Prairie Charms 'Project Blogger' bracelet review






Can you see my pretty bracelet? - this is how I store my jewellery :)
'The Simple Things In Life, Are Often The Best' bracelet (£8 without 'Project Blogger') - Prairie Charms

Recently, I was contacted by a gorgeous little jewellery website called 'Prairie Charms' (HERE) about getting involved in 'Project Blogger.' Now, honestly, I'd never heard of them before but when I read that 10% of the money that is paid towards this project was given to Great Ormond Street Hospital's 'Kiss it Better' campaign I was absolutely sold. Then I looked at the bracelets... Oh my goodness, SO PRETTY! 'Project Blogger' is all about Prairie Charms getting involved with us lovely people and giving something back so for us bloggers, we get 50% any bracelet of our choice. Can I hear a 'YES PLEASE?!' This lovely offer is on throughout July and August but if you look at the bracelets, you'll so want to join in. Now, onto the bracelet. I chose 'The Simple Things In Life, Are Often The Best' which 1) is a beautiful name, I love it, and 2) only £8. So with the 50% off, £4. LOVING IT. Of course, you have to pay for postage which is £2.50 for 2nd Class or £2.99 for 1st class. Seeing as I was only paying £4 for a lovely bracelet, I went first class, because I'm seriously impatient, and I wasn't disappointed, it came SO quickly, big plus there. The bracelet itself it made of wooden beads, on a black elastic with either a gold or silver vintage bow charm. Myself, I went with gold, because I thought it complimented the wooden beads. All in all, I love my bracelet and I thank you Prairie Charms for letting me take part in 'Project Blogger' :)

What do you think of the bracelet I chose? Do you have a favourite?

Union Soul bloggers competition!

Let's get right down to business shall we? Union Soul is a small UK based jewellery mecca that is based over on Big Cartel that this week is having it's very own bloggers competition! It currently stocks handmade, affordable and unique pieces that I absolutely LOVE. I was SO lucky to actually win a competition run by Union Soul and was sent a gorgeous little bracelet that I literally cannot stop wearing!

The uniqueness of the jewellery is really what caught my eye at first and oh boy, oh boy, do I have a wishlist! The whole collection please? Really, no? Oh well, I thought I'd give you guys my top three items which I would kill to have in my collection! 

1) Arrow Suede Colour Bracelet (£4.75)


I LOVE this bracelet. How cute are the little arrow charms (very Hunger Games?) but I actually love the colour bands, I want them all and I think they could easily fit into a stack of different bracelet and fit in perfectly. If I had to choose, I think I'd definitely go for the blue, but that's just personal opinion, I like blue!

2) Stone Arrow Necklace (£8)


You might realise now that I have a thing for arrows. I don't know why but it could be down to my little love of history. I love Roman history so arrows kinda link in there, wahey. And this is blue, GET IN! I just think this is such a simple piece that you can dress up or down, and it's just very me. I love it! 

3. Sideways Cross Bracelet (£7.50)


Now, I'll admit this now, I don't have enough crosses in my jewellery collections and I don't really know the reason. I think it might be because it's summer and for some reason, crosses scream out winter to me so I think this kind of piece will be permanently hanging off my wrist. I love the crosses on this piece and how they are engraved again. This is a bracelet I would wear on its own, in all it's glory!

I really hope you have enjoyed my little wishlist here and if you want to know more about Union Soul and the bloggers competition then it's here for you lovely lovely people. I'll just go back to drolling now, it's what I'm best at.
