betty blue

New hair and a new dress. To go with my new age! (I'm 21 now, you guys! Entering proper grown up territory!) Hair by superhero Bee of Peggy Sue's and dress by Kling courtesy of delightful online shop Pretty Dress.

Can I tell you guys a secret? That's not really a secret, just something I feel like telling you? So I'm not even sure why I prefaced with that? Anyway? I've always wanted a dress with a heart-shaped cut out. To the point where I've considered attempting some heart-shaped DIY. And me attempting DIY beyond handmade birthday cards is a Bad. Idea. Hence my glee when this dress entered my life in a whirl of light blue and polka dots.

This is a CUTE dress. Though super lightweight, which I fear may translate to flimsy after a lot of wear (but for now just equals 'good for summer!') However I wore it to my graduation and it survived that so perhaps it is stronger than I am giving it credit for. ANYWAY, THE HEART. AND THE DOTS. AND THE HEART. Have some photos of me enjoying said heart and dots:

LuShae jewellery

And now for something slightly different... the lovely Sarah of LuShae Jewellery recently contacting me about reviewing a product and who am I to say no? This is not something I'm used to and made me feel quite special, so points scored before I even visited the shop :)

Tough choice but I went with these vintagey-type earrings, which is something I've been on the lookout for recently. Hello perfect timing!

So...

Quality: good. Very good. Maximum shininess and sparklarity. (Too technical? Sorry.) Ten out of ten for prettiness. And they're pretty damn photogenic, am I right?

Packaging/ shipping: they were shipped almost immediately and didn't take too long to arrive. The packaging though was very basic, at the very least a business card or something similar included would have been great. And maybe some ribbon or pretty paper - presentation goes a long way.

Website: easy to navigate. Plus there are guides to the history of jewellery, gemstones, metals and how to store and clean jewellery. Which, I'm going to be honest, would all be new information to me.

Overall... I've fallen a little in love with these earrings. If you're after something a bit fancy and don't want to spend a bucketload, give LuShae a look. Yay!

P.S. The earrings were complimentary but these are my honest to blog opinions.

P.P.S. Apologies for the limited updates recently; my camera had a slight mental breakdown. But all is good now and I'm back in full force! Yeah!
