Effortless charm. Sexy but sweet.  Getting attention without demanding it.  That’s the design philosophy behind Starlet Accessories, a line of jewelry created by New York based, Singapore bred Christine Chow. 

Each piece under the Starlet Accessories range is designed to accompany the modern girl from day into evening, spring into fall, with a playful vibe and urban glamour. Starlet fills the niche for exceptional creations that are at once unique, beautiful and wearable; accessories that enhance a woman, not overwhelm her. 

Check out this incredibly beautiful bracelet displaying a fabulous contrast of textures including .95 silver, leather cords as well as orange, white plus green ribbons designed and handcrafted by Brazilian designer Luciana Sodreas. 

Dubbed Summer Rhapsody, it culminates with the glistening presence of pearl, carnelian, and garnet trios, accompanied by amethyst, citrine, peridot and mystical moonstone.

Luciana Sodreas says she has a lifelong fascination with colours and shapes.

White totes are really nice.  Especially so if they’re big and roomy.  Check out these two that are available at Pink Mascara.

Goldenbleu White Patent Luella Bag, the “IT” bag of the year comes in patent Italian pigskin leather with brass-plated hardware.  I like the interesting look of the double, circular handles but the front frame pocket with kiss-lock closure needs some getting used to.  Overall however, it looks like a functional pretty tote with a 14″ main compartment zipper plus suede-lined interior featuring 8.5″ zipper pocket, two patch pockets, and key ring. 

No hibiscus please.  If you like to wear flowers on your hair, then you ought to check out these really pretty kanzashi hair clips.  Kanzashi, by the way, are Japanese folded fabric hair ornaments traditionally worn with kimonos and here’s a little history on this Japanese hair ornament:

Hair styles were considered to symbolize the soul of a woman, and naturally hair ornaments played an important role in the wardrobe. Hair-pins (kanzashi) originated as “Kazashi no hana”, which were believed to magically endow a woman with the pureness and essence of flowers.
