Item of the week..

29.6.11

Hello Beauties,

Hope you enjoyed the heat wave over the weekend.. the sun was out for 3 days in a row, bliss..... sheer Bliss. Sunshine = Season Change and Season Change = Summer Sale.
Everyday my mail box is bombarded with newsletters, 70% off shoes/clothes , free next day delivery, buy one get free, preview the sale, be first in line for the next 48 hours blah blah blah and everything else you can think of, I feel so harassed, yes i do.

So, I have avoided Zara for the past few weeks, erm i eventually gave in, popped into Zara with a friend and i could not resist these bad boys. It was half price, yay me!!! I am a certified Bargain Hunter. 

Timeless Piece



Have a great week guys :-)

Love

Lyds xx

Its been a longggggg time, i had exams and a lot of work to do. However glad to be back woop woop.

Black magic ?!?!?  yes! black works wonders for me, anything black makes life easy, simply because you can wear black with a lot of other colours and that just makes getting dressed fun.

With Love from Tink Jewelery...

Good evening darlings,
Ever thought of bespoke jewelry ? Please read on xoxo

Tell your story of style through Tink.
Tink Jewellery is a unique collection of handmade pieces that inspire confidence and individuality for both women and men.
Tink was started only two years ago by Nike Ademuyiwa through a love for jewellery and the want to create something that is personal and beautiful to share with others. For Tink, wearing a piece of jewellery should tell a story, be that of love or life. Nike draws her inspiration from nature and passion for style. Her Nigerian background also offers much motivation and shapes the ideas behind much of the recent collection; strength, courage and boldness. 
The recent collection has something for every occasion, be that a party or just coffee with friends. This chic and wearable jewellery reflects a personal story for all its wearers. Whatever mood you are in, tell it with Tink Jewellery. A favourite among the collection is the Half Egg pieces, taking inspiration from objects around her; Nike incorporated the shape of a fruit bowl into these beautiful pieces, to create a quirky and feminine pendant. Telling a story through style is what Tink is all about, therefore a personal touch is very important and so Tink is proud to offer bespoke pieces for its wearers.
All the jewellery is handmade in the UK and based in London. Tink is a member of the British Jewellers Association and was shortlisted for Professional Jeweller Magazine competition. Tink Jewellery exhibited at International Jewellery London last year for the two year running.
Whatever your story, let Tink Jewellery tell it for you.
