#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! 

#WantItWednesday (12/03/14)

Having just gotten my hands on a grown up time piece, I eagerly urge you to do the same for this week's #WantItWednesday.

My new favourite watch label offers a complete range of classic, quirky time pieces that will not only stand the test of time but are chic and effortless.

The watches from Olivia Burton are classic in style with a heavy dose of irony. Inspired by a collective love of vintage designs with a functional quality; they are wearable not just by themselves but beg to be paired with all of those friendship bracelets you have been collecting and aren't sure if you could wear everyday.

I currently have my beauty on with silver bracelet (a birthday present from my grandmother), a leather friendship bracelet from BCBGMAXAZRIA and another silver panel bracelet (another birthday present from my mother)

These watches look great as a casual enhancement to a preppy look (button up shirt, Fisherman Jumper, Jeans and Brogues) or can elegantly blend in with the desperately on trend colour blocked ensemble. They just go with everything!

I am lusting after the above Woodland Moulded Bee Big Face watch (above) as they have a big enough face to carry the androgynous (Michael Kors Inspired) Frying pan style, but are elegant enough to make you feel feminine and not weigh your wrist down. I am definitely keeping my eye out for this when I next get paid and I urge you to do the same!
