GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Blue Bird Bride Jewellery

The fab feeling of discovering another fantastic online jewellery boutique will never fade. So you can imagine my joy when I was contacted by Blue Bird Bride. If you're looking for statement beautiful necklaces then this is the place to be heading. My wardrobe consists of many plain, dark items so I always like to add a pop of colour to my outfit with accessories that do the talking. I mean, how frickin' gorgeous is this necklace?

I love it so much that I wanted you guys to be able to get your lovely mitts on one too. They come in a variety of colours and at only £16.51 I think everyone should own one! The giveaway will run from today for one month - 24th January. And if you don't win don't worry - you can nab a cheeky 15% off  when you enter FALL2012 at checkout. 

Good Luck All - and a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

When Megs is Away | Samantha Avena | Shop Dixi

So if you didn't know already, I'm currently sunning myself silly in beautiful Italy. In my absence I have planned a fair few guest posts for your perusal whilst I'm away, so fingers crossed these scheduled posts work! 
The first lovely guest is the gorgeous Sammi, from Samantha Avena. She is such a talented, kind young lady and provides a huge variety of posts over on her blog; including photography, beauty, health and happy lifestyles! If you haven't checked her out, you simply must. Enough of my ramble...you came on over because you wanted to read Sammi's words, not my waffle :)

As a bit of a jewellery hoarder, I'm constantly on the lookout for shiny, pretty, things!

Fourth in my 'Jewellery I Heart' series is my lovely Baby Mila Ocean Green Stone Bracelet (£7). I came across ShopDixi via Twitter and it was pretty much love at first sight. If you've ever noticed in some of posts you will have seen I am forever wearing my amber & silver ring - I am a huge fan of precious stones & crystals, especially in jewellery form and as soon as I clocked eyes on the Baby Mila Bracelet, it was in my basket within seconds. 

The bracelet arrived quickly & I was so happy with it as soon as I removed it from the box! It fits perfectly - loosely, but the stone always sits at the top - and its also made of alpaca silver; which does not rust or tarnish. For just £7 I couldn't really believe how wonderful it was! I've already got my eyes set on some more of their pieces, they're all so pretty!

I can't sing enough praises about ShopDixi (as you're probably realising) so I'll just pipe down & let the pictures do the talking!

Have you ever shopped with ShopDixi before? Whats your favourite piece of jewellery?

NOW CLOSED

The Winners:

WAHOOO! It's my first giveaway ladies & gents!! (pretty sure no gents read my blog, but whatever)
I was contacted a month or so a go, by the lovely lady Stephanie at Prairie Charms. They're a brand spanking new online jewellery shop, that sell beautiful handmade charm bracelets. Being a new blogger, I was so surprised when she got in contact with me to ask if I'd like to receive & review one of their pieces; of course, I said yes! After chatting with her for a while, it was decided that it shouldn't really just be me that get's to receive the loveliness, it should be you wonderful people too!
Each piece is lovingly handmade, & why stop there? These ladies certainly don't! How bloomin' gorgeous is this wrapping?

Personally, wrapping is really quite important to me, so this definitely gets brownie points my end!
Now, here's where you guys come in..wanna see the lovely bracelets that two of you, yes you heard right, two of you could win? Ah, okay, go on then....

How gorgeous are they!! Both bracelets come with their own individual detachable ribbon, for an extra bit of yuminess.
I'm just so in love with this brand. Not only is each bracelet handmade, with each piece being 'limited edition', to ensure your bracelet will be individual; they also offer a 'make your own' service. & the very, very best bit, is that 10% of each purchase that's made is donated to the Great Ormond Street Hospital 'Kiss it Better' Charity. I think that's just the cherry on the top, don't you? I want to get my hands on every piece!
So, I'm not going to make this difficult to enter, because to be frank, I really don't enjoy filling in a million entries on a giveaway. However, I will ask of you two things:


1. Please be a follower of Wonderful You via GFC (I will be checking!) It's simples to do!
2. Leave a comment below with your email address & why you'd like to win.


I will pull the two winning names out of a hat 2 weeks from today on August 1st.
& just for an extra, here's the bad boy I kept for myself :)

Good luck beauts!

Raspberry Grape | Unique Jewellery

I have become a bit of a twitter addict as of late; & have had the pleasure of getting to know the lovely Lauren of RaspberryGrape*insert raspberry blowing on someone’s belly here* through the wonders of the web. I found myself lusting after her beautiful little pieces over at her jewellery shop & when she tweeted that she’d like to offer some of her pieces for review I jumped at the chance!

She sent me the rather scrumptious wide upper finger ring*, which I’d tweeted her about previously, telling her how much I liked it.

I absolutely love it. Beautifully hand wrapped with cute little stickers, I was so excited to get it opened! I haven’t really come across middle finger rings before, but I’m a bit of a raving fan now. They’re a bit different aren’t they? I love the thickness of the ring & the pretty shapes running throughout. Another great thing about these is that they have adjustable backs, so you can change it up & wear it as a regular ring too, if you fancy it. I think they’re perfect for summer, adding a bit of bohemian chic to your look. My one came up quite small (before adjustment), so they fit really snugly on the upper half of your finger. No flying off in to the air when you’re jumping around like a mad woman to your favourite song – yes, we all know you jump around, flailing arms & all…

I’d say that Lauren’s shop leans slightly towards the more alternative type of jewellery, but mixes it up with some really delicate pieces too. Ranging from skull bracelets to vintage rings, there really is something for everyone.

At £3.85 for this little beaut, with free postage & packaging you can’t really go wrong, can you? :)

*Lauren kindly sent me this ring FOC for review, all opinions are my own. I have not received financial compensation for this post.
