Good Evening everyone!
We are half way through the week now! Yay!
I cannot believe it's going to be Christmas next weekend! It really doesn't seem possible at all. Where has the time gone? The whole Christmas thing & this of year just shattters me. This week I have felt so tired even more than normal. I just want more sleep & getting out of bed in the morning is causing a struggle. Or is it just me who feels like that? I don't actually yet feel Christmassy at all or in a festive mood. It's true what they say it's never the same when you get older thats for sure.
I'm not a huge jewellery wearer.
I wear a few pieces like a watch, stud earrings & a bracelet & necklace every now & then. But I'm not one to wear lots of pieces at the same time. I'm also not a fan of big chunky pieces. I think it's because I am pretty petite, I have the skinniest wrists so I struggle to find bracelets & watches that do actually fit me well. Watches especially! If they have links in them I have to have half of the links removed in order for it to fit my wrist. Which can be frustrating as you can imagine.
Recently I have been loving the knotted theme jewellery. Since I saw a very cute one on Sam Faiers teamed up with her Abbott Lyon watch. It looked so so lovely!
Smaller more delicate pieces of jewellery are always hard to find I believe, so when I find somewhere that does such pieces I tend to go back & purchase from them. Not only that but I love buying from places where the item is hand made because no two pieces are the same which to me makes them unique. Also it means it isn't something that everyone has. It is also lovely knowing you have supported someone with their own small business & dream rather than just someone that mass produces something. It's something I think more people should support!
I come across Handmade Simplicity on Instagram & was immediately drawn to some of their pieces. They are danity, pretty, unique & also handmade & designed which adds such a lovely touch to it.
Lindsay the owner of Handmade simplicity has been in the jewellery industry for nine years & its only been since having her son that she started designing & making her own jewellery line.
The bangle is made of sterling silver & has a knot effect at the top of the bracelet. It is so simple but I think teamed with the right Watch it could look so lovely on the wrist! It's beautiful. I absolutely love it.
Not only that but Handmade simplicity sell a range of products from rings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles. All so unique & as beautiful as each other! They truly would make the best present for Christmas for someone or a birthday present, Mother's Day present or even a little treat for yourself & even better you don't have to worry about everyone having the same as you.
On their website they even give you a ring size guide so if you are unsure of your ring size you can use the page to help you.

Good Evening!
Wow we are Wednesday already! How times flies when you're having fun! This week is going pretty quick I have to say. Half way through the working week already.
I still cannot get over the fact that we are in November already! How have we got to the 11th month? I think I have like blinked & this year has gone. It's actually pretty scary don't you think?
We have like next to no time left till Christmas & I have only just got one present so far. Which is for my nephew because let's face it a two year old is easy to buy for & easily pleased unlike some difficult people.
I think at Christmas time sometimes you can struggle to find like smaller presents of like a lower value. Sometimes you don't want to purchase a big expensive present you might want to buy lots of little ones or like even stocking fillers sometimes things of a lower value are a nightmare to track down. Especially if you want something small & personal. Not your normal beauty products or food items. You want somehow to add your own personal touch to it & one thing I have mentioned to you before was initial items. As you may know I cannot get enough of them! I have a phone case, keyring, bracelet, necklace. I think that is it....
I think initial or personalised items definitely give things that personal & thoughtful touch. Not only the fact because it's made just for them with their name on it but also because it's not something anyone can just buy & pass to someone thought has gone into it.
I have come across a company called Cover-Appeal who have a range of ladies clothing, fashion accessories & gifts. They are a pop up boutique who take their shop to charity, corporate & fashion events & another of numerous events & activities. They even offer a pop up in the comfort of your own home! What could be better a group of your friends & family & browsing through fashion! That's my idea of a perfect evening. They do however also have an Instagram, Facebook page, twitter page & also a website where you can purchase & find out more about their items & purchase.
They do a range of perfect stocking filler ideas & smaller gift items online that I noticed on their Instagram page. Which yes is initial related but they do also do other items such as cute jewellery pieces & things. They also stock a brand called Lola and Gilbert which do some really cute quote make up bags, tote bags & purses which are all stocked on their website.
I found an initial purse which has a gold glitter letter on there. Which is like a denim colour. It is a reasonable size for both money & coins. Or you could use it as small storage bag for jewellery items & things. It has a multi person use I think. I just love how it is your initial of your name of it & you get to choose that. Super cute! The face that is is under £7 too I think is a bargain & just perfect for a cute little stocking filler or part of a present for someone this Christmas. There are others that they do in the range which are not personalised. They have perfect girlie quotes like "better to arrive late than ugly" Perfect idea for anyone you know who loves a funny girly quote
But not only that if it's clothing you are looking for they have some perfect autumnal pieces & other bits! So if you want some great Christmas gift ideas definitely check them out!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Hope you all have a good week, I had a week off work & I have been sick for the whole week of it & still do not feel 100% I cannot seem to shift it at all. I'm hoping it will soon pass because I feel so awful. I hate being poorly!
As you all know from my previous posts I am a total sucker for personalised goods! I got my gorgeous keyring from DS London & a personalised phone case too. I think I just love anything that I can put my name on to be honest. Surely I cannot be the only person who loves abit of personalised things?
I haven't really owned anything personalised jewellery wise. I have had the odd beaded bracelet but that is about it. So for a while now I have been toying with the idea of getting a necklace or bracelet personalised of course! But I kept deciding otherwise until I came across a shop on depop. For those of you or don't know what depop is it's an app where you can join & sell clothes, etc & purchase things...
I came across Di's Gems & loved the personalised items available! I am not a fan of big chunky jewellery because I have the most skinny little wrists & big necklaces tend to not really suit me. So I do tend to shy away from them but these were small & dainty! Just perfect for me!
She did a number of personalised items necklaces & bracelets. They are come in more than one style & both in silver or gold but I'm more of a silver jewellery kind of girl. Apart from costume jewellery I guess you could say. So the fact there was different styles & things were perfect! As it gives people a choice. Where as some places I have seen that have done them have just been one style.
When contacting to order I found it most friendly & welcoming & so helpful! As I have also previously said I love a place with good customer service as it's so important.
I think these items are just perfect for Christmas gift ideas what with that time of year nearly upon us!
Which I find just crazy! For anyone who loves personalised items or you are looking for something else different I definitely recommend checking out Di's Gems. She will be having a website go live soon but in the mean time you can purchase in other ways! Facebook, twitter or Instagram.
I will list the contact details below for them.
I simply love them! The bangle especially teamed up with a nice watch! Perfect arm candy!
