Diary of a Fashion Fanatic

Over the next week or so I'm going to do a series of 'Top 5' posts - picking my current top 5 favourite pieces in everything from bags to bras and denim to dresses. First up, one of my ultimate jewellery must-haves .... Rings.

Top L-R - Me & Zena £14, ASOS Limited Edition £11, Ottoman Hands - £39
Bottom L-R - Zoe & Morgan £77, Kukee £3.50

I know that the Boho Stack Rings from Kukee are a little bit cheeky as technically there is 5 rings in that set alone, but they'e all so cute and wearable I couldn't possibly leave them out! The Ottoman Hands single stone ring is so stunningly beautiful I was shocked to find out it was only £39, such a bargain. The Zoe & Morgan love ring is top of my wishlist right now though, so super cute and wearable - it would fit in perfectly with my current day-to-day rings!

Which of these little beauties is your favourite?

Check back to see what 'Top 5' I will be posting next! 

I am lucky enough to be interning at Lowie, a super cute ethical clothing brand based in London. Being surrounded by their amazing pieces every week is too much for a girl to bear without treating herself every now and then, so I decided it was about time I invested in some of their trademark Turkish socks. 

These socks were the first item the company sold way back in 2002, and they are still a firm favourite with Lowie-loving fashionistas to this day. All of the socks are totally unique and feature varying patterns and colours, hand-knitted by ladies in Turkey.

Aside from being the ultimate snug bed sock, these amazing knitted beauties are the best boot sock I have ever found. No longer will I have to wear 3 pairs of socks to make my Dr. Martens comfortable - Lowie has it covered. Treat yourself to one pair and you will soon be addicted.

Film reviews are not something I do very often, however yesterday I had a day of such polar opposite film experiences I just had to tell you all about it.

 

On the one hand, I wanted to write about a film that I really enjoy - The Rum Diary. I love the music, I love the cars, and I love the power couple that is Johnny Depp and Amber Heard (supposedly the film where their relationship began off screen). Set in the 60's in Puerto Rico, the film follows Depp as he joins the San Juan Star newspaper and falls head first into the lure of the Puerto Rican lifestyle. Sun, sea and sand is everywhere, along with a whole lot of rum - and did I mention Amber Heard? What's not to like?

On the other hand, I also watched To Rome With Love. A film in which there is absolutely nothing to love. The storyline, or lack of storyline, is abysmal, supposedly following the lives of 4 sets of strangers in Rome. The only thing this film did achieve is to severely drop Ellen Page and Jesse Eisenberg in my estimations, with the only vaguely amusing thing being Penelope Cruz as a prostitue. A whole lot of cheesy Italian background music did nothing to help the situation. The end result was nearly 2 hours of my life I will never get back - take my advice, dont waste your time.
