INTRODUCING THE NEW SWAROVSKI FALL COLLECTION 2018

This fall Swarovski invites women to express their individuality with style and tell MY STORY after all, nothing says a style story better than jewelry, watches and accessories. There are endless ways to sparkle with the coveted and game-changing Swarovski Remix Collection brimming with a rich variety of strands that can be easily combined to create seemingly endless combinations of bracelets, necklaces, and strandages. The innovative magnetic feature allows for customization so women can spread their sparkle wherever they go and make the world just that little more brilliant.
FW18_FALL_REMIX_MAGGIE_QC_R72 FW18_CGB_FALL_REMIX_NIGHT_R72Swarovski’s Creative Director Nathalie Colin says of the new collection: “Jewelry is an expression of our individual personality, our style and taste. It is very personal and can therefore give a strong identity to every single look. At Swarovski we believe in empowering women to express themselves through our jewelry, to shine brightly and let their sparkle light up the world all day. With the Swarovski Remix Collection, every woman can follow her mood of the day, and create the jewel that best illustrate who she is. Sparkle meets the ultimate in versatility through glittering letters, birthstones and symbol charms to offer women a palette of options to create one-of-a-kind statements of style and offer seemingly endless ways to sparkle all day, every day.”FW18_CGB_FALL_REMIX_MORNING_R72 FW18_CGB_FALL_REMIX_DAY_R72

Mix and match the collection to create a piece of jewelry that nobody else has and easily adapt it anytime to the mood or occasion. Channel cool romantic, vintage glam, and sparkling elegance styles with chic and elegant combinations that take you from day to night.5365734W360 5403210W360 5435651W360

There is a bright new line added into the mix this season with easy to clip on Swarovski Remix Charms in the form of Swarovski crystal pavé letters, colorful birthstones, and shimmering symbols.

Spell it out and tell your story with alphabet letters, ideal for those who love the more minimalist style with maximum meaning. Plated in rhodium for luxe appeal, dazzling initials shine brightly in clear Swarovski crystal pavé, give any outfit a personal touch, and make brilliant gifts.FW18_SL_FALL_REMIX-1_RGB_72 FW18_SL_FALL_REMIX_2_RGB_72

It’s all about the finer details with the beautifully crafted birthstone Swarovski Remix Charms. Every month of the year is represented by a beautiful birthstone, each with its own meaning. The reverse of each piece features the Swan logo and glittering Swarovski crystal pavé, while the eye-catching front brings dazzling pops of color to everyday looks and make thoughtful gifts that will stand the test of time.

Sentimental and symbolic jewelry is taking center stage. Swarovski offers a shining array of versatile symbols that are beautifully finished on both sides to express as well as protect oneself, including the evil eye, hamsa hand, swan, moon, and star.

I LOVE YOU Hotcakes

These hotcakes are the most delicious way to send a message to your loved ones—best of all, they can eat them up after as well!

Whip up the MAYA Hotcake Mix and pour the batter in a squeeze bottle.On a non-stick pan, draw the reverse shape of the letters of your message with the squeeze bottle. (Make sure it is reverse so that it reads right side up when you flip the hotcake.)Put the pan on an open stove and wait for the hotcake batter to start bubbling. When bubbling stops, flip the pancake with a flat spatula.Arrange the letters accordingly. Garnish with additional toppings for decorations and extra flavor.ILY hotcake arthotcake mix 2 hotcake mix 1rainbow hotcakespig hotcake artcat hotcake artBEAR-Y CUTE Hotcakes

There are so many animals that you can make out of hotcakes, but these bears are always a fan favorite.teddy bear hotcake art

Use MAYA Hotcake Mix and cook different-sized hotcakes to make the head, ears, and/or body.Put the hotcakes together on the plate. Use chocolate syrup / spread and additional fruits to draw a face of the bear, and other details.

BIRTHDAY CAKE Hotcakes

Celebrate your own way by reinventing the typical cake, and adding your own toppings!

Whip up the MAYA Hotcake Mix and add candy sprinkles to the batter. Cook five MAYA hotcakes and stack them together. Add a thin layer of cream cheese in between each hotcake as you stack them up. Put a topping of whipped cream on top of the stack, and pour candy sprinkles over the stack of hotcakes. Finish off with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar.birthday hotcake
