The fuss-worthy accent pieces that will ‘pop!’ your outfits!
A bedroom only feels mine with all my necklaces, headgears, and bows hanging at the back of the room door. They are treasures that took years to collect. An investment worth every penny – because nothing spices up a mustard top quite like a ladies’ blue polkadot bowtie.
Well, what are nice pieces of clothes without some ‘pop!’ to create a sweet resounding ensemble. Today, I’m feeling like dishing out some of my favorite items from my box accessories – for your viewing pleasure. Expect more than just the average necklaces and rings, because we are spilling you with more insider’s info – from handmade notebooks, the sturdy suitcases, right down to ringing bicycle bells! Who needs websites like Etsy when you can literally find all the goodness right here in Malaysia?
#1 Tote Loving
http://toteloving.blogspot.com/
Designer/owner is Sue Lyn, the oriental-looking graphic design student. She takes doodling out of her sketchbook and brings to life delicate, handmade totes. Don’t you just wish rain came in cotton candied colors? The proud Asian lady (check her fashion blog here: http://twistchic.blogspot.com/) gets you lusting over these wonderful totes by dishing out visual mix n’ match ideas for each item.
#2 I Love Snackfood
Not Mamee or dried nori, but just as sinful – Snackfood is a knick-knack vendor with a feminine vintage flair. You can expect surprises like their long series of grandma suitcases to carefully crafted accessories like this one. While they are building a new site, the old one works perfectly fine. Pay their Facebook page a visit to view their complete collection.
#3 Notbook-Notbuk
Gift Tags, RM 6 per pack, RM 20 for 4 packs (excluding postage). All Year Round Journal, RM 35 (excluding postage)
‘Personalized’ and ‘customized’ are the magic words for us, ladies – they make us feel so special. Notbook-Notbuk knows this well and comes up with these local geeky goodness – gift tags, calendars and of course the personalized notebooks. Get an all year round journal for mom this Christmas and we’re sure she’ll love you for this.
#4 GW Bicycle Boutique
Have you been saving up for months just to get yourself a metallic red foldable bike? I have! Instead of driving to a nearby store, why not take your green action to the next level and paddle around – because GW provides good-conditioned brand new and used Japanese bikes with very affordable prices. Now it’s the time for the lads to get some vintage goodness – he can take a spin whilst waiting for his girl to complete their therapy at secondhand boutiques. And for the girls, we can take our pleated midi skirt for a breezy ride!
#6 Emo Ego
Believe me, we were tickled by the name too – but what does their mascot, a black face has anything to do with handmade accessories, you might think? The team explains in their website, ‘One second happy, next second angry – if you set her off. A chameleon of characters rolled into one empowering figure.’ As much as we want to deny, these guys have a point. The collections are derived from their unpredictable nature. Trust finding accessories made out of unconventional materials like peanuts!
#6 Kalla
Kalla fires up a whole lot of fierceness in all their chosen piece – be it clothes or accessories. For one, we are so fascinated with their eclectic Fabrika and chic glam Goldism necklace collections. And tagged at such affordable prices, it’s heaven sent.
#7 The ‘Click’ Shop
Girls making their way to the front, clicking away with big lenses – admirable. But for those with eyes for cutesy cameras, The ‘Click’ Shop knows best what fancies you. From limited edition La Sardinas and now this, sigh, time to fill that piggy bank up!
#8 Delirious
http://deliriousaccessories.blogspot.com/
The one-woman-show blogshop was born out of having too much time, quips the owner. With a little creativity plus handwork, and voila we have these pretty little handpicked and handmade pieces. Along with these beautiful pieces, Delirious also provides hands-on fashion tips too. We like!
#9 Milktee
You can wear anything – but make sure your shoes are to-die-for. This time around we bring you some leather goodness from Milktee. The blog is a one-stop-shop: From clothes, bags, shoes, you name it. The clean white feature and product images from literally every angle are very easy on the eyes, too. No more black background with glitters, please!
