#WantItWednesday (28/10/15)

I am going away with the family for Christmas this year... it's going to be warm, the exchange rate (for now) is looking good and I am slowly starting to warm up to the idea... 

As it has been a while since I have flown long haul I have been thinking quite seriously about luggage options (all of my current options are only suitable for long weekends) and whenever I think of luggage I remember the greatest fictional luggage collection ever to have existed. Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Limited Family Luggage collection. 

Via Classic Driver

I loved this film and the luggage stayed with me forever. I lusted after the collection (created specifically for the film by Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs no less) and spend months, searching hoping and praying that this luggage collection were available to buy so I could bankrupt myself.

 Alas, it was only made for the film and the pieces were auctioned off for charity at a cost I couldn't even come close to, even if I did actively bankrupt myself. 

Then... Something happened. 

#WantItWednesday (21/10/15)

So my birthday has been and gone, I am sad that I am another year older and I still have birthday money burning a hole in my pocket (that wasn't converted to gin). So I have been scouring the globe (literally) looking for ways to spend my birthday money! I shouldn't have wasted my time; the answer was right in front of me and in my own city the whole time. 

From Alex Monroe

One of my favourite jewellery designers of all time, Alex Monroe is famed for his glorious bee motif jewellery. I have spoken about my love for his craftsmanship time and time again. So when it comes to Treat 'Yo Self for your birthday I could think of nothing else I wanted 'to me, from me'

I love a pinky ring and this truly is the pinkiest of pinky rings and is just GORGEOUS! 

I wear a lot of white gold and silver jewellery and this sits with the rest of my permanent jewellery collection beautifully.  

The bee motif is classic Monroe; beautiful  and as quintessentially British as ever. Just another reason why I desperately want it! 

Each ring is personally sized so you needn't worry about it falling off like most off the rack rings and the bee is just raised enough for it to not catch on every sleeve you have ever owned (extra important during the winter months)

So yeah, this is exactly what my birthday money is going toward, much better than gin I think!

Until Next Week!

So I missed a week, I've been busy drawing up and sending a lists to everyone in time for my birthday, which is (shock horror) tomorrow. *sad face*

From & Other Stories

So at the top of my list to commiserate another year older with this beauty from & Other Stories. With the weather drawing in this is the perfect item to sink into stylishly. 

I love the lapels on this too, perfect to pop in the driving wind and fill with a thick, extra warm scarf, like this one. 

The colour is great too. It makes you feel like the winter is a distant memory with its pastel hue.  This works well with all of my favourites shades of uniformity (Navy, Grey, Beige) 

Have a look at my ways to wear below:

Go on... you've 24 hours until my birthday and the weather is looking pretty crappy. Who wants to get me a present (or five?!) 

Until Next Week!
