Bangle Bargains

A little while ago Marie Claire offered a set of brass bangles by fair trade jewellery company Made as their free cover gift. I got a set with my copy and I have to say I love them - I have pretty chunky knuckles and a lot of high street bangles just don't fit me - at the time I debated whether to buy more copies of the magazine for more bangles but I thought better of it.

Before my little tumble though I'd been wearing my set quite a lot so I thought I'd have a little look for some more. The retail price of £15 was a bit too much so I had a look on ebay and managed to pick up 3 sets for less than a tenner :) Two of the sets are pictured here but I think I'll be wearing the four sets together for a nice layered look :)

Birthday Goodies

Eek as you may know it was my birthday yesterday - eek I officially in my 30's now, not just plain old 30 :( Anyways I got some lovely pressies, so I thought I'd show you some of the best :)

From my mum I got some lovely bits including this gorgeous brass Daisy necklace by Peaches Geldof for Made

Some Marc Jacobs Daisy Blooms perfume which came with the cute stickers (which I have already used ;) ) and a free tote bag :)

A gorgeous OPI gift set :)

This super cute make up palette in luscious greens from By Lauren Luke - Lauren is popular you tube make up guru Panacea81, and she has just launched her own collection. This gorgeous palette contains everything you need to create a full look - eyeshadow, cream liner, blush, lipsticks and eye primer / concealer - the colours are gorgeous and so fresh and spring like -I am especially loving the blush and lip shades


I also got some other fashion and beauty bits including some nude ballet pumps from Primark, a gorgeous crystal anchor t-shirt from Zara and a Body Shop Shimmering Plum gift set (so, so happy about this - why do they always discontinue things I love) :)
