Jewellery Trend: Dainty

Phew, a busy start to the week! I was able to purchase the Pax wardrobe that I blogged about last week from Ikea (yay)  so my lovely boyfriend assembled it for me last night. I am super chuffed with it - pictures to follow..

I love a bold statement necklace, but recently I have been coveting these beautiful dainty jewellery pieces. It's always good to mix it up to suit the mood and ocasion and sometimes I just prefer to go for a more simple look - here is what has been inspiring me lately:


Love the ring bracelet below - so far though I have only been able to track down a more 'chunky' version...






There are so many great dainty jewellery products on Etsy...I am preparing a round up for tomorrow x

Blogged & Bought

I kinda liked this top when I first saw it in Top Shop, but it wasn't until I saw it on style heroine that I loved it and decided to buy it.  Since then I have hardly taken it off as it is so versatile. Love it when I find a great new piece...


I like to wear it with my favourite chunky crystal and pearl necklace..

Something for the Weekend


I seem to be developing a new chambray shirt crush - thinking I would style mine like the one above...




I love this quote by Marianne Wiliamson. I don't know where I would be without the beautiful things around me. Putting on a favoutite bracelet or spending 5 minutes perusing the latest posts from my favourite bloggers always brightens my day : )

Have a great weekend!

Wishlist Wednesday: Shoe Closet



My shoes currently sit in neat rows on the floor of my spare bedroom. They take up a lot of room and it is quite difficult to clean around them as they all have to be moved. I have been thinking of re-organising the room to make the space more useful and want to include a desk and work space for  blogging and jewellery making. Some kind of shoe storage is definitely on my list of things to buy.

I dream of having the kind of closet that has open drawers, shelves and hanging space so this could be a great start! I have my eye on the Ikea Pax 50cm (20 inches) frame which I can customise any way I want with shelves and at just £35, it's a real steal...




My shoes lined up in the spare bedroom..



I had planned to go to Ikea this week but didn't get the time so plan to go some time over the weekend, fingers crossed I can make it and get the bedroom makeover under way : )

Luscious Lighting

I have arranged for a builder to come over this week so I can start my lounge renovation project. I want to discuss knocking out the fireplace to make way for a real log fire and I also need to get rid of a rather awful artex patterned ceiling (yikes!). That also means I will soon be in the market for new light fittings and have noticed that hanging cluster and sputnik pendants have been catching my eye.....

Love the mixture of candle and golf ball light bulbs below..

I am putting together a shopping post for these styles of lights which I hope to have done this week, in the mean time follow my lighting board on pinterest to get new lights inspiration..
