Being Practical has it's Perks

Rectangle Large Claw: c/o Stone Bridge

Now, when it comes to my outfit snaps I have to admit that the clothes I wear and how my hair is done is not something I maintain 24 hours a day. When I am at home, cooking, cleaning, watching TV or just eating my tea I am not attached to my curlers, nor do I like to feel at all restricted. My big baggy jumpers and Primark PJ's come out to play and my hair is pulled off my face. There is just something oddly satisfying about the whole situation. 

One thing I do tend to struggle with is finding hair accessories that actually keep my hair 'up' - I have rather a lot of said hair and it's really quite heavy when you try bunging it up on top of ones head! That is why I was very happy indeed when I discovered Stone Bridge - not only are their creations beautiful, elegant and sophisticated they also specialise in all different hair types. Whether your hair is fine or thick they have something for everyone. 

This clip holds my hair so securely, yet I don't have to ensure it's all scraped back off my face for it to feel comfortably tight. And of course, the colours and finish are absolutely gorgeous. I filled out an online survey which helped me explain to Stone Bridge what I felt my hair type was and in return they offered their opinion on what range they thought was best for me. The lovely ladies there also recommended what colour to go for, to best suit my hair. 

If you are looking for something a bit special that actually does the job then look no further. I was really quite blown away by their outstanding customer service and the clip itself is something I will cherish for a long time to come. 

Thank you Stone Bridge, for being so wonderful!

Feeling a bit Floral | Crown & Glory

About a year ago, I discovered a beautiful little shop on the internet. Crown & Glory. I am a sucker for any pretty hair accessory, so when I came across this brand I was super duper happy. From turbans to crowns; each piece is individually handmade by the lovely Sophie, & a lot of the pieces are made to order, so you’re guaranteed an original item, every time. Something about that just makes it extra special doesn’t it? 

Having built up a rather large collection of her pieces over the last year, I thought I would show you my most recent purchase:

don't worry...i'm not naked ;)

I bought the Marina - Fuschia Daisy Bandeau & I am absolutely in love. It’s such a beautifully delicate piece, which makes such a bold statement. I picked this one up in the up to 50% off sale and the little beauty was only £9! Amazing right. The whole range is so reasonably priced; and fills what I believe is a huge gap in the accessories market. Yes, there are heaps of shops that cater for hair accessories, but I am yet to find one that has such intricate detail, at such a fantastic price. There is a vast variety of items available, yet each piece is so wonderfully put together, with such care & attention. Plus, the customer service is incredible; always a speedy and ridiculously friendly response. And even better, Crown & Glory can even make up your own individual piece; so if you had an idea that wasn’t quite like what is available on the website, they’ll more than likely be able to cater for your needs. 

I just love everything about this wonderful little spot on the web.

Have you ever purchased from Crown & Glory before? Or do you think you will now?
