Pandora love



As you know I love dainty jewellery so today I thought I would write about my ever expanding Pandora collection;- the experts of dainty jewellery in my opinion. 

I purchased my first Pandora bracelet a few years ago and wear it regularly. I decided to opt for a Black leather bracelet because it is something that would go with many different outfits. I feel the leather bracelets can be worn casually or with more dressy outfits, along as they are stacked with other dainty silver bracelets. Recently I added the Double cream leather bracelet* to my collection. Again I chose this because it can be worn anytime, I love the colour of this bracelet and its a little different to the regular ones as it wraps around the arm twice.

I have a long list of charms I want to add to my bracelets but also like the look of them as they are. I suppose if you are wanting to collect lots of charms I would personally opt for the silver Pandora bracelet rather than the leather as you can’t put more than a few charms on it. I currently have a cute little heart charm and hope to get the little cupcake charm next.

I also have two Pandora rings, one of which is the Opal birthstone ring - I picked it out because I liked the colour and was assured by the sales assistant many people do this haha. I also have the Pandora Star ring* which they have newly launched for the Christmas collection. I think they look nice together.

I am very much a Pandora fan and hope to expand on my collection. I love the bracelets because you are able to find a charm for every occasion/milestone in your life and it just makes it all the more sentimental. The jewellery is timeless and of good quality. The rings look gorgeous stacked together, I love the way the sales assistants stack their jewellery. Pinterest also has some really good Pandora stacking ideas. They can of course be worn on their own too.

This is the ideal Christmas present for people of all ages. My Pandora wish list is ever growing, they have so many pieces I really want. (I hope I get to open a Pandora package on the 25th!)

Hope you enjoyed this post, do you have anything from Pandora? What do you think of the brand?

Dainty jewellery

Today I thought I would share with you a few of my recent jewellery loves. I’m an avid jewellery collector so have been adding to my already huge collection. I’ve noticed that 925 silver is best as it doesn’t tarnish that easily. And the style I go for is usually anything dainty as it is easy to wear and perfect for layering and stacking.

So for starters..
Fashionology had a sale on recently and after seeing Barbara and Sammi’s glowing reviews I just had to place an order. These 2 Above Knuckle rings were around £8 each, (half price I think). Barbara has been wearing hers for quite a while and they haven’t tarnished; this is usually the problem with cheaper jewellery so It made sense to pay more and buy these as they’re 925 silver. I love them, they look so delicate yet grungy - perfect. I have been wearing them for a few weeks now and they still look brand new; no green marks! 


A jewellery brand I recently came across was Jewellery Box who only recently launched. This is the same good quality silver so I was excited to receive these, they are also really affordable. I have been wearing the cute Swallow necklace and the Heart charm Bead bracelet since they arrived. I tend to layer them both with other jewellery - I really like that look. I’m loving the layered necklace trend in particular, I think it’s a great way to dress up plain outfits. I chose the Mother of Pearl ring also as I don’t own anything like it, it will be perfect worn with smart or more dressy evening outfits as its quite a statement ring.

Both brands made an effort with packaging which is a win! Gift boxed items will always have a safe place to be stored in, it also makes gifting easier as you don’t need to package it yourself. I love when companies make an effort with boxes and ribbons!

Have you got any favourite jewellery brands? What do you think of layering and stacking jewellery?

Wooden stag head for jewellery


I am so chuffed with this! The stag head theme in itself is quite quirky and looks great paired with pastels. I have been longing for either stag head cushions or even a print frame as I love the style of them of them so much. It was just by chance I came across this 3D version online; I knew I had to have it!

This was such a fun little project to do. The stag head arrives flat packed and all you need to do is slot the pieces in together. This was a lot simpler to do than initially anticipated, it has easy to read instructions so anyone can do it! You can then paint it or leave it natural which is the way i’ve left mine. This is such a fun display or you can use it as jewellery holder. Different to the normal way of sorting jewellery, this adds so much character to the room.

Would you believe this wooden stag head is only £10! It will make such a great gift also especially now with Christmas coming up. The iWoot site in general has a great selection of gifts from onesies to sweetie dispensers!

I hope you enjoyed this little review! Let me know what you think, different to the normal way of storing jewellery right?

Rosegold heart ring tray



This little heart tray is fab for storing little dainty rings. I glammed it up a little with the help of a Rose Gold nail varnish and dotted it on; I think it looks pretty cute.

Let me know what you think?
