Cross and Ring Metal hardware Bag

18 Jun 2013

I may need to dissuade my frivolous needs to buy another handbag. Handbags are THE prime reason why I'm always misplacing my items, the crane that is my hand is always rummaging and transferring Purse ; Debit Cards : ID : Keys : Phone and Makeup etc to another handbag that compliments my mood, outfit and whim on the day.



Lickety-split forthwith   I lusted over the cross and ring metal hardware clasp on this bag, it slightly reminded me of the Givenchy Obsedia bag with the cross and ring clasp WITHOUT it being a fraction of the cost. 

I discovered it at my fave online store 11st, a reputable Korean marketplace where there's literally thousands and thousands of items, you will need patience but Boy does it pay off!! because there are so many gems to discover and the price is much CHEAPER than what you may get at Romwe , Choies , Sheinside or Oasap.

Thomas Sabo Jewellery – Create Your Own Unique Bracelet

13 Jun 2013

Having a unique look and eye for original clothing and accessories is something that sets you apart these days; something which is appreciated by companies such as Market Cross Jewellers. Being individual from the rest and standing out from the crowd is the modus operandi when it comes to style. Many designers and labels have recognised this and have started to branch out a little more when it comes to looks. No more do you have to stare at collections of plain and boring pieces, instead you are met with colourful, unique, pattern filled items that will clash and co-ordinate with the rest of your wardrobe. 

So how are brands venturing out into more unique designs? Well one name seems to be achieving it well and has quite a following when it comes to their popular collections. Thomas Sabo, a jewellery designer, produces bracelets and charms. The charms come in a vast array of different styles and types and can be bought and added to the brand’s starter bracelets. The concept it similar to Pandora and Chamilia who create empty bracelets and a selection charms which are added to them. This idea has proven popular with those looking for unique style and Thomas Sabo has become a popular choice for those looking originality.

Below are a few charms chosen from the Thomas Sabo charm club collection. Why not add some originality to your look with one of these unique charm bracelets.


Basically it works like this, you purchase a starter bracelet which is pretty basic and empty. You then choose from a wide range of charms and pick each one individually. These are then added to the starter bracelet, you can choose from as many as you like (make sure they fit on the bracelet of course). The concept of the item means that your design will be different from the rest, resulting in an original piece of jewellery. The perfect on trend accessory.

Michael Kors is a name synonymous with women’s designer watches. A MK watch is one know for its styles, design and excellence. I am sure many women out there will have pondered about a Michael Kors watch at some point, of course those who have them in their possession will be donning them on the wrists and staring dotingly at theirs right now. 

The latest range of MK watches sees a fresh look – leather. The usual bracelet style has been swapped for a leather strap and some summery colours to go with the new look too. The new collection from this high end designer is ideal for the summer season and offers a different style for those who aren’t a fan of the usual chunky bracelet strap, often seen on MK watches. 

For a peek at the stylish Michael Kors Leather collection, check out the below timepieces.
So do you like the new style of Michael Kors watches? Do you think you will be treating yourself to one? These new looks are ideal for summer style and will look perfect with any summery outfits you are planning to wear this season.

Sports Luxe Shoe Wedge

4 Jun 2013

My aching feet and paws usually drag across floors, making toilsome work of it. I think most of you would agree that the trainer/sneaker wedges have been a manna from heaven to the feet. I DESIRED the sneaker wedge equivalent for the summer, to team them up with sport chic outfits including luxe sweatshirts, varsity tee's, loose jersey trousers, shorts and skirts. After yonks squandered surfing aimlessly through my usual online jaunts.. I stumbled across the ideal pair and bought them in black. I'm now opting to buy them in WHITE as they are super comfy to schlepp around in.

Perforated items have been on my radar

Study Space-Saver

29 May 2013

I made a schedule I made a plan, to wave high those feather dusters and paint rollers to squeeze in a little late spring cleaning. I vowed that all household clutter be banned. I've had enough of the paint fumes and magnolia and moved on to the attic and study, which is filled to the brim with unwanted and unused CD's and DVD's from way back to my early teens. Once I decided to rummage through the CD's, a mini karaoke session transpired, minus the mic and some muddled lyrics, there was plenty of nostalgia going back to those good old days, but I can't use all these CD's as tea coasters...particularly since I don't drink tea!


Music Magpie - Trade in your CD's and DVD's 

I'm hoping my junk is someones else's treasure.. but listing each CD on eBay is a pain in the butt and car boot sales generate little profit! so I was gonna drop them all off at my local charity shop where I've handed my old bike yesterday. Then it occurred to me that I could sell stuff for cash elsewhere and Music Magpie seemed the most convenient to me. They could take my Cd's and DVDs off my hands immediately and I know I'll get a little spending money in return. 

I scanned the bar-code of my DVDs and CD's for a price valuation with my phone and found they wanted largely music albums which suited me fine since I had far too many. Feels pretty liberating once it was done, a space-saver, Sending your items to Music Magpie is free. You can either use free-post labels or arrange for a courier to collect them for free. 

Whilst I was on the verge of sending my CD's and DVD's to Music Magpie, irony would have it I received an email from Music Magpie for a sponsored post. Which killed 2 birds with one stone, but not a Magpie! I hope to use the cash to: wait for it...buy a new can of paint! yup, another 3 rooms to go including the skirting boards..good times!
