In the grand scheme of things, pregnancy has been really kind to me so far. One thing that I haven't been so lucky with though, is sausage fingers. Yup, I have had major sausage finger syndrome. I haven't actually been able to wear my engagement ring for about five months. I miss it.
Because of this, I've really been craving some new jewellery. I used to love wearing several rings at once, and now my bare digits are just looking sad and lonely.
I have picked the above pieces out of sheer love. I've seen many of them on instagram, teasing me with their prettiness. Who knows, maybe I'll treat myself when my fingers are no longer abnormally chunky.
Oh yes, I am aware that there are a couple of non ring pieces there too. I'm just a little obsessed with the digit accessories.

Find me on

A couple of weeks ago I saw a that Sophia With Love was looking for bloggers to review. 
As a big fan of Sophia as a blogger, I thought I'd reply and a couple of days ago I received a cute little goody bag containing some of their best sellers. 

The item that caught my eye immediately was the dupe for the YSL arty ring. I have seen a ton of these floating about, but I've never gotten around to actually ordering one. 
All I can say now, is that I definitely want more. 
As a lover of big, fancy, eye catching rings, I also fell in love with the blue rose ring that I had received. 

The bracelet is simple and cute, it would make a great addition to any wrist. Mine is now currently sitting in between the bracelets I received at Christmas, and it fits perfectly. 

The earrings aren't something I would usually have chosen for myself, but I have to admit, since they fell through my door, they have been feature on my ears. 
I usually have issues with earrings that are a little more elaborate, but as these lie quite flat, they're really comfortable to wear.

I'd definitely like to order from Sophia With Love in the future. The prices are incredibly low and the pieces are all beautiful. 
I think any of the pieces would make great gifts for any jewellery loving girly. 

I really recommend you guys go over to the website to have a mooch. 
You could even follow them on twitter @Sophiawithlove1 or over on Facebook

Make sure to let me know in the comments if any of you order anything!

I was recently in touch with the lovely people over at cutey.co.uk and a few days ago I was surprised to see a little package appear through my letterbox. 
Inside were two of their bracelets to review for them. Both could not be any more my taste if they tried. They are both beautiful.

Both bracelets are very well made, strong and sturdy and the perfect size for my wrists. Sometimes I find this style of bracelet can be a little too large.

The Eros charm bracelet retails for £12.99 and represents the God of Love.
The charms themselves are suitably girly, with hints of pinks, greens and love hearts. 
You can order this bracelet in either a 18cm or a 20cm length. 
If you are worried about this little beauty slipping off of your wrist, or even the clasp popping, fear not. The closing fixture is easy to use and clips shut to ensure no such thing would happen.

The pink shamballa bracelet retails for £18.99. 
It holds nine beautiful beads boasting 84 crystals on each bead, and the closing fixture is adjustable, meaning you can wear this bracelet as tight or loose as you prefer. 
Out of the two, this is my favourite. It's super girly and absolutely stunning! I can assure you it will become a main feature on my wrist. 

As you can see, both bracelets are lovely. If you're a fan of either style of bracelet but haven't wanted to fork out some of the ridiculous prices flying around, then Cutey is totally for you. 
If you visit their website, there is a large range to choose from.

If you do end up purchasing, make sure to let me know what you think. 
You could even send cutey a cheeky little tweet @cutey on Twitter.

I really wanted to share with you a couple of extra goodies we received in our #leedsbloggermeetup2012 goody bag. Each of us got something different and I was lucky enough to be given two pieces I would have picked out for myself. I love them. 

I received the silver twisted above knuckle ring and the cross dangly charm ring. Both pieces are simple and absolutely my taste. I think I'll be rocking both at the LFW show I am attending this Friday. I am now the proud owner of three pieces from Kukee and I hope to continue building my collection.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you to Kukee for providing such fabulous goodies for us. 
If you would like to check out the other pieces Kukee has to offer, you can visit their website

Hi my lovelies, 
Yesterday my good pal Sarah and I went on a trek up the hill in town. We ended up finding a public bridle path and decided it was a great place to take some outfit photos. 

I had a really bad time looking back at these photos. These are first photos of myself where I've really seen how much weight I have gained. Like I said in my last outfit post, I am still proud of my curves, I've just never really noticed how big I actually look. 
Thankfully, I am on my big health kick and so far I have walked 7 miles this week, 7 miles I wouldn't normally walk. Hopefully this'll pay off and I will feel much more toned and a little slimmer. 

If you haven't already noticed, I have added a new advert/button over to the right there. Two bloggers, Sophia and Sandra are venturing into a new chapter of their life by trying to lose 90lbs. 
I urge you all to go and follow their new blog and support them in their journey. I am right behind them, and doing it with them in my own little way. This means that Friday Fitday posts will become regular again, I am no longer slacking, and I really mean business. (Yes, I know I've said that a hundred times. This time it's for real.) 

If any of you guys have some healthy meal ideas or exercise tips. Make sure to leave them in the comments below. 
Hope you guys are well!

P.S. Here's a little summat summat to make you chuckle.

DSC_0089Pictures25Hi my loves!
I thought I would share another little give away win with you. I feel I've had a little good luck spree recently. 
This give away was run by Union Soul on Twitter. The first 10 people to retweet in ten minutes would each win an item from the jewellery store. The prizes were totally random so we didn't know what we would get.
Much to my surprise I received the most gorgeous spike necklace, which retails for £10 on the store.
I am in love with it and I think it would look utterly perfect with a collared shirt. 
I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to Patsy and to tell you all to go check out Union Soul

I recently took a chance and entered a little give away on facebook. All I had to do was like the page, which I already had done previously, and share the post featuring the prize. 
I think I only entered about 20 minutes before the give away ended, so I was so surprised when I was announced as the winner. 
The gorgeous prize was this multiple cross spiral ring, something I would have totally have picked out for myself. 
I received the ring a few days after the give away ended and I am in love! 
I wanted to give Kukee this little post to say thank you to Sil, and to tell you guys to go check out the fabulous store, here!DSC_0099DSC_0108

Hi lovelies, 
Whilst I was on my little unplanned hiatus I made a cheeky little jewellery purchase and I think I have found a new favourite.
Sawyer and Scout is a handmade jewellery store that I've had my eye on for a little while, and I thought it was about time to make an order for a couple of pairs of earrings I had been lusting over, although I did also sneak in a little extra bracelet too. I just couldn't help myself. 
Delivery was super fast and the cute packaging got me all excited. The hand written note was a lovely touch and I really felt as though I'd received something that someone had taken their time over. (Because don't you just hate it when you get a package that's just been chucked in a jiffy bag and posted.)
All I can say is, this jewellery has barely left my body since I received it and I'm constantly looking at the online store to see which new items have popped up. At the minute I have my eye on the most beautiful skull bullet necklace and I'm already excited for next month, because I may actually be able to afford to treat myself. 
If any of you would like to take a look for yourself you can find the store at www.sawyerandscout.bigcartel.com, and I very much suggest you do so. 
Go on, you know you wanna. :)
Hope you are all well!

Hi Lovelies!
   I've been on the hunt for some good storage for my ever growing make-up/jewellery/nail varnish collection recently, so I thought I'd share some of the goodies I've come across!


 I have literally been searching for a good display case for my nail varnishes for weeks and this is the cheapest I thing I have been able to find. If you have quite a small collection I think this could be ideal, although it's not quite big enough for my ever growing stash. It sells for £10.99 with free shipping and you can purchase it HERE.


 Now this is exactly what I had in mind! I love the fact that it is wall mountable and you can fit a good variaty of polishes in the rack without them falling out. I had previously found another unit similar to this but the shelves were tiny and there was no way you could fit an OPI bottle in them. 
This sells for £21.50 and they also charge £4.63 for shipping, so it is a little more on the pricey side, but I think it's a good price to pay to have somewhere where you can display all of your varnishes. 
You can purchase this item HERE.
Now, you should all know by now that I'm a massive lipstick junkie and my collection is growing super fast. I thought this would be the perfect way to store them and I'm most definitely getting one of these for myself as soon as I have some pennies!
It sells for £7.50 and £3.98 shipping, so once again a little bit on the pricey side for something that is basically just plastic, but it's a small price to pay for your lipsticks to not be rolling around in a draw.
You can buy it HERE.
 This little tray is the ideal addition to any organisational system. Personally I would use it to keep all of my single eyeshadows in, but you could use it for almost anything! There are three different kinds of tray available but this was my favourite. It's available from Argos for £9.99, but if you can't make it to your local Argos store you can by it HERE.
This is so cute, I just can't wait for it to be a new addition to my room! I currently struggle to find a good way store my necklaces without them getting tangled up, but this is ideal! Not only could I hang my necklaces on this, but I could also hook my big earrings on it too. It costs £6.95 and you can buy it HERE.


I was pointed in the direction of this little beauty of a brush holder by juicystar07 (Blair Fowler) on Youtube. It's actually a product from the online store she has with her sister Elle (AllThatGlitters21 on Youtube.) 
You can buy them personalised with your own initial as well as being able to choose a colour of your choice. 
It sells for $15.00 and you receive the plastic beads as well. Now obviously it is an american site so I'm unsure of how long it would take for you to receive this product, but I do think it's too good to pass up.
If you would like one for yourself, you can purchase it HERE along with plenty of other personalised items!

I hope you guys found this post helpful. I'm going to purchase a couple of these items for myself as soon as I am back in the land of money again. Looking for a job is so damn stressful, especially when you don't want to join the army or become a TV areal installer.

I've been looking for some new rings recently and came across Dainty Roses through Twitter. The shop sells everything from jewellery to stationary it's all very reasonably priced and postage is as cheap as £3.00 maximum for worldwide shipping. 
I browsed for a while and came across an offer for 3 random shell rings for £6.50, usually the rings sell for £3.50 each, so it's an offer too good to miss. My parcel arrived 5 days after I ordered, which for Christmas time, was really quite quick! 
The first thing I noticed was the beautiful packaging. The owner Lisa had taken her time to personalise it with tags, cute string and a little badge. She had also hand written a lovely note on the back of her business card
After ordering, I sent Lisa a tweet saying how lovely her jewellery was. She replied asking what I liked in particular and I told her that I had my eye on one of the blue shell rings, I also told her what I had just ordered. She was so lovely, she told me that she would make sure that she put one of the blue ones in my random three. 
These are the rings I received, they are all adjustable and are beautiful. I adore the colours and the way the shell catches the light. I also like the fact that she sent me three which were very different from one another. 
For the price I paid for them, I am so impressed, I will definitely be ordering again and her products would make ideal stocking fillers for this fast approaching Christmas!
I also received a cute little gift with my order, so if you do read this Lisa, thank you so much. 

If you're looking for gifts for someone special, or you just want to treat yourself, head over to the Dainty Roses website and have a browse!
Disclaimer - I purchased these with my own money and my opinion is truthful and honest.

Cocktail rings, a statement piece of jewellery I think every girl should own. Ever since I was in my my teens, I have had a thing for big, chunky rings that can catch someones eye. 
My current want is the YSL Arty ring, but we all know someone as skint as me will never be able to afford a piece like that, so for all you bargain lovers out there, I have found a lookalike on ebay that even the poorest of people should be able to afford. 


I am always on the lookout for new rings, so if you have any suggestions, just comment below.
