Kiki’s Boutique

07th March 2013

Watch: Olivia Burton c/o Kiki’s Boutique
I’m a sucker for a pretty (watch) face so when Kiki’s Boutique got in touch to introduce themselves and offered to send me an item of my choice I knew exactly what to pick. This watch by Olivia Burton (check out more gorgeous designs here) arrived today and the photos both on the website and those I’ve taken simply do not do it justice. Hello smitten.
Kiki’s Boutique is a family run business which stocks the likes of Emily and Fin, Kinky Knickers and Irregular Choice to name just a few. 
With so many gorgeous items to choose from it’s hard to know where to start but when you have made your decision then Kiki’s Boutique is offering a generous 15% off for readers of this blog when you use the code DAISY15 at the checkout,
the code is valid until the 31st March 2014 so you have plenty of time to make your minds up!
What’s the first item that caught your eye?

06th March 2013

Dress: c/o Motel Rocks
Boots: Friis and Co at Sarenza
Bracelet: Maggie Angus
A fail safe dress for a Sunday pottering about town, this Motel dress can do no wrong in my eyes. It’s stuck by me through thick and thin, flattering whatever form my body chooses to take. It’ll be a sad day when it’s old, holey and no longer decent (but hopefully that’s a way away yet!)
Have I declared my love for Maggie Angus lately? Previous supplier of a ballroom dancer necklace for my Mum and *those* penguin earrings that always earn so much attention, she’s come up trumps with her monochrome (yay) daisy (double yay) range and she was kind enough to send me one of the bracelets to wear with love and pride. You can view more of the collection, and the rest of her magical creations here…with the bracelets only costing £12 I feel the need to treat myself to the white version too so I can mix and match and stack them high.
How’s this week turning out for everyone? I kind of did jinx myself a bit by saying mine would be quieter, but not to worry, I’m busy with nice things. Today after my early start (I’ll never get used to leaving at 7am) I’m meeting my Grandad for lunch…fingers crossed the weather is as beautiful as it was yesterday, I was in such a grumpy mood until I stepped outside in the afternoon.

Giveaway: get creative with Caseable

05th March 2013

This isn’t the first time I’ve worked with Caseable on the blog, they provided me with a snazzy kindle cover back in October and then allowed me to give something away a few days later.
To celebrate the arrival of Spring and to treat you folks to an early Easter treat I have another chance for you to design a gadget case of your choice. You can choose from pre-made designs or get creative and come up with your own for whichever piece of technology you feel needs an update- for me it’d be my iPad, it’s in dire need of a makeover!

To enter this giveaway all you need to do is follow these simple steps:

Sign up to the Caseable newsletter (this will also give you a £5 credit towards your first order, hurrah!)
Leave a comment on this blog post telling me what you’d come up with if you won, + leave me a way to contact you if you win
Get your entry in by Tuesday 12th March, 7pm UK time.
It’s that simple!
Good luck. The winner will be announced a few days later once Caseable have confirmed newsletter sign up.

confirmed cat lady

04th March 2013

Crazy Cat Lady jumper c/o Skip N’ Whistle
Skirt: Zara
Shoes: Bertie c/o Sarenza
I’m fairly certain this is the best jumper in the world, ever and I’m eternally grateful to Skip ‘N Whistle for bringing it in to my life. Not only does it sum me up perfectly it also hands down the comfiest, slouchest jumper I own meaning I am pretty much guaranteed to live in it until it falls apart.
Monday has rolled around once again, where do weekends go? It was a pretty good one I must say,  plenty of time spent with friends, yummy food and far, far too much coffee (even by my standards…the caffiene crash was spectacular!)
I’m ready to embrace what should *fingers crossed* be a quieter week ahead, I’ve probably 100% jinxed myself by saying that though. Counting down to next weekend’s adventures, a theatre trip to see the Full Monty? Hurry up Saturday!
What’s on your agenda this week?
