The Bohemian Collective

I was first introduced to The Bohemian Collective after attending an Ax Paris Blogger event earlier this year, which you can read about here. In the amazing goodie bag from the night was the Sterling Silver Wish Bone Knuckle Ring! I instantly fell in love with it, as I'd seen knuckle rings on the internet, but never came across one to buy. Usually if I can, I prefer to try on rings as my fingers are really small, meaning most small sizes in places like Topshop are just too big! So I was greatly surprised that it did fit me!

I recently won their monthly instagram competition, a £20 voucher! (I never win anything, I was so happy!) All you have to do is hashtag #thebohemiancollective on a picture of your Bohemian Collective jewellery on instagram or twitter to be entered. I ordered the beautiful Sterling Silver Oval Turquoise Ring, and that weekend they also had an offer, each order received a free knuckle ring! Was a lovely surprise to receive the Rose Gold Wish Bone Knuckle Ring, I'm slowly building a collection of rose gold <3

What I love about The Bohemian Collective especially, is their beautiful range of sterling silver, solid gold and solid rose gold jewellery. They aren't plated so you don't have to worry about your fingers eventually going green or the hassle of applying clear nail varnish to the band to prevent that happening. 

Also following them via instagram I can see that many items are handmade in their workshop, where they are always coming up with new designs. I'm always one to support companies from the UK, especially when things are handmade for their customers. It's nice to spend that bit more to get a unique non mass produced item which will last you <3

I think this is my first outfit post without my extensions in! I'm finally getting happy with my hair length again, been growing out my pixie crop cut for the past year and a half!

Love these cute paisley shorts from Motel Rocks! I almost picked a dress in this print but I thought I would get more wear of these. I have so many pretty dresses which I haven't had the chance to wear! I thought I would rock it up a little with a leather jacket, a few people I have seen wear these opted for a more girly look, it's nice to be a little different ^_^

Baia - Little black bag

 

I've been in need of a mini shoulder bag for some time as my last one from Mango has completely fallen apart! I guess that's what happens when you buy mass produced items which aren't leather!

This beauty on the other hand, is handmade right here in Britain with locally scored materials. What was even more amazing was I was able to choose the colour and material of the main bag, add a highlight colour if I wanted and choose the lining. Now I'm highly fussy with bags, to custom pick how it looked was so handy! But if you are too spoilt for choice you can choose from their ready to buy section, if you liked the look of mine, mines the mini in black leather with a powder blue lining.

All hardware is brass, so it will not tarnish (unlike my previous bag..) and the strap is adjustable so you can choose how you want it to sit. It's concealed magnetic closure is in keeping with it's classic timeless design.

I'm so thrilled with my bag, I grabbed my camera as soon as this parcel arrived! And what a lovely surprise to have my name inside!

A big thank you to Susy from Baia!

Call me a crazy cat lady if you wish, but now cute are these kitty collar tips! I'm a massive fan of shirts and I have a section of collar tips already, but nothing as cute as these! I've been loving my new cat tapestry litas, so glad I opted up a size to my usual as these are so comfortable! No more pinched toes! I'm trying to be more careful with wearing shoes that fit properly, I don't want to ruin my feet!

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend! I'm currently ill and feeling sorry for myself ^_^ if you follow me on instagram you would have already seen this outfit and know I didn't take this today haha.

I decided to take some pictures inside today as this gorgeous mint playsuit arrived from Lashes of London! It wasn't quite the weather to be prancing outside like this, so I remained indoors. Unfortunately my house is teeny tiny and I couldn't get a full length shot of me without getting some serious unflattering distortion from my lens! So instead I have included some iphone selfies to solve this :)

I just love the look of this playsuit, it has a pin up feel about it and looks like it's a two piece! But it's joined at the front with two cute gold heart shapes and at the back it's joined. There's also a dark (I think it's black) version online too which could be easier to wear for some people :)

Looking forward to wearing this all summer!

Kitty shoes and tights

Crop top and skirt / American Apparel
Tights c/o / Pamela Mann
Shoes / Boohoo
Necklace / Topshop

How amazing are these cat tights! They had another version where on the back of the knee there was a silhouette of the back of a cat and its tail. I decided to go with this version though as I thought it was a little bit more wearable. As soon as I saw them I knew I would have to wear them with my cat wedges! I'm so going to be a crazy cat lady when I'm older I think!

I've started filming a lookbook of items I've bought through April. It was requested on my youtube channel for me to do this, and I've wanted to film more outfits on me, so thought that would be a great idea! So far I have filmed a third of the total items, so I am getting there, just letting you guys know that I have started, but it might be awhile until it's up due to the weather, as I film outside :)

Motel Rocks Press Day Blogger After Party!

On Wednesday I travelled down to London for the Motel Rocks blogger party!

These were my travel essentials, forever being unorganised and having to paint my nails on the train! Those cards are my photography business cards, (there's a different picture on each one, got to collect them all ^_^) I decided to pen my blog url on them, which was handy so I could tell people about this blog :)

Met up again with my new blogger friend Amy Valentine who I went to the Missguided blogger event with a couple of weeks ago, which you can read about here. We also met up with Hannah who guided us to the Motel showroom with a little help of good old google maps again ^_^

Upon arriving we were greeted with lots of sweets and sushi and offered slush puppies, I being greedy of course asked for a slush puppy with a mix of both flavours!



I absolutely loved the 90's theme of the event! Part of the showroom was transformed into a bedroom from that era, complete with inflatable chairs, lava lamps, polly pockets, boy bands and girl group posters on the walls, and of course there was Friends playing on a tv! They really went all out! There was also a board game called "Dream Phone", is it just me though who's never heard of that?! Perhaps it is because I was born just in the 80's??

I NEED the black and white vertical stripe crop top, I swear crop tops are all I'm going to wear this summer! I have been wearing a lot of monochrome since last autumn, I think it's something I can easily continue through this year.

There was a mix of current collections, a preview of things to come soon and also a sneak peak for their A/W. It was exciting to get to see it now, as later this year I shall be photographing some of the items for work, for those of you who don't know, I'm the photographer for Loveclothing.com :)

The collections showcased different themes, monochrome prints, luxurious and embellished party dresses, rich plum and turquoise swirling paisley prints, and not forgetting tie dye, clashing prints, religious symbols and of course a a dress with a pegasus on! <3

Loved their new collection of swim wear, really pretty bikinis and swim suits, you could easily wear the bodies much like black milk clothing ones in the day with shorts or a skirt, jeans etc!

I also loved their denim dungarees, I haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet as I'm worried I will look about 12 in them, but theirs are so lovely and SIMPLE! I hate it when people shove pockets and things on the front of an item and ruin it!

Around the showroom there were different things you could try, including temporary spray in hair colour by Colour Xtreme, glitter and temporary tattoos by Skin Art, and some beautiful henna by a lovely lady callled Madina. 

I went for getting some henna, which I absolutely love! I haven't had henna done since I was 7, so I was excited to finally get to do it again!

I was snapped by Selina mid process for Motel Rocks Instagram! I am such an instagram addict, so this got me very excited!

Here's another instagram image from Motel Rocks of myself and Lucia, I loved her whole outfit, her hair and head chain looked amazing! I look a bit odd here though!

This was my amazing goodie bag from the event, I cannot wait to try out these products, I've especially wanted to try the Palmers coco butter for awhile now!

A massive thank you to Selina and the rest of the team for organising such a fantastic event!
