'If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's'
I'm quite precise when it comes to jewellery. I don't have many pieces, but the bits i do have mean something to me. I have one particular friend who has hundreds of bits and pieces tucked away, gems here there and every where. There's never a day, i don't see her without a vintage inspired cocktail ring or a lovely gold charmed necklace. I admire each piece she wears, wishing i had the time to compliment each outfit with a pretty charmed necklace or cute studs. The few pieces i do have though, i wear constantly, although they may be pricey i have received them as a gift, in which makes the piece so much more enjoyable to wear! Here are few pieces that i love..
Return to Tiffanys Pendant Necklace - Tiffany
This was a gift from my parents around three years ago, it's quite small but thats what i love about it. It's not in your face, not too chunky or tacky - just right.
Silver Studs - Tiffany
I have not removed these cute studs since christmas, i live in studs. These silver balled studs were bought for me from my boy, they are uber shiny and quite large in size.
Silver Balled Bracelet - Tiffany
For my 18th birthday, i received a Tiffany voucher from my closet friends. This was an amazinnnng present, and after thinking long and hard i chose this bracelet (they match the earrings above). I cannot describe how shiny the silver is! It compliments anything i wear. Its completely understated, i think i love it more because it doesn't scream Tiffany. The sales assistant removed a few 'balls' ;) so that the bracelet is the perfect size. I adore this!
Pearl Silver Ring - Monsoon
This is one of my favourite rings ever. I love pearls and this ring is an entirely different way to wear them! This ring was a complete bargain, around the £10 mark, the silver has stayed in perfect condition. I love wearing this ring, my boy bought me the matching necklace but it's not as special as the ring!
Blue Topaz Ring set with Amethyst Shoulders - SWAG
This is an eye catcher! I wear this ring every single day, and it catches people eye all the time. I love that its a cocktail ring, with such a real sparkler Topaz! My style is quite classic but this ring breaks the rules, its large and sparkling in your face. You love it or hate it. My parents bought me this last year with some inheritance money, i will for ever love this and i will always, always treasure it.
i love collecting and building up my jewellery collection.

Hello, I Love You
So i just finished my last university report for the year, my 2nd year. God Lord, i'll be over and done with before i can splutter out the word dissertation.
Can i just say that i never ever ever ever win anything, you know everyone says that but they secretly do. Well i've never won anything special. So imagine my delight when i won Vex in the City's competition to win tickets Sex and The City advance screening on Friday. Then imagine my face when i realised i had already pre-booked tickets to go see it on Friday at the same time anyway. epic fail.
But thank you Vex in The City for chance.
But sod that! Well excited to see SATC tomorrow, last year i went to see the film advance preview in Leceister Square. This weird middle aged woman started snotting (yes snotting) in the row behind us, it was just gross to be honest, now i cry at everything but come on love! Then me and bffs went to the Dorchester hotel for some after drink Martinis and Cosmos, the most expensive drink i've ever bought, but totally worth it ;)
So i have a busy weekend lined up, tomorrow i'm seeing the SATC film in Kensington, then a spot of retail therapy in the new Knightsbridge Topshop and then an ice cream sundae in Harrods - YUM! Then a quick train to New Cross to see my lovely Sarah's theatre performance. Then Saturday i'm shopping with the boy - then in the evening driving to Watford for my gorgeous friend's 21st, with even more cocktails! She hired cocktail men, yes, cocktail men! I spy a very tipsy weekend.

say what!
A few weeks ago i was emailed by a lovely lady called Emma, she works for a magazine produced for Graduate Fashion Week. Basically, GFW is young graduated designers one hot shot at being discovered and being fast-tracked to work at a fashion house. Between the 6-10th of June, the hottest young designers will showcase their best collections to critics and a number of head hunters scouting their next protege. With the likes of Stella Macartney and Julian MacDonald being 'found' here, with Giles Decon and Matthew Williamson dishing out awards, GFW is a important date for the fashion industry.


So, back to my exciting news. As part of GFW, there is an educational day set aside for budding fashion students interested in studying fashion at higher education. Emma's magazine Fashionista is a glossy giveaway for the students, giving them all the insider fashion tips and tricks they need to know about the industry - and i was asked to write a piece for the magazine! This is just a little bit -well MASSIVE- excitement for me! I have never had any work published before in print, this was an amazing opportunity presented to me so naturally i snapped it up! I wrote my article on blogging, and how this can really further your career in the fashion industry. Exciting!

Fashionista goes to print tomorrow, the the magazine can be viewed online too, so i'll definitely post a link so you can have a good read!
Another few girlies have also had their work printed- checking out their blogs is a must!:
- Sarah, my actual bff, at My Sentimental Heart
- Emma, a good blogging friend of mine, at Jersey and The Monkey
- Annabella, the very pretty lady, at A Girl Should Be Two Things, Classy and Fabulous.
champers on me! ;)
