Hello Helloberry!

Hello everyone,

On August 1st it was my birthday! Like with most gift-giving occasions I had the forever awkward task of subtly hinting to friends and family my desired presents :) Okay, I'm going to be honest and say there was actually nothing subtle about it, there may have been a list. Only to help and offer a guide, as I know it is so frustrating when you have no idea what to get someone for their birthday.

It was then that I found Helloberry!

I had been ogling the WHOLE Helloberry collection on the Helloberry website  and Etsy for quite some time now. It all began when I saw some 'Arm Candy' blog posts and then pins on Pinterest. 

First of all, I was meserised by the shiny bright items and then I clicked onto the Helloberry Shop :) I was also pleasantly surprised with how affordable their pieces were, starting from $15-$35 AUD. As I am not one for super expensive jewels dripping off my extremities, unless they are forced upon me :) I thought that this was the perfect gift giving idea!

So by now you are probably wondering Who is Helloberry? Where is the product from? Below is a short little blurb about Helloberry from the creators.

  
"Helloberry is the lovechild of three Torontonian girlfriends who 
 share a passion for good food, good wine, fun travels and all the pretty little things in between. We're weak for things that hold a burst of colour, a dash of shine and a hint of sparkle. We're bringing you all things sweet & fresh -- keeping helloberry always in season."

 

I decided upon two bracelet pieces from the Helloberry shop! The 'Gold Dust' & 'Wishing Hearts' bracelets.

Here are a few more pictures of the Helloberry birthday love I received from my beautiful friends...............

Had you heard of Helloberry? What are your favourite 'arm candy' accessories in your collection?

 Hope you have enjoyed reading this jewellery confession post!

Always love to hear from you, keep in touch! Until next time have a beautiful week!

I Love Love Love

 

I love love love all of these items at the moment! A few of them featured in my 'Current Wants for 2012' post. Now the hunt begins to acquire these beautiful items. Since I've shared mine :) What are you in love with at the moment?

On another note, as many of you may already know I am a great admirer of Marilyn Monroe. I'm hoping to see the new film 'My Week with Marilyn' early this week at the cinema. Michelle Williams looks stunning in this film and I can't wait to see how she interprets Marilyn to the screen. Have you seen the movie yet?

love and longing looks,

House of Harlow 1960

Hi everyone,

My House of Harlow jewellery has finally arrived! I was way too excited in the anticipation of the package to arrive.....checking the mailbox eagerly every day. So sad, I know! But what do you expect from a girl with a serious jewellery addiction? Please don't tell me I'm the only one.

I hope you could gain a little 'sneak-peek' of the jewellery I received from one of my previous blog posts entitled 'Vintage Finds #2' :) . As I ordered the jewellery online from Ozsale on a whim when I saw that they were available one day, I wasn't sure as to correct sizing for myself. Luckily they do ALL fit and I cannot wait to wear them out! I was to give one away as a present in a few months....but I am scared that I may fall in love with it, and instead, welcoming it into into my ever-increasing jewellery family. Which reminds me, I should do a jewellery blog post about my favourite pieces and perhaps jewellery display techniques that I've found useful. Would this be of any interest? Let me know :) Anyways, enough ramblings from me, let's get to the good stuff! Here we go...................

As many of you may know the House of Harlow 1960 jewellery collection is created by Nicole Ritchie.

A native Californian, Nicole was born and raised in Los Angeles and has always had a fascination with creating her own look. Having always been surrounded by entertainers, costumes, and designers Nicole developed an appreciation for fashion at an early age, stating “Fashion gives you the ability to express yourself, your mood; it’s a creative outlet in many ways.” Which is one of the primary reasons the House of Harlow 1960 collections were born. 

House of Harlow 1960 was launched in 2009, and the collection is available globally at high-end department and specialty stores. I personally find the Bohemian Chic representation within the collection is suitable for everyone to wear, and to whatever degree they feel comfortable. After initially purchasing 4 items from the collection I am already making note of other creations for further purchase. Do you have any favourites from the House of Harlow 1960 range? If you haven't already had a gander at the range, have a look here : House of Harlow

 Here are the pieces I purchased as presented online:

Here are the House of Harlow 1960 pieces once I received them:

I am just in love with these little gems! What are your favourite jewellery pieces in your collection? Or better yet, what jewellery is on your 'dream-purchase-list'? :)
