Dynamite Designs Jewellery

 

 

Hello lovelies,

 

I wanted to show you this gorgeous jewellery I picked up a few weeks back from Dynamite Designs Jewellery. Myself & my friend Cathy went to Newbury showground & this lovely jewellery stand caught our eye.

 

I couldn't resist picking up the set, which included the necklace, earrings & bracelet. I could just see myself sitting at dinner with a little black dress on & simply accessorizing with these gorgeous pieces to complete the look.

 

 Please check out the lovely Di Hodge's website, she sells the most beautiful items : )

 

*Please note, I was not sponsored to write this post, these are all my own opinions & I bought the items, they weren't gifted to me*

Mini Haul - Accessorize & Claire's Accessories

 

Hello lovelies, how are you all?

 

I thought I'd show you a few bits & pieces I've picked up recently.

 

Cat face mask, Accessorize - £3 (sale)

How adorable is this?! I showed James & he got a bit freaked out that I was going to wear it in bed every night which made me laugh.. think he was a bit scared of it. But I mainly bought it with the intention of wearing it on a plane or travelling. When we went to Lanzarote last week, we came home on a late flight where I tried for ages to sleep. Unfortunately, the lights in the plane were on quite brightly, so I found it near impossible to drift off. I also get a bit freaked out with people watching me sleep, so in a weird way, it makes me feel they can't see me as much, you know? I'm probably being weird.. but it was just too cute to not get it in this cute print as well!



Set of 5 nail art pens, Accessorize - £6 (sale)

I love doing my nails as you all know if you've been a reader of my blog for a while, but I sadly don't own many nail art pens. I have a black, white & pink but it limits what I can create. These were such a bargain at half price (originally £12) I had to grab them! As you can see, they are a matte finish which doesn't really bother me either way but it'll be interesting to see how they appear on the nails.



Blusher, Accessorize - £2.50 (sale)

This is a baked blusher in the shade Quiver. I'm going to do a full review on this but I was on the hunt for a new blusher for a while so thought I'd give this one ago. Have you tried any of their blushers? I'd be interested to hear what you think.

 

Earrings, Claire's Accessories - £1.50 (sale)

I adore staple earrings for an evening out & as I hadn't bought earrings for what felt like the longest time, I just had to pick these up!

 

What have you bought recently? Any good bargains? : )

Jewellery Haul x 2

Hello lovelies.

Sorry I haven't been blogging much, I just haven't really been inspired too recently. I've been working alot & sorting out other general life things, blogging has totally taken a back seat, which I hate.

Anyway, I thought I'd show you a couple of things I picked up in the Dorothy Perkins & Topshop sales. I seemed to pick up all silver in Dorothy P's & all gold in Topshop.. weird. : ) Oh & I definitely recommend going & having a look at both sales, they've got some gorgeous items in at the moment.



Dorothy Perkins



1. Double chain ring - £1 - I've been looking for a ring like this for ages. I'm really into rings at the moment, adding the chain just makes it different to any of the ones I already own so I had to snatch it up.

2. Collar necklace - £1 - This was originally £10 can you believe!? I wasn't going to spend that much on it as it's quite a unique piece, I've got to try to figure out what to wear it with. : /

3. Ball & cross bracelet - £1 - Another obsession of mine that is growing & growing.. (you'll notice this in the Topshop items I picked up too) is crosses. I've got a pair of earrings, a necklace & ring so I thought I better add to the collection & get a bracelet. Besides, who could resist this at just £1!?

4. Double cross ring - £2 - I think this ring is actually down to £1 now as well, but I still thought it was amazing for £2. Again.. crosses. I know.. I'm going to be swamped in them soon..

Topshop

1. Set of 4 gold rings - £3.75 - These were half price in the sale, two of them are plain gold, the other two are slightly patterned with vertical stripes. I've been wearing two on my index finger & two on my middle finger, they are so gorgeous.

 2. Silver & gold cross necklace - £2.50 - Ladies & gentleman, my new favourite necklace. Nothing else to say really. : )

3. Cross ear cuff - £1.50 - Yes I know, another cross. But look how cute it is! Looks amazing paired with this necklace.

So that's it lovelies. Have you been to either of these sales & picked up anything nice? If you have anymore cross jewellery items you recommend, send them to meee. #TotallyObsessed

Small Haul - Topshop

When Topshop has it's January sale, I literally cry with joy.

You've probably noticed from previous hauls / posts etc I never really buy much from Topshop, except odd pieces of jewellery or sale items. I just find them so expensive & whenever I go into the shop, I never find something I like that much to justify the price. Maybe I'm just stingy..

Anyway, here's a few bits I picked up from the January sales.

 

I know what you're thinking about this necklace. "Cat your name begins with C, not G." You'd be right in saying that. Sadly, there were no C's, so I got a G. As corney & as it is, a G is very similar to a C & as most of you know, my boyfriend's name begins with a G. It seemed cute at the time. ; ) Hahaha.

Hope you're all having a good weekend so far. : )

Couple Of Things..

Hey girls, how are you all?

Went for our usual tea trip to town yesterday & I picked up these little things:

Originally £5 - Beales

Originally £5 - Beales

Originally £15! - Dorothy Perkins

I think my favourite item has to be the necklace from Dotty P's. £2 down from £15!? Can't go wrong with that. : )

Sorry it's such a short post today girls, I'm manically trying to get ready for Gord's coming down on Friday & sorting out work times. Hope you're all well. : )

Peacock Tails

Hi girls, hope you're all well.

I've just got in from a trip to town with my girls. We went to this gorgeous little tea room called The Black Olive, I had a tea as standard, Emz had a hot chocolate & Lauren had a leek soup. I love finding little places around my town that I never knew existed. Especially quaint little tea rooms. : )

Also girls, be proud! I only spent £2! (Well minus the tea, car park & all my mum's birthday presents) But only £2 on myself! I hate the shops at the moment, sales everywhere, which ultimately equals way too much temptation. >.<

So I managed to get this ring from Dorothy Perkins. I've had my eye on it since it came out, but I wouldn't have paid £8.50 for it. However, I saw it the other day for £4 & considered getting it next time I was in town, but today I found it for £2! So happy. : )

I also spotted these gorgeous earrings. I want them so badly..

Buy them here at Dorothy Perkins

How pretty are these?! -sigh-

I'm hopefully going out tonight to the pub with some friends, just for a quiet night of drinks & chatting. : ) Yay. It's so cold though, I'm thinking coat, scarf, gloves & hat. Oh yes. Chat to you all soon darlings. : )

Silver Cross Earrings

Morning girls. : )

Just want to show you these gorgeous silver cross earrings I got from Coley, her blog is simply beautiful & so are the items in her shop, so go have a look now if you don't already follow her. She's currently on holiday at the moment (lucky thing!) so if you order anything, remember she won't be able to send it to you for 2 weeks.

So here's my gorgeous new earrings:

The packaging is simply adorable.

I can't wait to wear them tomorrow!

So yeah, I planned to go to London yesterday with my boy (to the Science Museum) but of course, with the recent events taking place, we didn't think it was safe to go, so we ventured to Littlehampton instead & found this gorgeous little pet shop, munched on chips & watched families crabbing on the pier. It was nice & warm too, so we sat & had an ice cream in the car on the way.

How's everyone's week going? I'm still looking for guest bloggers while I'm away, so please check out this post if you're interested. : D

Antelopes..

Earrings - £1 Primark.

How cute are they!? & total bargain if I do say so myself. ; )

I actually originally thought these earrings were deer, but after some studying & people staring at my ears to see what they were, we all decided they're antelopes! : D

It was Cathy's birthday yesterday, so we went to the pub to celebrate in the evening. I'm really struggling for evening outfits recently. I think it's because of the weather. Ok, I know I should be able to adapt to the weather (I am from England - haha!) I should be used to the weather changing it's mind 3 / 4 times a day, but I can never decide. Tights, no tights. Heels, no heels. Dress, skirt, shirt, top.. argh the list goes on. Maybe it's just me being indecisive. Please tell me I'm not the only one who changes their outfit about 3 times before going on a night out?!

Anyway, haven't got too much planned this week accept work, hopefully going to the science museum with the boy on Wednesday. (We've been saying we'll go every Wednesday for the past few weeks so hopefully we actually will this week!) Hope you're all well. : )



Floral Heaven

  Hope you all had a good Valentines day! Mine was spent travelling on trains for 4 hours & then straight to work for a 6 hour shift, so not the most perfect day, but my weekend was pretty damn special.  

  On Saturday, my boyfriend took me out for a meal at this beautiful Indian restaurant & then to the cinema where we were going to see How Do You Know, the new film with Reece Witherspoon in, but it was sold out so we ended up going to see The Fighter. Not your typical Valentines day film, but it was actually really good. Here's my beautiful card & Toblerone, (YUM - one of my favourite chocolates).

  Then on Sunday, I went to visit my best friend in Birmingham. Neither of us had ever been to Birmingham before, but it was a central meeting place, in between my boyfriend's uni & hers. We managed to find a huge shopping centre (wasn't that hard to be honest, it was right next to the train station!) & spent the day looking around the shops & eating Subways. I immediately fell in love with the huge Forever 21 shop. It had 3 levels! I had to buy something from there, so I settled for this gorgeous necklace:



Necklace: £2.80

 I would have bought tons more, but I have limited funds until pay day on the 19th. I also got these from Primark:



 Earrings: £1



Makeup brush: £1.50

Earrings: £1.50 (3 pairs)

  I'm in love with floral accessories & clothes at the moment. When I get paid, I'm so filling my wardrobe up with pretty floral items for the Summer.

  How was everyone's weekend? Did anyone get any surprise cards? : D

Sopping Trip Part II: The Accessories

  I did buy some clothes too, hopefully I'll post some up before I go away on Thursday for the weekend. But for now, have a look at these:

Rings:

New Look: £3

New Look: £3

Earrings:

Accessorize: £2.70 (sale price down from £7.00)

Primark: £1

Necklace:

New Look: £4



  They aren't the best of photos, because I had a rush to take them before work, but I love owl accessories & my favourite earrings have to be the ones from Accessorize, the gold ones with the bird cages. I just love how unique they are & you can wear them for smart or casual wear. Also, going along with the owl theme, one of my best friends sent me this for Christmas:

  She knows how much I adore owls & I'm absolutely in love with this necklace! I'm sorry I can't say where its from & how much because it was a gift, but thought I'd share it with you anyway. I've had so many compliments from wearing this & it goes with so many of my outfits that I wear day to day. Love love love it!
