Pretty Little Things Part 7

Hello, hello, we are at 7 already. :) Cos Lucky 7 (sings a merry tune), so this edition came early so that you guys don't have to wait too long for it. We always need good shopping to start off the new year *Fist Punch*

Hair ties are pretty much grossly overpriced in Singapore if you buy them off the shelf. For me, I either get them online, purchase handmade products from artisans or wait till I go overseas before I let myself go wild buying hair decorations.

So today, I thought I would introduce you another nice handmade shop - Violet's Buds. Their designs are classy yet easy on the pocket. I am pretty sure you would find something for yourself or your little girl there. :)

Rubber stamps are pretty in now, so for those who are in owning one of your own, I thought I would be nice and share with you a shop. Rubber stamps takes a lot of effort to carve it out. If possible, I definitely do hope ForFunk can find some artisans to bring you through the process. :)

So this is from Crafthi Wukd. Love the spelling of their name by the way. And you definitely can get your own personalised stamp from her if you are looking for something unique and truly yours. Makes a good thoughtful gift too, whatya think?

Last but not least, I thought I would show you a website (UK though) if you are looking for brands not being sold in Singapore. Although Singapore is a shopping heaven, there are a good number of brands that do not have flag shops in Singapore. It is ok if you reside in any part of the world, cos they do worldwide shipping.

So do visit MasterShoe and check out their wide variety! I think that's all we will have this time round. Till next time~ Hugs!

Review: Be a Belle, Shop Rosebel

Sometimes shopping experience are shaped by the customer service. This is one nice owner that I enjoyed working with so much and I think you all would also love her because she is just so sweet. Even reminded me to go retrieve my mail! So do check out Rosebel and support her.

Be prepared to be wowed away by some really nice photos, cos there was a really good natural sunlight flickering through my window and I took some nice shots. Feeling kinda of smug about it.

These are some items I reviewed from her shop. I have never been placed in such a difficult position because I don't really know which one I like best. It is really quite a conflicting decision.

They come nicely protected in bubble wraps and came in really good condition. The accessories is way prettier than what you see online, I swear. Especially the midnight iridescent ring, it had this shimmery dark blue. And I was rather pissed at my camera when it failed to capture it.

Until the natural sunlight came. It was like meant to be. Because, suddenly there was this glaring sunlight straight into my eye. Argh, I was hopping mad cos I am taking photos for review and did nature had to turn tables one me too!

And voila, I captured this. I hope this is not just narcissism on my part. No editing, and this photo looks super dang fantastic. The gorgeous blue finally captured. I nearly teared. This ring is really as beautiful as it looks. I know you are falling in love already.

The next piece that made me rather excited was the Galaxy Moon Necklace. The first thing that struck my mind when I saw it was to match my sailor moon outfit. Lately, I am exploring my Mum's old clothes. So I came out with the look which was a little on the retro, Japanese school-girl look. But it was kinda of dull cos it was just dark shades of blue.

I couldn't find any statement accessories to go with it. Cos anything that was too modern just couldn't fit in. But the Galaxy Moon Necklace was the perfect match :) :) And the galaxy charm is dangly making it extra cute and very unique. <3

The saturn choker was initially the obvious choice for "least favourite" among the accessories. I saw it and had this sinking feeling, I don't know whether I can pull this off. It is more for girls with spunk and those rocker chic look, which is not something I usually dock in.

But it was surprisingly good. And with a spaghetti top, it had a demure class to it too. I was quite pleasantly surprised to be honest. As a result, it made it tougher to decide which was best. Geez. Headache.

The last 2 golden leaf hairpin and quartz were safe bets for favourites. My Mum saw the hairpin and decided it was hers after I flaunted to her my photo. -.- She was like going every woman should have a golden leaf. Your grandma has a broach, I don't have one yet. And then she happily decided that golden leaf was hers. Hello, I don't have a golden leaf too you know.

I was lucky cos there was this PO quartz still available. Natural Beauty, I bet this phrase came out cos of them. It is very to match and goes with anything. :)

I know you all hate me already. I am here to burn a hole in your pocket. Haha. But good news ladies, Rosebel has a giveaway. So, do go check out her instagram and win yourself some goodies. The heart loop chocker do look good and my oh my, Rose Iridescent Earrings and Rings. I am going to join too. Hahaha, even though Instagram is not really my main social media. May the odds be in our favour!!!

Review: Daze no more with Paperdaise Accessories

Fabric accessories - brooches, necklaces, earrings, hijab pins etc.! All hand-crafted from scratch. If you are squealing on your seat, you would be thrilled to check out this store I have for you today. Paperdaise Accessories is founded by Sheree (a design architect and a mother of 1 playful boy).

There you will find gorgeous designs inspired by her daily work and family life as well as the designs of the well-known architects and fashion designers. However, each design is completely original and it is really dainty and lovely.

I received a little package from Sheree to add on to my accessories collection. The box was not the most fancy but I have to say it was very thoughtful and it did make me very excited. I would have to say I am most amazed with the headband because it was placed in a box to protect the fabric flowers. Indeed an architect!

She started off Paperdaise Accessories as an experimental project for her own ever-changing wardrobe that would be suited for different occasions. But I guess we are very glad she did not selfishly save these nimble fingers for herself.

I really do appreciate the efforts she put into each accessories. The quality is very good and is even better than established brand such as Helen. And not only that, I feel that she is pricing them "too affordably" which is really very kind of her. Sheree carefully handpicked her materials so maybe this explains the exquisiteness.

I have to say most of her designs would be more dainty and delicate. They are cute, but I won't exactly classify them as cutesy cute, but something that is adorably classy. It is timeless in a sense that I won't feel embarrassed wearing it even if I am thirty. You will know what I mean in my next collage.

For those of you who are blessed with little princesses, you will be glad that Sheree also has a collection of baby hairbands to help you doll your girls up. For any woman/girls out there, Paperdaise Accessories is one treasure trove where you can find lovely accessories. Every piece is unique so I sure hope you can find something uniquely yours out there.

For me, I absolutely adore my kitty earrings and peach hairband. I am saving it for CNY though. But I did shamelessly take a lot of selfies, cos I thought I look so dang gorgeous. And I didn't even have to do any magic on the photos! Either these accessories make me look beautiful or I am naturally gorgeous and I didn't realise it till now. Lol!
