Monogram Initial Necklace

I received this necklace for my birthday last weekend and I literally haven't taken it off since!

Bought for just under £30 from MyNameNecklace here (click!) this necklace is sterling silver and bears three of my initials. I think this is on an 18" chain - it's pretty sturdy even though it looks dainty. I really like this necklace as it compliments everything I wear and falls just at the right height on my chest.

This comes in a selection of metals including rose gold and you can also get a Swarovski gem attached too.

My only criticism (which is teeny tiny) is that I have 4 initials in my name and I'd love to have been able to have all four on the necklace but I do really like how big the middle letter is compared to the two around it, and that wouldn't be possible with four letters.

I can't wait to get a few more from MyNameNecklace.co.uk in the future!

Laura Gravestock Silver Written Heart Ring from Cotton & Gems

I have been lusting after this gorgeous ring for months - it's tiny and delicate and exactly what I would like to wear on my right hand ring finger....so that is exactly what I have done with it after receiving it from my fantastic boyfriend on Saturday!

I am a ring size J or K on the pictured finger (p.s. I do have finger tips I have just bent my fingers in that photo!) which is relatively small but Cotton and Gems could still provide a perfect fit for me.

I adore the Written Collection by Laura Gravestock and there are also matching earrings and necklaces to complete the look. You can buy your own from Cotton and Gems here (click!) or from Laura Gravestock here (click!). Personally I prefer silver rings but this also comes in 18ct Gold and Rose Gold and both are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much to Tim for this beautiful gift, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

New Zara Bag!

On a night when the men of my house have taken over the TV for the England match and my boyfriend is at work.... what better to do than blog about my new, fantastic, beautiful bag from Zara! 

I am 100% in love with it and I want everyone to know!

Purse: Ted Baker £69 (link)

Bag: Zara £29.99 (link)

I took this photo earlier in the week when I was thinking of doing a "What's In My Bag" post but I realised after I'd taken it that I only had my purse and my car keys in there after work!

I bought the bag last week for £29.99 and I've used it every day since. I love the cream and brown together and the little gold studs and clasps on the handles really compliment it. It's a size "medium" but I'd say it's smaller than most of my other bags. Saying that, I took it to Ikea with me yesterday and came home having managed to fit in an alarm clock in as well as the rest of my day-to-day items (phone, purse, keys, sunglasses and make-up bag) so it's by no means small. 

It also has a shoulder strap as well as the top handles so you can wear it either way depending on your preference. The base is the same brown leather-esque material as the handles so you don't have to worry about getting dirty marks on the bottom when you put it down.

I've had compliments on it since I bought it and I always say where I bought it from incase they're after it. 

It comes with either brown detailing or black/charcoal detailing. My decision was based on what it would look best with in my wardrobe!

Are there any bags you think are a must have this Autumn??
