Handmade or Mass Produced?


Loving the accessories in Topshop at the moment, particularly this tartan necklace (recently featured in Glamour magazine)…which is pretty similar to my own necklaces.

Thought I would promote it, mainly because it is very nice, but also because everything is about choice. Do you choose to buy the mass produced, throwaway variety worn by every student this side of Brick Lane, OR, be a little more discerning with your accessory choices and choose something that is literally a few pounds more expensive, but lovingly handmade in Scotland?

The choice is yours. I choose not to choose mass produced!



Not in Vogue, but in sync with Vogue!


Ok, so I’m pretty in with the Cotton Candy Corsage crowd, which is why I’m often talking about how amazing, fantastical and wondrous the accessories are - caught. But I’d like to say that the latest collection of over-sized, super-wow necklaces are right on track with a recent trend feature in the February issue of Vogue.

The theme: cars, vintage travel, transport

The fabrics: Liberty-prints mixed in with some delightful, child-like cottons

The designs:

I can’t wait for a trip on the Orient Express now…
