Xmas Wishlist

This year being my first year in the blogging world, I have been very fortunate to work with some companies already, so I thought what better way than to keep you guys updated with their current stock range than to do a xmas wish list of all the things I'm currently loving from them!

First up is Futurocks!!!!

Now if you weren't aware of Futurocks, (where have you been), then to get you updated fast, they basically sell iPhone cases, power banks and accessories. However not just any kind of phone cases, the most fashionable ones around at very affordable prices. The cases are mainly aimed at the ladies, but for the men the handy gadget of a power bank is a great stocking filler! Here are my two favourites that are on my list this year!



The power banks come in a range of colours which include fuchsia pink, black, blue and gold! The iPhone case is £14.99 and the power bank is £19.99.



Zefyr Jewels is a jewellery company based in Australia, with the designer Tanya Coelho depicting a beautiful story behind each stunning piece! Heres two of my favourites that are on my christmas list!

The lolly swivel ring in blueberry priced at $69.00 and the circe pendant in gold priced at $75.00. 
I absolutely love receiving jewellery as you can always tell that some real thought has gone into the choosing of the right piece for you from the giver!






La Mav ia another brand which I have worked with and loved their products! I particularly liked the fact that the products are organic and was kind to my skin! My favourite set from the website at the moment would have to be the "Be Beautiful Mineral Makeup Collection", as this really is a box full of treats!!!!





YoungTed has recently released its autumn/winter range of hoodies and sweats with the iconic bear 
on the front and these two are my absolute favourites! I love on really colds days wearing jumpers 
that are all cosy, cute and warm and these definitely tick those boxes!!! Prices start from £25 and they 
also do a mens and kids range, so they really are perfect for all the family and great for christmas!!!








Mara Jewellery is part of my every day look. With simple statement pieces that can add edge and colour to an outfit, I always incorporate Mara. The brand is a British company with the designer sourcing carefully picked stones from all over the globe to create unique pieces! Here are the two pieces that are on my xmas wish list this year!!!



The bracelet is called the Ito bracelet and is priced at £14, and the necklace is the Roka necklace and is $12.



Hope you have enjoyed my xmas wish list! Let me know whats on yours and what is your fave piece from what I have chosen!!!

A Time Worthy Event

A few weeks back now, me and my boyfriend went down to London, to visit the SalonQP event at the Saatchi Gallery. We stayed at the Plaza Hotel on Vauxhall Road and had a lovely suite with views of some very pretty houses. With Leighs work commitments we arrived later than expected and therefor had to get our glad rags on rather quickly!

I wore a black body con dress from Next (696-483),  black stilettos also from Next (699-461),  and this gorgeous watch that Leigh brought me especially for the event!




The event was every bit as glamorous as I had imagined! With the brights lights lighting up the walk way to the event, to the awaiting photographers as we entered the building! Champagne in one hand and a goodie bag in the other it was time to explore the much anticipated watch event of the year. 
The galleries were full with beautiful different time keeping pieces, from watches to pocket watches, to clocks of all sizes imaginable! A wide selection of brands were on hand to showcase their impressive latest designs, from the likes of Jaeger-LeCoultre, Tag Heuer, Hermes, Chopard, Mont Blanc and Cartier to name but a few. We were treated to not only seeing next years collections from the brands but also a few watch makers building movements and showing the amount of skill and precision required to build the beautiful works of art.




We were lucky enough to get up close and see the fantastic MB&F machine, it was amazing and for me shows real experimentation and a real talk point. I just need to mortgage the house now to get one!

The best display of the evening undoubtedly went to Hermes. They had intricate displays which included scenes from Paris, London and even King Kongs hand. The watches themselves were very delicate and small compared to others on the night, but the elegance of each piece within the scene was simply breath taking!






The SalonQP event was a watch lovers dream and anyone interested in horology should visit next years event without a doubt! A fab evening had by all!
