Happy New Year Everybody!

I'm still in bed. I've made lunch and had a shower, but still in bed! Maybe not the freshest start to 2014 however I don't really feel all that fresh.

I hope you all had a great night last night (I'd love to hear what you did as the clock struck 12)? I certainly did, drinks flowed and the glad rags were donned, and in doing so I ticked of 2 of my New Years Resolutions (which you can read here!)

Firstly I wore heels, my beautiful black suede Moda In Pelle ankle boots. And secondly I loved my outfit and make-up so I took a ton of pictures before heading out, in appreciation of having an "on-day"!

My make up by the way, was my first use of the gorgeous Benefit Primping With The Stars kit that my awesome boyfriend got me for Christmas. I must say it is fantastic, and the little tips and tricks it comes with are fab! I'll do a post on it in the future, but I'm definately hooked already!

I didn't realise though until this morning that my full length pictures were ALL blurry. Typical! So for now you'll have to make do with my top half, and trust that I wore a black quilted leather A-line mini and the boots I mentioned above.

I really hope that 2014 is a happy and healthy year for all of you, and that at least one of your wishes comes true. I'm also looking forward to keeping the posts coming, and can't wait to find some of your lovely blogs to get stuck into. Please leave links in the comments and I'll definitely have a look!

Happy New Year

Studio__88 Parcel

What a wonderful morning.

I was awoken with a coffee and a parcel by my lovely boyfriend. It doesn't really get much better than that in my books, except maybe if there was bacon involved too.

You've probably guessed what the parcel was. My lovely delivery from http://studio88store.bigcartel.com/

I ordered the gorgeous white Geode ring on Friday (details in a previous post) and it came already! If that's not good service then I don't know what is.

Not only is the ring just up my street, but it's bigger than I expected which is always a good thing, and actually more sparkly too! It's such a statement piece that I'll probably wear it on a chain too, as a necklace. Dramatic!

I knew that the lovely people at Studio_88 were sending me a lucky dip item too, but I was chuffed to open it and see that there were actually FOUR extra items. 

The bow ring, and the earrings are really cute, maybe a little daintier than I normally go for, but there's a lot to be said for understated accessories as I'm starting to learn. My boyfriend loves a bow (bless him) so I'm sure it'll get plenty of outings. 

I was hoping to wear the bracelet as an anklet- I used to think I was quite the surfer girl in my early teens, Roxy boardshorts and all, despite being petrified of the sea- but that was a no-go with these badass ankles. So I've decided I like the hippy vibe, and will rock it as an everyday bracelet, promoting peace and love...

The final item was instantly destined to be given to my boyfriends sister. The silver Peace chain is so her! She has a quirky dress sense and I'm sure she owns some peace sign leggings, so she'll be thrilled with it.

Thank you Studio__88, I'm one happy girl!
