What a Girl Wants; Diamonds

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?

flower power

Another Matalan dress (purchased some weeks ago and sort of forgotten about) worn with my Yull Chelsea boots that rarely leave my feet these days. Also pictured; early morning dance in the kitchen and the standard dodgy lighting that I work so well!

Not much else to say, really, other than HAPPY MID-WEEK…hang on in there, it’s almost over!

Hello Pretty: Doris Designs

My inbox is a constant source of wishlist increasing e-mails. Last week one popped up from Doris Designs and despite never having owned one in my life, I had a sudden lusting for a petticoat a big, ballerina style petticoat.

Doris Designs launches petticoat skirts for adults and children.
They will get your heartbeat running away and are quite unlike anything you would find on the high street. Based on the 50s style petticoat, but with a twist. Each adult skirt is made of over 36 meters of light chiffon, giving them a beautiful bounce and a soft feel against the skin.

Adults come in 18” and 21” length with an elasticated waistband to suit all sizes as well as all sizes for the young ones. Available in a range of vintage colours through to more bold shades, such as hot pink.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, now is the perfect time to wear it pink!

The adult shorter length petticoats cost £63 and the longer length cost £65. Children’s designs start at £35.

Available at dorisdesigns.co.uk

These make me wish I had stuck with the ballet lessons when I was younger (I was blessed with the grace of an Elephant!)

How would you wear a petticoat?

squirrel

I’m a fan of squirrels, I think they are adorable and amusing little creatures, so when I saw a squirrel print jumper in Matalan I became slightly obsessed. I came very close to buying it several times, and kicked myself each time I left it behind…

I wasn’t kicking myself last week when I was off sick though, and browsing the Matalan website where I saw the jumper reduced from £20 to £5…

I like to call that “shopping fate”

Do you have any happy little stories like that to share? This jumper makes me smile…it fixes my love of knitwear and of fluffy tailed mammals in one fell swoop!
Happy Monday (well, as Happy as a Monday can be) xxx

Touch of Sparkle

New Look jumper, Matalan skirt, New Look tights and Betty London boots. Worn for a cold but otherwise perfect example of what an Autumn day should be like. The sequins on the jumper make me smile and the faux fur lining of the boots will be keeping my feet snug all winter.
