Lolly's of Tenby

Any one for a boiled Sweet?

And today in other news...

So I have written about Tenby before

Today while minding my own business - I wandered past a little Tenby treat.

Look at all the lollys!!

Sour Apples, Pineapple Rocks, Cola Mega Lollys and Cherry Sours.

Tenby mega mix in a cup.  

I spent 5 Pound... but now I'm flush with delicious candy ;-)

Happy HUMP DAY party people.

Joanne Stoker for Dune

DIY...

So as soon as I saw these sandals in this weeks Look Magazine (UK) http://www.look.co.uk/ I was in LOVE!  

They're Joanne Stoker for Dune, a UK high street brand.  Joanne has quite the shoe pedigree having worked for Matthew Williamson and Jimmy Choo.

I've been on the Dune website but I can't find them!  Thanks to http://alexloves.com/2013/02/first-look-joanne-stoker-for-dune/ for all the pictures.  So I can't leave you with a link, but I'm thinking... why buy when I can DIY?

I've experimented with DIY on two pairs of shoes previously

I found the process endlessly enjoyable - more so than wearing the end result!

End Result of my shoe DIY.

Was thinking of maybe using these girls - think they could do with a little more neon and glitter...?

Although I am a fan of the suede on these shoes...

This bag is actually a potential DIY as well...

All pictures are from www.alexloves.com A London blogger I came across in my search for information on Joanne Stokers collection for Dune.

What do you think of the collection?

Take a look....

So despite my large necklace collection back in New Zealand
http://shoe-fiend.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/jewellry.html and the

fact I've said to myself multiple times I don't need any more necklaces

I decided to bring only 5 or so necklaces to the UK with me...

how naive I was...

I soon felt the urge for some shiny new bling - take a look

As soon as I saw this necklace in Aldo Covent Garden I HAD TO HAVE - Waited in line for like, 15 minutes to buy it!

Purple Necklace is from this AWESOME and random store in Tenby called Equinox - It's Awesome.

Blue-ish feather from New Look - Sparkly

Isn't he a cutey?  I already own an owl necklace but its not coulorful like this so...

 I'm really missing all my DIY Jewelry equipment back in New Zealand - Hindsight is a beautiful thing but there are a few things I wished I had packed that I am now missing... alas, I was only allowed 30KG's and thought if I FILL my suitcase I won't be able to bring anything BACK :-(

*Laughing my ass off - I wrote this post a week or two back and have actually bought a few MORE necklaces since - oh well, will save those for another post ;-)

What's one thing you always seem to come home with after a trip to the shops?  Something you're forever collecting...
