Olivia Burton Watch

I have had my beady eyes on one of these for so long now, so when I was asked what I would like for my 30th birthday, this made the top of the list.

Olivia Burton watches have caught my eye for a long time now with their gorgeous vintage faces and classic styling, that after spending several lunch hours browsing and falling in love with the collections I managed to narrow down my choice.

It was a hard decision to make and I was definitly torn between the woodland butterfly or one of the animal motifs. But in the end I fell in love with the simplicity of the hummingbird.

The watches are a little bit more expensive then I would usually pay for a watch or expect someone to spend (my good old £30 Casio had a good life), but I thought a watch is a signature piece that will last for a long time and something I could treasure and remember a great birthday from.

On the big birthday my mum proudly handed over the square shaped box and I may have done a little girly squeal when I tore off the wrapping paper to reveal the gorgeous green box underneath.

The ivory leather strap has a cracked weathered effect and is sure to go with almost anything I wear and I just love wearing it.

This particular watch was purchased through Topshop.com through one of their online concessions but you can view the full Olivia Burton Watch collection here www.oliviaburton.com

However if you are an Instagram addict like myself then you can check out the range here www.instagram.com/oliviaburtonwatches

Inkkas Shoes

Woohoo was the sound I made when I received these beauties for my birthday from my friends at work.

I blogged a few months ago about my love of Inkkas shoes and how I was dying to get my grubby little paws on a pair and hooray now I do!!!

Inkkas is a company that was born during a backpacking trip to South America in 2012. Danny Ben-Nun, a designer and an avid traveler, was wandering through the alleyways of Cusco - Peru, when he discovered a pair shoes made from authentic, local fabrics. The shoes were so beautiful that he knew from the moment he laid eyes on them, that he had to help bring the product to the global market. 

After browsing through their collection I set my heart on this Shadow pair. 

I loved them before I even opened the box with their simplistic design and packaging telling a little story about the brand and its heritage. 

The company also supports the OneShoeOneTree project which means that for every one pair of shoes sold, one tree is replanted back into the Amazon rainforest in the battle against De-forestation.

Another hidden little gem is that on the soles of each shoe it carries the pattern of the Andes mountains and the Andes cross. Having fallen in love with Peru back in July (see my Cusco Post) this little touch made me love these shoes even more.

You can buy Inkkas direct via their website or on Topshop, USC and Schuh.

You can also follow them on Instagram here - http://instagram.com/inkkasshoes

Daniela Sigurd Bracelet

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world at the moment after being showered with amazing gifts and kind words for my birthday.

I may feature of few of the gifts I received on my blog, so first up is this gorgeous bracelet from Daniela Sigurd courtesy of my Step Brother and Step Sister.

Daniela describes herself as a 'Dog loving Scandinavian jewellery designer based in Brick Lane, London'.

The great thing about Daniela's jewellery is that it can be personalised to the recipients tastes.

The blue ditzy print fabric from Liberty's makes for the perfect adjustable charm bracelet. My love of cats is also immortalised with this pearlescent cat charm and a gold effect initial. 

Her website also carries this great quote about the inspiration behind the collections. 'Taking inspiration from travels, animals, the symbols and meanings of charms, we want our jewellery to have a sense of fun, be quirky and feminine at the same time and feel personal to you'.

I definitly feel like that about my bracelet. I love it!!

Do you like any of the pieces in Danielas collection?
