Cutie Pie.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently - I have had an absolute mountain of work to do and so blogging had to take a back seat. But the good news is that I handed in the last of it today and should now be posting much more regularly.

Anyway, those of you who have followed for a while will know that I have a complete weakness for quirky jewellery. I am always looking for news places to find something a bit different and on reading some of my favourite fashion mags I came across Cutie Pie Jewellery. Here are some pieces that caught my eye:

Afternoon tea necklace - £16

Paparazzi camera charm necklace - £12.50

You shall go to the ball necklace - £8

Golden compass vintage necklace - £16

Story time - £25 (down from £42) - As worn by Jameela Jamil at Fashion Week!

I particularly love the kettle-clock necklace - SO cute, just as the name suggests. 

The great thing about individual websites such as Cutie Pie is that everything is home-made, in this case by the obviously talented Danielle Butler. So the jewellery that you receive could be exclusive, or at least limited edition - giving it that extra special feel and meaning that you won't see your latest purchase on every other girl on the high street. I think that it's great to support businesses like this and lovely to know that extra care went into creating these beautiful pieces.

It's safe to say that Cutie Pie has been added to my favourites, and will no doubt be making a dent in my ever-decreasing bank account.

Yeah, Yayer.

I'm sure many of you have heard of Yayer before and I have definitely mentioned the website in previous posts - but with it being the official British SUMMER TIME (yay!) there seems no more appropriate time to dedicate a whole post to their beatiful items.

I must admit I found the website through another wonderful blogger, but I just haven't looked back since. It not only has a hugely character-filled vintage section, but a modern section also and a lookbook to show you how to put their pieces together.

Here are a couple of my favourite styles from their Lookbook:



I am especially in love with this second skirt. These bright colours teamed with the retro style go brilliantly with the blazer to create an effortlessly quirky look that even the less brave could pull off. I want to be able to wear this look out tomorrow!

Yayer also has many, many more classic items. (oh gosh my bank account is going to be so very empty)

Vintage loves ♥ :

Colour Patchwork Playsuit - £30.00

Words cannot describe how much I want to own this playsuit. Not only does it look like the most comfortable outfit that would ever float around my curves, the patchwork style is just adorable. I would probably team this playsuit with my extremely retro jellies and my new H&M sunnies. If only it was in my size...dammit.

Levis Fringed Denim Shorts - £25

How much do you love the summer fringe trend?! I think they give these shorts that extra edge that makes them ideal for the festival season.

No Love Lost Cardigan - £30

I know, I know...we are getting further away from the winter months as I type. But that does not make me love this cardigan any less. I adore the bright colours and over-sized cosy fit. Perhaps they will be just right for those summer nights when I want to snuggle up around a bonfire with my friends...

Modern loves ♥ :

Yayer Tribal Bodycon Skirt - £24

I'm thinking that this could be my equivilent to the Lookbook styles above. With a loose-fit black vest and a blazer I think it's very achievable at an extremely reasonable price.

Antique Floral Playsuit - £22

I'm not sure I've ever seen a playsuit more appropriate for summer. I love the neutral body colour. Hopefully it should stop my skin from looking quite as pastey as it actually is. I think it would look great with my gladiator sandals - what do you think?

Accessories ♥ :

Brick Boho Saddle Bag - £18

The perfect summer bag - goes with everything, has bags (geddit?) of character and has a long strap to hang elegantly by your dresses.

All in all, you've gotta give it to them - Yayer are really pulling out all the stops this season. You can get a completely individual style which you can be assured you won't see around every corner as you would with a normal high street outfit and they give you a chance to add that quirkiness that your summer wardrobe really needs.

It's time to start saving those precious pennies, ladies. I know I will.

What do you love on Yayer at the moment?

The new collection

Hello there my lovelies :)

Hope you've all had a good couple of days.

I've been so spoilt I just had to share my new accessories collection with you. You might have gathered by now that I really love my quirky necklackes or anything remotely cute so I was over the moon when my lovely friends got me these beauties.

I don't exactly know where they are all from so you will have to excuse this post for lacking a few details.

Topshop - named 'Robota' (like Roberta - geddit?!)

Ok, so the sunglasses were a little birthday treat to me, from me. But I do rather enjoy them.

I enjoy all of them really. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends who obviously know me so very well. All of these are now hanging on my mirror with pride.

My housemates also got me those gorgeous Miss Selfridge shorts from my first ever post which has made me a very happy bunny. I practically stripped in front of them in excitement when trying them on! Unfortunately, the pair they managed to get me didn't fit but I found some in a slightly different colour that are a perfect size. I plan to wear them out tomorrow night with my new Primark tattoo-look tights.

I'll be sure to post on Saturday to show you how they look!

Thanks for reading, it means a lot to have a fair few of you following me already.
