Mailbox • Dollface London

Hi everyone!

Lately, silver stone rings and minimal necklaces have been my go-to jewellery pieces. Fortunately enough, my collection now also includes two gorgeous pieces from Dollface London - which came beautifully packaged in a black paper bag after each piece being individually wrapped in a red crepe paper adorned with a Dollface London logo sticker.

Ready to cater for all fashionistas, Dollface London is fresh, edgy, full of attitude and on-trend. From Gothic Glam and Urban Bling to Vintage Fairytale and Neon collections, Dollface London have a vast choice of jewellery and accessories that will suit all tastes and styles.

The first piece I picked up was a silver gemstone ring. Being sold for a mere £3.00 and available in Rose Quartz, Jade Green or Amethyst, I opted for the Rose Quartz stone. These last couple of days, I have been stacking rings like crazy, so this one was a perfect addition to my constantly-growing ring collection. And guess what? The size of this ring is adjustable so it fit my chubby fingers perfectly! 

Keeping with the silver theme, I also picked out a thin collar necklace. I already own a chunky gold collar necklace, but I was after a dainty one after seeing one on Tumblr. Perfect for wearing it the normal way - so to say - or even under your shirts' collars, this necklace retails for £8.50 and is also available in gold.

What do you think of these pieces? Have you ever purchased anything from Dollface London?

Store Spotlight • Tidebuy

Hi everyone!

A couple of days ago, I came across yet another online shopping website - Tidebuy. Offering a wide range of women's, men's, and kids products - including clothing pieces as well as jewellery, shoes and bags - at very low prices, Tidebuy also promises "high speed worldwide shipping".

After spending a few precious hours browsing this newly-discovered website, I managed to compile a list of some of the pieces that I liked. As you can see from the below images, my favourite section on this site was definitely the Outerwear section. If I had the money, I would definitely get all the pretty coats they have!

1) Black Woolen Overcoat ($41.17/€30.18/£25.10). This gorgeous black coat, which is also available in Mint as well as Rose pink, would go with everything in my wardrobe. And come to think of it, I don't have any jackets similar to this one. Also, since this staple coat is made from wool, it is certainly a must-have piece for the current cold winter days/nights. 

2) Double Breasted Woolen Overcoat ($61.69/€45.22/£37.60). How amazing is this grey coat? I love everything about it, especially the black and white check print on its inner collar and on the rolled-up sleeves. This is surely my definition of a perfect coat. And if you think grey is boring, it is also available in Green - which is somewhat unusual but still looks fab on this style.

3) Mustard Laple Woolen Overcoat ($29.09/€21.32/£17.73). Having the aim of trying to add a tad more colour to my wardrobe, I reckon this mustard coat will do the job perfectly! And for all you gals who do not like mustard, this beauty is also available in Black.

4) Low Heel Ankle Boots ($41.89/€30.71/£25.53). Since a plain black ankle boots is quite the norm, the touch of gold hardware on this pair takes it to another level. I love!

5) Round Neck Sweater ($14.99/€10.99/£9.14). Keeping in with the black theme, I believe that you can never have too many black sweaters in your wardrobe, so I obviously had to include this cotton one to my list. It's plain, it's simple, and it's black - must-have. And if you prefer colourful pieces, this top is also available in Green, Purple, and Red.

6) One Shoulder PU Bag ($16.69/€12.23/£10.17). Another piece which immediately struck me on the Tidebuy website is this PU bag. I love it's unusual design, and it would be great to wear during the day time and also for going out at night. 

For thousands, literally, of other products available at Tidebuy, head over to their website here. 

Which are your favourite pieces from the ones I chose above?

Hi everyone!

Rad Australian store Beginning Boutique have launched another fun and colourful lookbook, titled Pretty Daze. This lookbook features 19-year-old Australian fashion model Teresa Oman (who has been getting some big Tumblr love lately). Shot by photographer Ali Mitton and styled by Alina Ward, the lookbook features clothes from an array of Australian Designers, including Cameo, One Teaspoon, Finders Keepers, Insight and Stylestalker. Hair and make-up was done by the very talented Ashlea Penfold. 

Needless to say, Teresa looks really beautiful, as she always does. And I really love how the styling of this lookbook perfectly matches the model's ultra unique look. What do you think of this lookbook and the collection that features in it?

Eclectic Eccentricity: Geometrics v.2

Hi everyone!

A while ago, as I was browsing the Internet instead of doing Uni related work, I came across another jewellery website - Eclectic Eccentricity. For those of you who never heard of this label, EE are an online jewellery boutique specialising in vintage pieces. Here is some background information to put you in the picture: 

With a penchant for the pretty, Eclectic Eccentricity's founder Lucy Crick started scouring antique shops and markets for quaint curios and exquisite gems; piecing them together with other trinkets and treasures found hidden away for years. This is the heart of EE: each and every piece weaves a tale, from it's individual components, a new story is made.... it's jewellery with stories to tell.... 

Following from the success of last year’s Geometric launch, Eclectic Eccentricity have recently released Geometrics v.2, a new collection of bold geometric shapes, fluid lines and sumptuous universe-inspired beads. Think mathematical forms meets tribal accents and vintage flourishes. Perfection! I asked Grace, the lovely person behind EE's press team, to send me some images of the new collection's lookbook to be able to share them with you. These are the pieces that mostly caught my eyes:

The Deianira necklace consists of a duo of brass triangles entwined with gold plated chain.

It is then finished with softly tumbled Pyrite beads. 

Isis triangle pyramid necklace // Callisto multi drop charm necklace // Akira triple triangle necklace

Aria turquoise ring // Marilla lapis lazuli ring // Caelia vintage fire opal ring

The Penelope vintage charm bangle consists of a triplicate of vintage metal base bangles with a bronze, copper and silver patina, completed with golden brass diamonds and a 'mix and match' selection of Titanium Quartz, Turquoise or Pyrite bead.

How gorgeous are these pieces? I love them all, but my ultimate favourites are the Callisto multi drop charm necklace and the Marilla lapis lazuli ring. These items and all the others that are part of this collection can be bought here. What do you think of this collection? I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

Store Spotlight • Cherry Baby Jewellery

Hi everyone!

A while ago, I was invited to review some jewellery by Cherry Baby, a UK based online accessories boutique inspired by all things pretty, fun and fresh. And how could I ever say no to pretty jewellery? Their collections consist of unique accessories which are perfect to get the celebrity inspired look at very affordable prices (starting from just £2). A good number of the pieces found at Cherry Baby are handmade using recycled and vintage materials, but they also do custom-made and limited edition items.

The A/W 2012 collections - namely Pop Art, Retro, Wonderland, Have a little Faith, and Vintage Lover - have now launched on the Cherry Baby website, and include rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, pendants, hair accessories, compact mirrors and sunglasses, all with super cute charms and Cherry Baby’s signature bright colours and images. We should also expect to see more pieces inspired by the 80s, My Little Pony, Care Bears, She Ra! and so much more. How exciting is that? I’m especially looking forward to the My Little Pony and Care Bears collections, which remind me of my childhood days!

I was given the opportunity to choose my favourite item from their website, and I immediately fell for the Cat Chase necklace (for obvious cat obsession reasons :)). Together with the necklace, the lovely people at Cherry Baby sent me a surprise item – the Birds Nest ring. Unfortunately, the ring is a bit too small for my chubby fingers as it is not adjustable. However, I will surely put good use to it, maybe I'll wear it as a pendant. I’ll see where my creativity takes me. Both pieces are really pretty, and not something one would find in each and every store. I am mostly looking forward to wear the cat necklace. I love the contrasting colours of its charms.

Birds Nest ring* (£4.00)

Some of my other favourite pieces from Cherry Baby are the following:

Cat earrings / Mouse ring / Bird necklace

I hope you love these jewellery as much as I do. Will you be purchasing anything from Cherry Baby?

Hi everyone!

I love jewellery and accessories, as I personally think that they give an outfit that oomph factor, and can also transform a boring outfit. Last month, I purchased some gorgeous pieces from 3 brands which certainly need no introduction.

 Rock Quartz on gold necklace (£8.00)

I purchased this Rock Quartz on Gold Necklace from Delilah Dust. I had been eyeing this necklace for quite some time, and when they had an offer for their Facebook fans, I immediately added this beauty to my cart. The offer consisted of 5% off one's order, and also a free Delilah Dust wish necklace. Super!

These photos really don't do any justice to these necklaces, as they are much more pretty in real life. The chain of the Rock Quartz necklace was a bit too long for my tastes, but I put  the chain twice round my neck and it fit perfectly. 

Wish necklace* (£4.00)

Delilah Dust currently have a flash sale on their website. Grab a bargain with 35% off and FREE UK delivery when you spend £15 and more by using the code sundaysale at checkout.

Another purchase I made was from I Love Crafty, which is my all time favourite jewellery brand. Can I have everything from this shop? I love all the unique pieces, especially those from the 'Feline Fatale Collection', due to the fact that I am in love with cats. All the items at I Love Crafty are handmade, so it makes them even more special.

Kitty Collar Tips (£12.00)

These Kitty collar tips were in my October wishlist and I was so thrilled when I received my order. The packaging was out of this world - the collar tips came in a small black box, which was then in a bright pink velvet pouch. So pretty! The kitty collar tips are really, really gorgeous and I couldn't stop showing them to friends and family members. They were a real hit with everybody. Unfortunately, due to my very delicate nature (not!) I already broke an eye of one of these kitties! Heart broken. But I'm still in love with them just the same, and they still look as pretty as every! 

Wearing my Kitty Collar Tips with pride!

Last month, I won a giveaway on Twitter hosted by The Jewels Boutique. I had never owned anything from them before, so I was so happy with the £10 gift card. I was so unsure of what I should choose as I loved everything from their website. I finally chose a Gold Choker necklace and an Aztec skull ring. These items came in a black tulle pouch with black ribbon, which was so lovely and perfect for their storage! I suggest you check out their store as everything is so nice and really affordable!
