Alright, Petal?

24th November 2011

Matalan skirt, New Look cardi, Primark jumper (£5! The proof will be in the washing), Superdrug tights and Clarks shoes c/o Sarenza

Worn for work on Wednesday (admin = more casual dressing) with some gorgeous earrings sent over from Lois at Petal Jewellery

Seriously…how pretty are these? Lois got in touch last week to introduce her shop, Petal and I fell in love with these sweet earrings, and even sweeter price of £4! There are some lovely pieces on her site, split in to three collections; Original, Fairytale and Prestige. The handmade beauties make an affordable and pretty treat for yourself, or for Christmas gifts, I’d be delighted to unwrap anything made by Lois!

What’s your favourite from Lois’ site?

How’s the Christmas shopping going?

Do you have any idea how wonderful you all are? Thank you so much for the supportive comments on yesterdays post. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway with Matalan.

18th November 2011

 Friday! It’s taken it’s sweet time getting here this week, I can tell you! I’m guessing there is something in the water as work has been utter madness, beyond what it usually is…wow. Good thing I love my job!
This is what I wore for Thursday; River Island skirt, Peacocks tee and Poetic License shoes. The morning was so stressful that I was forced to pop down to Boots on my lunch break and pick up the new 17 range BB cream and two of the metallic cream eyeshadows. Oh, cruel world.

My week was brightened by the lovely Ashley at Cutey.co.uk sending me this gorgeous charm bracelet for consideration on the blog. Previously un-aware of the website, it’s now bookmarked in my favourites ready for a spot of Christmas shopping. The bracelet is lovely, my only complaint being the catch being really fiddly, and the prices are ACE at £12.99 for this style of bracelet (and a whole selection to choose from, to suit all tastes). What I really like is that they come in two sizes- 18cm and 20cm which eases the worry of it being too big, or too small for the person your buying for.

Well, given that it’s just gone 6am and this girl needs breakfast before work, the only thing left to do is wish everyone a SUPER HAPPY FRIDAY. Have a good one! xxx

Stolen Thunder//Stolen Heart

10th November 2011

I mentioned the other day that the wonderful folk at Stolen Thunder had featured me on their blog and that a wish-list was coming…
I’m not a girl to go back on her word, so here’s a little list of what I covet right now.
The shop has been on my radar for quite some time, probably since I first began to read blogs a couple of years ago, and the launch of their beautiful new heritage collection further cemented my love.

1. I love gin wooden necklace

2. Gold wishbone charm necklace

3. Assorted rings from the heritage collection

4. Midsummer hare necklace

Only Fair

31st October 2011

This Fair Isle jumper dress is last year’s from New Look and one of my favourite jumper dresses. It’s warm, it has a nice fit…and fulfills my love of all things Fair Isle (just wait until you see the tights I was bought yesterday!) Perfect for a quiet Sunday after the night before.

The bracelet is a gift from my Mum and comes from Kleshna where the money goes to a very worthy cause.

I managed to do yet more shopping yesterday, I need shopping rehab…or at least, I’m going to attempt a non-frivolous spend week (meaning food, essentials and Christmas presents only). Oh help.

Happy Halloween…what are you doing? We’re taking fun sized chocolate to work and decorating with sprinkles (I might go trick or treating on a few doctors doors…after surgery, of course!)

What a Girl Wants; Diamonds

26th October 2011

I don’t own diamonds, I can’t afford diamonds (that’s why cubic zirconia exists right?) but that doesn’t stop me dreaming.
I’ve seen online Diamond jewelry store  Anjolee pop up on several of my favourite blogs lately, so when I was invited to take a look too, I couldn’t resist!

My first port of call was the Diamond necklaces

This one in particular stood out…I’m not sure why. It vaguely reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffanys though.

And this one? A Diamond necklace called “life is great” simply spoke to me.

Should I ever revoke my “single for life” status (i.e. find myself a man…just NOT happening) then this ring would do nicely.

All the jewellery is customisable to suit your tastes and budget too, which I think is pretty awesome…

Are diamonds a girls best friend?
