The last time named accessories was in vogue was around the year 2000? Then we had all sorts of accessories that could spell our names, and it was a perfectly popular gift to be giving everyone. Then it became gauche and lay low for awhile. I can't remember if I received the LV & Me Letter M necklace as a birthday present in 2014 or 2015 from my boyfriend/fiance. But honestly my first thought was that I wouldn't wear it, and... it turned out to be too long. Sigh. But i appreciated the thought though. I think LV revived the letter charms, but it's difficult to track. Gabriel got the Essential V ring, and i think it's beautiful <3, but too chunky for my hand i suppose. It's super nice, but the "V" on his ring did fall off, and we had to go back to LV to have it exchanged. Recently Chloe has been publicising this series of rings that look pretty good :) More variations below: I still prefer the rings in Chloe's collection compared to their wallet and bag charms. This photo was taken from net-a-porter, click on link to be directed to the page. Prices stated are in USD. Singapore has our own version too. Michael Trio is taking the instagram feed by storm by sponsoring influencers with these round plate necklaces with an alphabet in the centre. You might have seen it around. Though it's 14k gold, hmm. End of the day, I think we can see for sure that the alphabet customised accessories trend is coming back in a moderately big way, but do keep your designs simple and classy. The simpler the better.
Unless you're like the gorgeous Harley Quinn. I recently got a St Ives Hamper from Nuffnang. It is AMAZINGLY generous. Like, I probably won't need to buy shower foam for the next 3 months or something if i succeed in using everything. Then again, we all have our preference right? So I'll try to use a little bit of all and update this post as it goes along ;) Front left to right: St Ives Blemish Control - Apricot Scrub No kidding, I had to read the labels carefully for me to decide whether it's really for the face or for the body :X I mean, you can have body acne right? Something that you need to be carefully aware of is to read the instructions of products before applying them on your face. It's surprising how many people don't do that. So they did mention that it's a drying formula, so instead of starting and using it instantly as your facial wash, start by using it once a day first, and slowly lead up to three times a day. Drying is a scary term. So.. i opted to use it in the shower, and followed it with my usual facial wash. As an exfoliate, the "beads" are larger in size compared to other exfoliates, so it takes some getting used to. Am not a fan of apricot scents, so I'm not exactly impressed with how the scrub smells, but its faintly fruity and wouldn't offend non-apricot lovers :) St Ives Smooth & Glow - Apricot Exfoliating Body Wash Upcoming St Ives Even & Bright - Pink Lemon & Mandarin Exfoliating Body Wash Gabriel loves how it spells! But I don't :X It's citrusy, though a very pretty pink color presumably from the pink lemon. There are micro exfoliants in the gel, which they claim are natural... salt? Regardless, not bad. But nothing impressive unless you love citrus :) St Ives Nourish & Soothe - Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Wash Upcoming St Ives Refresh & Revive - Pear Nectar & Soy Body Wash I have an extreme weakness for pear/peony/ylang ylang-scented stuffs, so this is what I'm going to try tomorrow xD EVERYONE does it. Okay, anyone that matters anyway. Before i expound, look at the following logos: Logos above and analysis extracted from: http://themgroupcreative.com/logo-design-colors-guide-consumers/ Role of Colors: Colors are a key consideration in brand and logo development. The palette selected for the logo identity and supporting colors used throughout various communication pieces are intentional, whether to evoke emotion, provide visual cues or collectively tell a story. Emotions of Colors: We usually associate fast food brands with warm, bright colors because they catch our attention. Vibrant tones are, in fact, well received by just about everyone. Imagine if McDonald’s changed out the golden arches for muted blue ones. The restaurant would lose the pizzazz and immediacy of the promise. The arches would blend in with the sky and competitors’ brands would stand out and take the lead. (maybe that's why Taco Bell all but died out in Singapore) Blue represents security and solid stability. Because of this, banks often use blue in their visual brand marks. The light blue color Pepsi used in the Pepsi Refresh project was a nice modern blue, which stands for health, wellness, and balance. Such a cheater you are, Pepsi. As we all know, green has become a very important color and word in the last decade. Companies that want to be known as “green” often incorporate the color into their palette. On the other end of the spectrum, red is one of the colors most widely used in advertising. It is everywhere from fast food to lipstick, and red stands for passion, love, food, and vitality. |
