Sunglasses Shop Wishlist (not giving up on Summer!)

01st October 2012

Last week I teamed up with Sunglasses Shop for a review and giveaway and this week I’m bringing you a wishlist; unseasonal or not they have such a wide range of designer sunglasses that I really couldn’t help myself! With ranges including Guess, Miu Miu, D&G and a whole host of other fabulous brands for men and women it’s hard not to lust!

1. How amazing are these Miu Miu sunglasses? Totally OTT with their red glitter frame and irregular shape I have a heck of a lot of love for these! (£241)

2. A classic by Ray-Ban Sunglasses , I will forever covet a pair of the iconic wayfarer and classic tortoiseshell seems the way to go. (£102)

3. More glitter! This time a more subtle affair from Marc by Marc Jacobs, these could almost pass as an every day essential. (£94)

4. Last but not least, something colourful from Oakley Sunglasses What do you think of my choices? Do you think sunglasses are a Summer only thing or a year round must-have?

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Jewellery by Jada

28th September 2012

I’m a typical magpie, addicted to all things sparkly so it’s no surprise than when an e-mail popped up in my inbox introducing Jada it took all of two seconds for me to be on the website creating a wishlist!

Born to Turkish parents, CEYDA GUNGOR has been crafting her very own pieces of jewellery from Istanbul’s old town market, The Grand Bazaar, since her youth.
JADA captures the beautiful simplicity of precious and semi precious stones, which come to life when worn. Designed to be timeless keepsake pieces, her collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings are made using the finest chains and bangles of yellow, rose and white gold, which are inset with diamonds, citrine and topaz stones to name a few.
“My inspiration is deep rooted in a passion for
beautiful colours and delicate shapes.”

Symbolism plays inspiration to the collection, the various charms are not purely decorative; they also have a more meaningful significance. The small, diamond pave-set butterfly necklace with sparkling solitaires represents the preciousness of life, the ‘Evil Eye’ acts as a protection against harm and the ‘Letter Pendants’ with pave diamonds inset add a personal touch.

The names of the collections; Yelda, Zea, Reina, Changa and Juju all have a specific meaning to Ceyda, whether it be the name of her best friend who supported her in the launch of JADA or the name of her favourite restaurant which has inspired the pieces in the collection.
All JADA jewellery is hand-crafted in Istanbul using carefully chosen conflict-free stones. Sold originally through private clients, JADA is now available at Kabiri on the Kings road, Kabiri online as well as though www.byjada.com. 
These strictly are wish-list only pieces,
but you never know; I might get lucky on a Scratch Card Sunday (£20 so far!)

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Ginger Pickle

15th September 2012

I love it when you find a gem of a shop and then discover it’s owned by a total sweetheart. This was the case with Ginger Pickle; owned by the lovely Jade who also blogs here, the shop is a real treasure trove for jewellery, homewares, stationary and all manner of gorgeous things.

I can’t narrow down my favourite items from the shop, there is just so much and it’s all at affordable prices. I’ve placed one order so far (which I can’t share as it’s a gift) but Jade’s talents are limited to owning such a gorgeous shop; her packaging is AMAZING and like a gift itself. I love it when a shop goes above and beyond to provide a real experience and I will be making Ginger Pickle my first port of call when looking for Christmas presents (and for writing my Christmas list!). New stock arrives regularly and you can follow Jade on Twitter and Facebook for the latest.

Have you seen Ginger Pickle yet? Take a peek and let me know what takes your fancy.

P.S. I’m writing this post off my own back, Jade didn’t ask nor expect this but did kindly e-mail me over the photos of her favourite pieces.

September Survival Wishlist

02nd September 2012

With the arrival of September comes a craving for rich berry colours, mixed with deep greens and muddy browns. We may yet get a burst of Summer but I’m not holding out hope and today I have conjured up a wishlist of what I would love to help me survive September!

1. Dark Green skinny jeans, £16.99 from New Look. I’m really starting to embrace jeans and trousers more and these are the perfect Autumn colour (I think)

2. Bunny Print sweater top £12 from George at Asda. I already own the jersey owl jumper and this is next on my list. I love the quirky print, relaxed fit and supersoft material (lovingly stroked in store yesterday). These jumpers are such bargains.

3. Barbour from ASOS. LOVE the Liberty lining in this, do not love the price tag of over £200! I am trying hard to save up for a Barbour though. I love them and know that once afforded, it will be a sound investment. I shall probably hit up the outlet at Clark’s village for mine though, they have some relative bargains there.

4. Velvet Chelsea Boots from Matalan, currently only £10 online! I’m on a shoe ban, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want these! I was caught stroking them in store yesterday. Oh so soft and I LOVE the colour.

What’s on your September wishlist? Still holding out for Summer?
