LG Electronics unveils its advanced new LG Styler


LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its advanced, new LG Styler clothing care solution at CES 2024. Incorporating a handheld, high-pressure steamer, the Dynamic Moving Hanger™ and Dual TrueSteam™ technology, the latest Styler delivers faster and more effective clothes-refreshing cycles with improved drying, dehumidification and de-wrinkling performance.

 

A first for the LG Styler lineup, the new model features a handheld, high-pressure steamer that makes it easier to remove wrinkles from shirts and other garments, and saves the hassle of having to use a separate iron. Users can simply hang their wrinkled clothes inside the door, take out the steamer attached to the bottom of the Styler, and initiate the steam process with the press of a button. The steamer employs powerful, high-pressure steam to penetrate garments, leaving them smooth and soft, significantly reducing the need for ironing.1 Moreover, the compact size of the high-pressure handy steamer enhances convenience and allows for easy storage inside the Styler.

Implementing the exclusive Dynamic Moving Hanger system, LG Styler can provide tailored care for various types of garments and fabrics. Unlike its predecessor – the Moving Hanger, which simply moved side-to-side for dust removal – the new system provides a delicate and powerful garment care. It boasts enhanced dust removal, deodorization,2 drying, and wrinkle mitigation with a Twisting twisting Motiona rotating mechanism. It also contributes to Styler’s upgraded cycles, such as the Fine Dust Cycle, which twists and shakes up to 350 times per minute to remove large and fine dust particles from clothing.3 

A key feature of the new Styler is LG’s Dual TrueSteam technology. Instead of a single heater, Dual TrueSteam employs two heaters to boil water and generate steam, allowing for more precise control of the steam spray’s volume and strength. The course for delicate fabrics such as silk and cashmere utilizes only one of the system’s two heaters, delivering gentle fabric care through optimized steam-flow control. Dual TrueSteam also enables the Styler’s Sanitary Coursecycle, a specialized cycle that keeps clothes hygienically clean by eliminating over 99.99 percent of the germs and 11 different kinds of harmful bacteria. 24 

Additionally, LG’s latest clothing care solution has a built-in ventilation system to automatically circulate air throughout the room. It also offers a dehumidification function that can collect up to 10 liters of moisture35 from the room without opening the door of the Styler; ensuring a pleasant indoor environment and preventing clothes from becoming damp after being ‘refreshed by  Styler.’ 

For convenient management, the new Styler’s time-saving Pants Press adopts an upgraded hanging structure that enables sharper, wrinkle-free creases. What’s more, the new Styler has an intuitive-to-use LCD touchscreen that makes course selection quick and easy.

“The new LG Styler is a versatile clothing care solution that ensures optimal care for diverse fabrics, and optimal convenience for our customers,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. The pioneer in clothing care systems, LG will continue to enhance LG Styler’s capabilities, redefining wardrobe management and making it easier than ever to keep clothes looking and smelling fresh.”

Post-Holiday Glam: Treating yourself with fine Jewelry—and where to get it!


Now that the holiday festivities have wrapped up, and you're done with the flurry of planning reunions and the budgeting blitz of buying gifts for all your loved ones, you might find yourself in a pleasant predicament: having some extra funds at your disposal.


This post-holiday period is a golden opportunity for self-indulgence, a chance to reward yourself for your diligent budgeting and thoughtful spending throughout the season. So what should you do with that surplus funds?


Well, it’s a good problem when faced with delightful choices. Perhaps it's time to satiate your wanderlust with a trip to a place you've always dreamed of visiting, immersing yourself in new cultures and experiences. Alternatively, consider investing in your well-being with some luxurious self-care, whether it's a relaxing retreat or a coveted item that enhances your daily life. If a pragmatic approach appeals more, strengthening your savings could provide a sense of security and satisfaction.


But if you want to reward yourself with something special, the key is to select something that transcends the ordinary – an item that not only delights in the present but also promises value in the years to come.


It might be a gadget that you’ll use for the following year, or maybe a timeless piece of art, or a classic designer bag, the ideal choice is one that marries immediate gratification with enduring appeal and potential appreciation in value.


As the new year unfolds, it's time to make a choice that not only celebrates the past year but also augments the years ahead.


My Personal Journey with Fashion and Jewelry


Over the years, my tastes have evolved, beginning with a fascination for designer bags, then transitioning to the aromatic world of scents, and recently, because of the influence of my daughter, embracing the timeless elegance of jewelry. This progression underscores a deeper appreciation for pieces that offer both style and enduring value.


Investing in jewelry is a wise choice due to its timelessness, emotional significance, and potential for value appreciation. High-quality jewelry pieces like diamond earrings or gold necklaces transcend fleeting fashion trends, often becoming cherished heirlooms. Unlike other assets, jewelry can be enjoyed daily, adding beauty to everyday life while appreciating in value, especially those crafted with precious metals and stones.


Furthermore, fine jewelry often represents exceptional craftsmanship and uniqueness, adding to its investment worth. It serves as a hedge against inflation, maintaining its intrinsic value even as market conditions fluctuate. Beyond monetary value, jewelry carries immense

emotional significance, marking special moments or personal achievements. This blend of aesthetic appeal and financial potential makes jewelry a unique and compelling addition to any investment portfolio.


Selecting the Right Shop: The Importance of Authenticity


In your search for that perfect piece of jewelry, the choice of store is paramount. Amidst a sea of enticing offers, it’s crucial to prioritize authenticity and craftsmanship. Enter M Lhuillier Jewellers, a name synonymous with trust and excellence in the jewelry industry. Renowned for their exquisitely handcrafted pieces, M Lhuillier ensures that each item in their collection, from delicate pendants to grandiose engagement rings, is of the highest quality.

Their mounted stocks blend in-house craftsmanship with select pieces from top-tier Hong Kong suppliers, offering a unique collection that marries traditional expertise with contemporary design. The gold in their pieces hails from Italy, Spain, local artisans, and Japan, providing a variety of styles and finishes to suit any preference.


Pearls, a symbol of refined elegance, are carefully selected from the best sources: black pearls from Tahiti and Australia, saltwater pearls from Japan, and freshwater pearls from China and the Philippines. Each pearl is chosen for its luster, quality, and beauty, ensuring that every pearl piece from ML Jewellers is a testament to nature’s splendor.


Even their colored stones are meticulously sourced, with blue sapphires and rubies from Thailand, additional rubies from Burma, and emeralds from South America, each selected for their exceptional color and clarity.


The M Lhuillier Promise: Quality, Variety, and Accessibility


M Lhuillier Jewellers offers a diverse range of jewelry, with prices starting from very budget-friendly earrings to rare valuable pieces you can pass on to your children. Their collection spans various types – rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and brooches – ensuring that you can find the perfect piece to match your style and budget. The ease of selection is enhanced by their user-friendly categorization, allowing customers to filter by type, gold karats, colors, and price. This thoughtful organization ensures that finding the right piece for you is not just possible, but enjoyable.

Shopping at M Lhuillier Jewellers is not just about acquiring a piece of jewelry; it's about investing in a legacy of beauty and value. Their commitment to quality, combined with an extensive, globally-sourced collection, offers an unparalleled shopping experience. Whether you're marking a special occasion, adding to your collection, or making a strategic investment,


M Lhuillier provides not just jewelry, but pieces of art that celebrate craftsmanship and timeless elegance.


As we reflect on the journey from selecting thoughtful holiday gifts for others to choosing a post-holiday treat for ourselves, the decision to invest in jewelry might just prove to be a wise investment. Jewelry, with its timeless appeal and intrinsic value, offers a unique blend of personal joy and financial acumen. It's a way to honor life's special moments and to invest in pieces that carry both emotional and monetary worth. Embracing the world of fine jewelry is more than a purchase—it's a step into a legacy of beauty, a testament to lasting style, and a nod to thoughtful investing. This blend of pleasure and prudence is what makes choosing jewelry an exceptionally rewarding experience, one that enriches both the present and the future.
