NYLON x Plaza Singapura Christmas 2023 Gift Guide: Jingle Belles

We all know someone who turns it up, no matter the occasion, whether it’s best-dressed at Halloween, or the most bejewelled disco ball at holiday parties who’s walking in the room to make the whole place shimmer. Quiet luxury be damned, this is a stylish stunner, the belle of the ball with, thankfully, zero mean girl energy too — I mean, that’s why you’re willing to splurge on a nice gift right? That said, there’s no shame in aspiring to be that girl too, and this one’s for her and all the girl’s girls in Barbie Land, because female friendships are some of the most fulfilling and heartwarming ones around. Go ahead, pamper her already.

PANDORA SPARKLING HERBARIUM CLUSTER PENDANT NECKLACE [GIVEAWAY]

For the girl who’s not afraid of a little shine and a whole lot of sparkle, this Sparkling Herbarium Jewellery Gift Set features a pendant necklace and matching stud earrings, both 14k gold-plated. The floral motif is brought out by clusters of clear sparkling pear-shaped and marquise-shaped stones, which we imagine any romantic would love to wear, especially when they’re dressing up for date nights and special occasions.

$349 (U.P. $508), available at Pandora, Plaza Singapura #01-K5.

DISNEY X ALDO PLATINUM COLLECTION

RiRi was right when she told us to shine bright, all the more possible with the exclusive Disney x ALDO Platinum Collection, a series of holiday footwear and accessories that take glittering silver gems to the extreme. You’ll find a particularly glitzy pair of Silver Sneakers ($159), or perhaps bedazzled Stessy Pumps ($209) that remind us of Cinderella’s iconic glass slippers. Either way, a piece of this is both Disney 100th anniversary memorabilia, and a sure way to be remembered.

SWAROVSKI LUNA DROP EARRINGS

This ones for those who believe in the fate of the stars, and how Mercury’s position in the sky is a great determiner of our day’s circumstances. No shade though, because astrology girlie or not, you’re bound to be drawn to the mysterious allure of these Luna earrings. An elegant pair of crescent moons come adorned with a pavé of crystals in chic dark tones, while the asymmetrical style sees one earring holding a detachable pearl.

RAY-BAN REVERSE WAYFARER SUN

The epitome of cool, this Ray-Ban Wayfarer is more unique than before — the eyewear brand introduces its most disruptive design yet, the Reverse, which features a concave lens instead of the regular convex one, an engineering feat that gently fits the curves of the cheekbones, and helps reduce 70% of reflections and glare. The square-shaped Wayfarer silhouette itself can be traced back to ’60s rock and ‘90s hip-hop culture, making this the ideal gift for those who love to be in-the-know.

$246, available at ray-ban, plaza singapura #01-25.

CHARLES & KEITH GABINE LEATHER CRYSTAL-EMBELLISHED HOBO BAG
