pretty little things

08th May 2011

Today I want to share some recent treasures.

Is this not the BEST idea? It is a perfume pendant by Esme Jewellery which I’ve filled with my current staple scent.

There’s a little roller ball inside which you take apart, spritz with your scent then put back together…perfume touch ups on the go housed in a super pretty pendant. Stephanie is a genius!

I really, really love the concept of this, it saves lugging a bottle of perfume around all day and is so easy to use!
Thank you to Esme for sending me one to test out!
The pendants cost from £24.99 which I think is pretty damn good; the quality and weight on the pendant is incredible and it came beautifully packaged with a spare perfume capsule.

What colour would you pick?
And what perfume would you put inside?

Next up is my new Daisy Chain Dream crown from Crown and Glory . As soon as I saw this on twitter I knew it HAD to be mine, so I made a sneaky pay day purchase.

(‘scuse the socks, I hadn’t decided on shoes!)

I’m going to try it as a wrist wrap too!

It’s official, I love Crown and Glory (and I know a lot of other bloggers do, too!)

And oldie but a goodie, this will forever be my favourite ring.

The end!

The Yesterday

07th April 2011

Firstly, sorry for the splurge of posts yesterday, ever get one of those days where you just have too many ideas in your head to save for later? Yeah. With my memory it’s best to get them all out at once!

Wasn’t yesterday gorgeous (UK’ers at least?), I couldn’t help but be cheered…even work didn’t deter my enthusiasm for the weather, my desk gets the morning sun and with the window open I could have been outside.
Walking home, no coat on and bare arms was the most delightful feeling.

Anyway, enough waxing lyrical about the weather; I am a true Brit! Here’s what I wore.

You can’t really see but the tights are patterned on the front and block black on the back (thanks Hannah!)

Accessorised with Timex watch (ugh to the time!) and Ruby Rae Love bracelet

And my all-time favourite necklace from Go Jewellery

And lastly,
now I know Matt has received his fiver challenge parcel, here is what I made.

I can’t believe it is Thursday already…seriously time…what is going on?

P.S. tomorrow is the closing date for the London Wishes giveaway…enter now!

In Brief

27th March 2011

This weekend….

Wearing; FLORALS because I am a walking Spring cliche

Jon Richard ring available here!

Sunshine; The weather has bought out the best in me, I am definitely a S.A.D. person. The emergence of Spring, warmer days and bright, beautiful sunshine has turned me in to a chirpier, more confident version of me.
I celebrated by purchasing these oh so adorable sweets!

Thanking; Witch skincare for coming up with this primer! My saviour!

Geeking; Geeking out over new drug rep pens at work (Becca, if your reading this…the obsession continues!) and these ones are PINK! I will forever be envious of my Mum’s leopard print one.

Hi, my name is Laura and I hoard pens.

Wanting; SO MUCH! It’s always the week before pay day that I find infinite things I want and need in my life, only to have lost interest or not be able to find them when the time arrives! Currently top of my list is this dress from River Island

I have new found love for this shade of blue!

How about you?

Molly Brown London

26th March 2011

I don’t know if it’s just me, but come Spring I am always in need of gifts. Christmas is comparatively easy because there is so much themed tat/special gift sets around,
but Spring, and Summer seems to call for something different…and something suited to a variety of occasions…

Molly Brown London could well be the answer to my prayers for the most treasured of these occasions…
Mothers Day gifts, Christening Jewellery, Special girly Birthdays…a treat for yourself along the way…
Here are my favourites!
The Aurora (peppermint) fairy pendant falls under the Christenings category, now, in my 24 years I think I have only ever been to two Christenings but maybe now I’m growing up and friends will be starting to breed (oh I am crude) I will have reason to buy something so utterly adorable.

Deep Pink Festival Friendship bracelet (also available in three other colours) may not be the cheapest of gifts at £32, but I think for an 18th or 21st present for your very best friend..or a Mother’s day gift for dear old Mum it is perfect and a gorgeous accent to bare arms for Summer! It also reminds me of teenage years at festivals being happy and care free, I will always have a special place in my heart for friendship bracelets!

The initial necklace…a classic, personalised present for alllll occasions! Seriously, how can you go wrong? I’d be tempted to buy an initial for a nickname as an extra personal touch!

JELLYBEAN pendants. Can you guess who’s birthday I think one of these would be ideal for? (It’s April 28th by the way…thankyouverymuch)

Check it out at www.mollybrownlondon.com and let me know your thoughts!

What’s the most treasured gift you’ve been given? For me, there have been too many to mention, I’m a sentimental fool like that,
but on a superficial level, the Irregular Choice shoes that Alex and Char bought me last summer would be topping the list for sure. Remind me to wear/blog them soon!

A Bit more Bling

20th March 2011

I told you there was more jewellery coming and here it is!

Jon Richard jewellery!

This post is really only an introduction as I plan on featuring the individual pieces as I wear them, but for those of you not familiar with the brand here’s a bit of background information;

“It’s our philosophy that makes our inspirational jewellery brand so unique. We believe that you have to be out there yourself to see what’s going on. That’s why our buying team is 100 per cent fashion focused. They visit catwalk shows and exhibitions and travel the world to discover the trends that help us create stunning pieces. We cater to every woman’s taste – from funky fashionistas to style-savvy fifty somethings and blushing brides. Jewellery for individuals that’s beautifully packaged to give the ultimate wow factor.”

Jon Richard Jewellery caters a range of brands stocked online and throughout Debenhams stores, such as Jon Richard, Mood, Simply Silver, Betty Jackson and Matthew Williamson. We also work with Swarovski collections. For A/W’11, we are starting to supply Designers at Debenhams with jewellery and accessories for Star by Julien Macdonald, Principles by BENdiLISI and Jasper by Jasper Conran.

The pieces are entirely stunning, each in their own way, of note are the Swarvoski crystal earrings and the amazing skull ring
(oh, and the cat brooch which Mum promptly swiped!)

Seriously.Besotted.

The interpol gig Saturday night was the perfect time to debut the Skull ring

A skull ring has been on my lust-list for a long, long time so to say I was delighted to receive this is probably the understatement of the year (so far!)

I can’t wait to wear and share the other pieces…
what has caught your eye on the website? Which collection best suits your personality?
