"And though she be but little, she is fierce"...

Sometimes you see someone wearing something that makes your head turn. Not because it's glaringly obvious or brash, but because it just catches your eye and is subtlety a bit clever. Now I know I pretty much say big is best in most of my posts, but I'm a big fan of subtle when done right, and this is what I mean...

Freedom Found in Topshop

Did you know that Topshop sells a piece of Freedom jewellery line every two minutes?
Did you know that they've now launched a second line called Freedom Found? Well, here's the news...

This line is all about that moment when someone sees you wearing something fabulous and you have that "Wow, where did you get that?" moment. Taking inspiration from trips to vintage hotspots around the globe, the pieces are entirely modern but definitely have a retro, vintagey feel compared with the Freedom line.

Simplicity is key here. There are only 27 pieces in the range and the collection is limited to 300 of each item, compared with a normal high street run of 30,000.

So grab them while you can!

collar £30

Rhinestone earring £8.50

Green triangle earrings £10

Let me tell you about Dear Rae...

Cape Town's Dear Rae has got to be my favourite brand of the moment - although I hate to say I don't actually own any of their pieces yet! SOON, promise.

The pieces are made in gold, silver, brass and copper, with the occasional gemstone and are designed to be worn everyday. As their website says, "they celebrate the beauty and ease of simplicity and translate into functional jewellery."

I could buy everything in the collection to be honest, which you can do here: http://dearrae.co.za/

If you're lucky enough to be able to visit the store though, go for it. From the photos on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DearRaeJewellery/) it looks like it would be an absolute treat of a shopping trip.

The photos posted below are all from their Facebook page, as I thought they showcased the pieces a bit better, but have a look on their website and see for yourself!

Festively Drunk

I'm spending Christmas day with the in-laws this year, and if it's anything like last time it'll be a lovely combination of delicious grub, good banter, alcohol flowing and lots of laughter. Jeez, reading that back we sound like a modern day Brady Bunch. What I should add to that is that the lovely boyfriend will eat so much he'll have to unbutton his pants around 3pm (or even worse, change into his 'house suit': grey trackies and grey sweatshirt combo. Sex), we'll play some type of board game where by LB and his sister will end up so embriolled in competition with eachother, most likely end up with LB rubbing himself with Monolopoly money chanting 'I'M THE KING' - irrespective of whether we're playing Monopoloy or not, and i'll spend most of the day giggling with the mother in law, remarking at how scarily similar we are - except for the fact that i can drink ALOT more wine than her...queue more giggling...and inapproprate swearing.

So, to make sure i look as best as i can at the start of the day in order to overlay any memories of me by the end (house suit LB in tow), here are some festively fabulous earrings to sparkle this Chistmas Day...
