I'd like to introduce you to the lovely Crown and Glory. Created by the rather wonderful Sophie King, the fledgling company specialises in all things hair! Inspired by nature, fashion and art, Crown and Glory creates hand-made hair accessories, including hairbands, fascinators, clips, barettes and combs. Custom orders are very welcome! I personally have my eyes on the poppy head band as a must for summer head wear! Please take a look at her work, the Crown and Glory shop can be found here and on facebook and twitter. I'll keep you updated with new pieces as they're made available! Enjoy! x

Wallpaper Rose Jewellery has just been featured on Constance Victoria's blog! The stunning Connie is modeling WRJ's Reike. The Reike necklace features a large gold tone key, hung with a rocking horse charm, rose cabochon and small Swarovski crystal. This is definitely a statement piece. Connie's a friend of mine, whose fashion blog is rocketing to fame, combining the perfect blend of fashion and photography, it's a great blog to follow and well worth a look! x

Ahhh, you knew it was coming! The Wimbledon necklace is here. Trust me, if I could have found tiny strawberries and small cucumber sandwiches- I would have! But I had to resort to representation, a strawberry and tennis ball, in the colours of strawberries and cream... Anyway, I hope you like it, I'll attach a link when it hits the website... Kirsten.

Shamefully, I know next to nothing about tennis- other than I was awful at it at school, but truthfully I know little about any sport (Unless it's Guyball).... I'm not prejudice in my ignorance. However I do get strangely drawn into the finals... an attraction that will never be there for football. However this time of year does remind me how much I like to watch Paul Bettany running around in tennis shorts and eating cucumber on bagels...

Hope everyone is well.

The Silver Edition is something I'm currently testing on a trial basis on the website. These three necklaces are all made using 100% Sterling Silver charms, chains and components. It makes the price tag a little weightier, but I know some people are very particular with the kinds of metal they can wear. I also couldn't resist the beautiful detailing on these charms - the tea pot lid is even movable! These necklaces all use real fresh water pearls, too.

I'm still trying to get hold of an 'old woman who lives in a shoe' charm - The boot opens to reveal a small family!

Please come along to celebrate the launch of Photo Art 2010's book, PRESENT!

It showcases the work of new graduate artists from the BA (Hons) Photographic Art course at the University of wales, Newport.

It's would be great to see you there, it's going to be an amazing night!

I'm sure most of you have heard of the rather lovely Motel, taking the internet by storm with their beautiful, vintage inspired dresses and apparel, also to be located in their Flag Ship store in Bristol. I'm very lucky to currently have a selection of Wallpaper Rose Jewellery in their store, amidst their clothing and vintage finds. With their website being one I regularly visit, swooning over the pretty dresses I can't currently afford, I thought I might start a regular feature, teaming some of my favourite dresses with some of my favourite pieces of WR jewellery. I'd love to know what you think!

Today's feature is the Jean Dress, it combines a comfortable high-waisted cotton jersey skirt, with a slightly looser vest top. As Motel says, it's the perfect day to night dress, changed merely with accessories, working perfectly with a denim jacket or blazer and costing £35.

The first is a peach and black polka dot 19050's version, which I've teamed with Mabel. Mabel features a small pocket watch in antique gold with a rose detail on the front, this is hung on a long chain, with small rose and heart charms, and pale white Swarovski crystal. The lenght also makes it ideal to team with further necklaces, should you desire the layered look!

The second look is for all those sea-fairing lovers, the nautical look is still here to stay and perfect for the summer. The navy blue skirt and striped top combo works perfectly with Tabitha, again a long necklace, with large anchor charm, small rose and a pacific ocean Swarovski crystal all hung from a pearl.

The third and final look today is the black lace Jean dress, currently on special offer to all Motel Rock's VIP members (just sign up to the website, and receive regular updates on special offers and new stock!). The pretty lace top makes it perfect for a sophisticated night out, and possibly an instant classic with 'little black dress' status. This dress is so versatile that it would have pretty much suited any of Wallpaper Rose's jewellery, but I decided upon pairing it with Pearl. A little book locket, hung with a key, heart, Swarovski crystal and pearl, I feel the muted metal shades really work well with the dress's subtle detail.

Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying the sun - I'm planning a cup of tea sat outside, then back on with unpacking my bomb site of a room! x
