ADEXE Mini Sistine Watch in Rose Gold!

Hey beaut's!

I absolutely love ADEXE watches, I have two watches from them already which have practically lived on my wrist ever since I got them however recently ADEXE have launched their brand new Miniature Sistine collection which got me super excited! This particular  collection is super feminine and dainty because of it's smaller design, its available in multiple colour ways and has a lower price point with prices starting from £79.00. I actually have one of the original ADEXE Sistine watches so I was really intrigued to see how the mini version would compare, plus anything miniature is always a winner in my book!

This time around I opted for the Mini Sistine in Rose Gold with a black face, you can also get this particular watch with a white, rose gold or blue face too! The watch itself  has a hand-made mesh band with an easy adjustable open spring bar so you can get the perfect fit for you, I love this because theres nothing worse than having to get links taken out or punching extra holes in a strap is there! The watch face is made out of  hand-polished stainless steel and is well proportioned despite the mini design, it's also quite lightweight but still robust and well made, and the numbers are clear and easy to read. The watch also comes with a 2-3 year battery life which I think is pretty epic and activates once you take a tiny stopper out of the mechanism which adjusts the time so you get the most battery life out of your watch as possible! All of the ADEXE watches come with a set of extra straps in black or brown too which I think is such a nice added bonus and makes the watch more versatile!

Overall I'm so in love with my new ADEXE beauty! The watch not only looks stunning, it feels so well made and luxurious, it's comfortable, and more importantly it keeps me on time for work (lol), it also looks super cute in the background of Instagram pictures - oh it's all about the gram isn't it beaut's he he. I'd also really recommend this collection if you have smaller wrists like me and find bigger watch faces tend to take over your wrist, this watch is really dainty and really suits my smaller wrists if that makes sense, I love it!

Statement Made Jewellery Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

Are you a jewellery loving gal like myself, personally I love delicate jewellery, whether it's a necklace, bracelet or even a ring I find it adds such a soft touch to any outfit or look without being too in your face doesn't it- and if your a lover of pretty, delicate jewellery too then I think your going to love Statement Made Jewellery!

Statement Made Jewellery focus on individuality and personalisation and offer a large range of handmade jewellery such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets and anklets in gold, silver and rose gold finishes. Each piece of jewellery can be personalised by either being engraved, featuring your initial and your birthstone which I think is lovely, especially if your gifting someone a piece of jewellery as it shows you've gone the extra mile.

The necklace I have is the Angel Wings - Guardian Angel Pendant* in silver featuring my August birthstone (£19.95) and I love it, it's delicate yet sturdy meaning I'm not going to be terrified that it's going to fall off and the clasp is very secure. The jewellery also comes beautifully packaged - my necklace was in a little cream - velvet feel - pouch tied up with a pink bow which I thought was so cute and it was complete with a certificate of authenticity and care instructions which is always appreciated!

If your looking for some personalised jewellery to gift someone I cant recommend Statement Made Jewellery enough, the quality is lovely, the packaging is so sweet, the jewellery itself is beautiful and the fact you can add those personal touches has to be my favourite thing.

March Fashion & Beauty Wishlist!

Hey beaut's!

It's March which can only mean one thing...it's wishlist time again, and this month I'm switching things up by having a couple of clothing pieces on my wishlist, this makes a change for me because usually it's a mountain of makeup products that I'm lusting after! 

I'm LOVING the leopard print trend still and the midi skirt from New Look is high up on my must buy list along with the fabulous t-shirt which is also from New Look which I thought would look quite nice tucked into the skirt! I've also got to have those leopard print sandals from Topshop ready for the warmer days, I absolutely love them!

Makeup wise I really want to try the Elf  Poreless Putty Primer, unfortunately they don't seem to have it in my Superdrug yet as I've already been on the hunt for it so hopefully they will have it in stock soon! I also really want to try the Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette, I collect Urban Decay palettes so I need to add this one to my collection pronto! I also cant wait for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Liquid Liner to launch, if you know me then you know I don't leave the house without my trademark winged liner on so this launch has got me very excited! 

Whats on your beauty wishlist at the moment beaut's?

The Happiness Boutique website literally has everything from bracelets, earrings, rings, chokers and necklaces in either rose gold, gold or silver so theres certainly something to suit everyone, I kind of wish I had my ears pierced because they had some gorgeous pom pom style earrings which screamed 'Clueless'  to me and I would of snapped them up right away he he. 

The first item I decided to go for was their Moon and Star Necklace in Rose Gold* (£17.67), isn't this absolutely stunning, it was literally love at first sight! I just love how simplistic and delicate this necklace is, it goes with everything whether I'm dressing up for an evening out or just having a casual jeans and tee day and its in no way loud or in your face.

Ted Baker Rose Gold Eida Enamel Double Button Cuff

Hey beaut's!

I can never resist a bit of rose gold so when I saw this gorgeous Ted Baker Eida Enamel Double Button Cuff on WatchShop.com I had love hearts in my eyes. I mean just look how pretty it is, arhhh I love it so much!

The Ted Baker Eida Enamel Cuff* (£39.00) has a gorgeous rose gold plated finish and a striking double button cuff design, the button cuffs have baby pink accents which go beautifully with the rose gold and its finished off with Ted Baker’s signature branding. The bracelet itself is super comfortable to wear and slides on and off my wrist via the button cuffs, I was worried about it not being super secure because it is a cuffed bracelet but actually it fits me perfectly and is super secure on me.

Overall I'm in absolute love with this bracelet, it literally hasn't left my wrist since I got it. It's super versatile and goes with everything day or night, its delicate and girly and it would make the perfect gift too, it even comes in a little velvet Ted Baker pouch and box!

My Most Worn Shoes This Spring...So Far!

Hey beaut's!

Check me out doing another fashion related blog post, I put a footwear post up in March (here) and now I thought I'd do another one featuring two of my favourite pairs of shoes at the moment that basically haven't left my feet so far this Spring!

Of course I joined the Old Skool Vans club, well it would of been rude not too wouldn't it he he. I actually really needed a new pair of Vans, my white ones are pretty much dead and this old skool style was too nice to resist, they basically go with anything from skinny jeans, casual dresses and even casual skirts and shorts when it's warmer. My favourite way to wear these at the moment is actually to fold up my skinny jeans exposing quite a bit of ankle then whacking on a pair of little frilly ankle socks, they look super, super cute!

The other pair of shoes or should I say sandals I've been obsessed with wearing recently are these little gold beauties from Primark, they cost me a tiny £6.00 and honestly they are the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever owned. The gold cross-over detail across the top of my foot is actually thick elastic so they move/bend with my foot and the fit of them is bang on for my little size 3 feet. I honestly cant recommend these enough, they've been perfect for the humid weather we've had in the UK this past week and they go with everything, oddly I always find that with gold sandals, they just match well with everything I wear.

What are your favourite shoes to wear at the moment beaut's? Are you rocking some Old Skool Van's? I'd love to know!

Embroidery 3 Ways With EGO Footwear

Hey beaut's!

The embroidery trend is huge right now and I for one am happy about that, theres nothing I love more than a floral, embroidered print and if your keen on being bang on trend this Spring/Summer then having some embroidery shoes in your wardrobe will be a super easy way to incorporate the trend into any outfit. Anywhoooo... Today I have three gorgeous pairs of shoes from EGO that fit perfectly in with the embroidery trend, I had no idea what to expect from EGO seeing as these are the first pairs of shoes I have from them but I'm so impressed, their so comfy, well made, reasonably priced and they really keep up with the trends too, and they even have some stunning Gucci Floral Mule dupes.

Harlow Floral Embroidered Lace Up Trainers In White Faux Leather £25.00

Lets kick things off with these gorgeous trainers, these are going to be such a staple for me during this Spring/Summer, their so easy to just throw on with jeans but can even be worn with shorts and little casual dresses when it warmer too. The pretty embroidery detail wraps around the side of each trainer which gives them such a cute, girlie feel despite being trainers, arhhh I love them so much. You can find more colour variations of these in the flat range from EGO here. 

Lala Pink Floral Print Ankle Boot In Faux Suede £34.99

Next up are the prettiest boots I think I've ever laid my eyes on. Now these beauties are totally out of my comfort zone, the boots actual shape and heel size is something I'd normally wear but I've never braved something so pattern heavy but these are stunning, their made up of a two tone floral embroidery pattern across the entire boot and heel with a faux black suede base. What I love about these boots is that their so versatile, they can easily dress up a casual outfit, add a pop of colour to a plain outfit and their also perfect for a night out. As well as being super pretty these boots are super comfy too, the 3 and half in heal is easy to walk in and my feet felt well supported too, I'm going to get so much wear out of these this Spring!

Taya Blue Floral Platform Heel In Black Faux Suede £34.99

Finally are these show stopping platforms, if your looking for that one pair of night out heels for the Spring/Summer then these bad boys have to be in your wardrobe. They might look simple from the front but the heel is where the parties at, just look at that blue embroidery design, arhhh its so pretty! Admittedly these heels are higher than I'm used to and the single strap around the ankle doesn't add a huge amount of support but if your used to heels then these will be a breeze for you to walk in I'm sure.

Have you ever bought any shoes from EGO before? Which pair are your favourite? I'd love to know beaut's!

Jord Cora Wood Watch in Koa & Rose Gold Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Today I have a really exciting post for you all featuring a very unique and beautiful looking watch made by a company called Jord. Jord are a US brand that don't just make any old watches but instead they make ladies and men's wood watches, yup that right, all of their watches are made from natural and sustainably sourced wood from around the world, pretty amazing right. I 'd honestly never seen a wooden watch before and when browsing the Jord website I was blown away with their stunning collection of watches and quickly feel in love. Theres so many designs, woods and colours to choose from on the Jord website but I opted for the Jord Cora Series in Koa & Rose Gold* ($275/£177), I can never resist anything with a hint of Rose Gold, it's just so beautiful. 

When my watch arrived it was beautifully packaged in an amazing, well made, pale wooden box with a sliding lid, the watch was then nestled inside the box over a little tweed jewellery pillow which just looked adorable and would work so well if your buying the watch as a gift. The Jord Cora watch is available in 5 different series/colour designs, as I said before I opted for the Koa & Rose Gold design which I adore, I think the dark Koa wood is so beautiful against the metallic rose gold watch face and although it's a wood watch it still looks super feminine and delicate and is relatively lightweight too. The watch face also has square swarovski crystal markers, sapphire crystal glass which is scratch proof and you can see the mechanical watch movement from the watch face as well as at the back of the watch, all of which I think is such a beautiful touch, and when the sun catches the crystals it really twinkles and looks super pretty.

 The Cora model is currently Jord's only automatic mechanical watch model for women so it requires no batteries at all. The automatic mechanical watch needs to be worn a minimum of 8 hours a day, as the motion of your hands and arms keep the movement running and keeps your watch wound up, this does mean if you don’t wear the watch for a few days it will need to be wound again but I personally I think it's genius and saves the trouble of getting new batteries often.

With Jord being based in the US it's good to know they ship internationally, and they aim to ship orders within 1-3 days via tracked USPS shipping, I actually kept tracking my watch which I found really quite fun. One of the many things that really blew me away about Jord is when ordering your watch you have the ability to have the watch re-sized for a $10 fee, I think that is so good, I have quite small wrists and every watch I've ever owned has always been too big for me, so the fact you can have this done before you watch even arrives it pretty impressive. The extra links that were taken out were included in the wooden box and
the deployment buckle with push button at the back is  easy to open and close and is made from stainless steel. 

Overall I'm so happy with my Jord wood watch, If you are in the market for a new watch, then definitely check out Jord watches. As you can see, they are absolutely gorgeous and uniquely beautiful. There's a style for everyone and their watches start at $120 which is really good for such well made watches.
