It's no hidden fact that I am an accessory hoader. I have done an entire post earlier on how accessories play such an important role in making an ensemble look it's best! So when I got to know about the Jewel Box by Faballey, I had to order myself one to satiate my hoader side. I logged on to the website and I was made to go through this random fashion and beauty related quiz which would help them figure out my fashion personality and therefore decide which box would suit my style the best! My result was the Glam Box. Well, well, what can I say. They know me too well! After they show you your result, they also give you a glimpse of what you will be receiving in your box! So if you like everything in your box, you can go ahead and order it or if you don't, you could skip it. I, however went ahead and placed an order for mine even though I was unsure about one item in the box!

I got the box a week later. I was so excited, I could hardly wait to open in! Each item came wrapped in a bubble wrap and also with a cute little purple pouch to store it in. I got a necklace, a ear cuff and a collar chain in my box. Now the necklace and the collar chain are right up my alley but the ear cuff, I'll be honest, given a choice I would refrain from buying it because I know I would never wear one! But that's the fun part of the box. You might get an item which you may not usually go for but you could now experiment with it and see if you like it. Which for me, I've fallen in love with the ear cuff!

I've heard of a ton of beauty boxes doing the rounds before, but a Jewel Box was a first and I have to say it's quite an interesting concept. It would make such a cool gift for any fashion lover! The quality of the jewellery is as good as any other jewellery from Faballey.com. Considering that the box contains items worth Rs.2000 but it's actually priced at Rs.1000 without compromising on the
quality, makes it even more worth it. I love the fact that each item came with a separate pouch to store the jewellery in. However I do wish the packaging was a little more personalized and fun. But then there's always scope for improvement. Go now and order your April box if you feel like giving this a try or if you're looking for a fun gift to give a friend. If you or your friend are jewellery lovers like myself, I guarantee, you won't regret it.

How to : Collar Chain


Skull Earrings- Blur, Chain- Craft store, Shirt- Lazymanxcatshop, On my nails- Paz by Zoya

I've been seeing these collar chains all over Asos and even though I've been tempted to add some to my cart, I wanted to first, give this idea a try. This is by far the easiest do-it-yourself project but I had to share it with you! You probably have all the things you need at home and it will take you 2 minutes to transform your old shirt into something a bit more trendy. So let's begin.

What you need :-
-Stud earrings (plain or jeweled)
-Gold or silver chain
-Scissor

Steps
1) Pick out some cool stud earrings from your existing collection or from any store. I found my skull earrings at Blur and because skulls are so in this season, I decided to use these.

2) Next, measure the length of the chain and cut it according to how long you'd want it to hang from your collar. If you ask me, 15cms is good.

3)Now put the chain in from behind your earring and glue it in place if you want. I didn't glue mine because I plan to use this chain with various other earrings.

4)Pierce it through your collar and put the screw on.

And voila. Wasn't this a child's play? Too bad it didn't strike you before you saw this. Now go, try it.
