A Thomas Sabo Wish List

06th June 2015
Thomas Sabo is one of the few jewellery brands I don’t have much experience with. I’ve admired it from afar, in stores and on other people and based on the strength of their latest collections I’m going to have to take the plunge and treat myself soon. Here are just a few of the pieces I’ve been coveting lately- help me pick which piece I should give in to!

bangle | stud earrings | cocktail ring | hoop earrings | oval ring

If money allowed then I think automatically I would opt for one of the rings, the cocktail ring more specifically as it’s just stunning. Sadly my budget is more likely to stretch to a pair of earrings, a bracelet at best but I’ll be keeping this post for reference should I happen to hit the big time (that or save it for Christmas hint dropping)

Are you familiar with Thomas Sabo? Which is your current favourite piece? Silver Tree Jewellery are offering all of my readers a fabulous 20% off purchases (some brand exclusions apply) with the code BLG_ZQONWP4LNKKF so now’s the time to treat yourself!

Dreaming of a Summer Holiday wish list

26th May 2015

Holiday season has arrived, with friends and colleagues starting to jet off to sunnier climes I’ve found myself browsing the holiday and swimwear sections of websites coveting all sorts of things. I don’t even have a holiday booked, madness! Fingers crossed Mum and I will escape at the end of September for a week of sunshine, it’s been on the cards for ages!

Here are just a few of the things that have caught my eye lately.

Phone Case | Beach Dress | Fendi Sunglasses | Beach Towel | Backpack | Bikini from a selection | Sparkly Sandals | Lace Shorts | Raffia Hat

How cute are those sparkly flat sandals from New Look? A complete bargain at £7.99 I couldn’t help but snap them up the other day. I’m all for a wide fit shoe and these are available in a whole rainbow of gorgeous colours. Who’s placing bets on me owning them all by the time Summer is out?
What are your wish list items for a Summer holiday? And where should I consider whisking Mum away to? Bonus points for cheap, sunny and a short flight!

TTYA x Long Tall Sally part amazing.

24th May 2015
If you’ve caught my previous posts about the TTYA x Long Tall Sally collaborations (here and here) you’ll know that I have been seriously impressed. A third collection has just dropped on to the website and the team have really outdone themselves this time! This is the High Summer line and is made up of an eclectic mix of pieces, from festival fashions to super sleek silhouettes. I’ve popped an overview of the collection below so you can see for yourselves how impressive this range is- it’s so refreshing to see a brand develop a range of super on trend and high quality clothing for us tall girls, so often overlooked on the high street.
Stand out pieces for me are the crepe palazzo trousers and the beautiful printed maxi dress. I was lucky enough to be able to pick out a piece from the collection to style up, that post is coming soon so why not take a guess at what I opted for.

Which is your favourite piece from the range?

Denim Dreams at Trilogy

16th May 2015
Is there any style blogger out there who doesn’t have (at least secret) admiration for Alexa Chung? She so rarely makes a sartorial slip-up so when it was announced that she was launching a range in collaboration with AG jeans I couldn’t wait to see it. Sadly it’s about as far out of my reach as waking up and looking like Ms Chung herself, but I couldn’t resist popping together a wish list of my favourite pieces, all in stock at Trilogy Stores.
The collection has more than a touch of Seventies about it and rarely, for me there isn’t a piece that I wouldn’t consider wearing. Stand-outs to me are the olive green pinafore, the ruffled denim dress and those black denim dungarees. Have you checked out the collection yet, which piece would you most like to wear?

Talk to me about celebrity style icons.

My Ultimate Bathroom

02nd May 2015
You know you’re growing up when you stop planning what colour nail polish you’re going to buy next and instead start dreaming of all things interiors. I may still live with my parents, and when I do move out it will be in to a rental property for a while it hasn’t stopped me taking inspiration from a survey that your show home did about people’s dream spa bathrooms (in conjunction with ukBathrooms) and I’ve started to plan my own- one day!

I love the idea of a bathroom with a view. A huge, floor to ceiling window (because of course I’ll be living in the middle of nowhere with no risk of peeping Toms) to let natural light flood in. A freestanding jumbo sized bath-tub would be ideal, something I can stretch out in and read a book…hours would happily pass by without me realising.

Candles are the perfect way to add atmosphere to a bathroom- be it in a luxurious spa setting or in your own small but perfectly formed one at home. A glass of wine and a few flickering candles does wonders for one’s mental health especially if you can watch the sun setting at the same time.

For the ultimate spa at home experience I would love a vast, walk in shower cubicle that doubles up as a steam room/sauna. I can’t think of anything more indulgent and steam is great for the skin. Of course to get all this I’m going to have to do a heck of a lot of hard work and money saving ahead of me, and that’s just to get myself on to the property ladder. By my calculations I should be able to get my dream bathroom by the time I’m about, oh…80?

What would your dream spa-style bathroom contain?
