HAUL // Delilah Dust Jewellery

   

All items c/o Delilah Dust
Feather wish bracelet // £3.50 // link
Moon bracelet // £2.50 // link
Mystic green aura quartz necklace // £7 // link
Silver spine necklace // £4 // link

I have seen Delilah Dust around a couple of times on blogs and I honestly don't think you'll find another jewellery shop online with such fair prices - these four items all only total to £17, usually a crystal necklace alone costs more than that!  I'm totally obsessed with moons at the moment so this bracelet is perfect for me, and I've not seen anything around like it so it's nice to have something different.  I love how all the jewellery is so delicate and is all sterling silver, perfect for wearing on its own for a simple finish to an outfit or layered up with other pieces for a statement impact!

HAUL // Native Feathers Jewellery

   

All items c/o Native Feathers

Cross upper arm cuff // £6 // link (similar)
Eagle claw ring // £6 // link
Turquoise ring // £4 // link (similar)
Eagle claw cuff // £5 // link

Not so long ago I received a bundle of beautiful jewellery from Native Feathers, and I adore everything!  I've wanted a claw bangle for so long and this Eagle claw is perfect, and is hinged so sits comfortably on your arm, unlike other bangles which usually just slip off my little wrists!  Next is the upper arm cuff.  I've always had a love for upper arm bracelets, owning a vintage snake one (featured here) but it's very simple, so you can imagine how happy I was when this one arrived!  I actually wore it to a party not so long ago with a capped sleeve dress, so the band was hidden with the crosses dangling down and I received so many compliments on it!  I just think there are so many ways to wear them and adds a tribal essence to your outfit, which in my opinion is always welcome!  Lastly, I got another eagle claw piece, the ring form in silver, and a simple turquoise ring.  I don't actually own a turquoise ring yet and I've been wanting one for ages so this was a brilliant addition to my (very large!) ring collection, and the eagle claw ring is a simple statement piece, great to be worn on its own for an impact, or (in my case) layered up for awesomeness!

HAUL // AOKO NY Jewellery

Snake ear cuff // link
Spike necklace // link
Kitty ring // link

So not so long ago I received a couple of items from AOKO NY, a brand new online store selling a variety of jewellery, accessories and a couple items of clothing!  The shop is super pretty and looks so professional considering it's only just been started up.  I received the snake cuff and spike necklace above but my favourite item has got to be the adorable kitty ring, I haven't been able to take it off hardly!  What is your favourite item of AOKO NY jewellery?

Regal Rose Haul

Quartz Necklace // Regal Rose £17

As soon as Regal Rose released this necklace I knew I had to have it!  At the time my friend wanted to buy me a birthday present and this was under £20 so within her budget, so she ordered it to deliver to my house, little did I know my mum had already bought it for me! Literally what are the odds?! Luckily though Regal Rose were really understanding and offered me an exchange or refund, but that's irrelevant LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS.  I've been needing a new necklace for a while as I don't really have a 'throw on' long necklace that I really like that much, so this was absolutely perfect, Regal Rose also do a ton more gorgeous stuff so definitely check out the store here!

Opal Ring

 Opal ring // eBay [one off listing]

I bought this ring aaages ago off eBay and lost it for a while.  It turned up today and I remembered how much I loved it! It's pretty big on me so I want to get it altered so that it fits me properly but isn't it gorgeous?! I thought it was pretty relevant because it's my birthday coming up in October (under a month until I'm 18, scary!) and the opal is my birthstone.  I love finding beautiful rarities on ebay, have you found anything one off and awesome on ebay before?

ICE CRUSH

OPI 'Do you lilac it?' & Topshop 'Ice Crush'

I have acrylic nail overlays so get my nails done in a salon every month.  I wanted something different so I got a wee bit of nail art on my thumb!  I provided my own nail varnish, Topshop Ice Crush and OPI 'Do you lilac it?' (featured in a previous nail post here) and the salon had a silver nail art pen that they did the cross with.  I actually got them done like this before Reading festival in August (I just haven't had the time to blog about them) and I think they turned out really great and I received so many compliments on them! What do you think of nail art? Awesome or naff?

Rhyme & Reason

Top // Boohoo
Shorts // IRIDESCENT
Creepers // Underground
Tie dye socks // eBay
Sunglasses // Prada
Metal cuff // eBay
Ring, necklace & earring // IRIDESCENT

I've seen a load of these sorts of pictures on tumblr and thought I'd try one out for myself! I recently bought this drop arm tee off Boohoo and absolutely love it.  It's a copy of one of the UNIF tanks like this one here and is £50 less than than the real thing!  I made the shorts myself and they are actually on my shop right now.  There is a studded cross on one of the bum pockets but I thought it'd be a little too much considering there's a cross on the earring and the tee! My creepers are there because I wear them every day and I loooove my tie dye socks so I couldn't not put them in there.  What do you think of the outfit? (:

NEW IN

It took me a while but I studded this gorgeous Armani buttermilk leather jacket and absolutely love it, so don't really want to sell it, but if you love something you'll let it go!  The jacket is around a size 10 and looks gorgeous on, and is £60, which is a bargain considering it's vintage Armani! See the listing here.

I got a car!?

I turned 17 in October and have been having lessons since then, and the other day my instructor said that I was ready to put in for my driving test, unfortunately the soonest space I could get is in mid july, yep.  Anyway, my dad said that after I got really good GCSE results last year he would give me £2000 for a car, which I think is really generous.  There was a Blackbushe car auction today and my dad said he'd go, but mainly to have a look, and wasn't promising anything, next thing I know I receive an email with a picture and find out he'd actually bought me a car!  It's a 2005 Nissan Micra with a good mileage and I've absolutely fallen in love with it!  It's the car I've wanted for ages and it's surprisingly really spacious inside and I can't wait to pass my test.

There was a little bit of a shenanigan when I got home though; my dad being all daddish put the keys in the ignition all ready for me to get in when I arrived home from college so I could have a play with the car, and didn't realise the car had an auto-lock function.  To cut a long story short he had to pay a locksmith like £115 to come over and basically break into my car for me which was totally weird so congrats to my father for reaching a new level of brilliant, but most of all, welcome to the family little Micra, I hope we have many adventures together!

SILVER

My nails were getting pretty bad, so I went to the salon to get them redone (I have acrylic nails).  I had to have a complete soak-off as they were getting all damaged and skanky. It's the longest process, I had to sit in the place for over an hour and a half!  It's worth it though, as your nails look so good afterwards (apart from I'm not really too sure about the shape this time, they made them all stubby and square) and because the nails are stable and completely hardened, unlike real nails which are naturally able to bend, your nail varnish never chips, so I never have to worry about that!  I decided I'd go a little different from the usual colour scheme, and try out silver.  Unfortunately I don't have the brand or the bottle in the photos, as it belonged to the salon, but in real life you can see all the little sparkles, and the coverage is so good, the silver was completely solid within just two coats! Oh, and I bought the cross knuckle ring ages ago from eBay, it's so annoying that everyone has them now!
