Tired of untying necklace chains?

I've been on the look out for a new way to store my jewellery for a long while now. Lots of my necklaces, bracelets and earrings are cheap, but huge or have long chains or chunky plastic parts, so often they look silly on those delicate jewellery holders and don't fit too well into jewellery boxes, unless I wanted a giant one to take up lots of floor space, which I certainly don't!Last Christmas, I got this pretty little bow holder from Fenwicks. (a department store)

But even this poor ol' thing is looking weighed down, and that's just a little portion of my jewellery, the rest is in various carrier bags in drawers that get forgotten about and never see the light of day!

With this dilemma in mind, you can only imagine how my heart skipped a beat when I saw what all this time I had been looking for!
A jewellery display piece and organiser that goes up on the wall!

This one is advertised as perfect for displaying jewellery at art shows and exhibitions! They clearly don't know that one girls bedroom has enough clothes, jewellery and cosmetics to fill a whole store sometimes!

They come in all kinds of colours! Not just plain white or teal, you can get them in blues and purples, or if your nifty with a spray can or paintbrush, you could even re paint it yourself! I think a hot pink jewellery wall piece could be just the thing to work as something interesting visually and so super practical!

There are tons of variations of the same sort of thing, so head onto to www.etsy.com to browse around for one in your price bracket, your size and one that delivers to your country. Type in Jewellerry display or jewellery wall organiser and something along these lines will pop up.

I like how this one has two hooks in some boxes, to hold those super special pairs of dangly earrings.

I sure hope your heart got excited at mine did at the prospect of something being so practical with the ability to look so decorative, jewellery decorates us after all, why not let it decorate our walls too when we're not using it!?



The stylish alternative to a Kindle...

A read it on-the-go gold cuff!
I'm just kidding of course, but these really are super stylish and fun

I came across this baby at
 http://www.etsy.com/listing/62366640/wuthering-heights-book-emily-brontes

My heart nearly skipped a beat!
I've never seen something so beautiful and unusual and sophisticated and classic and timeless all in once piece! It contains the quote from Wuthering heights scribed on in red swishy writing "Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same"
It's so cute!

Although reading Wuthering Heights in school sure was no fun to me, It's pieces like this that help keep classics like that going on and on forever for generation after generation to read.
The people behind this company have all kinds of interesting designs, they have cuffs printed with music notes if your more of a musical kind of person, or roses, or alice in wonderland illustrations.
So many! Plus I love that it's free shipping all over the world!

This one is my other favourite and it reads "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you" from Pride and Prejudice

I can't decide on my favourite! Until I know what one I definately love the most I can't buy as I don't want to do an 'impulse buy' especially as it's £25 a pop

Let me know your favourite piece from the whole collection, here's their storefront:

I can't fit a carousel in my bedroom!

When decorating a room, I love to white wash the walls, the ceiling and to have bare floorboars, so that it feels like a truly blank canvas where you can dash colour all over the walls, the furniture every which way with throws, pictures, cushions, curtains and linen. Because then you can remove it all so easily, and you have a beautiful fresh canvas to start with all over again. Perhaps in summer I might prefer candy pink bedsheets and my picture of silk ballet shoes, and in winter I use my ruby red linen instead and hang a poster of the London skyline.

One picture that would look stunning in my summer colour scheme if I chose it to be that, is this:


I adore carousels, they evoke so many sensory reactions, the scent of spinning candy floss sugar, the charming but sometimes haunting 'chime' of the music they play, the old fashioned gold horses each with their own name.

We have a fair that stops by twice a year and the carousel has returned time and time again since before I was even old enough to go on.

This picture was taken in the North of France, but I'm trying to justify why I should treat myself!?
