OHM Beads Holiday Style | Beadmas 2020 | #BeadmasStories
Happy Beadmas 2020! I hope you are all had a great week. I cannot believe it is already Friday and day 4 of Beadmas!
In today’s blog post, I am sharing a cozy outfit styled with some holiday themed OHM Beads piece.
So, make sure to grab a delicious cup of tea and let me share my outfit with you!The Jewellery:
For jewellery, I am wearing my Lucky Red OHM Whip Bracelet. It is limited edition and exclusive to OHM in Taiwan. It is such a brilliant pop of red. Perfect for the holiday season, but year round too! On it, I have a mixture of Beadmas, Christmas/Holiday beads, as well as beads such as OHM OHMily and OHM Bead Mail. These two beads remind me of this amazing bead community and the wonderful people at OHM.
I am also wearing my OHM Drop Necklace paired with OHM Candy Crush, OHM Sugar Dipped and OHM Ice Cube. I am obsessed with OHM Ice Cube and find myself using it with a lot of necklace designs. It is perfect for the winter season! BUT…it’s also fun to wear in the summer, when you need to “cool off”. It is an exclusive bead to OHM in Thailand.
The Clothing:
For clothing, I am wearing a ruffled sweater vest I purchased from Anthropologie almost two years ago. This vest is a great layering piece and it is very versatile. I can dress it up or down. I can also wear it in the spring, autumn and winter seasons. It has a nice amount of warmth to it! I also love the creamy colour to it! I tried to find a similar version, but I couldn’t find an exact match. Another vest I have been eying (in a similar colour) is the Maddie Sherpa Vest from Anthropologie.
For today’s outfit, I paired it with an older cotton shirt from Marshals for a more casual look.

Moress Review | Bracelet & Charms
Hello everyone! I hope this blog post finds you and your loved ones safe, healthy and doing well, during this time. <3
In today’s blog post, I am excited to share a review on four jewellery pieces from the Moress collection: 3 beads/charms and a bangle bracelet. A kind thank you to Moress for gifting me these items to review, as well to each and every one of you, as I wouldn’t have these opportunities without your support.
Moress was created with the belief that people express their individuality. Every person has a creative mind. We invite you to explore our collection and create your own unique piece of jewelry. It is all about involvement and style.
– MoressAbout Moress
Moress is a jewellery company based in Thailand. They have their own line of jewellery, as well as carry the following brands: Cristy Cali, Chronicles Amber, Grace Amulet, La Orr, Manterra, Millefiori, LoveIs and XJewellery.
The name Moress, meaning peacock in Thai, symbolises beauty, elegance, prosperity, and love. In Thai folklore, peacocks can turn any poison into its lavish and vibrant plumage. This is what Moress represents – beauty and strength.
– MoressMoress Packaging
My Moress order came well packaged. A bubble wrap envelope was placed in an additional envelope, and the jewellery items were packaged in two Moress jewellery boxes.
The three charms were placed in a Moress charm box. Inside the box, they were strung on a silver ribbon that was taped behind the boxed insert, to keep them from falling off.
The bangle was inside a Moress bracelet box. It also was placed into a ziplock bag and anti-tarnish pouch. I love that they included the ziplock bag because it further prevents the bracelet from tarnishing.
Inside the box, it also had a silver polish cloth, a lovely surprise to see!Shipping
My Moress order shipped very fast. It took about a week to arrive. For my friends in Canada and the USA, you might need to pay duty, as I had a balance owing on my order.
The Jewellery | Moress Collection
Now, it is time to share my review and first impressions of the Moress Jewellery. Let’s start with the charms/beads!
Bunny Bella Bead | Moress Charms
As soon as I saw the Bunny Bella bead, I was in-love! I first saw her in a bracelet design by @saidibear. I loved the she had a genuine Opal stone (as her tummy) and a beautiful hand-painted flower detail, on her back. When Moress contacted me, I was so excited to have the opportunity to see her in-person!
Bella Bunny is a limited edition bead for Easter 2020.Bunny Bella is beautifully detailed. I love beads that are packed with detail. She has the cutest little nose, furry detailing over her body, a fluffy tail and beautiful upright ears. On her back, she carries a beautiful, hand-painted enamel flower. It is so bright and cheerful, a lovely reminder of spring. She is lovely weight, not too heavy.
She is made from Sterling Silver and retails for $47.53 USD.
The Moress hallmarks are placed on her foot. She has a threaded core.I love Bunny Bella soo much! She is just the sweetest and has made me intrigued to order from Moress Spring/Summer 2020 collection, which features more charming little forest creatures and beautiful hand-painted enamel flowers.
Royal Heritage Elephant Bead | Moress Charms
The Royal Heritage Elephant bead is magnificent. He represents the Thai elephants and Moress dedicated this special bead to raise funds for Save Thai Elephants foundation. There are only 500 made and 10% of all sales will be donated. Royal Heritage Elephant retails for $28.50 USD.
He is lovingly detailed with colourful enamel details of maroon red, green, blue and yellow found on his garments, both on his head, back and feet.
Royal Heritage Elephant has adorable big ears, a cute curling tail and beautiful tusks. He is also made from Sterling Silver.
The Moress hallmarks are found on the bottom of his back feet. He has a great weight about him, about the same as Bunny Bella. He has a threaded core.
While Bunny Bella is still my favourite pick, Royal Heritage Elephant is a very close second. He looks so sweet and gentle and I am so excited to style with him!
Heritage Bead No. 593| Flower Pattern | Moress Charms
The last bead I have to share with you is a decorative charm. It is called the Heritage Bead No. 593 | Flower Pattern. As soon as I saw it on Moress estore, I fell in-love with it. I loved the floral details and delicate sparkle. It is made of Sterling Silver with cubic zirconia accents. Decorative beads are a must (for me) when it comes to designing!
This bead was inspired by our traditional Sukhothai Silver Jewellery, Fabric Patterns and Thai Culture. We embrace our own roots and deliver a design that can last for generations. Timeless and beautiful heritage bead.
– MoressLike the Royal Heritage Elephant, 10% of all sales will go to the Save Thai Elephant foundation. This bead retails for $38.02 USD.
The cubic zirconias provide a delicate sparkle on the Heritage Bead No. 593. They appear to be well-set and I am not worried about them falling out.
The Moress hallmarks are found on the side of the bead, near the core.This bead is light weight with no threading. I love how dainty it is and plan to order a second one! I think having two would pair with Bunny Bella beautifully. And maybe a few of the new enamel flowers too!
All three beads are beautiful and surprised me with their quality of silver and craftsmanship. I love that they have something to appreciate, from every angle…especially on Royal Heritage Elephant and Bunny Bella.
Now, it’s time to give these three beads/charms a bracelet home:Heritage Bangle No. 52 | Moress Bracelet
Browsing on Moress website, I saw some gorgeous bangle designs. In the past, I had been tempted by Maud of @mycharmdmoments1974 and her bangle, but as soon as I saw the Heritage Bangle No. 52, it was love!
It had a beautiful fairytale feel to it and I loved that it was an oval shape (quite promising for a comfortable fit).
The Heritage Bangle No. 52 is a Sterling Silver bangle with Stoppers. It features a beautiful filigree design along the sides. Like the other pieces in Moress’ Heritage Collection, 10% of all sales will be donated to the Save Thai Elephant foundation. It retails for $50.38 USD.
The stoppers have clear silicone inside, to help keep beads/charms in place. They are very shiny and I had no issues with the silicone falling out.
I couldn’t wait to add my three Moress beads/charms onto the bangle. I found the stoppers did a good job at keep the beads in place.
Although I wouldn’t normally style all there of these beads together, I thought they looked quite cute all together! I loved that the detailing on Royal Heritage Elephant echoed the pretty filigree detail on the bangle too!
When I first put the bangle on, it seemed quite big! But I soon realized if you gentle squeezed it, it helped customize a perfect fit!
As I thought, the oval shape was very comfortable on. The bracelet (on it’s own) is very lightweight. When I added the three charms, it still felt very comfortable and I could see myself adding 3-4 more beads, depending on size.
I also feel this bangle will accommodate other charms and beads from other brands too, which I love! I love when my bracelets can be more “universal” with other bead brands, as it opens the door to many fun and creative design options.
The Moress Heritage bangle is also very easy to design with, as there is no need to thread beads/charms on or off of it.
And that is it for today’s blog post! I hope you enjoyed reading my review on Moress. Please let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them! I would also love to know if any of you have any pieces from Moress and what you think of their jewellery pieces. Please leave a comment, down below!
Have a wonderful rest of your day! I hope every one is staying safe and healthy.

Pandora Valentines | Bracelet & Outfit
Thinking about how blessed I am to have my sweet husband in my life. A new video is up on my youtube channel! I am so proud with how this video turned out. Would you believe I probably spent about 12.5 hours total with filming and editing? I tend to get these fun ideas and images in my head of how I want a video to look…and I may get a bit crazy with filming and editing to make it as close to the ideas in my head!
I often get asked, “who films your videos”. This is such a compliment to me because…well, actually I film all my own footage and edit it myself!!! I usually set up a tripod and play around with different angles. This may take more time, but it is worth it because I get some lovely shots.
Occasionally, (more so, if I am outdoors), my husband will help take some footage for me. I don’t like leaving my tripod and camera unattended, so I feel safer having him around to guide the camera! However, this can be challenging too because I am not always sure if he is capturing the exact angle I am envisioning. Often, I’ll try to show him first, so he can have a rough idea. But what also ends up happening, is he sees a cool shot or angle and I end up loving that too! In this particular video however, it was all filmed by me!Here is where you can watch my video! This particular video features my Pandora Valentine’s Day bracelet (all about the charm meanings and why I put them on) as well as detailed information about my Valentine’s Day outfit and other accessories including handbag, shoes and other Pandora jewellery. Here’s a couple shots:
Two special Pandora Bracelets and delicious Charbonnel Rose Chocolates 
My Loefflerr Randall Bucket Bag is the perfect handbag for Valentine’s Day! 
I love my blush velvet Nine West Shoes!!! What did you wear on Valentine’s Day and did you have a special Valentine’s Day outfit?
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Love Emily xx
