Embellish Boldly

Well this week sees the introduction of more sparkles into 

our boutique just in time for Santa to start taking notes ;-)

These gorgeous pieces are by a Greek designer whose designs

have been in Vogue magazine and Deluxe magazine ( to name a few).

It was simply by chance we came into contact; she contacted me

and asked me to look at her portfolio and I "dangerously"

fell in love with everything ;-)

These are just the first lot of designs added this week to our boutique.

There are plenty more on their way.

All the ring designs have a matching pendant and are all exquisitely crafted

in silver, gold vermeil and embellished with Swarovski crystals.

Each design is made to order.

These pieces will really turn heads this party season (and 

for all the right reasons ;-)

This will be in our boutique later this week

I am offering my blog readers a $60 discount off any piece

for a very limited time.

Your discount code is AMARIS-60 and your

discount code expires on  Sunday 9 NOVEMBER.

So if you are interested get your

little booty over here

I would love to know what you think of  my new offerings

and also just how your week has been

The Wonders Of This Week

I seem to be writing more and more of these types of

post as I start to take notice of all the 

"wonders" around me (it's a really nice feeling too ;-)

This week saw the joy of:

*"I see! I get it!"

*long phone calls with your BFF about nothing

*the joy of conversations (with BFF) which

are impossible for others to understand ;-)

*the joy of Godiva chocolate and crocanti dipped

strawberries bought for me by "Hubalicious"

*the joy of being in the flow;losing all 

sense of time and place

*the joy of being on a "news-diet" for the last

5+ years and knowing I made the right decision

* the joy of finding the last designer label sweater

in your size AND color

* the joy of  open fires and warm textiles

* the joy of taking of your heels off after a LONG day

*the joy of just being cosy

*the joy of feeling everything eventually connects

*the joy of  online shopping ;-)

Do share some of your "wonders/joys" this week

Happy Weekend Lovelies

Wise Words

These are just some of the wise words

I "try" (try being the operative ;-)

to live by.

This was very much my Mum's mentality (even when we were 

at school). There was just no way I could play hooky ;-)

This mentality has subsequently stayed with me and helped me achieve

so many things I thought were impossible.

Don't you just wish more people would do this?

This quote sums up one of my biggest fears in life.

What wise words do you try to live by?

p.s despite losing my Mum at a very young age to cancer

I NEVER support cancer charities. Pop over to this post

I wrote last year that proved quite controversial and read

why ;-)

The Wonders Of This Week

Those of you who have followed me for a while

know that Autumn is really one of my favorite seasons.

I have lived in a country that really only had 2 seasons- 

Winter and Summer. This really made me appreciate the wonders

of Autumn.

Here are some of  the joys  of my week.

* long walks in the forest with only the crunch

of the leaves for company

* flushed, cold cheeks

*revisiting old books and finding

hidden gems you missed the first time around

* homemade, rustic comfort food

*an excuse to wear cashmere

(and waiting anxiously for

notification from Catherine Robinson

that my cashmere poncho is back in stock)

*listening to the rain beating against my bedroom

window and knowing I don't have to get up

just yet if I don't want to

*going back to my luxurious creamy

face creams (who I unfaithfully ditched

during the warmer months).

Body oils, hair oils, facial oils,

home fragrance oils, olive oil,,,,,,,,,,

Autumn makes we want to break out the 

oils (of every description).

*the joy of always having someone to share

things with

* the joy of receiving an unexpected gift

*the joy of watching my garden slowly start to

"shut down" for the winter

*hot chocolate

*seeing 2 of my new ring designs in production

and feeling like  a new mother about to give birth

(OK, I know it's not quite the same ;-)

*rainbows

*the cake that emerged golden and beautifully dome

shaped, and stayed that way

*decadent TV

Stunning Madeira Garnet earrings available here

Happy Weekend

How true is this?

I DO  have plans though: 

*catching up on all my magazine reading (and 

coming to terms with the fact that there is no longer

a chance for me to be Mrs Clooney :-(

*catching up on last weeks episode of Downton Abbey and 

Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares

*trawling through my recipe books for warming 

Autumn recipes

*lunch with my bestie on Saturday

*lunch with my Daddy on Sunday

*packing away Summer clothes (I can't pretend anymore

we are having an Indian summer)

*no technology........OK, maybe just Instagram ;-)

What about you?

Have a lovely one whatever you are doing
