Pandora Letter K Pendant Charm

We must all be familiar with Pandora, right? I must admit, I wasn't a massive fan at first - more tilting towards Links of London, but when I got up close to some of their designs, I fell in love. I love my bracelet and every single one of my charms means something to me and usually symbolize a specific life event or occasion. 

So, you can imagine my absolute delight and amazement when my Best Friend, Sophia, gifted me with this beautiful K pendant from Pandora for my 22nd birthday in December! I love it so much I wanted to share its beauty with you!

Letter K Pendant Charm - Pandora - No. 791323CZ

The pendant is sterling silver, approximately 1cm in length and adds sparkle with the pretty cubic zirconia stones. It means so much because it symbolizes me, because of my initial, obviously, and it's personal. If you know me quite well, you'll know I love personalised gifts and this gift hasn't left me neck hardly at all since my birthday in late December!
I certainly think that Pandora jewellery makes a perfect gift - especially if it means something to that person by symbolizing something. I love it, and can't thank Sophia enough for a wonderful and beautiful gift :) LINKEDIN | TWITTER | BLOGLOVIN'

My Dream Red Carpet Look | Award Show Season 2015 |

It's February and the award show season is well under way! Last week was the Grammy and Bafta awards and although the award recipients were exciting, I was more excited about who was wearing who!
I recently collaborated with Weddington Way - an online boutique specializing in bridesmaid dresses. The inspiration was to create my dream red carpet look and show how I would make my style statement. I never really get dressed up and go out so I was quite excited to put together what I would love to wear IF I was an A-list celeb! 
The look I have put together was inspired by Taylor Swift's 2015 Grammy's look, a custom Elie Saab halter dress in shades of teal and turquoise, I LOVED it! I've chosen a teal coloured dress and chosen to match the accessories together in a silver glitter colour palette. 

| 1. After Six 6676 Lux Chiffon Dress in Oasis -$250 | 2. Pandora  Heart Stud Earings - £45 | 3. Pandora Symbol of Love Bracelet - £45 | 4. Silver Glitter 'Audrine' Pointed Toe Court Shoe by Dune - £45 | 5. Jimmy Choo Sweetie Champagne Glitter Acrylic Clutch - £450 |

1. After Six 6676 Lux Chiffon Dress

I'm not a fan of strapless dresses and being quite petite in size, I can't wear anything too big that drowns my figure. That's why I have chosen Weddington Way's AfterSize 6676 Lux Chiffon dress in the colour Oasis. The chiffon panel at the top still shows skin without being strapless or on one shoulder. The bow pulls you in at the waist and the draping fabric from the bust and through the center of the skirt of the dress gives height to the wearer. CLICK HERE for the full collection of chiffon dresses by Weddington Way!

I chose the colour 'Oasis' because it's similar to the colour of Taylor Swift's dress at the 2015 Grammy's. It's such a pigmented colour - perfect for upcoming Spring.

2. Pandora Heart Stud Earrings and 3. Symbol of Love Bracelet

The dress has a high neckline and therefore I don't need a necklace, therefore I've kept the earrings and bracelet quite simple and matching in style. The heart symbols keep the theme in line and adds subtle sparkle with the cubic zirconia.

4. Dune - Silver Glitter 'Audrine' Pointed Toe Court Shoe 

As the dress is full length, the shoes won't be the main piece, therefore I've chosen a simple style but added extreme sparkle with silver glitter - they'd be perfect for any outfit.

5. Jimmy Choo Sweetie Champagne Glitter Acrylic Clutch Bag

Matching with the shoes, I chose a silver glitter clutch bag by Jimmy Choo. As the shoes are hidden, I thought I'd make a statement with the bag! 

Taylor Swift hair and makeup - Grammy Awards 2014

Again, I have taken inspiration from Taylor Swift and therefore my desired hair and makeup inspiration has been taken from her 2014 Grammy Award look. My hair is roughly the same length as Taylor's in the above photo and I think this updo hairstyle is classic and simple, yet beautiful. I would keep the majority of my makeup look quite natural, with a natural pink cheek tint and similar colour lip, but bringing in the attention with a smokey eye.

I think my dream red carpet look is great for the award season as it's a classic dress, jazzed up with matching glitter accessories.

What do you think of my dream red carpet look? Who was your best dressed throughout the awards season, OR who was the worst?!

Storm Flower | Debut Fragrance by Cheryl |

I received Cheryl's debut perfume, Storm Flower, as a Christmas present and I love it! I'm not a massive fan of expensive designer perfumes, although I am a bit skeptical on celebrity fragrances, BUT as soon as I smelt this, I fell in love!

Storm Flower eau de parfum by Cheryl - 50ml 

Firstly, what isn't to love about the packaging and bottle?! It's such a pretty design with the rose gold colour scheme and flower shaped bottle top - perfect for the floral scent and surprisingly easy to hold! The box is quite unique. It doesn't open as you'd expect - you pull off the box from the base and the perfume sits in a purple mold and I must admit, I was pretty impressed as I hadn't seen that before! The bottle is kinda cool too as it's rose gold at the bottom and as it edges up the bottle it fades - a really nice effect and use of colour.

Now onto the scent itself! 

"...luscious Mandarin and Nectarine, Stormflower has a vibrant floral heart ... Freesia and Peach Blossom ... Vanilla, White Musk and Sandalwood..."

You can definitely smell the Mandarin, Nectarine and Peach Blossom; together they smell beautiful - reminding me of Spring! Something else that I worry about with perfumes is how long you can smell them for throughout the day, but it's safe to say that this one lasts a while. I am very happy with it!

I have only been using it for a few weeks, but I can't fault it. I really do love the packaging, bottle and fragrance and when it runs out I will definitely repurchasing it!

Did you get it for Christmas too?! What did you think, Yay or Nay?!

RATING

Price: 5 STARS 50ml - RRP £27.00 This is quite a reasonable price for the amount you get. It is also available in 30ml and 100ml and gift sets.

Would I Recommend to a Friend?: Yes Well it all depends on your preferences to fragrances, but I love this. It's not like a 'general' fragrance and it's perfect for getting the mood for spring.
