Collar Necklaces and Island Adventures (AD)


A Journey in Style and Travel

After a brief bout of a sore throat, I’m delighted to finally feel well enough to showcase a stunning new accessory gifted by Efoxcity. This collar necklace instantly captured my heart with its ethnic yet highly fashionable look, and I couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. I’m thrilled to dive into this post, blending my love for fashion with a travel story that’s close to my heart. What follows is a detailed look at how this necklace has sparked my style experiments, paired with a glimpse of my trekking adventure in the Jeju Islands. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together.

Discovering the Collar Necklace Trend

Collar necklaces have become a major style statement, admired by fashion bloggers worldwide. The versatility of this accessory is remarkable—it effortlessly complements both shirts and casual tops, while also adding a touch of elegance to gorgeous dresses. Even without a collar, the necklace can enhance any outfit, providing a chic and sophisticated touch. I’ve been experimenting with this exquisite collar necklace from Efoxcity, pairing it with various shirts and dresses to complete my wardrobe looks. If you’ve been following fashion bloggers, you might have noticed this trend gaining popularity. What are your thoughts? I’m excited to hear! The piece I received from Efoxcity has this beautiful ethnic vibe that feels fresh yet timeless. It’s got intricate detailing that catches the eye without being over the top, and the colors—a mix of earthy tones with a pop of brightness—make it stand out. The first time I tried it on, I paired it with a simple white button up shirt, and it instantly transformed the look from basic to something special. The way it sits just above the collarbone gives it a polished feel, almost like it’s framing the outfit. I’ve since tried it with a flowy sundress and even a casual t shirt, and each time, it adds this effortless flair that I can’t get enough of.

Fashion trends seem to be leaning into bold yet wearable pieces, and collar necklaces fit that vibe perfectly. I’ve seen them popping up everywhere—on Instagram feeds, in magazine spreads, and even on the streets during my last trip to the city. They’re not just a passing fad either; there’s something about their structure that makes them feel like a staple. I love how they bridge the gap between casual and dressy, so you can wear them to a lunch date or a fancier evening out without missing a beat. For me, this Efoxcity necklace has become a go to piece, and I’ve been having fun figuring out new ways to style it. One of my favorite combos so far was with a denim shirt and some high waisted jeans. The necklace added a touch of sophistication to an otherwise laid back look, and I got a few compliments when I wore it out to grab coffee with friends. Another day, I layered it over a black turtleneck dress, and it gave the outfit this artsy, curated feel—like I’d spent way more time planning it than I actually did. That’s the beauty of a good accessory: it does the heavy lifting for you. I’m curious if any of you have jumped on the collar necklace trend yet. What’s your favorite way to wear them?







A Trekking Adventure in the Jeju Islands

In addition to my fashion exploration, I’ve added a travel treat for you at the bottom of this post—a YouTube video capturing my trekking experience in the Jeju Islands. The sun, sand, and adventurous trekking made it an unforgettable journey. Don’t miss the details in the travel section, and feel free to subscribe to my channel for more exciting content. The Jeju Islands have been on my list for a while, and when I finally made the trip, it exceeded every expectation I had. There’s something magical about that place—the rugged landscapes, the ocean views, and the sense of peace you get even when you’re sweating up a trail. The trek I filmed was along the Hallasan Mountain trails, which is one of the big draws for anyone visiting Jeju. It’s not an easy hike, but it’s doable if you pace yourself, and the views from the higher points are worth every step. The video starts with me lacing up my boots at the base, the morning air still cool and the sky just starting to brighten. You’ll see clips of the path winding through forests, with these massive volcanic rocks scattered around like nature’s own sculptures. There’s a moment where I stop to catch my breath near a little stream, and you can hear the water trickling—it’s one of those sounds that just washes the stress away.

Halfway up, the trail opens up to this incredible view of the coastline, and I couldn’t resist panning the camera around to capture it. The sun was high by then, glinting off the water, and I remember thinking how lucky I was to be there. The descent was trickier, with some steep spots that had me gripping my trekking poles, but it was all part of the adventure. By the time I got back to the base, my legs were jelly, but I felt this huge sense of accomplishment. The video ends with me sitting on a beach near Seongsan Ilchulbong, another iconic spot in Jeju, eating a well earned snack and watching the waves roll in. What I loved most about the trip wasn’t just the scenery, though that was stunning. It was the little moments—like chatting with other hikers from all over the world or stopping to try some street food in a nearby village after the trek. Jeju has this mix of raw nature and warm hospitality that’s hard to beat. If you watch the video, you’ll see why I’m already itching to go back. I’d love to hear if any of you have been to Jeju or have it on your travel list—what’s your must do there?

Building a Style Story on Social Media

Lately, I’ve been sharing my style adventures, including the stunning collar necklace, on my Instagram account (@fashionistaera). I’m grateful for the growing support and engagement. Managing social media can be overwhelming, but I’m enjoying the creative process, experimenting with different filters, and expressing myself daily. It’s a labor of love, and I appreciate the encouragement from my lovelies who motivate me every day. Loads of love to you all! Instagram has become this fun space for me to play with fashion and connect with people who get it. Posting about the collar necklace was a no brainer—it’s such a photogenic piece. One of my first shots was a close up of it against that white shirt I mentioned, with the sunlight hitting it just right to show off the details. I used a warm filter to bring out the earthy tones, and the response was so sweet—lots of likes and comments asking where it was from. It’s been a boost to keep experimenting, like when I shared a reel of me styling it three different ways in under a minute. That one took a few tries to get the transitions smooth, but it was worth it.

The community on there is what keeps me going. I’ll get messages from followers saying they tried a similar look or picked up their own collar necklace because of my posts, and it’s the best feeling. I’ve been trying to post consistently, usually a mix of outfit shots, little life updates, and the occasional travel throwback like the Jeju trip. Finding the right filter is half the battle—sometimes I’ll spend way too long tweaking the brightness or contrast to get the vibe I want. But it’s all part of the fun, figuring out how to tell my story through these little squares. Engagement’s been growing, which is exciting but also a bit daunting. I try to reply to as many comments as I can because it feels like a conversation, not just me shouting into the void. One follower asked how I’d style the necklace for a night out, so I posted a quick pic with it over a black dress and some heels—super simple but it worked. Another suggested pairing it with a scarf, which I hadn’t thought of, so I’m planning to try that next. It’s a two way street, and I love that I’m not just sharing but learning too.


Why This Necklace Feels Special

The Efoxcity collar necklace isn’t just another accessory for me—it’s become a symbol of getting back to myself after that sore throat knocked me out for a bit. Being under the weather always throws me off, and having something new to play with fashion wise was the perfect pick me up. It’s funny how a small thing like a necklace can shift your mood, but this one did. Maybe it’s the way it combines that ethnic flair with a modern edge, or maybe it’s just that it came at the right time. Either way, it’s been a joy to wear and share.

I’ve always believed fashion is personal, and this piece fits that idea perfectly. It’s versatile enough to match my mood, whether I’m feeling casual or a little more dressed up. Plus, it’s sparked conversations—online and in person—that remind me why I love doing this. My husband even noticed it when I wore it to dinner the other night, saying it looked “cool and different,” which is high praise from him since he’s not usually into fashion details. That moment made me smile, knowing it’s not just me who sees something special in it.

Tying It All Together

Writing this post feels like a celebration of two things I love: style and travel. The collar necklace has given me a fresh way to express myself, and the Jeju trip reminded me how much I thrive on adventure. They’re different worlds, but they connect through that sense of discovery—finding a new favorite accessory or a hidden trail with a killer view. I hope this blend of fashion and travel resonates with you, whether you’re a style enthusiast, a wanderlust chaser, or both.

If you check out the YouTube video, you’ll see the Jeju trek in all its glory—sweaty moments and all. And if you’re on Instagram, swing by @fashionistaera to say hi or share your own collar necklace ideas. I’m always up for a chat about fashion or travel tips.
