With eyes shut, it's you I'm thinking of.

I don't know if I should apologise or hide my face in shame at my lack of blogging.
It's not that I haven't wanted to; believe me, I have! I suppose I've just been lacking in motivation/inspiration/time/energy. Poor excuses, I know.
Can we just ignore this break in our relationship and continue as though no time has passed?!

Tonight, I have found the motivation to blog (hooozarrr) but made very little preparation for doing so. This leaves me with no other option but to make a wish list, which is great when it's probably my favourite thing to do! With summer on it's way (I have faith in you- England,) it's the time of year in which my wardrobe needs a serious overhaul.

Even though I'm poor at blogging, I still update these places pretty regularly!

Prairie Charms Haul

I was contacted by some lovely people from the online store, Prairie Charms, to see if I would be interested in participating in 'Project Blogger.' I jumped at the chance, because let's be honest, who can resist a nice 50% off on lovely products! I had intended to only purchase a couple of items, but I got a bit carried away- here are the goodies I chose!

Kaiya Multi Wrap- £8

I love the 'home made' look of this item, and I love it even more because you can wear it in so many different ways; necklace, bracelet, hair band or bag accessory (and I'm sure in more ways if you're a little more adventurous!) I just think this is something nice to wear with a casual outfit, I always need accessories so rather than glamming something up a bit, I can go for this!

Millie Wrap Bracelet & Knot Hair Ties

Unfortunately the wrap bracelet is no longer available on the website, but this is another item that can be worn in more than just one way! I would happily wear it with or without the charms, but I think they add a nice bit of shine whilst still remaining simple and easy to wear.
The hair ties were a nice treat that had been sent to me, in purple and in red (not pictured here.)  I remember thinking how nice they looked, but didn't bother to order them. I'm so glad they were sent to me anyway as I've lived in them. They're just something nice and simple to brighten up an otherwise run of the mill ponytail, and they really do stay secure in my hair (which even normal hair bands fail to do!) 

Quinn Retro Headband- £8

Headbands are something that I love the look of on other people, but I'm yet to get to grips with wearing them myself. I still have a lot of experimenting to do, which these are great for! Not only is the pattern beautiful and perfect for (what's left of the) summer, the headbands have a piece of wire running through them so they hold the shape, meaning you can twist them in to whatever you'd style like and they'll stay there!
Despite never having worn them before, I couldn't choose just one pattern, so I opted for two! 

Elana Retro Headband - £8

Do any of you have any advice on ways I can wear the headbands? I have fine hair so I struggle with styling at the best of the times! 

Let me know if you check out Prairie Charms!

Talisman

Something about 2013 has drawn out my love of all things tribal and aztec. It's always been there, usually hidden under lots of lace or flowers. It's also causing my taste in jewellery to change, usually I'm a strictly 'only wear silver' kind of girl, but there's something about bronzed jewellery that I really do love.
I've made a few purchases and I just thought I'd share them with you :)

£5 from Urban Outfitters

£10 from shopdixi.com

      

£5 from shopdixi.com

£21.99 from ebay.co.uk

I also couldn't resist ordering 2 new dreamcatchers, I only have 1 and it's a bit lonely :( 

Next time I complain about my lack of money...remind me of this!

I find shelter in this way.

My week according to instagram...and I can confirm it basically means I've spent far too much money! oops >_>

1. Sometimes my cat, Molly, falls asleep like this and proceeds to snore. Her ability to be so cute makes me jealous. // 2. I had a nice little City & Colour delivery, all the way from Canada! // 3. I bought new leggings. £7 from Primark! // 4. I decided to be brave and venture out into the snow. // 5. Snow at 4am. // 6. I curled my hair for the first time in so long, this needed to be documented.

7. Socks and sunglasses courtesy of Topshop! // 8. New hand chain, also courtesy of Topshop. £2.50 in the sale! // 9. I went to London with my sister and decided to treat myself to a new ring. // 10. Whilst in London, the boots I was wearing proved to be very comfortable so I found these in the sale. Tie dye high tops...what's not to love! // 11. I became part of the motelrocks.com street team! // 12. I don't own many vinyls, but the ones I do have live on my wall. 

I also wanted to share a song that I discovered a few nights ago. I suffer with Insomnia and at times it's very stubborn. I finally jumped on the Soundcloud band wagon and found this artist. I purchased his album and it's kept me company til the early hours of the morning.

I hope you've all had a good week!
I'm back at Uni tomorrow (for the first time since last...May?) eep! I have a few things in the pipeline for my blog, including a give away, an updated layout, and some more product reviews! So keep an eye out for them :)

Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.

I just have a photo spam for you really... :)

New favourite item of clothing...100% organic cotton courtesy of Camden Market. 

My friend and I have a tradition that every time we go to London we have to pose in front of these paintings in Charing Cross tube station.

Sometimes I just have to feed the geek in me. 

New camera...so excited to get to know this camera, and to see the many mistakes I'll make along the way.
This was a birthday present from my Mum and I'm so happy to now have this in my possession.  

Another shop dixi post!

shopdixi.com

This is where I begin to show off my purchases that I talked about it in this post.

Firstly, my beautiful pink agate necklace from shopdixi.com! 

Click to buy

It looks quite big in the photos but it's actually the perfect size. I love the colour of this and can tell it's going to work its way on to my 'most worn' pile. (Not that I literally pile up my necklaces, that would be stupid!) 

I was also greeted with a couple of little surprises that have completely made my week! 

I've had my eye on this bracelet for ages, so now to have this in my possession makes me a very happy bunny! I can't see me taking this off any time soon. 

There are different colours available, so keep an eye on the bracelet page if you want one for yourself!

Lastly, this wishbone necklace was included as a little treat!

I love how simple (but sweet) it is. 

You can buy this for £5 by clicking here! 

With christmas just around the corner (eeeek I said the 'C' word) it's definitely worth checking out this website to get some nice little gifts. 

I would be doing the same...but I'm too selfish and end up keeping jewellery for myself ;)

Jewellery Wishlist

If you're anything like me, you have a bit of a jewellery problem that leaves you in a catch 22. I own far too many pieces of jewellery, yet for the most part, I stick to a select few pieces and the rest just stay there looking pretty. Despite this, I have an obsession with buying jewellery to add to the collection.
I thought for this month I would be well behaved, and instead of buying these pieces, I'll just list them all so I can continue to look at them. (For now, pay day is only round the corner...)

Necklace from Etsy
I love this book, and I love this quote. Perfect.

Necklace from Wallpaper Rose
I love keys, I'm  not sure why, is this normal?
It's currently sold out but they're often getting items back in stock so I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Necklace from City and Colour
Being a fan of City and Colour, and as someone who completely loves the song 'Little Hell,' It makes complete sense for me to own this necklace.
I'm usually not a fan of gold, but for this, I'll make the exception.

Ear plugs from Etsy
Thankfully, these are too small for my ears otherwise I would have snapped them up straight away!

Bracelet from Etsy (again!)
I can't think of anything more perfect for me!

Hand Harness from Shop Dixi
I've been eyeing this item up for a quite while! It's not like anything I've seen on the highstreet,  which just adds to the many reasons why I love it.

Feather drop earrings from River Island
I can't help but love these, however the price kinda puts me off.
I'm also not sure if it would look like I had 'too' much going on with my ears, as I have a fair few piercings in each etc.
I imagine I'd only wear one at a time just to tone it back, but even so...

shopdixi.com

I try to tame my internet spending habits, I really do. I'm uncontrollable though.
It's worth it though, because the postman delivered some items that made me very, very happy :) 

I grabbed myself a couple of goodies from ebay, courtesy of shopdixi.com 

My items were sent in this box and the small bag (nice little touch!) 

Items up close

I'd never even heard of an 'over knuckle ring' but I think I might actually like it! 

I usually only wear small rings as I hate the ones that are so big you stuggle to close your fingers together...but this is the perfect size so that isn't an issue! 

The prices are so good (especially if you manage to get lucky on their ebay items, like I did!) so if you like vintage and unique jewellery, accessories and clothing, you should definitely check out Dixi.
