My first OOTD...

Here's my first 'Outfit Of The Day'. I threw this together to go for a meal with my mum and a spot of shopping, where I picked up some goodies for my room ready for university, which I'll be doing a post on very soon!

+ Jumper - Zara Sale £9.99
+ Jeans - Zara Skinny Jeans £39.99
+Boots - Topshop Mighty £45
+Satchel - Accessorize Sales £15 
+Jewellery - Pandora silver and zirconia ring
- Links of london xs sweetie bracelet
- Swarovski crystal tennis bracelet


Here are my Topshop Mighty boots. These are the new models of the Topshop Allegra boots which I unfortunately missed out on! These boots are soo comfortable. I'm normally a lover of knee high boots and long necklaces but recently I've been loving ankle boots and short chocker necklaces!


I love this satchel, it is sooo pretty with all the detail! I bought this in the sale about a year ago at accessorize. Luckily it goes perfect with my new boots!


Now I didn't wear this in the post, but it would have looked great! I've been looking for the perfect short necklace and I came across this in the sale at 'Folli Follie' in Cardiff. What a bargain, £26 to £15! I love it, and it goes perfect with my everyday Links and Swarovski bracelets. It's basically a bunch of silver leaves in three tiers, hanging from a thick chain.


Have you found any pretty short necklaces? Do you prefer the Mighty boots or Allegra?

Little Gems...


I received this gorgeous little parcel in the post recently from Wavy Handmade Jewellery. I was only expecting the Jewellery I'd ordered in some ordinary brown paper packaging, but I opened it and found this beautifully presented parcel. They obviously pay great detail to each and every order processed by recording the persons name and getting it printed. It made my purchase so personal. I love it. 



So after wanting everything from the site, I decided on this little gem.. for only £3.50!?


I fell in love with this handmade necklace the moment I set eyes on it! It's been in my 'cart' for a while until I finally decided to purchase! The necklace has a long silver chain that falls just past my bust, which I believe is the perfect length. There was also a shorter length chain available to choose from.


How beautiful is this!? The Pendent is a turquoise stone with dark blue veins running through, neatly wrapped and held with silver. I also ordered the 'Tibetan Silver Skull Bead Bracelet' after seeing it on my friend's blog 'A Subtle Difference'. However, the item was out of stock, but Kate kindly gave a hand written note within the parcel including a free shipping code for my next purchase.


This again gave that lovely personal touch. Kate has also offered to email me to let me know when the bracelet is in stock so I can re-order the item.




So when I seen this necklace, I also seen the versatility for swapping pendants! Above I have a Swarovski crystal cross that I bought in San Fransisco and a mother of pearl cross that I bought from a crystal stall in a market. Both these necklaces came with short silver chains, so it would be great to add to this new chain. Kate also sells a similar necklace called the 'Small Cross Necklace'.






The silver chain provided allows you to simply take off the pendent and use another, which I love!! Maybe it would be a great idea if they decided to sell the pendants individually with the option of adding a chain!! 


Have you ordered any items from Wavy Jewellery? What did you think?
