Charms are great keepsakes which are traditionally used as gifts for generations. They are fun, cute, feminine, cheerful and artistic.

I found these creative charm bracelets from Mau Studio that bring out the little girl in me. Most of them are made of glass beads and swarovski crystals, each piece is uniquely created with a distinctive style of its own. If bracelets are not your kind, there are necklaces, rings and earrings to choose from too.

After looking at the lovely scarves, hoodies and other knitted accessories, I have to agree that Mayu is for the women who are sophisticated, fun and informal individuals who are socially conscious and looking for one-of-a-kind pieces.

Though I’m not an interior designer, I always enjoy furniture shopping for the home, read interior design magazines and gather ideas and tips for home decorations. Living in Australia for a while allowed me the opportunity to enjoy the casual ambience of the great outdoors and I enjoyed having a picnic or barbeque dinner by the courtyard or patio.
