Jewellery Heartst♥pper: Gold-Hearted.


















Today's Jewellery Heartstopper is the to-die-for Gold-Hearted range!


Colorful rope pieces, natural stones, gold, and silver, all handmade with love by me. This collection is largely inspired by art history and nature, both of which I love to explore and study.


I adore this collection! I've never seen anything like it. What I love is that the pieces seem elegant yet casual at the same time, like the kind of thing you can wear every day that someone will notice and comment on.Created by Michelle Meronek, Gold-Hearted is for the fun-loving girl, adding that extra something to an outfit. I adore the necklaces and the knotted bracelets!


Have you noticed the huge shift back to yellow gold and colour blocking in jewellery design lately? I can imagine pairing the black bracelet with a red dress, some gorgeous heels and a smoky eye. Gold-Hearted definitely gets the Heartstop stamp of approval.


You can buy these pieces on Etsy (here) but take a peek at Michelle's lovely blog here, and be inspired.

Jewellery Heartst♥pper: Thula.






Isn't this stuff amazing? I came across Thula a little while back and I'm excited to post about it. Each piece is handmade by Jessica, with a focus on strength and durability and the pieces are guaranteed not to bend or buckle over time. Well-made jewellery is SO hard to come by. But Thula is about more than that, the pieces are fun and modern, focussed on simple designs that will transcend beyond the look of the moment. Jessica adores working with clients and does custom orders, made to fit your style and personality perfectly. My favourite piece? The ring at the top - super chic!


Check out other Jewellery Heartstoppers!

My ♥ stopped when I saw these.


That ring is exquisite! I'm loving these colours for winter actually, change the shorts (the lovely shorts) for some dark blue jeans, add a gorgeous leather jacket (this one) and you're good to go. Love, LOVE this look.

Jewellery Heartst♥pper: Antique Fusion.

Recently I had the pleasure of coming across Antique Fusion Jewellery. The line is an exquisite mix of old and new (as the name suggests) making every piece both a return to 'old-world glamour' and a tribute to contemporary design.

THIS RING IS ONE OF MY FAVES!



Anne-Michelle is the creative mind behind Antique Fusion. I read that one of her great enjoyments is searching through antique shops to find inspiration for these stunning pieces (love that!). Little details make you dream to a time gone by - so romantic!

My ♥ stopped when I saw Kate today.

And that got me thinking about the long-sleeved wedding dress. I thought the whole Royal Wedding affair was very dreamy and I am definitely converted to the idea of this vintage look. Her dress draws beautiful parallels with Grace Kelly's, worn in 1956.
Only on Kate it looked very different. Kate is understated and she has quiet confidence.  


THE LADY OF THE HOUR
THE LEGENDARY MISS GRACE
ANON AND BEAUTIFUL IN VINTAGE


Yes, I think the verdict has been reached, I say 'I do' to this fairy-tail look, because we all deserve a fairy-tail.

My ♥ stopped when I saw these scarves.

My ♥ stopped at Still Life.

So I was lucky enough to leave work at 4pm on Tuesday. A whole hour to savor before the shops closed. Naturally I made my way to one of my fave spots - Still Life on Long Street. I adore the fabrics in this store and was delighted to find some patterns I hadn't seen before. 



BUNNIES EVERYWHERE AT THE MOMENT. TOO CUTE.




LOVE THAT BICYCLE. WANT THIS ONE FOR MY STUDY.











The only annoying thing about this store is that I want everything in it. I have to ration my visits.
