Looking Good without Spending Much

As u can see, Im super duper into accessories at the moment.
They jazz up any old outfit that I already have and take attention away from my boring clothes.

To be frank, I contemplated getting some high-end Chanel ones like many of my friends but that more I look at them - the more I dun find them so nice, actually.
:(

And in hard times like these, I really cannot bear to spend so much on a single item, and they arent even genuine pearls or gold.
(They cost $450 for a pair of earrings, and range from $300-$800 for a single necklace.. Oouch!)

Accessories are spur of the moment items, something u can throw on at any whim or fancy, depending on what u are wearing.
Therefore, I go for cheaper ones, ones that are unique and would help express one's identity.

But if u already have some Chanel ones, U could mix high and low-end items, coz I really do think its a fantastic look too.

But back to cheap ones, now.
U can get really reasonable priced ones from Forever21, Diva and small shops from various shopping centres.
(They cost about $5-$50, depending on size and how intricate the pieces are.)

Not only that, they are so much cheaper than buying a new outfit and u can wear them almost everyday!
I love mixing and matching silver n gold necklaces with brown/gold bangles and a big ring on my forefinger.

I loveeee the '50-60s look, where hippies ruled the world and people made love, not war.
:p

The trick is to get those vintage looking ones, and if u get gold accessories - make sure they are quite worn-out and tarnished looking.

Weird I know, but the older they look, the more boho-chic it is.
Do remember to pair them with oversized sunnies and u are good to go!
:D

Some inspirational pictures of Rachel Zoe and Nicole Ritchie that I totally heart.







Dun they look absolutely stunning?

And u dun have to spend alot to look good.

Now I have much joy in buying cheaper alternatives and using natural products in my skincare.

Peace Out, everyone.

Going to have dinner with close friends tomorrow night.
Cant wait!
