Hello everyone.

If you have been following me on Instagram, my last couple of posts were mainly focused on statement jewellery and most of them were pretty large pieces of jewellery. I love how accessories can make or break an outfit. However today, I wanted to showcase how one can also mix and match statement jewellery with daintier pieces and yet all are part of the whole " symphony" to create the total look.

Here I am wearing a gorgeous Esme Crystal Sirena Ring from House of Rajput, in multicolour Swarovski crystal that has been identified as a " Jean Paul Gautier"- as they were specifically designed by him in collaboration with Swarovski. The unique cut of the crystal creates textures when one wears the ring as the light does bounce off in various angles with its unique cuts of the stone, hence creating a spectra of colours.

Wanted to bring out the multi coloured stone against my outfit so chose a plain yet gorgeous powder pink Whistles dress for this look. Kept the other accessories small, dainty and simple so that the ring may stand out against the whole look, yet every piece of jewellery has a role to play in the creation of this total look. The bee bracelet ( by the way I am so loving bee motif on accessories) and the simple pearl necklace from Embrace Jewellery is just perfect to play supporting roles to the Sirena ring. This pair of dainty earrings is from Lovisa and it clearly finishes off the total look. But yet besides the ring, another piece de resistance is this absolutely stunning, made in Singapore, shophouse printed clutch bag from Photophactory. Honestly if you are looking at a bag that makes you stand out from the crowd, yet bearing some form of cultural background to it, then you should check out the range of clutch bags by Photophactory where many are showcasing the Peranakan culture of Asia, with the printed tiles in myriad of colours, as well as shophouses and batiks. Many of the clutches come in dual tone which means you can always mix and match them with different outfits creating different looks with one bag as each flip side is a different picture and colour. In this case, the shophouse clutch only has one print to the bag but I love that it carries with it many colours that could allow this bag to be easily paired with any outfit.

Here, I am showcasing the bag for a more formal look, but you can also check out how I styled this clutch bag with a casual outfit in my post here. Now these gorgeous rainbow heel pair of shoes had to surface from my wardrobe to complete this look. Doesn't it add that final glam, a little retro, touch to the whole look? By the way, they are on sale now from The Tui Collection.

I hope you enjoyed the styling of this outfit and do watch this space as I bring you more fun and exciting ways to style your jewellery pieces soon.


Love,
Simone xoxo


Fly me to the " Mira Moon" - Blue & White Combi with Silver Accents ( WINNER OF OCTOBER GIVEAWAY ANNOUNCED)

Happy Tuesday Everyone.

As promised, the winner for my October Giveaway is.... {drumroll}....... :
" GIOVANNA SESSA" ( Italy)
 I will be emailing you to secure your details for the shipping of your beautiful necklace!

Meanwhile thank you everyone for your overwhelming response and participation. Do not be disheartened if you did not win this time as I intend to host regular Giveaways on my blog. This is only the first to come.

Was recently at the funky Mira Moon hotel in Wan Chai, Hong Kong for a nice meal and had to share this relatively new hotel venue with you guys. As part of the Miramar Group chain which has its flagship hotel, The Mira Hong Kong in Kowloon, this quaint but unique and funky hotel is quite an experience for both travellers as well as locals.



Upon entering the hotel, you will notice a very strong chinese influence in terms of decor and setting throughout the hotel. This Chinois Chic decor has it's roots based on a chinese folklore hence it's name " Mira Moon".



You can read this story HERE, and understand a little more the basis for the many " rabbit" figures/ lamps and references you will find around the hotel which I particularly love.




Love the idea of free Vodkha mixers in the room and Nespresso machines as opposed to instant coffee.



As an in-house guest you will also get a free iPad mini to use whilst in HK. A definite handy companion whilst on the go.


My favourite part of the hotel was of course the dining experience! Unique items on the menu included Spring Roll starters that looked exactly like Cuban Cigars....and breakfast Hard Boiled eggs served in what looked like Birds' Nest. Now how cute is that???



My favourite spot in the hotel was the " Secret Garden" where it would be ideal to have a nice cocktail or a crisp glass of Chardonnay under the Umbrella or at the outdoor bar whilst listening to cool lounge music creating that perfect, relaxing ambience after a hard day's work or just spending the night out with the friends.




Not forgetting for those staying in-house, a gorgeous view of the harbour awaits you when you head back to your room ( even from the bathroom), where you can sip champagne whilst relaxing in a warm bath enjoying the HK evening skyline.




For those of you unfamiliar with Hong Kong, Wan Chai where the hotel is located, is just right smack in the hub of the main shopping and eating district on Hong Kong Island. An easy cab ride to Central or a 10 min walk away from Causeway Bay. I certainly hope you will pay this hotel a visit or hopefully choose it as your hotel venue when you next pop into Hong Kong.
