Medieval Fantasy Earrings by Vintouch

No end to shopping tipps this week -haha^^. But you'll agree at the sight of those handmade pieces of jewellery that they are something special! Found in the (private) Online Shop Vintouch - handmade and inspired by medieval artwork. Prices are reasonable! Below my shop favourites:

Flower design with coloured pearls.

Blue and gold - is there a better combination? The symbols at the pendants look mysterious.

A little more oriental: hearts and pearls.

Anything more? Yeah, I am quite annoyed with G**gle right now. When I logged into my blogger account this morning, they asked for my phone number to 'restore' my blog in case of sudden data loss. What a ploy - just yesterday I read that they are focusing now on collecting cell phone data from people and that they are already able to locate you/your phone via the number. I am really unhappy with this (and did not give my number of course). Don't give yours if they ask! With the whole G**gle Street View thing going on, I am trying to get away from them as far as possible - which primarily means changing the search engine and reduced use of my g**glemail email adress. They are crossing the limit with their schemes...

Shirt dress by Haburi: + or - ?

I stumbled upon this dress on Anna's Blog and found out that it is available over Haburi (brand: Herrlicher) for 64,90 Euro. In my opinion an interesting idea, but the price is definitely too high for my budget - so I keep telling myself that it looks like a giant undershirt, lol^^. What do you think - hot or not? Love,

Autumn Favourites at H&M 2010

Classic Grey Coat, 50 Euro.

Summer is still at its best, but H&M already provides hungry fashionistas with new inspiration for the autumn season. My favourites this year? An outfit that combines caramel, ferrari red and black together. The red blouse and the long cardigan are my most favoured picks^^. And I started to consider buying the black hat... not that I specifically like hats (aside from the small French berets I own), but I feel in the mood for some fashion experiments ... *Cough, cough*, I already apologize to my friends in advance, lol^^. Here's what I like best so far:

No.1 - Red Blouse with ruffles, 20 Euro. ♥♥♥


No.2 - Elegant Chiffon Dress, 30 Euro.

No.3 - Classical Shopper, 2o Euro.


No.4 - Pearl Hair Jewellery, 5 Euro.


No. 5 - Long Caramel Cardigan, 20 Euro. ♥♥♥

No.6 - Black Hat, 8 Euro.

Something you fancy?! Can't wait to check out the rest in the new autumn catalogue that is (hopefully) waiting for me at home in Germany. After 4 months of constant summer ... rain, fog and a cloudy sky seem nothing more than a distant memory, like something from a dream that you have nearly already forgotten about...More soon ♥. Love,

Do you collect Essence hearts?

I promised myself not to fall for this excellent marketing strategy...ahaha. Essence started a campaign ( in Europe?): until the end of June, you can get silver heart stickers for every product you purchase. Okay, here is my confession:

• Fruit nail stickers (aww)
  
• Nail art decoration device
• Lash Mania mascara
• Pocket hand washing paste
• and a free heart for online registration :D
  
• (also in the photo): Heavenly deodorant by 8x4.
  
  

Makes 5 Hearts already! You get different bonuses for 10, 20 and 30 hearts. Unfortunately, I won't be close to Europe for the next couple of months...therefore I am giving my heart collection to my (happy) sister. Anyone else hearting?
Love,

Jewellery by itsalovelycake

On my weekly way to the supermarket, I stopped by at a huge shopping center to check out their haberdashery. I was still looking for something to add to my current craft project (s. 30/03/09). There were so many different and inspiring things, I had to force myself out of the department after nearly half an hour of rummaging. A soft pink feather boa catched my eye and I had to gather all my willpower together to leave it were it was^^. Additionally I saw some gorgeous multicoloured buttons, but I didn't dare to take a picture! I will definitely have to create something with cute buttons. And look at the pictures to see what I already found at the net!
This evening I am going out with my friends JC and D, so I have to hurry up now to get ready! The outfit will be posted tomorrow (after I am able to open my eyes again^^)!
Love,

Lilly :))
