Necklaces with Statements

I LOVE how a Statement Necklace can make a plain outfit Pop with Personality. The Good News is: This trend is going to stick around for a few seasons to come ...

What is a Statement Necklace?

It is a Flamboyant Accessory worn around the Neck that is Bold yet Elegant. It can be made of Various Materials like Fabrics, Metals, Ropes, Buttons and Beads which can be used on their own, or combined, to create Beautiful Pieces of Jewellery. 

Benefits of Statement Necklaces

• It's a Quick and Cheap way to 'Jazz-up' Plain and Boring Clothes.
• There are many Designs and Styles to choose from, so everyone will be able to find something they like. 
• Because they are so Versatile, they can be worn at daytime for a Girls Lunch or in the Evening for an Night Out on the Town. 
• Apart from Basic Geometric Shapes, you can consider Trendy shapes using Mixed Media, large symbol shape and oversized necklace shapes.

Tips:

• You need to opt for a Design and Style that matches the rest of your outfit.
• If it is the first time you are attempting to wear a Statement Necklace, keep your clothes as plain as possible (in terms of prints), so that your necklace is the Point of Focus, until you feel more confident in Pairing Statement Necklaces and Prints.
• However, if the colour of your necklace it a solid tone i.e. black, feel free to incorporate prints into your outfit.

This is really Chic!

May GlamBox

On Friday, I received my much-awaited May GLAMBOX! And after a Weekend (and Monday) filled with testing the Content these are my Verdicts on the products ...

The April box is filled with 5 products (3 being full products) PLUS a R50-off discount voucher for the Revlon Age Defying Skincare Range and R100 Coupon towards Purchases on 5Rooms.com.

This is the content of my April GLAMBOX:

• Acqua de Gioia by Giorgio Armani Fragrance (Tester): 

  This Fragrance is Lovely with just the right hint of Sophistication! I used it on Sunday for  a Family Lunch and it instantly lifted my mood with it's Perfectly Harmonising Aquatic Notes — RSP R609.00 for 30ml

  
• Crabtree & Evelyn in Citron, Honey and Corriander Body Scrub and Body Soufflé (Testers):

  This smells Absolutely Refreshing and for some odd reason reminds me of Lemon Meringue Pie (which is my Favourite!) The Body Scrub has smooth exfoliating particles which were gentle on my skin while the Body Souffle left my skin feeling soft and moisturised (and smelling like Lemon Meringue ... YUM!). This is definitely an Indulging Treat for your Skin — Body Scrub: RSP R290.00 for 175g and Body Souffle: R420.00 for 200g.

  
  

  
  
  
• Revlon Photoready Mascara (Full Product):

  I received the Blackened Brown Colour which is really great — I needed a new Brown Mascara. I liked that the Brush was outside the Bottle in order to see the structure of it. Although the mascara went on smoothly, I only received the desired effect after numerous applications and several minutes later. I don't like spending hours putting make-up on and my daily routine takes me approximately 4 minutes, so I won't be buying this mascara in the future — RSP R145.00 for 10ml.

  

  
  
• Lip Ice Seductions in Alluring Pearl (Full Product): 

  There were 2 colours available for this product and I'm so glad that I got the Alluring Pearl Colour as I already have the Sultry Pink. I really like owning many lip glosses, that way each bag has it's own designated lip gloss, plus I have one in my car and one on my Car Key ... A girl never knows when she'll need her lips looking kissable — RSP 26.99

  
• Avon Effortless Chic Necklace and Earring Set (Full Product):
  Wow! This was a Really Cool surprise to find in the Glambox, an Elegant Jewellery Set. Although I don't like matching sets, I've already worn the necklace and the earrings on separate occasions  — RSP R150.00

PLUS: 

• R50-off discount voucher for the Revlon Age Defying Skincare Range
• R100 Coupon towards Purchases on 5Rooms.com
