at one with nature

blouse Topshop; shorts Aspesi

Birds, they fly through the light peaceful air,

singing songs of serenity
one moment perched on a blossoming branch,
next visiting here and there

Hi there ladybird, wondering along my finger,
with your presence that's always pleasing
a charming combination of red and black,
how I could I be disgusted by your linger?

Good afternoon, butterflies, socialising amongst the flowers,
your wings are like works of art
A pretty feature under the clear blue sky,
I could sit with you all for hours

Ah Spring and Summer, don't you just love them? Equally as charming are statement accessories full of character and colour. You can always count on Tatty Devine for super fun jewellery and their Spring Summer collection is no exception. I believe they have captured the essence of that time of the year well and I can't think of anything better than a lady bird permanently attached to my finger.

Happy pancake day!

Whoever came up with the idea of pancake day and was able to turn it into a yearly event is a genius. Pancakes are great eaten whenever but a day dedicated to them? YUM. 
How awesome are these delicious jewellery pieces, which can all be found on etsy.com? I thought they suited the occasion rather well, especially the ring which literally looks good enough to eat.

Speaking of eating, how do you like your pancakes? American-style smothered in syrup? Or breakfast style with fresh fruit? I took to the sweet and savoury options because I'm both indecisive and greedy. Dinner consisted of a filling of kale and tomatoes, served with sweet potatoes while dessert was coconut pancakes oozing with ice cream and topped with chocolate and fruit. Am I making you hungry? I hope so.

Acknowledge these accessories

Place a statement necklace over your head or around your neck and an outfit can automatically look all the more endearing. Pop in a pair of dazzling earrings and your appearance may look all the more beautiful. Put an attractive ring on your finger and hands immediately become all the more appealing to look at. Yep, aren't accessories great?

Shourouk and Lulu Frost are both brightening up these cold, dismal, wintry days with the toasty orange and vibrant purple and Florence Welch has warmed up my heart (just like she does with her goddess vocals) with her Flotique jewellery range. Light chains stream down like picturesque waterfalls and geometric shapes adorn the ends, inspiration taken from her album Ceremonials. A bird cage is present too, in the form of a silvery ring, for that vintage, Flo touch that I can't help but feel affection for. I love Florence and I love her style and I love the fact she's created her own jewellery collection even more. Keep them coming please!!

christmas trees and snowflakes

A short-winded post this Sunday evening as I share with you some of my latest festive accessories. All bits and bobs are from The Bead Gallery, a shop in my home town that's made for all your beading needs. With the bracelet, I was foolish enough to not buy the right amount of red and green beads so, like all totally creative people do (har har), I improvised. Does it look stupid? I think it looks kind of stupid. Oh well, let's call it 'quirky'. I hope you are all had a fabulous weekend!! x

my cup of tea.

The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant! Cue broody women, the proclaimed affection for the royal family and lots of lots of speculation over the child's gender, appearance, personality...you get the idea. (Poor Kate! I really hope she gets better soon too.) In a self-centered kind of way, this announcement could not have come at a better moment as it's just recently I have been lusting over Disaya's autumn winter 2012 jewellery from the 'My Cup of Tea' collection. Tea forks and spoons, saucers, teapots, chandeliers, teacups, and strawberry layered cake, these accessories combine the finest things in life: fashion and afternoon tea.

what is there possibly not to love? You can buy the below now from My  Flash Trash, they'd make the most delectable gift for Christmas!
