Monica Vinader // Fiji Bracelet


Here is my cheeky, CHEEKY splurge from this month, oohh how pretty! For a good couple of weeks I couldn't decide whether to take the plunge and buy this bracelet, but then I decided that if I was still drooling over it after that long it was worth it. There are so many colour variations of the Fiji bracelet on the Monica Vinader website that it did take me a while to choose. I ended up going for the sterling silver as my other 'every day' jewellery is silver, although the rose gold ones look amazing as well. When I first started looking at them I thought I would get the cream cord, but then figured that if I was going to have a naughty splurge then I might as well get something a little bit different and bold - hence the fluoro pink, which is actually the nicest shade! I'm sooooo happy with it, the quality is very good, the silver is really shiny and polished and the pink gives it a little pop of color. Now, could we take a moment and just appreciate the packaging of this wee treat? It is literally the nicest packaged item I've ever received. Layers and layers of MV embossed tissue paper, a gift card, a gift bag, more tissue paper, and the wee magnet lid box - oh the small pleasures in life! All in all I feel pretty damn special wearing this bracelet, the only downside is that now I have visions of lots of these stacked on my wrist, in all different colors...dangerous territory.

Anyone else out there love themselves a bit of Monica Vinader? :)

Wishlist: Marc Jacobs

1. Logo Disc Stud Earrings / 2. Classic Q Slim Zip Wallet / 3. Daisy Stud Earrings / 4. Huggie Hoops / 5. Skinny Logo Bangle
(All Marc by Marc Jacobs from Shopbop.com)

I was having a cheeky wee browse on Shopbop today and found myself getting totally immersed in the Marc Jacobs jewellery collection, and some accessories. I'm really into quite simple, dainty and fine jewellery at the moment and I think these pieces are so cute and wearable. They are not over designed or too 'blingy' or tacky, they are just right. Usually, or I guess in the past, I have never been very into gold but after getting my Michael Kors gold watch I began to like it. I really like the gold and cream/white combination of these and think they are so timeless and effortless, and easily styled for both summer or winter. 
The wallet is the odd one out here, but I've been searching for a nice wallet for a while. This one is very similar to a Michael Kors one I fell in love with, it's basically the same but it had rose gold hardware instead of gold like this one. I love it, but I'm just not sure if I'm ready to spend this much on a wallet, just yet...mind you I can talk myself into buying almost anything, but for now I am restraining myself! (fingers crossed) 

Really all I have to say is damn you Marc Jacobs and damn you Shopbop for making all these so available to me, as now I may just have to treat myself to one of these beauts next pay day which means saving my pennies may have to once again be postponed for a bit...
