Review: Fashion Union Judy Biker Jacket
Saturday, March 29, 2014
I picked this gorgeous jacket from Fashion Union (through EtailPR) to review. Even though this item was sent for review it does not change my opinion of the brand/product. I have reviewed an item from Fashion Union previously, click here to read the post.
I have the *Fashion Union Judy Oversized Faux Fur Collar Biker Jacket (£60) in a size S, Small. I have a couple of biker jackets but they are not like this one, it is just gorgeous! I love the style, the fur collar and the fit is fantastic. It also feels very well made and thick. I am a UK size 8/10 for jackets and a size Small fits very well, I am really happy with the fit.
I think the jacket is supposed to be a bit cropped but as I am really tiny at 4ft 10 inches it is almost normal length on me. I would have preferred it to be slightly longer but that is my only complain about this jacket. I love the grey tweedesque material and the super soft faux fur collar. There is also a soft furry lining too which makes it a really warm, cosy and practical jacket. I have paired the jacket with my Dorothy Perkins Petite Skinny jeans, a primark black cami and my Asos ankle boots. I think this jacket would also look great with black jeans or a basic skater dress and boots.
Overall, I am extremely happy with this jacket! I love the design, fit, quality and it is super warm/cosy. I cannot recommend this jacket enough and even though it is a bit expensive, I think it is worth it and I will definitely get a lot of wear out of it!You can check out more items from Fashion Union, here. Also Fashion Union currently offer 15% off for students. ★★★★★, this jacket is easily a 5/5 for me!
Have you bought anything from Fashion Union before? What do you think of this jacket?

Review: Black Tied Hammered Circle Necklace
Friday, February 28, 2014
I was kindly given a 20% off code by Black Tied last week and I treated myself to a gorgeous simple silver necklace, even though I was given a money off code this does not affect my opinion of the brand/product, for more information on PR and my disclaimer, click here.
I chose the Black Tied Hammered Silver Circle Pendant Necklace (£16). I have been looking out for a circle necklace like this for months, I had seen a few on Etsy that I liked but they were a little expensive especially with shipping so this is a great find. The necklace was delivered quickly, it was padded/protected and it was also gift wrapped in leopard print paper which was a nice touch and it also means that you could give it to someone as a gift straight away - which is great if you cannot wrap presents at all like me!
The only jewellery I really wear is silver and very simple/minimalistic which is definitely what this gorgeous necklace is. I love the thin silver chain which isn't too long which I find is a problem with some necklaces as I am petite. I also love the hammered effect on the silver circle which makes it look simple but unique. It isn't heavy, it really goes with everything from a stripe tee and skinny jeans to a little black dress and heels. I love this necklace and I can tell that I am going to be wearing it a lot! Overall, I am very happy with the service, delivery and the item itself. ★★★★★, 5/5.
Review: Blossom & Jasmine Candle
Thursday, February 27, 2014
I won these two candles in a recent competition hosted by Sophias Choice, I was able to pick the scent - I chose 'Smart & Delicious'. I did not buy these candles, my opinions are my own. Before this competition I hadn't heard of Sophias Choice or Blossom & Jasmine but I am definitely more and more interested in soy candles.
I have the small travel size Blossom & Jasmine 'Smart & Delicious' Candle which is priced at £11, the medium/1 wick is £25 and the largest 2 wick size is £30. The candles were beautifully packaged and presented with mint green paper, ribbons and rose buds! Gorgeous presentation from Sophias Choice (a stockist of Blossom & Jasmine and the host of the competition I won).
The candles are natural, soy and the 'smart and delicious' scent has key notes of: jasmine, patchouli and neroli, all of which I love. The scent is gorgeous musky/floral and I imagine Hogwarts smells like this candle, it has a magical/mysterious scent, if that makes sense! The candle burns well, it burns slowly so it will last ages and the wax melts right up to the sides of the glass tumbler so all of the wax will be melted/used. I adore the scent but I wish it was stronger, it is a bit subtle in my opinion and for me personally but a larger version may be stronger. Overall, I am very happy with the delivery from Sophias Choice, the scent of the candle and the quality. ★★★★★, 5/5.
Have you tried Blossom & Jasmine candles before? Have you heard of Sophias Choice?
Review: Delilah Dust Jewellery
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
I was very kindly sent three lovely items from Delilah Dust, a cute online jewellery store based in the UK, for more information on PR and my disclaimer, click here. I haven't bought anything from this store before but I have heard very positive reviews and all of the items look fantastic, to see more, click here.
*Wire Wrapped Crystal Quartz Point Necklace (£10): How gorgeous is this necklace, I love the silver chain and clear quartz as it means that the necklaces goes with all outfits, from a striped tee and jeans to a little black dress! I love the detail of the metal wrapped around the quartz. The necklace is really well made and in my opinion, well worth the price. ★★★★★, 5/5.
Overall, I am really happy with my Delilah Dust items - they came nicely packaged so you could just give them as gifts and the items themselves are well made and gorgeously simple but unique! I will definitely keep Delilah Dust in mind for jewellery for myself and family/friends.
