Past the Pines

I've recently developed a strong attraction to wooden jewellery - and these are a few of my favoured pieces from the rather wonderful Lost at Sea and Stolen Thunder. I was lucky enough to receive a Mini Stegosaurus Silhouette Pin from Lost at Sea as a birthday present back in January and it's adorned my denim shirt ever since - I love it! Lost at Sea also produce larger, more elaborate brooches, rings and necklaces.

I discovered Stolen Thunder via tumblr, the girl with balloons brooch was featured in a fashion shoot and immediate I had to hunt down the website as the quirky wooden silhouettes instantly grabbed my attention. Stolen Thunder create a range of brooches, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and charms, above demonstrates a small selection. I'm particularly attracted to the girl with the umbrella and the girl with the kite brooch ... I may have to ask one of the parentals for one for Christmas! (...there's nothing wrong with forward planning... though I'm sure by the time Christmas comes around I'll need something 'useful' instead...) x

I don't do that much talking these days.

When perusing the Ark Clothing sale, I came across this cute green shoulder bow dress, which I've slightly fallen in love with, and the sale price makes it just that little bit more tempting! This light weight, loose fitting dress is so versatile, I've teamed it with an over-sized light denim shirt from Topshop for day wear, and a grey boyfriend-fit blazer also from Topshop for a slightly more sophisticated evening look. ( Cheaper alternatives can always be sought in Primark!)  

I feel this dress would be complimented with the WRJ Bella necklace - the antique brass tree charm holds a small bird perched in it's branches and is hung with a small heart and coral rose cabochon. It hangs from a mid-length chain which would look great with the scoop neckline and the design is great for the summer- regardless of the rain! To complete the outfit, use a pastel nail varnish - I've selected Model's Own Buff Pink, Fuzzy Peach or Slate Green depending on your mood! (It would also look great finished with a vintage brown belt). I hope you like. x
