Check This Out ... Sze Accessories

A style is incomplete without the bedecking of accessories. Whether it's an icy lariat diamond necklace by Ivanka Trump or mere seashells bracelet that you can easily buy from seaside stalls, accessories are a must to accompany your immaculate looks.

After years of creating her own jewelries, Malaysian accessories designer Sze Yoong launched her own line of accessories and costume jewelries known as Sze Accessories in 2007.

To distinct Sze Accessories with most established costume jewelry and accessories brands in the market, Sze Yoong's creations are considered as masterpieces with utmost thoughts and cares poured into the selecting, designing, and workmanship process, making them desirable to women of all ages and walks of life.

The materials, ranging from high-quality beads, charms, semi-precious stones and a variety of ornaments are carefully selected, hand-picked by Sze Yoong herself and sourced from jewelry suppliers, thrift shops, and flea markets in Australia, United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, as well as around Malaysia.

These materials are then fashioned into marvelous pieces influenced by indigenous and contemporary touch, plus a dash of style and modernity. There are six ranges for you to choose from - Nautical, Eden, Amour, Boudoir, Shoppe, and Christmas. Channeling the spirit of high-seas and luxury cruise liners is the Nautical range, which perfectly syncs with your latest designer Cruise wear collection.

In Eden, whimsical is perfectly blended with nature to create a melange of beautiful organic yet fluid shaped accessories. Dangerously in love? Amour collection of love and romance-filled trinkets is the answer while Boudoir range stands for appealing sexiness and sophistication.

Fancy shopaholics, indulge in the Shoppe collection with arrays of miniature handbags and purses charms, and last but not least, though the Christmas season is over, let the spirit alive with Christmas range ( I love that Rednose reindeer phone charm!).

Our pick? Well, there are too many desirable pieces but I love the Whiting Davies necklace with a miniature crystal-encrusted vintage handbag charm, biblical tale-inspired Jonah gold-plated charm bracelet with Greco-Roman coin and miniature gold-plated whale charms from Nautical collection, and Boudoir's Orchestra of Trinkets brooch.

The stunning pieces mentioned above from Sze Accessories can be purchased directly via Sze Accessories Online Store at http://www.szeaccessories.com/ or at Secret Garden Boutique in Kota Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.

Hello my darlings,

I was never a fan of Stepford Wives. Even though it’s just a work of fiction by late Ira Levin, I simply find the storyline distasteful – an atrocious depiction of a man’s ideal utopia: a suburb or state of mind, tuck from the rest of a normal society somewhere near Connecticut where men will always be kings and women will bow to them as slaves.

And although I really love its main character Joanna Eberhart, her ending – she became one of the Stepford Wives at the end of the story, along with her rebellious neighbour Bobbie - was something I did not expect. But thank God, Nicole Kidman did not suffer the same in the latest version of the movie (err, is 2004 still considered as ‘latest’?)

However, no matter how profound my hatred is on Stepford Wives, be it the novel or the films, I could never hate their vibrantly coloured wardrobes and classic silhouettes, epitomising the poster housewives’ look of the post-war age. Well, easily said, think of what you often see on Katy Perry’s svelte body.

Now, good news for Stepford Wives’ style worshippers – the Stepford style is back to haunt your wardrobe come next year’s spring/summer season. Yes, that’s what my trusted source says and I ain’t kidding you!

So, what can you look forward too? Well, for starters, one can look forward to sundresses and day gowns with skirts blown up to full proportion, tartans and fruity floral prints like the cherries, lemons and pomegranates to name a few.

As for evening, stash some cocktail rings in candy hues, pantsuits in jewel toned Thai or shantung silk or dramatic drape evening dresses with elegant silhouettes or with generous embellishments. Ah, what a nice mix of style to shoo away those cloudy economic days next season.

Anyway, those that I mentioned above are just some of my predictions. What’ll be in stores for next season? We’ll never know until the fashion week curtains are raised within the next few days. So, before we parting ways, always keep that positive mood on 24/7 and let’s embrace the incoming season with lots of fun-filled roleplays!

Kisses and Hugs,
Shaiful

COPIES ARE UNCOOL!

I know how tempting designer goods are and many would do anything to get their hands on them. And since an original bag would set us back at least a one full-year salary, then the only way left to satisfy our temptations is by buying either fakes or replicas.

You see, to create something that's lustworthy and iconic is not an hour or two task. It takes not just months but even years for designers to come with something regarded as the 'it' thing by the world. And do you know that it takes more than 20, or sometimes up to 100 working hours for a craftsman to put an 'it' bag together, compared to the mere 3-5 hours taken by a machine to do the same thing! Painstaking? Yes, it is!

And what's more, I hate how the way many replica or fake branded goods-selling websites boasting how they could create the similar thing using so-called new technologies and stuff.

Just put yourself in the shoes of an artist who has been working hard to get his name and creation well-loved and recognised by the world, and you certainly feel the pain and agony he or she feels, even though the fashion house might be paying him thousands or millions in monthly salary.

So people, start reconsidering what you're doing. It's never to late to save your money for something that's worth your hard work all these years. Besides, designer bags will always be in fashion even when their 'it' days have long gone. Support real designers and say NO to replicas and fakes.
