And Smile





I've had my eye on this necklace ever since I saw it on Instagram. The lovely Viktorija sells jewllery and art that she's made on Etsey. Well worth a look. Viktorija's lovingly made illustrations of the swallows and heart have been made into this gorgeous necklace using shrink plastic which makes a very adorable peice, perfect accessory for Valentines day. You can't find anything like this on the high street, which makes it feel unique. I was so excited when I finally ordered these two love birds as a Christmas gift to myself! (One of two!!) Viktorija sent my necklace out straight away and it turned up in a lovely gift box. Im so delighted with this necklace and I'm finding out that it goes with a lot more outfits. This is the first outfit I wore my new necklace with but when I'm not dressing up I love to wear it with a striped burton top. The necklace compliments that style of top very well. I can't wait to pair this necklace up with summer dresses too. I'm really looking forward to summer, not just for the sun ( go away rain!) but because this year my dear friend Danni who also has ME has invited me to go to Greece with her, her mum and a few of her friends. I've not been on holiday out of the uk since I was 8! Until the weather gets warmer though, I will enjoy wearing velvet and knits, a consolation for the cold grey sky and heavy rain.

  2. What a cute idea, I'd have never thought of designing on shrink plastic (not that I can draw at all!) but it looks adorable. Also, your shoes are amazing.

  3. This necklace is beautiful. It's like wearing a little piece of art. I love how you've paired it with a wintery outfit and I can see it would be great with summer dresses too. Such a great Christmas present to yourself!
