Lou's Reviews: Pearl Island Jewellery

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Earlier this week I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from the lovely people at Pearl Island Jewellery asking if I would like to review some of their products. Ummmm pretty accessories? Yes Please!! Naturally I bit their hand off for the opportunity and I was promptly sent some lovely pieces.

I will get round to doing a youtube video as well but at the moment I shall just stick to the bloggersphere (ie I look hot and red and gross- can someone turn the sun down please?).

All the pieces I was sent are things I would definitely wear and the kind of things you might find in Accessorize (aka Heaven!!).

So, some snaps of my little gems:

This Eiffel Tower necklace is my favourite. When i looked on the website, I thought it would be the Royal Carriage, but like the wind, I changed my mind. This is what I would call a mid-long length necklace (it sits on my cleavage-oh la la). The website says 24 inches if that means anything to you?

This necklace is perfect for adding a hint of summer frivolity to an outfit but not going mental, just right.

rrp: £5

Pretty pretty pretty. Likey Likey Likey!

These pearls are definitely like the things I make and wear. I love the little gold beads, to give the set a bit more glamour and modernise a ladylike favourite.

I have worn these quite a few times already and one thing that really stood out was the elastic the pearls are strung on. I often find with these sorts of bracelets that the elastic is really super thin and snaps easily. This elastic feels quite sturdy so that is a brucey bonus indeed.

rrp: £5

This is another mid-long necklace and is the Royal Carriage design. I love the whimsy of it and think it isn't something you would see all to often. I find it a bit reminiscent of Cinderella which give me a warm fuzzy.

On a less positive note, I wore this to the office on Thursday and by 5pm I had lost the bow and the pearl which I was a bit bummed about. I don't think I was particularly rough with it but I suppose I did fiddle with it when I was reading things etc, so I would advise you to be delicate with it.

rrp: £7

Look how detailed it is :)

I have had a good nosey at the website and now have my beady little eyes on the camera ring and gold key necklace. What do you have your eyes on?

Toodlepip!

Blog Shopping- Shabby Chic Pin Cushions

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Beauty posts coming soon I pinkie promise! Until then though, here is a crafty one :)

I have taken the plunge and decided that when my contract finishes with my office in August, I am going to go all out and meet with boutiques, gifty knickknack stores and craft shops and see if they would like to stock my handmade goodies. They usually sell well at craft fayres so I have high hopes. 

Until then (urgh roll on August!!), I am giving you a sneak peak into new ranges and if you would like to have one of your own, you can! Hurrah Huzzah!

Since I am going gaga over my sewing machine at the moment, I have made a few shabby chic girlie pin cushions, for all you other budding seamstresses out there. 

All three of the little pin cushions are unique and one of a kind. They are made me uber soft fabric, vintage ribbon and buttons (good old Granny) and lovingly filled with teddybear stuffing. Mmmmm. 

Each cushion is £4.20, payable by paypal. Just leave a comment with which you would like and your paypal address and I shall invoice you. P+P £1 UK and £2 everywhere else.

Last time I put my crafty things on my blog, they sold out super fast and I felt bad when I had no more to give you so be quick if these are to be yours :)

So here the little cuties are:

Little Bow Pin Cushion (front and back)

Wrist Bow Pin Cushion (front and back)

Parcel Pin Cushion (front and even fronter-ha! The back looks exactly the same but without ends of ribbon)

Do let me know what you think of my shabby chic lovelies.

Toodlepip!
