Tinkalink Case

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well & having a good week. I have gone back to work this feet after my foot injury. It is feeling a lot better I have to say. It's not 100% back to normal but getting there.

I am a huge lover of anything personalised! Anything that you can customise & make it your own especially with things like initials I love!

So when I came across the brand Tinkalink I absolutely loved it!

Tinkalink lets you create a personal & protective case for your iphone. Which enables you to put charms inside & slide a lens over the charms to case them in. Which you can leave loose to float within the case or stick them down. You can make your case your own & thats what I love about it because you can forever change the case to how you want it to suit your style.

The cases are available for iphones 5/5S/5SE, Iphone 6/6s, Iphone 7, Iphone 8, Iphone 6/6s/7/8plus.

You start by picking a case which is like the outer edging for the phone, these come in several different colours:

*Frosty white

*Seal Black 

*Pop Pink 

*Peppermint

*Aqua doll

Then you pick a background skin for your case which come in all lots of plain, glitter or other print, for example:

*Rose gold glitter

*Silver glitter

*Diva pink glitter

*Green camo 

*Blue camo

*Pop pink 

*Peppermint 

& other colours, then lastly you pick some charms to add to it. These come in either silver or gold, they cover things like hearts large, medium & small in size, girl & boy figures, animals, stars large, medium & small in size, wishbones, letters & many other charms.

I just love how you can make it your own & change it up whenever you want. 

I chose the frosty white case, along with the rose gold glitter skin & my initials CM & a medium size heart all in gold. The case was easy to put together & looks gorgeous it really is unlike anything I have seen.

They can be purchased online, Selfridges & Fenwicks's.

Heavenly Jewellery From Annie Haak

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well & having a lovely week?
Mine hasn't been too bad this week I have to say. I think I am nearly fully recovered from my operation now so I am feeling more like myself & less tired. Which is great news :) 
I took my nephew into town yesterday to give my sister some time to herself & he was as good as gold. I definitely enjoy spending time with him. He's always so content. 

Like any other girl I absolutely love jewellery! It's one of those things you can never have enough of simply because every piece is different & unique. I don't like to wear loads of it & there is only certain pieces I wear. For example I'm not one for hoop earrings or dangling earrings I only wear studs, rings I don't wear so if I ever get engaged & married one day having a ring on my hand everyday will be a weird feeling! Then necklaces I only like something of a simple design nothing chunky. But one thing I do always have on is a watch & bracelets. I am such a sucker for a set of lovely bracelets & recently I have come across a brand that I have fallen in love with their jewellery!

Annie Haak which are a jewellery brand I think like no other. All of their pieces are sterling silver, gold or rose gold. Which means the best stuff to have your jewellery made out of. No item turning your finger or wrist green from the makes not real gold can give you. Who wants that look right? So I always think spending more on them is worth the money. Not only that but the designs of the pieces of jewellery are not like anything I've seen. They really are beautiful! Annie takes her inspiration for her jewellery from Bali, so she has factored in the local floral details, people, colours & patterns found in the local markets & villages. Most of the designs carry a special meaning through the mantra's or symbols such as luck, love, protection, strength & wellbeing. Not only that but you can have certain pieces personalised to a special recipient or even for yourself whether it be initials or symbols, charms or an engraved message. 

There literally is something to suit everyone. The stacking bracelets do come in sterling silver, gold bracelets, rose gold, or a mixture. They even do wedding jewellery which is gorgeous & a perfect gift for bridesmaids or for the bride to wear on her day. 

I spotted a beautiful set of stacking bracelets called Santi Tassel Silver Charm Bracelet which had a motto written on a heart charm on one of the bracelets. There is several mottos you can engraved on them I chose the words:

"Ride the waves of life with courage and love"

I absolutely love this quote. It reminds me a bit of the quote from the newest Cinderella "Have Courage & be kind" I have always loved quotes & these are just so fitting & something to think of everyday. What better way than having a bracelet to wear with it on. The bracelets also have heart charm to one of them, a tassel on another & half moon spacers with hearts engraved on them. So in total you get 3 bracelets which make up the most beautiful stack. All unique & equally gorgeous.

One other issue I do have with like bracelets is the size of them. I will admit I have the tiniest wrists going & they literally are like children's wrists. So I do struggle with finding jewellery that fits me. But with Annie Haak they come in different sizes so I can pick the right size for my wrists so they do just fall off which is perfect!

All of the pieces come in a box, with draw string bags so they are well protected from getting damaged or scratched. They also come with a polishing cloth to keep your items in perfect shiny condition. Because Annie Haak is hand crafted with the highest quality 925 sterling silver, 14ct gold & rose gold plate. Also all of their jewellery comes with a 12month warranty from the date of purchase. Any fault will be repaired free of charge under the 12 month warranty. 

I literally have not come across a brand like this, not only that but the service I received with spot on & that always makes me want to go back to company to buy from them again as it was such a breeze. 

So if you have a friends, or relatives birthday coming up or even if you want a treat for yourself definitely check them out! They will not receive another gift like it.

Little Unique Piece

Hello everyone! 
I hope you are all well? So Monday is here & gone already.
Just like the weekend did, I swear you really do blink & the weekend just goes. I didn't have an overly busy weekend but I did take a trip to lakeside for abit of retail therapy. As always it does make you feel good. The primark is just amazing! It's massive! You could literally get lost in there. I did get a fair bit I will admit. But hey I think I jolly well deserved a treat. 

As you may know from a previous blog post of mine I am a big lover of jewellery. 
I like more personal pieces & unique ones. As opposed to ones you pick up in say a normal kind of jewellers like beaver brooks & things. I like to have pieces that not everyone has & you can personalise if you wish to. 

Recently I've come across a brand called Yasmin Marie. Which I found the pieces of jewellery to be so unique which I absolutely love! The brand hasn't been running all that long. They officially launched in November 2016. By a lady called Yasmin Marie Tubbritt with her aim to create a brand which was unique, fun & interesting. All their pieces are made with 925 sterling silver & rhodium plating which fits in nicely with the vintage theme which Yasmin takes her inspiration from. I think it works oh so well! 

Each piece is designed to give the customer a choice on how they want to wear it. Which means they are very universal. Some people choose not to buy a pendant piece to add to the bracelets. They buy the bracelet. Remove the stoppers & just wear it plain. Or it can be worn with a pendant you purchase by being added to the bracelet like a charm. But the great thing is you can simply buy one pendant or more & add it to the bracelet to create a charm bracelet look. Which  I love about the collections because I love charm bracelets. It's like building a piece of new jewellery which tells a story of you or that you want to tell. Necklaces can also be taken apart & the pendant can be removed & added to a bracelet. So you basically get to customise your own piece & make it unique to you & I just love that idea that not one piece is the same. 

Items can be brought together as a set or as individuals. Depending on what you are looking for. So you can purchase a standard bracelet & then buy the pendant that you want to add to it or buy the necklace & then add the pendant you wish to it. You really can mix it up & style it just how you wish to. 

It's such a unique style & way of things! The designs are nothing like I've seen from any other company. I think anyone who creates a business of their own from scratch & has amazing ideas & strive to dream big about their company is amazing. I truly do. It's people like that who I think we should support more. The smaller businesses & help make their dream come true. I much rather would buy from smaller businesses now as opposed to big brands. Because the quality of the products, the customer service you receive is more pleasant, you help support their own dream & the products are more unique & not massed produced. I know what I'd much rather. I just really wish more people would. 

The piece I fell in love with was the bracelets. Like I mentioned earlier I love charm bracelets so to me they stood out. I choose the  classic bracelet with the floral key pendant. Simply because it's such a beautiful design & I am definitely a sucker for floral patterns. It is just beautiful! The key pendant has a dainty floral design to the middle of the key. Which a crystal located at the top of link that goes on the bracelet. Also two stoppers which keep the pendant in place & from slipping off the bracelet. So like a safety net. 

I literally am in love with the piece & have had so many comments about it from people. It definitely makes amazing arm candy! 

I will definitely be adding to my collection & building it up. Especially when more pendants become available. They are a brand worth looking out for because I truly believe they are going to be big!

You really have to check them out! They are perfect for a treat for yourself or for a gift for someone. 

Take care,

Little Stocking Fillers

21:42pm
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!

A little personal touch

12:54pm 
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!

Oh so personal!

20:36pm
Today I could not be anymore excited to get home from work & open my post!
As I knew what had arrived for me! I felt just like a kid at Christmas!

Recently I have fallen in love with literally anything personalised. You name it you now seem to be able to get anything personalised. Bags, make up cases, phone cases, keyrings, almost anything.
I purchased a phone case a little while ago now which has my initials on it & I absolutely love it!
I think it looks lovely especially with the little heart that's on it too. It's a cute little personal touch & it's obviously something not everyone has what with my very own initials on it & that I love.

So when I came across a page on Instagram which does more personalised things I was very happy!
The company is called DS London. The company is based in London & all items are hand crafted all in Britain! For me that's something unique you cannot say many things are both locally & also made in Britain these days. Most are from China or whatever so to me this was even more of a great thing.
All items are hand made & crafted individually. So not one item is the same. You can pick up personalised leather Keyrings, leather bags, card holders & other items are soon being added to their collection. But they are all beautiful pieces! I love the bags too! All the items I find are not only lovely to look at but also look very classy & elegant. A must have in my eyes. 

Looking through their Instagram to me helped me get an idea of what the company offered & I was very interested in that. Their Instagram page showcased their items so well & they all look so good! 

When I opened my package today after work I was in love! 
At the time of ordering I was stuck on what colour to purchase because they all looked so good & all the colours would go with anything. But in the end I decided after help & advice from a friend. Yes thank you Steph :) 
I went for mink, a nice simple colour but also classy & a colour that goes with a lot & is better than a boring black or tan. I think it helps make the writing stand out better too. The quality of the keyring is just beautiful. I am so so happy with it & glad I got it to go with my car key & house key. Let's face it keys can be hard to find in your bag once you put them in there. Especially with that large size bags I have. This keyring will definitely help me find my keys easier. That's definitely a bonus, not only that but it will also look good on a bag, or on my keys. 

I just love love the fact it goes so well with my phone case! 
So pleased with this! It's the little things you could say. 

The people who I contacted at the company have been so lovely & kind to me. Such amazing customer service & to me that's so important. 
They have even been so kind as to give me a code to offer you lot a discount! 
If you use the discount code: CM10 on their website you can receive a discount on your purchase! So don't miss out. 

Check them out:

But don't forget to use the discount code to get your discount! 
I definitely look forward to purchasing more from them in the future!
