I'm not sure with you - but for me, when I hear 'deck the halls with boughs of jolly', in my mind the audio file sounds like this instead: 'Deck yourself with more sparkles, more shine, more accessories for the holiday season~..... (breathe) Fa la la la la la la la la."

I'm sure most ladies hear the same thing.

Win 'Best Dressed' in your office/class Christmas party

---

Now as you flit from one Christmas party to the next, you for sure want to be dressed in your holiday's best. Whether you're going for the safe, predictable all-black ensemble (It's slimming, so you're free to eat a lot), or a costume for your themed office party (I'm betting the theme is 'retro' -- can we please stop making this a thing already), or maybe the classic red-and-green-and-white combo (Umm. Why.) -- whatever you're going for, make sure you get your accessories right.

Be instantly holiday-party-ready with these one-of-a-kind, handmade statement necklaces from Flutter:

Because everyone else's accessories come from Forever 21

---

Made from semi-precious stones, crystals, beads that are 100% locally sourced, Flutter accessories are bound to be great conversation starters -- "I love your necklace, where'd you get it?" is infinitely better than "Cute necklace, I have the same one! From Forever 21, right?"

Kat Ong, designer and owner of Flutter - and an accessory lover herself - says, "[I use] a limitless variety of stones: turquoise, quartz, citrine, agate, moonstones, jade, prehnite, pearls, and stones from all colors of the rainbow. [I also use] swarovskis, glass beads and crystals."

Kat laments: "Some accessories are too expensive for the material used... [while] the famous accessories from Forever 21, although cheap, aren’t made of good quality materials."

I personally love Flutter's bold colors and the tropical luxe vibe that they add to any outfit -- definitely great investment pieces for every modern Filipina fashionista. I'm not saying abandon Forever 21 accessories (I can never!), but mixing in unique accessories from local brands is surely bound to make you stand out from the crowd.

Now. If I can just get our Christmas party theme changed from retro to something else...
