Street Princess Handmade Jewellery

Today I'm going to be reviewing jewellery from Street Princess, which is a small business run by Naheeda. She hand makes jewellery and has a wide selection on her site. The jewellery is bespoke and I would say at the middle-top range in terms of pricing. I decided to purchase some bracelets and as a blogger I received 50% discount. I have been looking for something that I can wear everyday with my casual outfits.

It was a very difficult decision deciding what to choose- I obviously wanted EVERYTHING (shopaholic much?) but I bit the bullet and chose just two.

When I received the parcel it was in a bag with a damage form from Royal Mail. Unfortunately the package was open and one of the bracelets missing (me thinks the postman wanted a SP bracelet too :( ) I contacted Naheeda who was very understanding and sent me a replacement with another bracelet, which I thought was very sweet. She also sent a personalised message with my order :)

So I ordered the Zelda - Black/Nude  and Esmerelda - Black

Such cute packaging!

It's all in the detailing with the 'SP'

The Esmerelda is missing from my photos because someone decided to 'borrow' it before I had a chance to take a picture! But fear not here's a photo down below:

I have tiny wrists so Naheeda made the bracelets to fit at no extra cost, which is great as bracelets without stretch usually don't fit me. The Zelda bracelet feels light even with the 'SP' detail, although I have to be careful not to get them into my food (I just twist this around the bracelet and its sorted!)

Conclusion

If you're looking for cheap bracelets for under £5 Street Princess is definitely not for you. However if you are looking for bespoke, handmade jewellery that has had love and dedication put into it then you will find it at SP. If you want to splash out a little (Majority of the bracelets are over £30) for yourself or a loved one then this would be ideal.

Also have a look at Naheeda's blog for outfits of the day inspiration. (She has such cute outfits, I want her wardrobe!!)

OOTD: Vogue Style!

HEY GUYYSSS!!!! I'm back with an ootd post!! This is an outfit I wore for a graduation party. I decided to mix a black waterfall dress with jeans for a casual look. The grey blazer is from from New Look for a bargain price of £13. ( I went a little crazzzzyyy in there but that's another story!) I've turned the sleeves up to reveal the black lining underneath for that added twist.

The jeans are my sisters which surprisingly fit me well, even though she is 5ft8 and I am a petite 5ft2. They have a zip detailing at the side which provides for a comfortable fit. (I want to 'borrow' them from her)

Yes that is a toilet door...

Back of dress

The hijab is from Princess Rockz old collection (around a year old) but is one of my favourite crinkle hijabs. This hijab is sold out but there are similar designs on the website.

What have you been up to this weekend? :)

My Eid Outfit-Sari Inspired

This post is extremely late but I'm sure you will forgive me ;)

I decided on my outfit two days before Eid. I wanted something elegant but simple so decided upon a cream maxi dress from H&M and a dupatta from a shalwar kameez outfit. The dupatta is decorated with a lot of detail which I think works well with the plain dress. I've worn a black long-sleeve top underneath and a black hijab with a gold headband.

So I first draped the dupatta at the front as shown in the photo below:

I am not amused!

I then decided to pin to the maxi dress in a sari style. I used 3 safety pins which stayed in place throughout the day. This is the look as shown below:

Yes this is me on a bouncy castle :p

I'll be writing a post on my Eid mendhi as it's not very clear in the photos.

What did you wear on Eid day?

Flake Away with Soap and Glory Scrub

If you're after a scrub that really does the job, you may just have found it! I received this as an Eid present and was very excited to try!

On first impressions it looks appealing, with its pink tub (one of my favourite colours so already a plus there) and its comic writing " Transform your scaly legs from reptilian to radiant". I'm telling you the scrub creator was thinking of me when making this! ' Few of its ingredients are Shea butter, peach seed powder and sugar.

from scaly to fabulous baby

Let me be clear this is a serious gritty product so not for the faint hearted or those with super sensitive skin. Also be careful when scrubbing around delicate areas-it may scratch! I think the scrub is for the legs only (maybe that's why it is coarse) however I have also used on my arms and as long as I apply a gently hand it's fine. Using this around my chest area is a no no! Also apply plenty of cream afterwards as your skin will be dry.

Overall this has to be one of the best scrubs that I have used, and it prevents in grown hairs which is always handy! The dead skin does literally fall off! (I like to soak before to get maximum benefits) I wouldn't recommend for every day use, but 2-3 times a week.

As this was a gift I'm not sure about the price, but Soap and Glory's products are reasonably priced. Take a look in your local Boots store to purchase.

What do you think, have you tried this?

OOTD: Brights and Stripes

I've been quiet on the blogging front so apologies for that (did you miss me?) :p

The next few posts will most likely be brief and outfits of the day that I haven't posted for a while.

This is one that I wore a few days ago, casual but comfortable. It has been warm in London and the weather is set to continue.

Roses and stripes

The hijab I'm wearing is from my website-Princess Rockz. I've had it for a while but it has only just been re-stocked again after selling out the first time. The hijab comes in a few other colours as well so take a look :)

Allow the veiny hand

The bracelet is from Street Princess which I will be writing up a review on.
