My jewellery box

And following on from my last post while I was photographing my neat little scarf collection I also took the liberty to take some nice shots of my favourite jewellery for you. As you know I love jewellery. (And yes I'm probably spelling jewellery wrong because it appears that my spell checker is telling me it's spelt jewelery but I think that's American spelling right?)

Anyway I'm going off track.... Have a look.

Watch: Calvin Klein (purchased in Los Angeles)
Rings: (L>R) a sixpence coin by Von Treskow , my favourite a bow by Stolen Girlfriends Club, gold with little diamonds from an ex-boyfriend, silver with stone from an old highschool boyfriend and a flower vintage one from Grandma
Earrings: Rose shaped, black stone (purchased in Barcelona)
Pendant: "T" from Mimco
Pearls: Mad Monnies (my Aunties bead shop)
Jade beads: Hong Kong (gift from an Aunty)

Kerri Wilder

I really like New York designer Kerri Wilder's jewellery collection. It's so boho, sweet and delicate and it's all hand made made! Have a look...






I know I said I'd only blog Australian designers but her collection is so lovely I couldn't resist blogging it.

Delicate hearts

Once again staring into the window of my favourite shop waiting for my morning latte, I spot another beautiful piece of jewellery. Violent Green never fails to impress me with their intriguing designers found within their incredibly trendy store. This time I've discovered a beautiful jewellery collection by Sydney born designer Jordan Askill who is now based in Paris. The "Jordy" collection of delicate heart rings in gold and white gold is simply perfect. It caught my eye and I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before I decide I want one of these rings on one of my little fingers. Although I'm rapidly adding to my jewellery collection it's scary - 2 rings and a "T" pendant in 2 weeks! Oh well what's one more? A girl needs choice!

See the sweetness of Askill's designs below.

Victoria Mason

Stemming from my last post...
Melbourne brand Victoria Mason jewellery rocks. It's innovative, sweet and quirky. And it's hand made in Australia!

Stolen Girlfriends Club

I walked past Violent Green (Elizabeth St Arcade, Brisbane City) this morning while getting my Campos Coffee (the best in Oz!) and was instantly drawn to the cutest little ring in their window. It was an immediate connection. I was in love. Unfortunately the shop was closed but in my lunch break I went back to suss it out the price. It was a little expensive but when a girl's got her heart set on something...... The brand is Stolen Girlfriends Club. They create seriously stylish jewelery. See for yourselves.

(I'm getting this one!)

Rastro market

Terribly sorry that my blog has been in limbo for a while... I've started my European trek and have lack of access to computers and such. I chose not to bring my laptop abroad (some may think I'm silly but why would I want to waste my time on the internet when I can be exploring a city).

Anyway so I have found some FANTASTIC places in Madrid, Spain. Places that only locals really know and that tourists don't come across. It helps when you're staying with locals.



Rastro Market (Embajordes) is ace for anything leather, jewellery, hippy clothes, scarfs, hats, general accessories and a bunch of other random things. Watch your bag - this place is a thieves playground. Sundays only - get involved.
