What stroke me about accessories in Singapore was the high level of design and quality you got for a few bucks. In Vienna you would get crappy quality and designs for the same amount of money... I'm a fan of Subversive jewelry, but it is far too expensive for me as a student right now and I don't have access to any Target. So when I found a necklace at Sgp's ALDO that reminded me a bit of the signature layer look, I had to get it! It was on sale anyway...
Since I love goth looks the colors fit perfectly too. The second piece I got is this faux gold-pearls necklace. The quality looks good, but it isn't though... the pseudo-gold coating wore off after the first sweaty day on my neck.
Take a look here: ALDO Jewelry. It's the US page since the Singaporean one only provides store locations. However, the Sgp shops had a bigger range of necklaces than the US page. The Godiva bag in the back is empty. I had to get 8 pieces to try whether they would be tastebud-blowing as their prices suggest. The crushing result: NO! The chocolates are nice, but the 1-2 bucks versions in the supermarket taste just as well. I might try other pralines or their chocolate elixir sometime later when I feel like having too much money in my wallet though.
Before I left Sgp I had to get a Chomel real pearl necklace. The following one was just ~25€. Ok the color is not real... but they look pretty good for the price. My flash pic washed out the different colored sheen to a monotone grey, but I guess you know how black pearls are supposed to look like. They're more colorful in real ;D
Really colorful stuff coming up the next time
