[Advertorial] Glisten Jewel - Affordable accessories for everyone!

Accessories are L-O-V-E!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I get really excited when  I know of cheap places that sell beautiful ladies' accessories (I think I have developed a serious fetish for accessories! LOL. So much that I actually bought myself a large jewelry box to store all my precious necklaces, bracelets, rings.. etc. Oh wait - 1 box isn't even enough!)

So you can imagine how excited I was when Glisten Jewel contacted me and sponsored any 2 items of my choice from the store, and I am telling you... I totally love my picks!

Interested to know what I have chosen to feature here? 

Then please continue to scroll down to find out yourself! LOL.

Glisten Jewel's service was really efficient! I received it within 2 days (excluding weekends as the Post Office wasn't open.)

My first reaction when I first saw this..:

"Wow".

The owner of Glisten Jewel, Gen, is a real sweet lady! I was really touched by her kind gesture in hand-writing me a little note.

Aww.. Thanks, Gen! :)

And did I mention that I LOVE,LOVE... LOVE the packaging that the accessories came in? 

Shiny silver box with blue velvety cloth - It looks really sophisticated. 

Professionalism to the maximum level. 

CHIO. Wait till I show you the full version of the necklaces!

Labelled as "Chocolate Dream" by Glisten Jewel,  the name couldn't be more suitable!

One of the reasons why I chose this specific necklace is because it looks really sweet. A light baby shade of pink - complete with cute little charms.

*squeals*

A half-bitten chocolate charm. Any chocolate fanatic here will definitely be crazy over this. :)

One thing I absolutely love about the necklace is that it seems to tell a story. The charms blend in really well with each other - Chocolates, teddy, flowers, pearls... 

Sweet in a dreamy way.

Just in case you are wondering about the quality, here's a really close-up shot of the pearls.

Totally not those cheap plastic-looking materials that you can get from random stores.

And can you believe that it is actually priced at a freaking low price of ... ...

$5.50 ?!?!?!?!

I couldn't believe my eyes either when I saw the stated price. 

I suppose that this kind of material can easily be priced up to $10 or more in retail stores.

No kidding. I have seen lousier quality from other places and they are not even this cheap!

..

Ok,  now on to my jaw-dropping choice #2 necklace - The Wishbone necklace!

It has one of the most simplistic designs - and not a style I'll normally choose BUT I'm going to treasure this as it holds a strong meaning to it.

A Wishbone is known to be something lucky - and brings luck to the owner.

As cited from Wikipedia:

"In 15th Century Europe it was thought that the wishbone could be used to predict the weather.Nowadays, once removed from the turkey or chicken, the wishbone is dried and then held between the little fingers of two opposing "wishers". Once the wish has been made the bone is pulled by each person. The wisher who breaks off a larger section of bone is assumed to have their wish granted. Alternatively, the winner of this contest may choose to transfer the fragment of the wishbone, along with the wish, to a person of his or her choosing."

AND OF COURSE I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO ACTUALLY BREAK THE NECKLACE, LAH. 

Hahaha. 

It is just that the symbolic shape has been made into a necklace - and you can feel lucky wearing it on you.

(Who knows, something lucky will indeed befall you? *smiles*)

Well, you see...Even celebrities are totally digging this!

Kristen-Bell:

Jennifer Aniston:

And here's a photo taken by me on the actual item:

Again, I'll take close-up shots to prove to you of it's quality and delicate design:

Pardon my messy strands of hair - It's flying all over from the wind!

But well... I'm starting to love the simplistic (and lucky) Wishbone design!

How about you? :)

I believe it's really difficult to resist the temptation when it comes to cheap but high-quality items - But sometimes you know you HAVE to get them or there is a possibility that you can't find the exact same design elsewhere anymore.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can't get enough of the accessories I featured from Glisten Jewel?

THEY HAVE MORE IN THEIR ONLINE STORE!

Rings, bracelets, earrings, etc!

And best of all, majority of their items do not exceed $6!

(Who says sophistication must come with a heavy price tag?! That's bullshit LOL)

Be it whether you are getting a nice accessory for yourself or a friend, do consider Glisten Jewel. They will be updating more designs in time to come at super affordable prices!

Trust me, you won't regret this *winks

I'm going to feature a few of their designs here to feed your temptation!

Super Kawaii ladybird earring design - only at $3.90! Can you believe that? OMG.

(It's a pity I do not have pierced holes, or I would have loved this to be part of my collection!)

I'm star-struck! LOL.

This is also $3.90! 

*faints*

Ok enough said. I do not want to spoil more of the surprise. Just head over to their online store at

[Advertorial] Lovelydings

If you are a loyal reader of mine, I am sure you have seen how much I LOVE accessories. 

They play such a big and important role in enhancing your OOTD! (Outfit of the day)

Seriously, without accessories - your whole look will just look "meh".

So here you go - A new recommendation for everyone who loves accessories, especially bracelets!

Wait- before you think this is just another advertorial that I am doing out of obligation - I would just like to say ... 

"Please read on! "

This is not just another ordinary accessories store -  but one that is able to CUSTOMIZE according to your requirements, including wrist sizes (everyone has a different wrist size, so you can be rest assured that the one you will be getting is tailor-made to YOUR size only)  and different assorted colors of your choice!

Now, that sounds really interesting, huh? (It is!)

Yes, this online store is none other than... ...

*drum rolls*

(Yes, they are very kind to sponsor two bracelets of my choice - with each of them coming in individual cute packaging. I love how they wrote and drew on the packaging themselves! How sweet and sincere!)

So ta-da -

Here's my first choice of the bracelet - with American colors (Blue, Red and White) & a gold chain that makes everything look sophisticated.

Do note that the bracelet is HANDMADE - and tailored EXACTLY to your wrist size. (So please remember to indicate your wrist size when you are placing your orders with them!)

I have an exceptionally super duper small wrist. When I first received the bracelet, I was actually shocked  and thought "Gosh, this looks like a kid-sized bracelet!" I thought I had given them the wrong size. LOL.

I put it on, and ITS MY FREAKING SIZE. OMG. 

But that doesn't affect the quality of the bracelet in any way! At least I am loving it because there are not many bracelets sold in retail stores that are able to fit my wrist just like how this bracelet from Lovelydings can!

Here's a photo of my *ahem* beautiful hand, sporting the American colors bracelet which I totally adore.

Here's a close-up to convince you of their workmanship:

Personally, I feel that it goes well with ANY apparel - be it just an ordinary plain-looking T-shirt or something sophisticated. 

I have seldom seen such color combination bracelets from retail stores before - so this is definitely something new that you can show off. Haha.

And you know what is one thing that I like most about this lovely bracelet from Lovelydings?

It's the light weight of it.

 Its so omg light that I didn't feel anything on my wrist at all the whole time I was wearing it! LOL. (I actually went to bed wearing it after taking the photos. HAHA)

So... see what I mean?

Here's bracelet #2 - Blue with gold chain; Suede style!

Notice something special about the bracelet? 

Its actually an intertwined thing - and I think its genius that the combination produces such great results.

This bracelet is different from the the earlier one I've shown here. (Yeah, the style, material and pattern is very much different)

Here's both of the bracelets when worn together:

(Seriously, I have never own something like these even though I have a huge collection of accessories)

Call me a nuisance, but somehow I just love taking photos with their lovely little packaging. LOL.

Well, what I have shown you here are ONLY two of the many other choices that they have in their store. 

If you are feeling funky ; you can have a bracelet that is totally custom-made to your requirements. They have many colors for you to choose from - Just tell them your desired color combination and you will see them turning to reality! Surprise your friends or loved ones with a great gift like this too ; nothing beats customizable stuff!

With permission from the lovely folks at Lovelydings to use their Facebook photos, here I am going to show you some of the great favorites ; together with their latest styles!

Look at the different combinations here ; it's crazy.

With different series of chains that depict each style, you will definitely be spoilt for choice:

Suede Braided Bracelets (B series)

Simple combination of colors - that comes with affordable price tags. :)

(Who says customizable items need to be expensive?!)

For lovelies who prefer softer/candy colors, I am sure this will be a huge hit:

(I personally like the color combi of this bracelet too!)

V Suede Chain Series (V Series)

I think this will look great with dark blue/black tops and dresses!

How about black - The color mixes so well with the tinge of gold! 

 Same style; different color - but it looks so different! For people who love that bit of sunshine on them: 

Weaved Chain Bracelets (W series)

Weaved Chain Bracelet - Another kind of simplistic style that brings out the best in your outfit!

The one below suits vintage. ;) (That was my first impression when I saw the photo!)

Another candy color kind for sweeties out there!

Threaded Chain Bracelets (E series)

This series is one of my personal favorites! Remember the American color bracelet that I had worn earlier in this post? Its from this series! :) Unlike the other styles featured above, this is in threaded form - so it produces a different feel altogether!

If these doesn't convince you, I am not sure what else will. :)

At the point of writing this entry, I realized that they have a new and upcoming series - 

The Designer Series!

Here's one awesome-looking design for you bling bling fashionistas out there:

(Yes, its slightly more expensive than the rest because it comes with sparkling diamonds!)

If you are a guy looking for THE perfect gift for your girlfriend (Hint: Valentine's Day), here it is: 

(If anyone gives me this, I will be happy as hell already! I do not need any expensive jewelries seriously!)
