An Event to Remember

We were at a family day event last Saturday. It was a day filled with lots of games, performances and of course, delicious food! There was even a cooking show demonstrated by Asmah Laili, a malay celebrity chef.

Asmah Laili visited our booth and took her time to look through our creations. In the midst of it, she told us that she was looking for pot holders. You can tell she is a dedicated chef :) After a short time spent at our booth, she was kind enough to let us know that we have beautiful products. It dawned upon me, after she walked away, that we should have taken a photograph with her as remembrance.

Tara Road worked collaboratively with Kales Closet at the event. Below were some of the jewelleries and accessories that were displayed at our booth.

The brooches were very popular! We are currently working on more new designs for you. If you'd like to be in the know, do sign up as a VIP by filling up the form on your right.

Jan and I had a wonderful time as vendors. A big thank you to all who have supported us at the event. We hope you are happy with your new accessories!

Oval Face: How To Choose Earrings That Flatter You

The most basic accessory - the earrings, can make any woman look more attractive. Since they are worn close to the face, earrings must compliment one's face shape.

When it comes to choosing the perfect pair, determine first, the shape of your face. To do so, stand in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back. Then use a dry bar of soap, eyebrow pencil or lipstick to trace the outline of your face. Now stand back and you will see which face shape you belong to. Below is a diagram to guide you.

Which face shape does your outline resemble?

Over the next few weeks, we will give you a guide on choosing the right pair of earrings to suit the basic face types.

Let's start with what is considered the ideal face - an oval shape. Not every woman is blessed with an ideal face shape but it is possible to achieve the illusion of a slimmer or wider face through the careful choice of earrings.

Oval Face Shape

Lucky you! You can carry off most shapes, sizes, styles, lengths and widths but triangular shaped earrings are especially flattering. So spoil yourself and go crazy with your choices! However, take care to avoid incredibly long and thin earrings that will elongate your face. The wrong choice of earrings can easily pull you down.

Some famous celebrities with an oval face are Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Hilary Swank and Beyonce Knowles.

Try out these earrings that were designed for oval faces:
