It's the little things...

This post is in aid to my despair when, yesterday, I went in search of the Mulberry Heart friendship bracelet, featured in a couple posts previous, only to find that it is no longer available! 


I'm sure you can still get hold of it somewhere, but it's not exactly the same if you can't see it on the site. I'm gutted...but naturally there are plenty of other little wonders I want to collect and I thought I'd share just these three...

First, is this simple 22k rose gold coated skull bracelet by newly graduated designer, Leila Kashanipour of  LeiVanKash (£90). Don't be surprised if you haven't heard about her yet, but keep your eyes peeled as she is quickly grounding herself as an extremely talented and unique jewellery artist. I have become fond of quite a few of her pieces, so will be following her developing career with some interest.

The Blonde Salad has already featured the skull bracelet. If you look closely enough, you'll also notice she is wearing the 'Peace' Mulberry friendship bracelet too! 

Next up is this delicate creation by Redline. The Pure Bracelet comes in two colours and boasts a single white 0.05ct diamond set in 18ct gold: the pink string symbolises fantasy, whilst the orange symbolises energy. At a pricey £349 each, I am attracted by its simplicity and subtle nature.

Finally, an 18ct gold Hamsa charm bracelet by New York-based brand, Halleh's (£425). The talisman charm is from Persian culture and is a symbol of good luck. I find the notion behind this charm very interesting so I would not only wear this bracelet as a delicate addition, but also for the meaning and symbolic reference.

Street Spotted: Designer - Hildur Yeoman

While out-and-about in London doing a spot of street-style hunting, I happened to bump into Hildur Yeoman, fashion designer and illustrator.

It was her quirky style that made me stop her, though namely her array of electric blue crochet and beaded necklaces. It was only after a little small-talk I realised the woman I stopped was the actual designer of these necklaces, and was in London sorting business with a couple new suppliers of her most recent collection. I have to admit, I had never heard of her before this meeting, but having come home and done my research into her work - she is one extremely talented lady!

...Also loving the fact that she had been shopping at Rockit, Covent Garden - one of my top picks of London vintage stores.

Hildur has decided to do one collection of accessories a year, with her most recent one featuring crochet swans, beads and - from her previous collection - crochet poodles!

Most recently, Hildur collaborated with fashion photographer Saga Sigurðardóttir. Her styling and illustrations were merged with Sigurðardóttir's photography to create a magical world inspired by greek mythology and russian fairy tales. The end results are gorgeous and are an innovative merge of two separate artistic talents - wouldn't mind a print myself! Below are just a few examples.

Armour Ring & Damson Jam

Autumn is my favourite month. Out come warm palettes of berry reds, velvety greens and rich caramels mimicking the turning of the leaves. Damson Jam by Collection 2000 is the perfect colour for nails this season. I've bagged mine already!

Referring back to a few style shots from London Fashion Week, I've noticed that amour rings are becoming a bold trend of the moment. Moulded to fit perfectly around the bends of the finger, these statement rings mimic medieval body armour with flexible overlapping metallic plates. Not exactly your most delicate of options, but certainly one which would bring out your inner rebellious nature.

The amour ring featured in these photos is from ASOS for only £10 (shown above) but of course those with a more indulgent nature may go for this Vivienne Westwood creation (below) RRP £170.
