Mystical Jewellery which will leave you starstruck
Gorgeous mystical jewellery from Anna Lou of London which will leave you star struck. Well why not treat yourself to an intergalactic accessory? Astrological bracelet £54 Not only are the astrological symbols very beautiful, dainty and elegant; the bracelet will be a lovely reminder of the affinity you have with your zodiac sign. I’m not overly superstitious (I’m convinced the team at metro have competitions/an absolute field day seeing who can conjure the most absurd description for each weeks horoscope) in saying that everything I read about my star sign is eerily accurate. I actually wanted a small tattoo...
Magpie like Tendencies: Jewellery with some serious sparkle
Sparkle game strong “Never let anyone dull your sparkle”; a mantra I could not agree more with. A. It’s a catchy and poignant quote. B. It just about justifies purchasing all the sparkly jewellery I can get my paws on. I'm sure these celebrities were in this mind-set when selecting an engagement ring. How could one resist a crystal the size of your face? You have to admire the one-one-one-upmanship. I cannot deny my own magpie like tendencies (just not the bit about eating other birds; google or don’t google it). Anything oversized and shiny needs to be: in my...
London on a budget: A Walk Through Wimbledon
Anna Lou in Wimbledon Seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the big city? I present a weekend excursion that won’t break the bank. A pocket of fresh air in the urban metropolis, this tranquil and serene haven transports you away from London to a quiet place where you can sit and reflect. Begin your journey at Wimbledon village where you can shop at designer boutiques (think Cath Kidston, Space NK and Whistles) and quaint green grocers toting amber coloured pumpkins and wildflowers strung together in bouquets. I had a great time indulging in a...
Tour guides: Retail Therapy, Shopping at Oxford Circus
Indulge in some retail therapy with Anna Lou of London! This weekend I decided to brave the shops and head to Oxford circus with my partner in crime! The flagship Topshop was our first stop, of course! Complete with five floors of clothes, jewels, make-up, accessories and even a tattoo and piercing parlour-there was something for everyone and I could have quite happily spent the day perusing such a beautiful shop. Honestly you could take a holiday there. H&M was next up (snap up a 20% off card in this month’s glamour) where I stocked up on cosy knitwear as...
Bestie-Jewellery for your partner in crime
“They say nothing lasts forever; Dreams change, Trends come and go, But friendships never go out of style”- Carrie Bradshaw Wise words iterated by noughties icon Carrie Bradshaw, the modern muse for the name necklace. It’s true, where in the world would we be without our best friends? Take the past week. I've recently moved to London and It’s easy to feel like a (clichéd) small fish in a big pond, leaving everything you know behind you (ensue another SATC quote). When things are tough there's nothing like your bestie coming to your rescue whisking you away at the weekend...
