Sarenza Shoe of the Week

This week my  Sarenza shoe of the week is a bit more “me”. The second I saw the Adla by Fornarina shoe I was smitten,
classic nude and black colourway, made quirky with the dog print, this is THE perfect shoe for day to night wear, totally justifying the £127 price tag!

Are you with me on this lust? What would you wear these with?

Green Maxi Skirt; Glamorous UK*, Butterfly Top New Look

This is post-work outfit Thursday when the weather was unbearably humid and I wanted something cool I could laze about in having spent the morning stifling in my polyester uniform (dealing with fainting patients left right and centre!)
I really do love the bright green of this skirt, although I remain a little unsure which colours work best with it; I’m still guilty of sticking to my black/brown/grey/navy old colours of choice.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend, yesterday would have been my Nan’s Birthday and we marked the day by scattering her ashes at her favourite seaside town; Sidmouth in Devon. The sun shone despite the forecast (I like to think she had something to do with that) and the day, spent with my Grandad and Best Friend turned out just wonderfully. Thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes, what could have been a sad and maudlin day turned it to something quite beautiful.

Happy Birthday Nanny, YOU were the real gift.

Flights of Nancy

      

I don’t know how correct it is to call an inanimate object beautiful, but in the case of this leather holdall I was sent by Flights of Nancy it is the first word that springs to mind.
Owner Natalie got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago, after a mutual contact hooked us up. I was instantly smitten both with her charm and website which not only sells these stunning holdalls (£90) but a whole range of high quality leather goods from purses through to messenger bags, such as the “holy bejesus it’s yellow” version show above (£60).

“Flights of Nancy started life 18 months ago. Inspired by the leather and batik bags we discovered in our travels across Indonesia, we began working on our own designs in partnership with small family-owned businesses in the region.
Today, we’re proud to produce ethically-sourced, hand made leather holdalls, messengers, shoulder bags, satchels, clutches, and an array of batik bags. Our leather goods are all hand dyed using vegetable-based colouring, while our batik products are made from recycled fabrics”.

You can buy the range from the website or via ASOS marketplace

Being the sweetheart that she is, Natalie has offered readers of adaisychaindream a fantastic 10% discount code for her shop; simply enter 4CU60DB0HAUV at checkout (the code has NO expiry date and valid only through Flights of Nancy website).

You can also win your very own leather holdall, worth £90 in a colour of your choice by leaving a comment on this post stating your favourite item from Flights of Nancy and a way for me to contact you.
The giveaway is open to UK residents and will run from today through to Saturday 14th July at 6pm.

Good Luck folk, trust me, this is a good one!

Congrats lovely, I’ll be in touch shortly!

It’s always lovely to get a surprise in the post, especially when it comes as prettily packaged as this Spinning Ring from Timothy Roe
I love rings and I am slowly but surely amassing quite a collection of them (the new tights?!) and this four leaf clover fits in perfectly with my preferred jewellery style.

I have a massive wishlist for the website, next on my list are the glitter heart, star and humming designs. At £19 each these are an affordable way to build up a jewellery collection and can be worn alone or stacked together. I also think they’d make a lovely gift for one of your best friends…*hints for Christmas guys!*

Which design do you like?
Where do you get your rings from?

You can’t beat Timothy Roe for Bespoke Jewellery in my book.
