Dew Silver Necklace from House of Fraser

I'd never really considered going into House of Fraser for jewellery until I was asked if I would like to review a piece from their vast collection. After browsing the site I was surprised at the number of different types of jewellery they had on offer. They have huge statement pieces, dainty silver necklaces, pretty bangles adorned with pendants and much more. It is worth a look to see if anything is to your taste, as with their selection there is sure to be.

It was hard for me to decide between a large statement piece or something silver that I could wear all the time. In the end, I fell in love with this delicate Dew Mini Silver and Stone Heart necklace*. I thought it would be quite big but when it arrived it was so cute and small I instantly adored it!

When I've got this necklace on I almost don't realise I do it is so light and comfortable to wear. The chain has small little links and it is just the right size as it sits perfectly, not too high and not too low. The pendant of this necklace is fixed to the chain with a slight upward curve and allows no movement around the necklace. I've never had a necklace like this that doesn't have a free pendant which makes this a great addition to my jewellery box.

I love necklaces like this with a little sparkle that can be worn throughout the day and into the night. It works so well dressed down or dressed up that I can safely say I will be wearing this quite a bit... I've got it on right now!

House of Fraser sells a selection of Dew jewellery which includes necklaces, earrings and bracelets that are all extremely elegant. I'd definitely make sure if you are looking for a new piece of jewellery that you have a browse on House of Fraser to see if anything catches your eye.

Plewsy Studio Open Day

Following my review of Plewsy greetings cards a few weeks ago, I was invited to an open day that Fiona held to launch her new collection of products. This was held at her gorgeous house in Northallerton proving to be quite the drive through the countryside. I picked up Louise and off we went to see her new designs.

I absolutely love Fiona's designs, she is amazing at using inks to produce the cutest of characters. She had a wall full of different cards she had designed for occasions such as Christmas, the birth of a new baby and birthdays. I wanted to pick them all but settled for the two in the above picture - the fox saying "let's party!" and the print "in a while crocodile". Me and my boyfriend are planning to have a photo wall going up the stairs in our house and I thought these two would look perfect framed!

Fiona also has a line of bespoke wedding stationery that involves loosely illustrating portraits of the bride and groom to invite people to their special day. It all looks absolutely adorable and I'd love this if I was getting married!

There are also some enlarged prints on sale of some of the smaller illustrations as well as something unique created for the Tour de France.

If you are in need of a card that is a little bit unique I'd definitely recommend Plewsy. She is so passionate about what she does and everything she produces is of such high quality. Visit her Etsy page to purchase her cards and prints.

Picture Polish - Aurora Swatches and Review

In my most recent Rainbow Connection order I decided it was finally time that I owned a Picture Polish nail polish. Everyone raves about Aurora so I popped this in my basket to see what all the fuss was about. If you haven't heard of Picture Polish, they are an Australian boutique nail polish brand who often do collaborations with bloggers. They have a selection of colours and types of nail polish including this gorgeous shimmering polish.

Well, Aurora certainly lived up to its hype! Two coats over OPI's Lady in Black produced the most gorgeous nail polish colour. As you move your hands through different light the colour of this polish switches from emerald green to a gorgeous shimmery purple. It is almost like the colours you'd find in a pool of petrol or oil changing as you look at it from different angles.

I'm so impressed with how the polish goes on with just the right consistency and with Seche Vite, it stayed on for almost a full week with no chipping. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of picking up a Picture Polish.
