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.

sarenza shoe of the week: prettily practical

12th May 2013

This week my Sarenza pick is more on the classic side than usual. Among the many new arrivals from one of my favourite brands on the site, Georgia Rose were these Jessey CFT in ante negro + ante arena. I love the t-bar style, nude and black suede combo and subtle gold detailing on these and although they are on the pricey side for flats at £103 I can a) attest to the quality of the brand and b) see these as a bit of an investment that will work with many, many outfit combinations. If this colour way isn’t your thing there are three others to pick from as well as a gorgeous range of heels that have just landed too.
You might hate me for saying this later, but go forth and browse!

those shoes- so you.

10th May 2013

Dress: River Island at ASOS
Tee: Peacocks
Boots c/o SoYouShoes
It’s May, we shouldn’t even need to still be wearing boots, but if we have to then they may as well be good ‘uns right? I’m so in love with these studded Chelsea boots from SoYouShoes who were kind enough to send me a pair. They combine all the things I am loving in a shoe right now and are a bargain + super comfortable as well. Love.
I can’t even remember which day I wore this outfit, probably before the bank holiday if I’m honest…I’ve totally lost track of time lately and not blogging every day has left me with a bit of a back log.
At least it’s Friday right? I’m so glad it’s the weekend despite it having been a short week. It’s not been bad, just a bit of a dissapointment after the amazing sunshine-fest of a long weekend last week (not to mention girl stuff) and I feel a bit jaded with it all. Never mind eh? I have a fun weekend involving the boy, friends and general chilling planned and that’s the perfect remedy for any blues. That and a vat of tea and some childish snacks.
How has your short week been? I almost think I prefer the normal working week, you know where you stand with that!
Any fun plans this weekend?

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?

Dream in Pastel

07th May 2013

Blouse c/o Apricot
Skirt: Zara
Shoes c/o Shoe Zone
Back to work after a glorious Bank Holiday weekend, Spring may have taken it’s time arriving but that just makes the sunshine all the more appreciated. Most of my weekend was spent chilling with the boy and catching up on rest after last week’s adventures, I feel refreshed and ready to take on just about anything (you can quote me on that at the end of the week!)
I featured this blouse a few weeks ago on a wish list post and Apricot kindly sent me one of my own. It’s such a pretty piece although very sheer for day time…there’s potential for a slightly more revealing evening look there too!
These wedges are an absolute bargain at £12.99 and so, so comfortable. I went up a size as I’ve found Shoe Zone’s shoes do come up a little small and I can see myself properly living in these come the time for bare legs (and when I eventually put away the A/W clothes and bring out the summer dresses!)
I hope everyone had a brilliant Bank Holiday whatever you did…
got up to something exciting? Spill the beans here…
