I was recently introduced to Olly M Jewellery, a really sweet brand who specialise in friendship jewellery. I'm a self-confessed magpie and I have a bit of a weakness for friendship bracelets, especially if they're crafted from precious metals.
Bracelet: c/o Olly M Jewellery - Jumper: River Island
I literally squee'd with delight when the lovely folks at Olly M asked me if I'd like to review a piece from their collection. I was instantly drawn to the gold friendship bracelet (£79) which features 14k gold rondelles on a chocolate-brown cord. As much as I love affordable jewellery, my favourite pieces are real gold or silver. This bracelet is still fashionable and wearable on a daily basis, but it's a classic piece which I can keep for years to come.
I think it's important to support smaller, British companies, so I'm hoping Olly M Jewellery will continue to grow. I'm also grateful that this gorgeous bracelet now lives in my jewellery box! Designer Michelle is a sweetheart and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Are you a fan? I love my friendship bracelet and recommend you take a peek at the online store for more yummy bits!
Colour Xtreme Hair Art sprays c/o Colour Xtreme Hair Art and AX Paris
You may have noticed that for once I have a bit of colour in my hair... A few weeks back we were sent some bottles of Colour Xtreme Hair Art (£2.99) spray to play with. I used the purple spray on a single plait and as you an see it even looks noticeable on brunette hair. I've also seen the pink on blonde hair which looks amazing, I had to layer quite a lot of colour to achieve this look but I'm rather happy with it. You can buy the colour sprays online or from Boots, Urban Outfitters or Asda. Just a heads up, when it came to washing it out, I used some leave-in conditioner and now that section of hair is back to normal. Simple.
Do you like my new friendship bracelet? Do you like to experiment with hair colour?

I think I have a bit of a bracelet obsession too ha! So pretty, right? :)x
DeleteThe bracelet is so dainty and cute! I also love your temporary purple braid - it did turn out rather well I agree! I always think those sprays won't have good colour pay-off but I'm impressed :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Carly! I wasn't sure how it would take but I quite like that it's subtle. I did have to layer it on but still. ;) xo
DeleteInspired! Great post!

DeleteI was CONNED into clicking on this post because I thought you had Olly Murs jewellery! Really though, you look SO cute in these pictures, and you got the rainbow shoulder jumper!! I'm thinking the colour sprays would be good for me.. always nervous an area manager is going to walk in at work and tell me off about my pink.

Bahahahaha, I love this. YES, finally! It was in the RI sale so how could I resist!? They usually call before they arrive, right? I say take some shampoo and wash it out quickly if they announce a visit ha! ;) xo
DeleteI love bracelets and even more if they are made out of gold!

DeleteBracelet is beautiful. Love the look of the hair sprays too, perfect for summer and festival season. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Claire, I'm in love with this bracelet. I agree, I'm considering taking some bottles to Glasto! x
DeleteThe friendship bracelet from Oily M looks very pretty and so does the purple colour of the hair you braided after using the Colour Extreme Hair Art spray. Your nailpolish is a pretty colour too.

Aw, thanks AJ.x
DeleteIts so beautiful & these photos are so lovely! I totally agree too, I think jewellery is always a good investment & worth spending a bit more on for real precious metals that will last forever & can be handed down, instead of cheaper ones that last only a few wears.
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a dipdye effect with my spray but I think my hair is just too dark for it to show up properly :(
