Summer's in the air and Baby, heaven's in your eyes

I was recently contacted by Clothingloves.net and offered the chance to receive two items of jewellery from them per month. This was an opportunity I couldn't say no to! I will be featuring these items in posts on my blog, whether it be a post on their own or included in an outfit post.

Clothingloves is a company that sells women's clothing, men's clothing and also jewellery. The jewellery section has many different varieties, including cute, girly pieces such as the gorgeous moustache earrings in the picture, and then some more edgy pieces like the spike bracelet. There really is something for everyone!

The items in the picture are just a few of my favourites, especially the spike bracelets and the cross rings.

Giveaway prizes - Thankyou Erin!

 I recently won a giveaway on Erin's blog and I wanted to make this post as a thankyou and also to show you all what I got! So thankyou very much Erin, I love my prizes so much, and the card was lovely (and it smelt amazing too).

Tag, 8 Fall (Autumn) loves

Hello Everyone, today I am doing a tag! I was tagged by the lovely Khadija to do the '8 Fall loves Tag'

 

1) Favourite nail polish:

My favourite nail polish for Autumn is probably, 'My Private Jet' by OPI! It's such a pretty browny/gold shade that's all sparkly :D

 

2) Favourite Eyeshadow:

I don't really have a favourite eyesahdow as I never wear it because it doesn't really suit me! But if I were to pick a colour I would probably go for a browny, gold orangey shade.

3) Favourite Blush:

 I only own about 2 blushes, but I really love my Sleek one in the shade 'Flushed' which is a really lovely deep pinky/red.

 4) Favourite clothing item:

I would probably say a big knitted jumper or cardigan, but I also love my Leather Jacket I got from Zara, it's so warm and comfy and I wear it everyday! 

5) Favourite Autumn Lipstick:

I love anything deep red for Autumn! SO I would say my Rimmel lipstick '480 classic Wine' or a deep red one that I have from MUA, I don't know the number of this one becasue the label has rubbed off, sorry. 

6) Favourite Auntumn Jewellery item:

Oooh I don't really have one for this, because I just tend to wear whatever goes with what I'm wearing! But I think my gold collar necklace from Kukee is quite Autumnal.

7) Favourite Autumn Perfume:

I think it would have to be either, the body shop Vanilla perfume, because it is so lovely and lasts for ages or another body shop perfume called 'Amorito' because this one is such a lovely scent, I can't describe it all, but it reminds me of Christmas and my Mum because she always wears it too!

8) Favourite Miscelaneous Autumn Item:

My fingerless elbow length gloves form H&M! They are knitted and deep burgundy and I think they are called 'hand warmers' but I just love them! 

9) What is th ething you look forward ot most in Autumn?

HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN!!! :D I get so excited because I love any excuse to dress up really! I always dress up as a witch, not in one of these revealing costumes that people wear to parties, but in a black dress with tights and hat haha!

10) Do you go trick or treating, if so what are you planning on dressing up as this year?

I don't go properly trick or treating, but we take our next  door neighbours little girl around our road to the neighbours hehe! She is only 3-4 and last year she dressed up as Tinkerbell, and I was a witch (again) so I will probably do the same this year. I also love to paint fake injuries on myself, a bit like I did the post on the ripped nail I made, so I could do some more blog posts on that sort of thing for Halloween perhaps?

I hope you all liked the Tag, I tag anybody who wants to do it because I don't want anyone to feel left out so feel free to just do it and say I tagged you :)

Delivery from Kukee

 A bit ago I made an order from Kukee, after hearing about them everywhere! It is an online shop that sells affordable, handmade jewellery items. I used some of my birthday money in advance and bought some lovely pieces of jewellery. The prices are really affordable too, for example the large cross earrings (the studs) were only £2.50. My delivery came the day before my birthday, it was in a box and everything was wrapped very nicely. I also got a free over the knuckle ring, which you get free with any order over £10, but I couldn't find it to photograph. I really love everything and would recommend you all go and check them out!

This way Alice - Tea Party

I have finally got around to posting about my birthday, sorry it has taken so long but I have been really busy setting up for a jewellery stall my friend and I are having at a handmade market.It is tomorrow (Sunday 29th June) and is in the Stockport market hall from 11- 4pm, so if you live near by or know anyone who does make sure to come along and say hello! :)

 

 My birthday presents from friends and family

I thought I would wear my rose head garland as the weather was nice

 My Mum took me to a little garden center for breakfast, it has a really pretty cafe

 Here are all the beautiful cupcakes and treats from my tea party! I decided to have lots of little cupcakes instead of one big cake. I also chose some french fancies and lots of other pretty little biscuits and treats. By the way, food photography isn't really my strong point, but I tried my best hehe! My friend Lily came round and stayed for a sleepover and we scoffed Lindor milk truffles (the little red balls) like there was know tomorrow, but it was my birthday, so why not?

Scrabble Necklace

 

 I have decided that selling jewellery on my blog is the easiest way to sell it for now, so I hope you all like the pieces that I make. Recently I made a scrabble necklace, and have decided to sell them over my blog after many people asked me where I bought it from. 

They are £3 each, and you can choose any letter you like to have on it. Postage will vary depending on where you live, £1.50 for the UK and £3.50 for America. If you would like to know how much postage is for where you live, leave a comment below asking and I will let you know. I will post worldwide and will accept payment through the post in dollars, pounds and euros. Let me know in the comments if you would like to purchase one and please include your email and I will contact you with the details. Thank you,  I hope you like them!

Making Jewellery

I thought I would show you all some of my pieces of jewellery that I have made in the past year. I have loved making jewellery for a few years now, and would love to sell some things I make, perhaps over an online shop. However I don't know how to set one up that doesn't use pay pal, so for now I will just keep on making them and maybe one day have a little online shop :) Please let me know whether any of you would be interested in buying any of my pieces if I did set up a shop!
