ASTRID & MIYU

Over Easter i found this website called Astrid & Miyu. I have completely fallen in love.  Astrid is a nordic name and Miyu is asian. I love that they both mean “exceptionally beautiful”. The company is run by 2 friends from 2 different parts of the world and their collection is so beautifully designed. It is unique, classy and fashionable - everything a woman needs in her life! Their mission is to make every woman feel happy and exceptionally beautiful, and they defiantly deliver! 


I decided to treat myself as I have finished uni for this year and I bought this beautiful bracelet. Because this was my 1st purchase from them, I received £10 off! bargain! it came with such quick delivery and in a beautiful box with a message. i am so impressed with the quality and style and i will definitely be buying from them again.

Isn't this adorable?

BIJOUX JEWELLERY

I was lucky enough to win something beautiful jewellery recently. this is very odd because I never win anything!
I got some lovely swarovski crystal, swallow necklace, earring, and bracelet set! 

How super lucky am I? They came so quickly in a cute leopard print envelope, as you all know, I love leopard print so I was already happy. 
They are all so cute. They could easily be worn as a set or perfectly separately. They are so delicate and pretty - perfect for summer. 
I especially like the earrings, they are perfect length. 


Thankyou so much Laura! xx

BIJOUX JEWELLERY

As you all know, I'm a sucker for individual quirky jewellery. Recently on Facebook i discovered this company called BIJOUX JEWELLERY.
it has a range of unique hand made jewellery and every item custom made if you request a certain colour scheme or style. she uses a variety of beads, pearls and semi precious stones. 


im not going to lie, i think she makes beautiful jewellery. 


here are a pick of my favourite items.

handmade jewellery makes it feel so much more special when it arrives because you know someone has taken time to make it for you. 

with all the jewellery under £12, they are a fabulous bargain and investment.

STUDENT WISH LIST

as a poor fashion uni student, i have many wish lists. i can't even afford rent let alone fancy shoes.

even so, here is my latest wish list. 

to start, this dress!!! I'm in love with it -  the drop hem at the back is very flattering for every shape and size. it even fits me and I'm 5"2. the elastic around the waist is flattering and comfy too which is a bonus. a very comfy dress and a must for every girl. 

it can be dressed up or down, a leather jacket and chelsea boots for the day or heels for the night.

it is from BANK FASHION - Rare Cut Out Dip Hem Dress at £45.

this bracelet is gorgeous! i have already bought it in another colour and I'm super tempted to get it this one too! the gold skull is bang on trend and the colour is stunning. 

at £17 from REGAL ROSE, this is a key fashion piece at an amazing price.

shoes!!!! need i say more. these beauties are amazing! i have a thing for leopard print at the moment and these are the ones! wedges are so easy to walk in and the open toes are a great excuse for getting a pedicure. they also look good with tights if your feeling chilly.

JUICY COUTURE

sorry its another jewellery blog, but these have been my favourite brands and i think you should invest in them.


COUTURE - The design and manufacture of fashionable items to a client's specific requirements and measurements.
Juicy couture does exactly that. their jewellery is made to please and it certainly does that.
the items sparkle and so do my eyes.


today I'm showing you my 2 bracelets I've got from JUICY COUTURE. 


this 1st one is a little gem. i found it on ASOS and fell in love with it instantly. i think it was around £60 (reduced obviously) if i had more money i would have invested in the earrings and necklace to match.


i think its an apple on it with sparkles on one half (my favourite bit) sorry the camera doesn't give justice to it, but its super sparkly when it catches the light. 
im not normally one for gold jewellery however i could make an exception for this. it seems to compliment the bold bright colours of the red and green.
the clasp on the side is tight and never un attaches. the box is LUSH!!! it makes it feel so more special with such a gorgeous box. 

 my wrist is small but it still fits on. i just have it over the top on my tops or just with other bracelets. 


the other bracelet is a simple chain. i bought that at Bicester Village. an outlet village you have to visit. its a must. its near oxford. i bought this bracelet for £34. its simple, silver and i wear it everyday. 

My Mulberry (Better picture)

This is my mulberry bracelet on <3

So simple and delicate it goes with anything. 

MULBERRY

Every girl has a love for mulberry. The English traditional style of handbags has become a timeless collection of every woman's wardrobe.

As a poor student, I wish I had the funds to have a Mulberry in my arms. I have a few mulberry gifts from lovely people who clearly know me very well.

(I am secretly hoping for Mulberry over valentines day)

The bayswater is classic. I love the size, the colour, the smell, the durability. I just love it.

I have to have one. £695 isn't that bad??


I have a Mulberry Zip Pouch that i got for my birthday. The first thing i noticed about it was that it is surprisingly big, i use it as a clutch bag the majority of the time and the rest in my day handbag to keep keys and cards in.

From a friend I got a Hot Fuchsia Heart Friendship Bracelet. The heart is 3cm wide and i love the colour.

I love how every Mulberry item is delivered to the heights standard. I love how it came in it own box with the logo on. It just makes it all the more nice to receive as a gift.

Clutch bag - £150
Bracelet -  £60

Sorry the photograph quality isn't too good, its very dark in my room.
