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!

New Years Resolution- With a Twist!

News flash, I have a New Years resolution for the first time in about six years! I'd love to thank a newly motivated version of my laze arse self, but that would be lying. Praise goes to the beautifully witty Ebony over at ELN Fashion, and her fab New Years idea.

Rather than grind your already deflated January self (or possibly inflated depending how much Christmas grub you enjoyed like me) through more mental turmoil by banning yourself from things you enjoy, or promising to do more stuff you hate. Why not consciously praise yourself for 5-10 things you really like about yourself. Other than that, the rules are up to you, except we want to hear about them!

I'll be struggling for ten, but here goes...

1. I'm tall, I always have been, and I presume I always will be, so I'm going to embrace it! I'm going to buy more heels- and wear them. I'll stand tall and not slouch like a grumpy teen, because I know lots of people who'd like to be able to reach the biscuits in the top cupboard without a Yellow Pages or two.

2. I have curves, and I have many a lumpy bit. I get chub rolls and I sometimes wear Bridget Jones knickers. But in the same breath I love food, like really love it. So, I'm going to strive to be as happy with my lumpy bits as I am with a bacon and egg roll.

3. You know the friend in films who's sometimes a bit inappropriate, a bit loud and opinionated. I think that may be me. But the thing is, I don't set out to be like that, it just kind of happens that if I have an opinion then I'll probably share it. If people don't like that, I am genuinely sorry, but it's just me, and I'm happy with me.

4. If I'm having a good hair/make-up day, then I'm going to celebrate it. It's not everyday it happens, so why play it down. We all appreciate people have off-days when they just feel Urghh, well I'm proposing on-days, where you feel a million dollars an that's okay!

5. My eyes. I like them. I haven't quite put my finger on why yet, but I just do. Granted, only with make up, but they're really not that bad. I shall flash and flutter them all year long in appreciation.

6. Will be to think of another five positives throughout the year. Everything in life is better when your happy, so let's strive for that rather than the un-obtainable!

So there we have it. My 5 (6) New Years resolutions for a more positive and happy year. If you fancy joining in, please tweet Ebony @ebzo or myself  @breadandbeautyx Or leave a comment below.

Puppies!

I realise this is off topic, but quite frankly I don't care because it's worth it as your about to find out...

So today I was going to go a post about the giveaway when I reach 25 follows on Bloglovin. You know, tell you all about the fab goodies that one of you lucky lot will receive. However as I lay in bed pondering where to start, I had a phone call from my middle sister who was quite adamant I "COME ROUND RIGHT NOW, YOU'LL LOVE THIS". I wasn't quite so enthusiastic from under my duvet, with major bags and bed hair, hence saying no (so I'm a bit stubborn, meh?!) But then after a quick oggle at Facebook something caught my eye...

That's right, you've guessed it. Five beautiful, fluffy little puppies were currently snuggled down on my quite heavily pregnant sister and I couldn't resist. A swipe of the trusty Regulars (see previous post) hair in a bobble and yesterday's clothes on I bounded to my sisters and this is what greeted me

Awww, what a cute little fella! He doesn't have a name, he's just puppy, but he's one of the cutest little things I ever did see.

I think this is the same one, but there are 5 all together (eeek!) and 2 are identical.

We had a major snuggle, he fell asleep on my belly for a while, woke up and then wee'd on me. Guess what, I still want one!

The giveaway will be up soon, but until then please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.
