Mel's Keys

Here's a lovely pink-and-silver number that we customised for a sassy girl called Melissa who knew what she wanted when she came browsing at our stall at the Chijmes Carnival. She very decisively pointed to Ooh La La and Coral Treasure and told us she wanted a design that would fuse the two. Your wish is our command. We took silver filigree balls, two tones of pink Swarovski crystals, pink rose Quartz beads, faux pearls, and of course, silver vintage keys. And TAH-DAH...this beautiful pair of dangles was born.
The name's a no-brainer: Mel's Keys. :) Love it!

Carnival Update

Thank God for great weather on June 17th! It was raining so much the few days before we got a tad worried. But after a brief shower in the morning, the skies cleared and stayed that way for the rest of the day. =)

As you can see from our stall set-up, we had been furiously churning out new designs the two weeks before the event. Our table was just overflowing with trinkets. We couldn't even display all that we had.

Very new to our collection is the Petite Princess range for little girls. This range is full sugar and spice and everything nice cos that's what little girls are made of.

And yup, we've many new designs which we can't wait to upload onto our main website. Sorry to keep you ladies waiting. So many of you have been asking for our new designs. Well, the thing is, we Fluff designers love making the jewellery but when it comes to photography and uploading and HTML.. well, we kinda prefer to leave those things to the experts and the process invariably takes time. But yeah, soon alright?;)

All in all, it was a rather quiet afternoon at the Carnival. The highlight of the day must have been the free Ben & Jerry's icecream. The Soursop flavour was really yummy and refreshing by the way.

Anyways, just wanna say a big thank you to our friends who came down to say hi. Yes, that's you Connie, Gary, Evelyn, Deepa and Shanti. We truly appreciate you for taking the time to pop by on a lazy Sunday.

Carnival @ Chijmes

Join us at Chijmes this Sunday, June 17th for the Buskers Festival Carnival from 11am to 10pm.
There will be a Flea Market featuring local artists, designers and entrepreneurs, of which we are part of :) And, of course, there will be entertainment: Concert @ Chijmes will feature home-grown bands, such as Wishing for Amadale, Deputy Siren, Ivy's Vendetta and PeepShow, and professional buskers. The event is being held in aid of the Bone Marrow Donor Programme.

More details are available at the event's official website http://www.buskersfestival2007.com/carnival.html

Wouldn't it be a great idea to come on down for brunch/lunch/tea/coffee/dinner with your pals/family and soak in the festivities of the Carnival @ Chijmes? Take a break from the Great Singapore Sale and spend Sunday just chilling out to good music, good food and, of course, great company.
So we'll see you on Sunday then! =)

MAAD sale!

We're heading to Maad again tomorrow and Sunday. This week's theme is S.A.L.E! Yup, it's that time of the month and that time of the year again! Hope to see some of you there over the weekend.

Check out the happening happenings: http://www.maad.sg/edm/edm_maadjun07.htm

Oh and our participation in a charity fair on June 17 has been confirmed. More on the place and time in a while. In the mean time, back to rushing out more designs for Maad. See you at the Red Dot Museum. Cheerios!

The Missing Link

Guess what? The lovely bride Nikki SMS'd me last Sunday to say that she wanted a customised necklace to match her Blissfully Nikki earrings. =) So I spent almost all my free time after work this week, plus my whole off day on Wednesday, matching crystals/pearls/charms with chains and experimenting with several combinations and patterns to design that perfect Y-necklace for Nikki. To add to the challenge, she asked for a detachable part so that the necklace can create two looks. Hmmm, that was a toughie but I think I've it figured out. ;) I've photos to show but I shall keep you in suspense because it may not be the final design. I need to make a trip down to the shops to look for the perfect clasp - the missing link, literally.

Pink fever

This is a long overdue post on Parts 2 and 3 of Nikki's customised wedding jewellery range which was completed the previous week. This beautiful pair of silver-pink earrings on the right -- made with sweet Japanese Tensha beads and glittery Swarovski crystals -- is Blushing Nikki, inspired by none other than Blushing Rose on our website (under the Glam & Gorgeous category).

The matching black quartz-pink Swarovski crystal choker is an elegant piece specially designed to match the lovely bride's evening gown which is a sexy black-lace-on-pink-satin number. We love a bride who dares to wear accessories stamped with her own style and character rather than simply stick with safe but staid diamond jewellery.

Blissfully busy

I was busy customising Nikki's wedding jewellery this week and I'm proud to unveil Part One of three creations. This winter wonderland bling-bling on the right is named Blissfully Nikki!

I simply love the glitter and glamour of this pair of cluster earrings that's dripping with all things lovely, from silver flower & leaf charms to Czech beads to transparent Quartz droplets to, of course, truckloads of Swarovski crystals.

I adore it so much, I feel like making something similar for myself! Yes, yes, don't I say that about almost every design I make. Well, I wouldn't create something I don't love, right? ;) Next up is a classy choker in pink and metallic Swarovski crystals plus black faceted Quartz. And then a glammed-up version of Blushing Rose in silver.

Hope everyone's having a great week and looking forward to a marvellous weekend. Let me leave you with some of our latest designs that we've yet to upload onto http://www.lovefluff.com

Versailles - A little something to reflect the opulence of the French palace.

My Fair Lady - A dainty number to bring out the little princess in you.

Serenity - A pretty swallow soars amid lovely hues of brown and greyish-blues (this photo doesn't quite do justice to the lovely colours of the crystals)

For purchase details, drop us a line at shop@lovefluff.com or watch out for us at the next Maad. While stocks last, of course. :)

Maad Weekend

Fluff made its virgin appearance at the Maad festival last weekend and it was simply HOT HOT HOT! Literally! Thank goodness for the complimentary ice cold beer from Erdinger! We wanna say a big THANK YOU to all of you who came down to support us. We had such a great time hanging out and meeting some really cool people. We love the "designer/artist" atmosphere so much that we'll definitely be back for June Maad, so watch out for our e-mail invite! =)

Pssst! We'll also be selling our stuff at a charity event in June. We'll let you know once the details are confirmed. But be rest assured it'll be in a happening part of town. We just can't wait!

Till then, we continue to diligently churn out new designs...plus we're working on a very exciting project - customised wedding jewellery for Nikki! =)

[We made some lovely new designs for May Maad that we may upload here since we don't have time to update www.lovefluff.com just yet....so watch this space!]

The unbearable lightness of being

I went for a long overdue haircut today. Under a friend's recommendation, I went to a relatively new Korean salon at Pacific Plaza. The results weren't too bad, considering my hair was getting pretty frizzy. The stylist snipped 3 to 4 inches of my dry, wavy locks off and layered whatever was left.

I also had an infra-red hair treatment done. For that, I had to take off all the metal I was wearing on the top half of my body - including my diamond ring and Tag Heur! - and put them into a small glass container! I made sure that box didn't leave my sight, not even when I had my hair washed at the basins -craned my neck to make sure my assets were safe.

The result of the haircut and treatment is, my head feels so much lighter. It's been a long time since I could swing my head and feel my hair bounce.

Something else was light and bouncy today. My earrings. :) Autumn Snowflake, to be precise. It was my first time wearing this pair and I was surprised to realise how light it is. I had to touch my eyelobes several times today to check that my earrings were still there!

In His Time

I love accessories, especially earrings. Everywhere I shop, whether in Singapore or overseas, I'm inevitably drawn to earrings. The bigger, the louder, the shinier, the better. I mean, I can't help it. Earrings are so easy to buy, unlike clothes. All you have to do is hold them against your ear and peer into the nearest mirror. Like it? Goes with the hair colour? Ok, buy. It's so convenient! Not surprisingly, that's my all-time favourite gift for my gal pals too. :)

Ironically, I design my own earrings. It feels great to be able to wear
something that reflects my style and mood for the day. It feels even greater when someone appreciates it. Like today, I was wearing a rose pink version of Summer's Day.

It's a lacey, floral number to match my lacey top and off I went to work and then to Elaine's birthday party at East Coast. Guess what? Elaine saw my lacey danglies and fell in love with them instantly. She liked them more than the glamourous pair of Czech bead earrings I made her. :P I guess I can't please everyone.

Lest you think I'm alone in accessories passion, I'm not. My sister Rosie and our good friend Estella are just as crazy over accessories. One fine day in September 2006, we decided to channel our passion for fashion into a business. And so Fluff was born.

Check out our creations at http://www.lovefluff.com/

It feels good to be able to do something we adore with people we love. The path hasn't been all that smooth so far. Starting this business has cost us some friendships because of some misunderstanding and miscommunication. I believe I speak for my partners when I say we just want to put the unhappiness behind us and let our experience make us stronger. We are trusting God to be our Judge and our Vindicator. He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Rose and Estella, I'm creating this blog for us to document our journey as we embark on our venture together. To God be the glory.
