I've Binn expecting you!

 
So Spring has sprung, no, wait, has it? Yes. No, not quite...damn UK weather! Whenever I get ready for a night out it's pretty much a given that I'll have a paddy in front of the wardrobe shouting 'I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!' and the LB will sigh loudly - knowing it may be some time until we leave the house...so imagine my excitement when I found Tom Binns latest collections. Sure to liven up any outfit, I've picked out a few necklaces from his site: http://www.tombinnsdesign.com, I want them all!

White moth = YES!!

I LOVE WHITE MOTH!!! There I said it.

Whilst browsing this afternoon, I came across White Moth, a jewellery line designed by Tracey Heineman in NYC. Finding beauty in the unexpected, the pieces are influenced from architecture and industrial design. You know when you see something and immediately you want every single piece ever made, ever?? Well, White Moth is that brand for me. The website is currently under construction, but keep checking because if the sneaky peek at the Spring 2013 collection is anything to go by, it's going to be worth the wait! http://www.whitemothjewelry.com/

Take a peek at Geek Chic

Afternoon all!

So, I've been away for a while - weekends away, work and house renovations are to blame! But I'm back now and have loads to show off.  First up are a few pieces from a marvellous brand: Geek Chic. They are one of a kind jewellery designs using vintage and recycled objects, all influenced by Lewis Carroll, Jane Austen, Tolkien, Tim Burton, Serj Tankian, Steampunk, the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau, to name but a few. I think you'll agree they're utterly beautiful and a real conversation starter! best of all, you'll never see anyone else with the same piece as you...

Happy VDay Me, love Me x

So, it's Valentines Day tomorrow. I love my boyfriend but he'd fully admit that present buying is certainly not his strong point. Let's see...Christmas 2011 - a pack of nail varnishes, 3 different shades of black, 3 different shades of opaque off-white. A (clearly used and already returned) basket of smelly toiletries - given to me no less than a week after a good ten minute conversation we had about how useless said tiny toiletries are whilst i was throwing about twenty of them into our bin. Michael BublĂ©'s (unofficial) biography. When I asked where he'd found all these treats, he proudly told me TK MAXX. (For those reading this in the US - think Walmart). Followed closely by "They're all popular Christmas presents, they were all on the one stand right next to the door!". Boy, was i glad i'd bought him a weekend away...
 
Now, in our relationship present giving has kind of turned rather amusing...in that he gets sweaty palms just at the thought of it and I get so nervous of the outcome that i basically just tell him what i want. To be fair, he's come a long way since that Christmas, and he's a gem so it's all good. My advice - to myself and to you - is go pick yourself out something pretty and enjoy whatever comes your way from your loved one because no matter what it is, it's the thought that counts. What am i saying? Just ask for reciepts!
 
Here's some beauties that have caught my eye, covering a range of costs, and including a right bobby dazzler at the end should you want that extra special Valentines this year...!

    Where for Art Thou Deco?

    Whilst fashion themes change each year from season to season, there are styles that endure the test of time. One of my favourites is Art Deco. Think twenties, think Miami, think simple, striking shapes. What's not to love? Here's a few fabulous examples...

    Street Life

    There is some amazing costume jewellery on the highstreet at the moment. Whilst i'd much rather wear more unique accessories, i'm also a sucker for bargain finds - IF i'm convinced that not everyone and their dog will be wearing them. Plus it keeps the Lovely Boyf much happier - when i'm not spending!
