Novica handmade jewelries

Thailand handmade jewelries

My order of handmade jewelries of semi-precious stones from Novica arrived today.  Colorful Comet, a quartzite and rose quartz necklace made by Anusara and Flight, a peridot choker of butterfly design made by Busarin. 

Those who have read my personal blog recently would realised that these are free for me, courtesy of Novica, in exchange for some linky love here.  But those who have read Viva Woman right at its birth would have realised that my love for Novica’s jewelries dated back to November last year when I wrote about a cool blue turquoise cuff bracelet designed and handmade by Anusara Konkam.  I have always wanted to get one of her pieces and I’m really thankful to Novica for extending me a complimentary voucher to promote their exquisitely designed handmade jewelries. 

Lazy Susan cupcake couture

handmade brooches

Aren’t these cupcakes too pretty to be eaten?  Why they are. 

Handmade by Lazy Susan, who are really two food-fanatical, confection-crazy craftsters who hail from Singapore, these totally cute kitschy one-of-a-kind treats are to be worn! 

Yes!  Wear unique cupcakes, gingerbread men, sushi, dim sum and even ice creams made of felt with pretty embellishments of beads, sequins, buttons, lace and ribbons as brooches or have them made into hair pins, hair clips, necklaces, charm bracelets, or even sewn as appliques onto handmade purses. 

Spotlight: flip flops galore

I love flip flops.  In fact I just bought 2 pairs for a steal over the weekend.  Not branded but the designs are cute nonetheless.   But if you’re in the market looking for the latest Havaianas or Braziliano Praia’s, then you will have to head over to the NUMflipflops which carries the latest designs. 

While you’re there, also check out their cute range of Braziliano Praia Kitten Heels, probably the first ever heeled flip flops.   Softer and more flexible than conventional heels, those flip flops come in a great variety of colors and designs.
