Ted Baker : SS13 - review

Ted Baker SS13

Recently, Ted Baker has caught my eye a lot more than they used to. they have some really great stuff in this season with bright colours. 

I yesterday bought the wallet Kassady Crystal Bobble Matinee Pure (Pale Pink), which is such a lovely wallet with two beautiful Gems on the top forming in a bow shape. This elegant clutch wallet is crafted from 100% bovine leather with a patent finish. The crystal bobbles finish the kiss lock closure with style. Inside is a fan opening dual compartment with decorative lining which includes 12 credit card slots, which is perfect for me because I have a lot of cards, as well as an id window allow you to keep your items organized and safely inside. A black zipper compartment allows for extra storage. Which is good for all those extra Coins.

 Price - £75

I thought this was a little bit over the top as it is made of plastic but you are paying for the brand. STUDENTS TAKE NOTE- Ted Baker are doing a 20% student discount which makes it that little bit cheaper.

Additionally I bought the Womens Ted Baker Polee Flip Flop Black Cream Pvc Sandals, which are gorgeous, the minute I saw them I knew I wanted them, just to walk in or go to the pool in. The colour is really beautiful, however such a shame they don’t have a matching purse, which is what I was originally looking for.

The only limitation to the flip flops is the fact it is plastic, so if you are feeling hot or sweaty well, your going to slip right out of them, which is a bit annoying. But Other than that I adore them.

Price - £35

For a bit of plastic I think it’s a bit pricey. I noticed Primark are doing very similar ones for £6 using pretty much the same colors. (which is sooo annoying)

But yet again you can use your student cards.

Lots of Love H xxx

Mimona !

The Mimona is a Moroccan tradition which includes loads of cakes , Morroccan tea & pancakes.They  say that the name Mimouna derives from the Arabic word for “wealth” and “good luck,” or the Hebrew word “emuna” (faith) or “ma’amin” (believe).

this is how i dressed before wearing the gown, 
my lipstick was that of Mac for all of you asking.
My Leopard Necklace is from misscinderella.co.uk

my Maxi dress was from www.missguided.co.uk , (WHICH I ADORE! its really light in the hot weather which is perfect for summer )

(my mothers uncle Rafi, who owns the most incredible moroccan antique shop in jaffa)

it is custom to throw sort of open house parties to visitors, after setting out a lavish spread of traditional holiday cakes and sweetmeats. One of the holiday favorites is Mofleta. Which is the sweet pancake. (which can be seen above)

The table is also laid with various symbols of luck and fertility, with an emphasis on the number "5," such as five pieces of gold jewelry or five beans arranged on a leaf of pastry. It is also custom to wear moroccan outfits as can be seen above.

I thought this tradition was a lot of fun and a real cultural experience. 

Whats your tradition?

April Acessories

My April Accessories

it is essential for every women to accessories herself, accessories give that extra BLING factor to make you stand out.

This month, the colour blue & black has really caught my eye.

The items below are from a new and up and coming website. www.misscinderella.co.uk is the one to watch out for.

Although some of you may be put off by the prices I think it’s quite varied. Some are cheap prices and some are not.  My favorite bit about the store is the packaging, I love how the gifts are received all nice and done up J.

My favorite item has to be number 7 the glittery phone cover. I have an Iphone 4s and it is great, really stands out and is not to tacky. I believe Miss Cinderella has a few other colours, obviously pink.

Number 1 however, is my favorite necklace by far, made my 925 silver and with an opal hand shaped pendent. Personally, I love what the hand symbolizes. It is a Hamsa necklace, which is supposed to ware away all evil spirits, including Jealousy. YES HATERS GONNA HATE. I think that having the necklace gives me a lot of self-confidence, which I guess is good. Who knows if it works or not but I love the traditional symbol and doesn’t get rusty in water, trust me I tried it.

Number 2 moustache necklace is really in recently not sure why but I think its cute to wear just to spice an outfit out whilst just chilling at home and relaxing or going to a lecture. Its not even that expensive online.

Number 3 gives that Aztec/ Egyptian look which is kind of ironic as only a few weeks ago it was Passover. Anyways this leaves you feeling like an Egyptian goddess especially with summer coming up, gold is really in.

Number 4 is the peacock earring again going in with the blue theme; I really like these as causal earrings, call me weird but there HOT.

Number 5 is gorgeous; the Victoria necklace is stunning with a little black dress or just leggings and a nice top. It defiantly stands out though which with a tan,  makes you feeling gorgeous.

Number 6 again is a hamsa, the colour turquoise is beautiful, again looks gorgeous with a tan.

Number 7 is again the phone cover I love it but I love anything that sparkles.

TRY IT YOU NEVER KNOW
