If colour is your name and you love the vibrant hues that reflect your mood and style, then you gotta check out the gorgeous fused glass jewelry at Amy Burhoe. This is the brainchild of a husband and wife team who handcraft each piece of colourful jewelry in their home studio in Rhode Island.
But first, let’s understand what fused glass really is. From the website of Amy Burhoe, I gather that it is actually layers of glass melted together using a kiln which is a specialized type of oven. Many techniques can be used to alter the glass and the process can last anywhere from 6 to 24 hours! At the peak temperature (usually around 1475 degrees!) the glass is molten red. All I can say is I am totally melted away by some of the awesome colour combinations - they are just so pretty!

I gotta pinch myself to stop clicking on the pages at ShoeBacca but that was hard! Shoes is one of women’s ‘best’ friends and this is also something that is hard to explain to a man. Agree? Well, some of us love certain types of shoes - sandals, pumps, stilettos, mary janes, wedge shoes, slip ons while some may just prefer sports or athletic shoes.

This morning, it took me a while to find Clayton a nice pair of pants without any zipper and buttons. An elastic waist band makes it easier for a boy undergoing toilet-training. As I was taking him out to a nice place for lunch, I wouldn’t want to dress him in track pants or outdoor slacks. It hasn’t been easy shopping for a pair of smart bottoms that is versatile enough for special outings and everyday wear. But it was spot-on when I saw this pair of Mulberribush sand corduroys. Available in several hues suitable for boys, you can trust that Mulberribush children’s clothing are made with details in mind and quality fabrics that every child will enjoy. You can find their collection sold in Aggiehill.com or bestdressedkids.com. Infact, it is now on sale for $19.60 (usual: $28)

How many of you can snooze in comfort in the air? Some of us can probably snooze during the long haul flights but not the short ones. My hubby is one person who can walk into dreamland regardless of the flight time. Perhaps, those sleep masks issued by the airlines may be helpful to shut the light out, especially if it’s a day flight but if you like to snooze in style, how about getting one of these Cris Notti Sleep Masks? These sleep masks have silk backs, inner padding, and elastic lace-like straps in a matching color - perfect for a soft touch to the face and hair. Choose from Retro Blue, Blue Capri, Cherry Blossom, Morocco Tangerine, Kimono Turquoise, and Golden Leopard, and Black Dragon. $19.95 at Wrapables again.

I can get very fussy when it comes to choosing a pair of earrings. Personally, I like to keep my earrings simple and elegant. Due to the hassle of removing and changing earrings, I have two pairs of diamond post earrings all year round. As much as I like drop earrings for special occasions, I don’t like those that are loud and overpowering in terms of style and design. For me, a simple Tiffany teardrop or semi-precious accents is more than enough to complement an evening dress or special dinner. Otherwise, I’ll keep my post earrings on if I can’t find anything to match with what I’m wearing.

I couldn’t resist those chic, well cut and sophisticated short jackets from AllDressedUp, a Singapore label and signature collection of The Link founded by Tina Tan-Leo. What I like about AllDressedUp clothing is the versatility and creative thought behind each item. It’s modernity mixed with spontaneity and ultimate sophistication. They aren’t cheap to begin with and the only reason why some of them come with a hefty price tag is because of the detailing and high end fabrics used. Design detailing is the signature of AllDressedUp clothing. A simple sleeveless top looks unique with cute pleated trimmings and a spandex cropped jacket has stylish ruffles at the back and sleeves - things like these. AllDressedUp line of urban clothing can be found in selected Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the US, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Brisbane, Jakarta and of course, Singapore!

When I first saw the pretty jewelry collection of Anne Maa Designs, I can tell right away that she is more than a fashion designer. Anne designs her creations based on the texture, shape and colour of the materials she worked on and the result is an artful piece that reflects modernity and individuality. Her combination of stones, beads and materials is geared with the stylish fashionista in mind yet it’s not meant to follow the changing seasons and trends. The ones that seriously got me sitting upright and my eyes bulging are those of the limited collection. They are awesome and truly one-of-a-kind. I can understand why they are sold out! Check it out at http://www.annemaadesigns.com
