+small finds+

forgot to tell you about my new handcrafted purchases the other weekend, which are great as friendship bracelets as well. They come in sweet little packaging with messages ranging from 'Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things', 'You're a Star!' and 'I ♥ you'. Found them at Oliver Bonas and there were so many to choose from but i finally opted for these. if the string would've been a bit longer i would've loved them as anklets. it seems the star bracelet can only be bought in store for now though...

+mad about cuffs+

sorry for being MIA past days but this cold has made me so lazy that straight after work i just go home, jump into bed and watch mad men. I had an exciting sunday as well going to the beauty expo and spending money i wasn't supposed to, and then going to a raw food cooking course. delich! but enough of that...my new favourite below found at missguided. cheap as chips and delivery next day! love it.

+saturday thoughts+

because we all feel a little lonely at times, miss someone, or think too much...dance and drawing is my way to express this. beautiful piece by Ryan Woodward. expression through creation is the most powerful tool we have. use it. happy saturday all! x

+silver lining+

c'mon spriiiiiing! Freezing in our agency right now. so i'm looking for little birdies to remind me of blue skies, warm rays, and floral scents...with a rock n' roll edge of course...

the sun is finally out after a frosty morning, and it makes me long for the midsummer's eve in sweden where you make wreaths of flowers to adorn your head and run in the fields picking wild strawberries and boat rides in the archipelago...a girl can dream right? some months to go. until then, maybe a more elegant head bang for the cityscape...

+bird is the word+

particularly loving these wooden, hand carved swan earrings from catbird. makes me just want to admire and touch them the whole time. personally i'd only wear one rather than a pair in both ears.

+happy love day!!+

+all night long+

do actions speak louder than words, or does a pendant just lay it out it straight? I think this works for both boys and girls since the reverse side says "music,whiskey,girls"...

+slice of love+

i'm not sure whether i believe in crystal healing, but i do know that my friend's house is one of the calmest and most peaceful places i have ever been in, and she has crystals around her house. so, for her sake, i've found these gorgeous necklaces from axthread that offer a slice of love. Amethysts symbolize 'natural awakenings' and purity, also signifying the third eye/7th chakra. i could use a little of this in my life right now having been unfolded some truths about a past i'm trying to filter out.

+love seas through it+

it's so cold right now that i'm fantasising about warm beaches and turquoise waters. until then, these bangles from KEP will have to do... 

there's currently a sale on them now at Gilt so best get on it!

Last picture is the 'set of 6 gold rope and enamel bangles' mixed with the starfish bangle.

+fitting in+

sometimes you just want to be different (cue Siam style rings), other times your ring is just too small to fit, but whoever said you can't just wear it wherever it fits? I remember watching Friends back in the day and seeing Phoebe with the layered look thinking it was really different. now i think it's just a bit silly to buy 'fitted' rings for a layered style. Just buy a different size! I'll still give you a link for it though ;)

+its animalistic+

its not just hearts and chocolates that's symbolic for this heart filled month. i think (ideally) oversized, beautifully crafted animal brooches show your wilder side rather than your sweet dispositions. much more intriguing and eye-catching. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
