Fossil

03rd August 2014
And once again another set of outfit photos gets partially photo-bombed by Mae, and of course as soon as I try and get a nicer photo of the two of us she gets distracted by a fly/moth/frog and buggers off in to the distance.

Dress: Brat and Suzie Vintage | Shoes: Shelleys Bracelet c/o Accessories Online

Brat and Suzie has long been a favourite brand of mine and has featured often on the blog. The other week I noticed on twitter that they have added a vintage section to the website. Having tweeted them my approval they kindly offered to loan me one of the pieces to style up. I let Brat and Suzie choose what they sent out as I love a surprise. I almost didn’t want to open the fabulous polka dotted package but I’m glad I did because I love this dress, so much so I really didn’t want to send it back. A vintage frock from Next, this claims to be a size 8 but I beg to differ…but still, I really liked how it looked oversized and I swished around feeling very retro chic.
There are so many awesome pieces on the vintage section of the site, and really reasonable prices too. I’ll be browsing regularly to see what new stock they have, and of course checking out the main collections that we all know and love too!
Another favourite of mine is Accessories Online, an online jewellery emporium who I’ve been purchasing from for years. They recently sent me this gorgeous friendship bracelet from the new range of Fossil Jewellery (another brand I hold great affection for) and I thought it was the perfect wrist adornment to wear with this dress, although to be fair I’ve barely taken it off since it arrived so it’s getting teamed with everything ever.
I return to Accessories Online time after time when buying jewellery either for myself or as a gift. I love how fast and free their delivery is, how beautifully packaged it comes and how they have awesome sales and discounts frequently throughout the year. Keep on keeping on guys, you’re doing great!
So it seems we have a post full of my favourites so I think it’s only right you share some favourites with me in the comments; a favourite brand/shop/place/thing, I don’t mind…just share some love!

Gorgeous Galibardy

26th July 2014
Long time no jewellery post on the blog eh? I got caught up in the Spring/Summer clothing and footwear madness and totally neglected my beloved sparkle. No worries though because I’m about to give you a little feast for the eyes from one of my all time favourite jewellery websites Galibardy…I’ve been stalking this site ever since I first started blogging on those years ago and I can guarantee I always have a huge wish list from their stunning selection on the go.
Currently some of the objects of my desire are: (hover over an image for details)
Bicycle charm pendant, £10
Magical Black Cat ring, £28
Pegasus Miniature Rainbow Charm Pendant, £28
Peter Rabbit Ring, £28
Twisted Gold Cuff, £12
I know, I know, who could have ever predicted the magical black cat ring would have ended up on my list? If you wanted to make a little purchase on my behalf, or even for yourself for this or any other item on the Galibardy Website then add the code daisychaindream at the checkout for a generous 25% off your order until the 29th July!
Sorry for such a short ‘n sweet post today, I’m off to the wedding of one of my oldest friends and I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle! It’s things like this that make me feel suddenly very grown up though…
Happy Shopping!

Summer Loving with lolaandgrace

31st May 2014
There are a couple of jewellery brands I just can’t get enough of right now and one of those is lolaandgrace. Every time I visit the website I find something to fall in love with, and despite owning several pieces from the brand I still want more! Their Spring/Summer collection is an absolute cracker and I thought I’d share with you just a few of the pieces I’m currently coveting.
As you can probably tell, I’m really liking clean cut bold pieces this Summer; a lovely contrast to the delicate and feminine pastels that are everywhere and stunning with this season’s bold prints. I don’t really have space on my ears for ear cuffs, thanks to my multitude of piercings but I seriously want the Filigree Wide Earcuff and the Stud Long Earcuff as part of the decoration.
My many piercings are also the reason I don’t often wear statement sparklers in my ear lobes, but I feel I could make exception for the Chrysanthemum Drops which I may well have to invest in very soon as they will be the perfect finishing touch to my outfit for a wedding I’m going to in July. Just stunning! A polar opposite to these flower inspired fancies and going back towards what I know best I might have to sneak the Cupchain Bib necklace in to my basket too- it’s on the pricey side but will look amazing against the basic tees and vests I’ve stocked up on for work (and play) lately.
As I said above, these barely even touch the surface of the gorgeous arrivals on the lolaandgrace website, so head on over there and report back on what’s caught your eye the most…and look out for more features of their collections on the blog in the future. J’adore.

An Elephant Never Forgets

30th May 2014
Jumpsuits; an item I’ve toyed with for a few seasons now. I love the look of them on other people but I really wasn’t sure I could make them work for me. With long legs and a long body getting the proportions right was tricky, and ones I had tried on looked less than flattering. A recent trip in to New Look saw me drawn to an elephant printed number and despite my reservations I decided to size up and see what effect that had.

Jumpsuit: New Look (here) | Sandals: Zara | Bracelet c/o Vente-Privee

I think the size up works better if I’m honest, my actual size would have been perhaps a bit too tight around the bum and I prefer a slouchy leg. This is so comfy that with a bonus 25% off I think this might just be the greatest bargain ever. I continued the safari theme with my leopard detail Zara sandals which I thought might be a bit too OTT but I actually really like them with the jumpsuit.
You can’t really tell from my photos but I’m wearing a gorgeous bracelet sent by the lovely folks at Vente-Privee by Uno de 50 who designed an exclusive “luck” collection for the sales site. This is so my style and has barely been off of my wrist since it arrived!
Have you tried any new trends lately? I’m thinking a playsuit next, but that does depend on finding one that is a fairly decent length so it can actually be worn in public and leave me some dignity.

Summer Heatwave from Guess Watches

27th May 2014
It’s been a while (and by a while I mean over a month) since I last featured Guess on the blog and I knew that in the absence of e-mails and new collections they must be working on something good. I wasn’t wrong; last week their new watch collection, Summer Heatwave hit my inbox and as is always the case with their collections I couldn’t resist sharing.
Perfect with a tan and equally as good for brightening up a less than sunny day (this is Britain after all!) the collection features warm gold faces with colour-pop silicone straps. Available in Hot Pink, Sea Green and Dazzling White these are just gorgeous. After purchasing my Mulberry bag I’m not in a position to buy anything right now, but if I was then the hot pink would be winging it’s way to my wrist as I type.
The RRP of these watches is £159.00 and you can buy online at Goldsmiths. Which one do you fancy?
