What I've been up to: Lookbook pictures

 I've been wanting to get my creations in more boutiques, so I've been compiling a lookbook to send to them, so they'll know how great my jewellery would look with different outfits, whether or not they are dressed up, or down. I'd like to do more of this each season, because I really enjoyed dressing up and expressing myself! :).

Gifts for the hostess

Every hostess of any party or occasion should have a statement making accessory or garment, especially if it's something to celebrate! Any of that could be done with these pieces:

Purple Applique Jumper

Pink Lips Silver Ring

Silver Feather Charm Earrings

Wooden Style Recycled Earrings

Blue Monochrome Stripe Heart Jumper

White Recycled Forest Print Halterneck Top

Teal Recycled Tank Top

Gifts for the boss/co-worker

Well, not everyone I work with are fans of my quirky style, BUT if I could make anything for some of them, these would be what I'd make:

Teapot ring

Giraffe Animal Ear Studs

Silver Peace Sign Charm Earrings

Pale Pink and Grey Upcycled Jumper

White, Grey and Brown Striped Sleeveless Hoodie

Navy and Pink Recycled Vest Top

Denim Blue Yarn Wrapped Bangle

Gifts for the best friend

My best friend has the same quirky and slightly eccentric dress sense as me, and he can really pull off any outfit! The pieces of clothing and jewellery that I've made in the shop are things that I think would really suit him/I think he'd like.

Black Upcycled Tank Top

I can imagine him wearing this with a hoodie and some baggy jeans. This is a really a no-effort-required kind of garment.

Gorilla Animal Ear Studs.

You don't have to be a woman to wear these kind of earrings! Men can wear this too, and this would totally complete the whole outfit.

Gold Tiger Necklace.

My Bestie loves my gold animal jewellery, and I will make him one, ONE DAY... :). This makes any outfit that extra quirky and unique, which is what I'm looking for!

Buying or making anything for my bestie is so easy because of the fact we bounce off each other with ideas, and fashion sense, and he is definitely my rock. He's also supported my business from day one, so it makes it so easy to think up menswear ideas because I think of him, whenever I need new ideas. 

New in the shop: Goody bags

So I've been making some lovely new goody bags for the shop, in order to get rid of some jewellery supplies  that have been hanging around in the studio for AGES. These would make lovely stocking fillers, a treat to yourself, or even as small individual gifts to loved ones!

All of them come in lovely handmade paper gift bags as well, so they are 100% made with love through and through. They are limited though, and once they are gone, they are gone!

Gifts for her

So, if you're looking for a useful present for the ladies, these selections are bound to be useful...


White and Pink Bunny Ring, £3. It's cute, would look great to wear on your hand for sure!


Navy Floral Print Button Necklace, £5. Compliments the lovely basic dresses for any occasion. I would say this would look good for a new years party ;)



White Patchwork Coin purse, £4. The perfect thing for storing make up, change and keys!

It's always good to have cute, or even practical gifts!

Gifts for him

So, ladies, if you have a lovely, stylish boyfriend/other half that you would like to introduce to some quirky things, then look no further! There are some pieces that you can snap up that they could rock! :)


Rust Men's Vest Top, £5. I can imagine this, being worn with some jeans and a cardigan... it's such an effortless piece, which is what I love about making things for men.


Red Button Ear Studs, £2. If your man has pierced ears, this cheap and cheerful piece, is an excellent way to  jazz up an outfit.


Gold Lion Necklace, £8. These three pieces together, would make a rocking outfit! You can wear it on a night out or on casual days.

Hope you all have found this useful!

Gifts for under £20

So, if you're willing to splash out a little bit on gifts, like I am for my family this year... I have a few things that you may like:



White, Grey and Brown stripe sleeveless top, £12. This would look great with skinny jeans, tracksuit bottoms, or a lovely yoga skirt,  and boots/trainers, layered with some cute animal jewellery!



Whimsical Patchwork Backpack, £12. I have a patchwork bag too, and it definitely is a piece that compliments your outfit. It's also a quirky, practical alternative to the ordinary tote bag.



Brown Stripe Owl Applique Top, £13. This is one piece that you can wear as a baggy top for the slimmer ladies, or still a flattering piece for the more curvaceous ladies. It's totally win-win.

 

Orange Stripe Patchwork Dress, £16. A cute day dress, that you could wear with a headscarf and cardigan in the winter, or in the summer, it's best worn with slippers or sandals, it's that versatile.



Patchwork Tote, £12. This is one of a few pieces made from fake suede, so you can stay stylish and animal free! Is great for carrying books, knitting gear and other every day items!

Behind the scenes.

Well, I have been pretty busy in the studio these days, making lots of jewellery, as well as clothing for the shop... I'm still aiming for the quirky/kitsch look these days, and also trying to make everything look more unified, so I've pretty much cleared out my jewellery supplies and made them into goody bags for sale on at my shop.

I'm on a mission to absolutely clear out my scrap pile that's taken over the studio too, as I'm planning to move out the family house pretty soon, so there's going to be masses of patchwork and upcycled pieces... which I hope everyone would love! :)

Gifts for Under £10

So, if your budget isn't so stretched and you could afford some cute clothing, you're bound to find something over at my shop. :)

 

Brown and Grey Leopard Print V neck Dress, £8. This is so quirky, I love it. You could wear this on a night out, or even just something you can effortlessly wear on your day-to-day lifestyle. Either way, you're going to make a statement with this. 

 

Yellow and Pink Upcycled Cardigan, £5. This is one of my simplest of quirky pieces. This is also a good way to spruce up your wardrobe, especially if you're a t shirt and jeans kind of person. 

 

Yellow Heart Applique Vest Top- £5. I would say this is my favourite piece. If I were a size smaller, I would wear this. You could wear this with a pair of jeans, skirt or shorts! This is also so unique, that it cannot be made again, because this was made with vintage scrap materials.

 

Blue Patterned Print Tunic Shirt, £10. This shirt is vintage, and the way it has been upcycled makes this piece uber comfortable, and stylish.

 

Pink Patchwork Purse, £4. This is so handy for all your make up or loose change, and is so cute!
