Spin

One of the best things about blogging is being able to share all the exciting things I see and people I meet. And this post is a great example of that.

I would like you to meet my friend, the very talented jewellery designer Ana Thompson. Below is her beautiful collection of unisex cufflinks called Spin. How about that ladies? This season when one of the biggest trends is playing with masculinity/femininity a pair of cufflinks is a must! After this shoot I realised that I never want to wear a shirt with simple buttons on the sleeves ever again. 

Ana Thompson is a Colombian designer based in London, with a background in Industrial Design and an MA in Jewellery Design. Her Spin collection reflects the energy of a constant movement, inspired by the precise balance and motion of spinning tops, one of the oldest recognisable toys. You can see more of her work and learn more about the collection on www.anathompson.co.uk. So go check it out!

So there it is guys, I hope you are having a great Monday! xx

SWAG

Happy Monday guys! Hope you all had a relaxing weekend and are refreshed and ready to face a new week. I've been busy researching and making Christmas gifts lists and even though I'm still long way from being done, I have definitely discovered some amazing online gems and wanted to share them with you!

Have you heard of the SWAG store? It's been around since 1974 selling some of the top jewellery brands like DKNY, Emporio Armani, Hugo Boss, Links of London, Pandora and many more. It's a family run business and currently has 6 high street stores and 17 Pandora stores in the UK. 

So you are probably wondering why I'm suddenly so excited about SWAG? The reason is the launch of their brand new online store www.swaguk.co.uk just in time for Christmas shopping. The website is fully compatible with mobile devices and tablets to make your shopping easier and even more enjoyable. I've spent half of a day browsing through the website on my iPad, looking through every single page, not being able to narrow down my wish list. They have such a wide selection of rings, bracelets, earrings, watches and my personal favourite - charms! Every time I saw another tiny Christmas cane, angel or snowflake I added it to my shopping basket and now it's bursting with my favourites and I have to make some serious editing. 

I have made a selection of my SWAG picks to give you a better idea of what you can find in the online store and to inspire you with some great Christmas gifts ideas.

So grab your tablet, mobile or laptop and head over to the brand new SWAG website and get 10% off your first oder! 

Happy shopping!

Spa in the City

London is hot right now! Seems like my best friend this week is an ice-cream and various fruity coolers. Can it please stay this way forever? If this perfect weather wasn't enough for me to happy, I have also made a visit to the 'country spa retreat in the city' at Cowshed to get a mani (by Essie) and preview new Guess jewellery and watch collection. What a nice combination of luxurious accessories and relaxing atmosphere! You just sit down into what seems like the most comfortable armchair in the world, get your nails done and at the same time, preview the latest Guess accessories. Seriously, how cool is the interior? 

If you haven't been to Cowshed Spa yet, I suggest you make an appointment. Choose from a variety of treatments and enjoy being spoiled! You deserve it!

And don't miss the new Guess collection in stores very soon!
