Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…
I really do you know? It brings back so many memories of childhood holidays spent on beaches in Devon and Cornwall. No fancy overseas holidays for us, nope. It was all about piling in to cars and setting off down the motorway; my parents, my grandparents and various Aunts, Uncles and cousins for a glorious week of sunshine (somehow it never rained then), ice cream and sandcastles.
Perhaps this is why I am so drawn to the SS14 collection from aMuse, named A Perfect Day…at the Seaside. It has a real sense of nostaliga and “British Holiday” about it. I’m thinking paddling in rock pools, eating salty chips from newspaper and tipping buckets of sand over sun bathing adults (sorry Dad!)
This capsule collection is by designer Sarah Nettleton and captures both nautical shapes and colours. Inspired by her own childhood growing up in New England, USA they translate easily to the British love of all things seaside.
Surprisingly for such beautiful, unique jewellery the prices are really down to earth. Starting at £25 for the earrings to £45 for the Paper Boat Necklace my sights are set on the Fish and Chips necklace, at £25 I’ve finally found a wish list item I will be able to afford sooner rather than later.
What are your thoughts on this collection? It’s incredible right? Anything that can take me back to those happy summers is a real winner.
The collection is available from amusefashions.com which in itself is a whole treasure trove of inspiration.
P.S. it’s surgery day for me…fingers crossed eh?
fingers and toes crossed that the surgery goes well for you
Wow!!! They are sure so pretty. Love the designs and the creativity. Hope to see more great designs and bright ideas on something.
I am in love with those little sailboat earrings, what a beautiful collection. I love the theme behind it, my family were British seaside holiday-ers too 🙂 xxx
I love the ice cream cone earrings, so cute.
Isn’t it great having useful boyfriends?
I love the new look.

Love the chip necklace! Good luck with everything <3
I love this collection! I love those Devon/Cornwall holidays, we used to go every year. I wonder if we were ever in the same place at the same time.
I hope you are feeling okay after the op!
