Afternoon tea with Pandora











When an email popped up in my inbox about an invitation to an exclusive blogger afternoon tea with the jewellery brand Pandora I quickly replied with YES PLEASE and started to count down the days. I currently own the popular Pandora charm bracelet having luckily received it as a Christmas present a few days ago. I adore adding to a charm bracelet over and collecting charms that have a special meaning. You look down at your wrist and instantly taken back to a special moment in time.

The event took place at the recently opened flagship store on Oxford Street, the largest Pandora concept store in the world. Impressive huh?! We were treated to some bubbles, moorish sandwiches and cute little cakes - I couldn't get enough of the Victoria sponge as usual - as we were taken through the new collection. This seasons collection is based on the enchanted forest so expect to see lots of emerald greens and nature inspired pieces.

The stacking rings once again made an appearance in a array of pretty colours with the addition of a couple of gorgeous cocktail rings - the amethyst ring is pictured above.  There is also a matching pair of earrings and pendant if you want to go all out. I thought the birthstone stud earrings were a brilliant gift idea and were the perfect price point at £45 for a special birthday. Finally the stunning feather collection makes the ideal Christmas gift. It's the perfect amount of bling without being tacky and really packs a punch as it glitters in the sunlight. We were very kindly gifted the necklace and it's gotten a lot of compliments when I wore it.

Thank you so much to all the girls on the day who made the event such a pleasure. I really did have a wonderful afternoon and the amethyst statement ring is at the very top of my Christmas list!

Autumn chill




Outfit:
Quilted black faux leather jacket: Zara (similar)
Floral printed silky tee: Primark (similar)
Silky black maxi skirt: c/o New Look (similar)
Red stack heeled flat ankle strap shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Black Bayswater: Mulberry
Rose gold boyfriend watch - Next (similar)

Summer is well and truly over and I'm still trying to avoid wearing tights so instead I'm opting for a maxi skirt to try and avoid the cold. This rather snazzy shoes were a bargain sale buy from last week. I loved the mini faux snakeskin stacked heel to help give some height and an ankle strap is always a winner. Not the most comfortable pair of shoes it has to be said but that's nothing a few plasters can't solve! I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this faux leather jacket this autumn as it's the perfect thickness for the coming autumn months. I'll even go as far as to say it's probably my favourite thing I've brought this year. Yeah I know. That's a hell of a bold statement.

This coming week is jam packed and once again I'm burning the candle at both ends. My boyfriend was lucky enough to win iTune festival tickets to see Haim so I have that to look forward to on Saturday. I'm also out for dinner three times this week - someone say greedy?! One for a much needed catch up with my best friend, the second for Lily's birthday and the third for burger afternoon tea for Sarah's birthday. Lily's my kind of girl as we're now doing the third thing to help celebrate her birthday! I've got a few blog events to go to as well so it really is all systems go. Next week I'm looking forward to coming home from work and spending the evenings snuggled up in my pyjamas.

I know I know your face but I've forgotten your name

 

Outfit:
Blue light jacket - H&M (similar)
Blue and white boyfriend fit shirt - Topshop via eBay (similar)
Blue skinny jeans - Primark (similar)
White plimsols - Vans

This is my attempt of trying to be effortless and cool like those American blogs. In other words I woke up on monday morning and really couldn't be bothered to go all out for work. On went my vans and a baggy boyfriend fit shirt as a I opted for comfort. Sometimes you really don't want to spend too much time deciding what to wear in the morning. The weather isn't helping either to be honest. Hello Autumn! I really don't want to break out my thick black tights just yet so I'm loitering about in skinny jeans until my poor legs can't cope anymore. Blame the mother who has instilled in me that it's rather odd to wear tights from April to September despite the gail force winds and torrential rain.

Can I go into hibernation please?
