace is a favorite style because it softens and diminishes the sharp angle of the chin.

Long or short?

Ooh .... there's a debate going on. Long or short hair ... keep it going. Its really interesting to know. All girls like it long ... girls like it, guys like it, and it does good in the name of fashion.

Short hair is sporty, chic and trendy. Guys like it on the girls next door. Girls in the troppical heat loves it too.

So before we come to a conclusion ... here's a sweet and pretty piece that is suitable for both long tresses and the short styles. Can't get enough of the clips!

Going at only RM 8.50 or GBP1.30. Hurry as only 3 clips left.
(BH 012) (SOLD) Pretty things go fast 

Long hair has been voted

Though they don't say it, it obvious. As I was sipping my coffee on one of the outdoor cafes along the busy shopping area of Pavillion, KL. I did some observations (people watching is a super cool hobby). That out of 10 girls, 7 had long hair, 1 had medium lenght and 2 had short. Now ... of course I did not go up to them to ask their ages and such ...... but what I am certain is that that area is full of trendy people.

So the statistic speaks for itself. And so my reader friends have had their say too. Long hair is cool .... hmm, I am due for my hair cut .... but perhaps I should wait. Styling your hair is so much fun .. so is matching your hair do based on your dress or shopping for hair accessories. hahaha .. it doesn't take much for me to make up my mind.

Here is a unique item I got from my recent trip to Shanghai, China. Can you imagine them in your hair? Holding your pony tail up and decorating your pretty little head. Sweet!


Going only for RM 14.50 or GBP 2.20 (SH 011)

Tame your mane

We were bored, so we hit the internet and asked some random people one question. Well, the opinions really come from a wide database. There are people of different races, different age groups and even different genders.

And the question? - 'Which do you think is better? Short or long hair?'

-Short. Girls need to look sporty, fresh and playful too. Short hair is also less maintenence.-
(Kar Yee, 18, Hong Kong)

-Long is definitely better. My guy loves it and never allows me to cut it.-
(Deb, 23, Canada)

-I prefer long hair. I can style it anyway I want with all the different accessories.-
(Caroline, 21, Singapore)

-Girls with long hair shows more elegance. And they really know how to tease you with it.-
(Mark, 28, Australia)

-I'll always want to keep my hair short. At my age, long hair makes me look like an evil witch.-
(Jude, 43, Australia)

-I have no preference. What ever style the girl goes for, she needs to carry it with confidence.-
(Azlan, 30, Malaysia)

-In this hot weather, of course short. I don't want my hair to be looking all oily and sweaty.-
(Gracia, 28, Indonesia)

What's the verdict then? You judge ...

Back with a shine of Swarovski!



Yup yup, it was a long hiatus ..... exams and all. Life is hectic ... and what better way to let it go, let go of all the stress by going shopping? Well, not to the mall but to the bazaars.


These places are great fun and you'll be amazed at what suprises you can get there. I got my self this really cute pair of denim wedges that has a bow in front. Good way to reward myself after a hard month of hitting the books right?



But of course I did not forget you guys ... look what I found? A beautiful necklace, elegant with class. Its Swarovski! Not the least bit flashy. Excellent for nice dinner date or even for a meet with mum hi-tea.

I've got them in three colors ... Brown (pic), black and dark green. Oh! Our love for crystals will always be there.



Only going for RM 32 or GBP 4.90 (YN 011)

Sun catcher


No, not the kid's thing, I am talking about crystals. My passion for them started when my friend would buy me a Swarovski crystal figurine each time he visited me from Hong Kong. I've got a collection of them. My favorite is of course this beautiful crystal rocking horse. Its so pretty. Over the years, I've collected rabbits, bears, dogs and different kinds of animal figurines.


I put them on a shelve beside my window, where the sun reflects on them. And out comes the rainbow colors. Sweet!!
(PS: When are you visiting again?)

Caring for crystals

We all love diamonds ... but its gets pretty boring after a while .. its of the same color, shape and always small (*hint*) But crystal is different. The come in lots of colors. Some are translucent some are solid. They can be cut into different shapes and sizes and its cool to the touch. Even better still, we get to share it with the guys! ... Isn't it a fair world?

We all love crystals, and have a piece somewhere. Be it a necklace, earring, ring, bracelet (for guys too), or even on our clothes. We wear it with pride and suddenly, bah .... it gets dull.

So how to we care for our crystals?
  • Damage is usually done while moving it. Handle it as a fragile item
  • Keep them in a drawer away from dust, debris or oily stuff
  • If your crystal gets dusty, use a blow dryer on cool air to 'blow' the dust away
  • Do not stack or store crystals together or you might risk scratching its surface
  • Do not wrap crystals with tissue as it will encourage dampness
  • Store wisely as crystals crack easily in extreme hot or cold conditions
  • To clear finger prints of your crystal, use a little bith of dish washing liquid with a lint free cloth and hand wash it with moderate warm water. Air dry
  • Leave your crystal out in the sun (for a while) to capture the natural reflections of light
