BLOODY MARY METAL WINTERSPELL COLLECTION

Hey gorgeous readers and welcome back or hello if this is your first time here. 

I have an exciting Cornwall-based jewellery brand to share with you today. Lucy Wilson is creator, director, jeweller and designer of the fantastic Bloody Mary Metal jewellery brand. Since launching in 2012 BMM has become popular with fashion giants ASOS , MOTEL, OH MY LOVE LONDON, celebrities, stylists and magazines including British Vogue. 

Previous BMM collections

Heavy Metal: A hard edged collection with a London-built attitude based heavily on the sounds of heavy metal and rock 'n' roll. This really put BMM on the fashion map.

Arcane Love: Reflecting Lucy's change in lifestyle on returning to her Cornish roots. An enchanting collection of secret symbols, historical signs and alchemy.

Dream Weavers and Sinners and Sailors: Based around Cornwall's roots these collections embody the tales of sailors lost at sea while dream catchers hung above the beds of the women they left behind.

Luna Tribe: A more mature and intensely striking collection inspired by Cornish history, tarot and the treasures sought by pirates of the Cornish coast.

I had an invite only pass to view the BMM Winterspell Collection at the Abandon Ship Apparel Store in Soho on Thursday evening. It was the perfect setting.

An amazingly mystical and spiritual collection with winter accents reflected in the antlers and arrow snowflake.

I love the decor. Later on the lights were switched off as candles and fairy lights captured the essence of the night.

BMM decorated cupcakes were munched away along with macaroons and some awesome chocolate. All soothed back with bubbly or cloudy lemonade.

Prior to the event I was asked to measure my ring size. Waiting for all attendees on a Xmas tree were our own baubles with a personalised ring inside. Mine was engraved with my initial 'V' and a heart. I love it! To create your own personalised ring which can be stacked check out this link! It would make a great Xmas pressie. 

There is a GIFT WRAP & CHRISTMAS CARD option too as well as a BMM GUIDE TO CHOOSING THAT RING! I have been given one of these which I might just pop in someones work bag with my ring size written on in time for Xmas ;)

There is a RING RE-SIZE SERVICE if you don't want to spoil the surprise. If however you are treating yourself a RING SIZER is available to ensure all purchases fit well.

We were all given our own personalised LARGE, HEAVY DUTY 12OZ TOTE BAG too. Mine included the SNOWFLAKE RING, a cracker with 3 SINGLE CHARM THREADBARES, 2 packs of BMM X DIY NAILS DECALS one being the WINTER NAIL DECALS, BMM stickers, a personalised notebook with pen and an ABANDON SHIP F U BUDDY BEANIE HAT. Mine is burgundy, but I could only find the black online.

I have also been given a 15% off BMM GIFT VOUCHER which I can share with you lovelies to use throughout Dec 2014. Use code VICKY15 when making your purchase!

CageCity Blogger Competition

Hey again today my loves. I have been browsing the CageCity website recently and they have lots of really funky and creative clothing items that I like. I noticed on Instagram that CageCity are having blogger competition where the winner gets to spend £120 on the CageCity website. I am certainly up for that so first things first I picked the item that I kept going back to on the CageCity website which is the Stylestalker Holographic Dress ~ £140.00

I like it's structured, futuristic style that looks to be a very flattering shape. It appears quite revealing on first glance, but it has a nude lining so keeps modesty in tact while still looking sexy.

I have partnered this with the ASOS Passing Me By Platforms ~ £55.00 as they have the kind of punch out style shown in the dress.

For an ultra cool addition I love this Missguided Marty Embellished Biker Jacket ~ £74.99

Jewellery accessories that would add to the futuristic factor of this look are these beauties. The Topshop Triangle Ring ~ £7.50

and this Topshop Silver Metal Cuff ~ £12.50

For a finishing touch to this stylish sci-fi inspired outfit I would add this Boohoo Boutique Emma Suede Metallic Panel Clutch ~ £20.00

So that's my spaced out look baby. If you are interested in taking part in this CageCity blogger competition please see the rules in this link!

I believe the competition ends tomorrow Sunday 24th November so hurry if you want to enter!

Good luck to those that do :)

Even if you are not going to enter this competition let me know your favourite CageCity items in the comments below. Also I would love to know your thoughts on my outfit above.

Love to you all

My Necklaces & How I Hang Them

Hi lovelies. I hope you are well today. I had a good sort through my jewellery recently and thought it might interest some of you to see what I have and how I store it. I am going to split my jewellery collection and storage into a few posts so that it's not a massive and boring post for you guys. I hope you like it :)

These are my gold chain necklaces. If I remember correctly these are from Primark, Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Dorothy Perkins & River Island.

These are my silver necklaces. I believe these were from Primark & Superdrug. The butterfly necklace was a gift from a family shop that is no longer open. The charm necklace has detachable charms that I also have a bracelet for. I got this at show on a day out with my Mum.

 

This little gem was bought by my fella for one of my birthday's. His little body and limbs move. So cute.

These are all of my random necklaces that are not silver or gold. Again I think these are from Topshop, ASOS, Primark and H&M.

This beauty is what I have hung my necklaces on. It saves them getting all tangled up which is so annoying. These hangers would be great for hanging thin scarves too. I got these in Primark. They come in black too I believe. They are just £2.00 per hanger. I have these on my clothes rail so they are great space savers.

How do you store your necklaces? Have you found any other great storage solutions in Primark? let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

 

Bargain Fashion Websites

Hey there my loves. What are you all up to on this fine Saturday? I haven't had much time to blog this week so I really wanted to sit down today and get into writing some posts. 

I have been approached by fashionvouchers.com to take part in their fashion blogger competition. The idea of this post is to tell you about the best fashion websites I have found for inexpensive shopping. The bargain shopper in me is very happy to share these with you. There are many websites I have come across and these are a variety that I have actually purchased from and/or written reviews for. They are in no particular order.

missguided.co.uk

A firm favourite of many females, especially bloggers. This website has such a cool vibe that just makes you want to be the girls in the adverts strutting around in their sexy outfits. Missguided has lots of on trend items. There are some simple separates, but a lot of va va voom pieces too. I would certainly look here for a night out dress. There is usually a very good sale on too. At the moment they have one for up to 50% off and they offer free delivery quite frequently. Here are two items I found in their sale.

 Ulani Knitted Stud Trucker Cap, £8.99

I have a thing for studs. This is an easy to throw on head piece to vamp up even the most plain outfit. Great to hide greasy roots too. I would wear this with skinny sweat pants, a cropped t-shirt and high top wedge trainers. Alternatively, a neon bodycon dress and peep toe ankle boots would work well.

Leather Collar Tartan Skater Dress, £14.99

Cute and fun, but the leather collar adds an edge. Sleeves rolled up or down. Open as many buttons at the front as you please or keep it prim as in this photo. Various belts would change this look easily too. I would style this up with a satchel, black over the knee socks and clunky ankle strap shoes.

boohoo.com

This is somewhere I shop a lot. There is always something on this site that catches my eye. You can find my most recent purchases in this post, link. There are always great reductions on this site, but even without the sales there are some very inexpensive pieces that still look on fashionable and are good quality. They currently have an up to 75% off sale. Three more fabulous sale finds.

Faye Cross Over Back Detail Maxi Dress, £12.00

This is such an elegant piece. It's sexy, yet understated. I would wear it as in the photo with a dainty necklace or reverse it with the cross over at the front and wear a bright bandeau underneath for 2 dresses in 1. 

Lola Solid Colour Latina Tie Front Dress, £15.00

This is a great dress for any occasion. It has that sexy plunging neckline with a little cut out detail for those shy of exposing too much flesh. I would wear this with a gold chain choker and black flats with gold embellishment.

 

Tia Slit Shoulder Tie Dye Sweat Dress, £10.00 

I would actually cut out the middle section of the arm slits to make one open hole on each arm. I think this dress would look great too if spiked studs were added around the chest and arm areas. I would wear this with a baseball cap, converse and a rucksack.

karmaclothing.co.uk

Affordable doesn't even cover it. Bargain items are to be had here. You can view the cheap disco pants I purchased from them in this post, link. They too have a mid season sale on right now. Here are the leggings I love on the site at the moment.

  
KarmaClothing Black Pink Barbie Doll Print Leggings, £6.99

I know these will not be to everyone's taste, but I just love them. They are so fun and who doesn't love Barbie? I can see these with a plain black sweat top and high top trainers.

KarmaClothing Black Gold Stud Cross Side Panel Ankle Length Leggings, £11.99

I would wear these with black cut out heel lace up ankle boots and a slashed white t-shirt tied up at one side to show off the cross detail.

everything5pounds.com

I recently wrote a guest blog post for this website as the fashion is beyond affordable. True value for money. I have made an order with them recently and I am very happy. This blog post will be coming up soon. To view their blog check out this link. It's like a sale everyday with this website as it's already so cheap, but not in quality looking at the pieces I have ordered. They do have lots of competitions like Win A Wardrobe which is drawn weekly. The shoes capture me every time on this site.

Skull Bow & T-Bar Velour Shoes, £5.00

  

These are so cool. I would wear these with dresses, disco pants, jeans. Anything and everything really. Love, love, love!

Small Wedge Simple Faux Leather Flats, £5.00 

These would be perfect for shopping days where a colour pop is needed, especially in the summer. Blue skinny jeans, a white fitted t-shirt and red lipstick to match is all I would need for this look.

fdavenue.com

Although I haven't actually ordered anything from this site yet myself I recently reviewed one of their dresses in this blog post, link. This gave me the opportunity to be introduced to the site and find some really affordable pieces that I like. They currently have an up to 50% off sale.

Chiffon Wrap Over Playsuit In Mocha, £13.99

This piece can easily be accessorised and made to look very expensive. A gold choker and matching gold cuff would would work perfectly here accompanied by cream heels and a cream clutch.

Black Gipsy Mock Ribbed Over Knee Tights, £6.99 

These would sexy up any outfit. For a playful look I would wear these with dungaree shorts or a skater skirt with braces. Either look I would team with chunky heels and a cropped t-shirt.

asos.com

I love to scan through the pages of the asos website as there are some adorable items on there. The only fault I can say with this site is that there are so many pieces that I like and I want them all. I know that this is a very popular place to shop and I can definitely see why. Asos caters for all genders, ages and styles. There are many items on the site that appeal to me which is why I never tire of looking through the site. There is currently an up to 70% off sale too.

 

 ASOS Skater Dress With Slash Neck And Short Sleeves, £20.00

This could be such a changeable dress for day or night. Black peep toe wedges, white over the knee socks and a black bowler hat for day or a cream belt and cream court shoes for the evening.

 Glamorous Pinafore Dress In Tartan, £25.00

I would go full on school girl with this look. A white fitted shirt done all the way up with a black ribbon tie, ribbed long socks and platform shoes. Glasses would add to the look also.

I am glad that I now know about fashionvouchers.com too as it is such a useful shopping tool to assist in finding the best fashion deals out there. 

So where do you find your most affordable fashion bargains online? Do you use sites like fashionvouchers.com to find the best sites to shop on at that time? Let me know in the comments below.
