daisy chain dreaming: get your SWAG on

28th May 2013
I appear to have a bit a bracelet obsession at the moment if recent wish list posts are anything to go by,
there is something about Summer (ha!) and the baring of arms that makes me want to stack them up…
the brighter and bolder the better.
I recently discovered yet another place to haunt for Jewellery online; a little place called SWAG,
a family run business which has 40 years experience of providing beautiful jewellery from fashionable names such as Chlobo, Guess, DKNY and Pandora through to pre-owned watches from luxury brands such as Rolex and Cartier.
Today my lustings come from the Thomas Sabo section of the website…I don’t (yet) own any pieces myself but taking a look at the selection of pre-made bracelets- ideal for those like me who take forever to choose, I have fallen head over heels for the bold yet cutesy Disney themed designs
Fairytale completed bracelet featuring Minnie Mouse, £177.85. I was Minnie obsessed as a child and I love how her pink and girly style has been paired with the bold black.

Kermit! £134.80. I LOVE Kermit, so cute and the pastel pink is perfect for Summer days

Tinkerbell, £104.85 just too cute not to include and perfect for the girly girl.
Ok so they aren’t the most grown up pieces I’ve ever picked but in my eyes Summer jewellery is about having fun.
If this isn’t your thing then why not check out what else SWAG has to offer? 
(I also recommend Chlobo and the Pandora S/S collection)
Drop a few hints, buy a few gifts or just treat yourself…come payday I just might!
What do you think of these bracelets? Would you opt for a completed one or design it yourself?

Another day and another fabulous new shop to feature, this time a little treasure trove named Hey Sailor owned by the incredibly sweet Nicola. 
Launched only a few weeks ago Hey Sailor is already showing great promise, and with items like the above in stock I think it’ll be a big success. With a mix-match of new and vintage jewellery, accessories and homewares featuring some quirky designers for all budgets there is something for everyone and an awful lot I’m coveting.
Take a look for yourselves and let me know what you think.

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Butterfly Collection from Guess

22nd May 2013

So, it was only a matter of days ago that I last featured Guess jewellery on the blog, but I’ve since been sent over details of the latest launch- the Butterfly Collection and I couldn’t resist sharing having fallen head over heels for it- especially that cuff!
The Butterfly Collection perfectly matches the GUESS Girl’s free-spirited nature and highlights her expressive femininity. This collection takes the GUESS Girl’s spirited look to new heights with coloured enamel, intricate opalescent pavé detailing and artfully engraved metal. The hinged movement adds an enchanting surprise, ensuring that the GUESS Girl is nothing but unique.
 
Prices from £55 – £90

I know my blog seems to mainly be wish lists at the moment but can you blame me with so many gorgeous things about? That and the fact I’m living in my work uniform at the moment, and when I’m not I am either utterly un-inspired by my wardrobe or busy. I’m hoping to get my Summer clothes out over the Bank Holiday so maybe that’ll kick start something…wearing jumpers in May really doesn’t motivate one to post outfit photos!
Anyway,
back to the jewellery…which piece do you most want to fly your way?

daisy chain dreaming: wish collection from GUESS jewellery

13th May 2013

I always have and always will love friendship bracelets- so easy to wear and fun to layer up together (or with chunkier pieces). There is something so endearing about them and this new collection from GUESS jewellery has given me major lust.

The new Wish Bracelet Collection from GUESS Jewellery provides the essential feminine  accessory for this Spring/Summer. Representing all the attributes the GUESS Girl holds dear; 
Love, Peace, Happiness, Luck and  Friendship, the collection offers a variety of fun and  meaningful motifs.  

Perfect for layering and creating your own GUESS Girl look, the collection can be tailored to  suit each individuals style. With intricate design and details, the Wish Bracelet Collection is 
perfect to team with oversize frills, pink buttermilk shades or contrast against the black hues 
seen on the SS13 runways.

With a choice of gold, rhodium or rose gold finishes, the intricate Swarovski embellishment on 
coloured adjustable cord bracelets enables every GUESS Girl to be charmed with a pretty, 
sweet and endearing feminine expression this Spring/Summer.

The bracelets are available now- you’ll find them in places like House of Fraser and Debenhams as well as GUESS stores and many jewellery shops priced at £25

Which one have you got your eye on? My personal favourite is the purple one pictured above.

daisy chain dreaming: The WhitePepper

09th May 2013
£45

£50

£45

£66
Life seems to be a constant wish list lately and it’s not helped by brands such as The WhitePepper at ASOS bringing out such covetable collections. I can’t think of anything I dislike about their current range (except that I can’t afford it) and above is just a small selection of my favourites. If I was going to splash out it would have to be on the Sailor Midi Dress, I love all things nautical and midi is my favourite length. 
Oh ASOS, you do bad things to me. I may need to stage an intervention against the amount of time I spend browsing there.
What brands are you currently craving? What online shop is your weakness?
