My favourite of all...

Hmmm, things I love the most... well of all the things I have ever owned this ring is my most super favourite item.


I spent a rather inappropriately long time stalking it in the window of the local second hand jewellers, nearly having heart attacks a couple of times when the window display was rearranged and I thought it had gone... I couldn't take that risk for much longer so I took my intended into the shop and explained there was no need to get engaged or married any time soon but if I missed out on that ring I would always be a bit sad with whatever replacement we found. Fortunately he did agree to buy it for me!

About 2 years later, having given up all hope that I'd ever get to wear it, or even see it again, I got it (and the engagement that accompanies it!) for my 30th birthday this year, finally I have something I love which isn't made of plastic!

Button Babies!

Well, I never have denied that I love a bit of nepotism, but hey, this blog is all about 'things I love the most' and within that category how could I not include my Mum?!

As well as BEING one of such 'things', everything she creates also falls into the same category too!

The latest offering from Nanoo's Boutique are these lovely 'Button Babies' - they're a little bit teddy bear, little bit doll, quite a big pinch of robot and lots of snuggly goodness thrown in for good measure! Basically they are the latest obsession to spring from the end of my Mumma's crochet hook, and I really love them! She is also veering, as we speak, into the world of beatifully square-edged button-eyed animal friends too....

Inflatable Chesterfield?

What more can I say, really, ingenious!!! Made by Blofield

Anthropologie Envy

New gorgeous discoveries for this (slightly gloomy) bank holiday... I've had the Anthropologie website bookmarked for ages to big up their jewellery designs, and finally just remembered today! Their necklaces are really lovely, got a real handmade feel to them I think. They're cheering me up a bit anyway, what with the rain and the massive hangover and the rubbish day it has been (buying and immediately returning another laptop, then buying another one... third time lucky?!).

Shopaholic perhaps?

Remember the incredible Dior stuff I last lusted over? Well they aren't exactly the same but hey, they were only 3 quid, for a pair of hairclips, and they're definitely of the same feel! I can justify my shopaholic tendencies... I buy cheap and often, and my Mum dragged me to the shops! Good old New Look!

More sexy jewellery goodness!

Um, still trying really hard to save money, so I'm a bit like a greedy dieter eyeing up squishy cakes through the baker's window at the moment... except my sin is in the form of shiny jewels! For goodness sake though, will Vivienne Westwood EVER stop being cool and designing things I love? She surely is the devil in disguise with all her wicked temptation!

And acrylic is the new black daaaaahlings!
