Daniel Wellington Classic Sheffield Lady / Kirsty Wears Blog

Classic Sheffield Lady ℅ Daniel Wellington

Being a blogger you often find yourself wanting something another blogger has or find yourself liking and wearing a certain trend because it has become ridiculously popular across the whole blogging network and simply because it is everywhere. Which is completely normal and kind of the point of bloggers sharing with your their outfits and new buys anyways so it is all groovy. So getting to the point, there is in no doubt if you read blogs, follow bloggers or just an regular instagram browser you would of come across some one wearing a Daniel Wellington watch. DW has taken the socially interactive by storm and I don't think there is a day that goes by I don't see someone wearing and sharing their favourite DW. So being a blogger an all I kind of feel like I'm part of the cool gang now with my own Classic Sheffield DW watch. I'm a sucker for watches any way always have had one in my life (or maybe five, ok ten) that I wear religiously and well of course I'm going to take up the opportunity to have another in my life. Who wouldn't?

This DW baby is a Classic Sheffield Lady with Silver face and Black Leather strap, and it quite simply the prettiest of classic style watches I have ever seen."With leather darker than the deepest parts of the ocean, the Classic Sheffield was carefully designed to stand the test of time while maintaining its effortless beauty. This minimalistic piece proves that simple does not necessarily mean boring" - I could not agree more with this little bio on their page, the design is so effortless but looks so lovely on your wrist and quite frankly go with any look, outfit or style, it is timeless. I'm in love with my DW so expect to see me wearing it everyday aha.

Venus With Love V.Locket // Kirsty Wears Blog

Sharing with you today this gorgeous custom made charm locket from the lovely Jewellery brand Venus With Love. VWL approached me just over a month ago now kindly asking whether I would like to design and create my own locket with them, I was so excited at the idea having seen their gorgeous collections online and how cute the V.Lockets were. However with me being in Thailand I thought that maybe I would have too miss out on such a lovely opportunity, but luckily after speaking with the lovely Jenna at VWL she was happy to ship out the package all the to me here in Koh Samui. I was so over joyed that I spent the next 4 week eagerly anticipating the arrival with several trips to the local post office. Then the day come and it just so happened James picked it up for me on the way back from his training, it felt like Christmas had come early. As you can probably tell the prospect of receiving parcels is very exciting, especially as I have had to go almost a year with out any sort of online delivery or parcel. Oh the little things.

So now you all know that I got very excited (sometimes I do wonder) let me talk more about Venus With Love, this adorable locket and its super lovely concept. The idea behind the V.Locket is that you can either choose to gift somebody the locket, with maybe one or two charms in and then they can continue to build it up inside themselves, or you can choose up to 8 charms (depending on the size you choose) and build a full locket. I decided to choose 6 charms and base mine around my year here in Thailand, therefore I chose; a palm tree, cocktail, suitcase, peace hands, my birth stone and a little heart with 'dream' engraved on the inside, and also I went for the 'large silver locket, with a snake chain' (just incase you were wondering which size and style mine was). With a whole range of charms and dangles to choose from you can design which ever mood, theme or story you like.

The fun doesn't stop there, once you have built your locket you can always add to it or even complete change the content if you like, as the little case opens and closes (just like an original locket). I think VWL have come up with such a cute, timeless idea that if you were to receive as a gift, or even just treat yourself you can keep the story going or if your like me just have my most recent memories locked in forever.

I guess it holds a similar concept to the Pandora bracelets where you can continue to hold and pick out favourite memories and moments keeping them as close to you as possible. Personally I love jewellery like this, it reminds me of all the wonderful things that my mum and granny have in their treasure boxes and all the meanings and stories in each of their special pieces. There is far to much costume jewellery these days, I think it is something truly special to have a piece that you love and can make you remember.

If Venus With Love have stolen your heart or you know someone that will love a V.Locket of their own use the code 'KIRSTYWEARS20' to receive 20% OFF at the checkout. Also if you do let me know what charms you went for. Thank you so much to Venus With Love for gifting me with such a beautiful piece of jewellery.

Knitwear has to be my favourite thing about Autumn/Winter (that is as well as boots, coats and scarves. Ok I have a lot of favourite things). I think the thing I love about winter clothes so much is that everything you purchase is such a good investment, and your favourite pieces will see you through one winter and possibly more special if it is a good quality coat or jumper. So I guess I can admit that I spend more on my winter clothes than I do any other season because one it just so happens I can buy all my favourite things and two they are all good future investments.

So today is all about knitwear and I have chosen Zara for my favourite knitwear picks, because if you know me then you'll know I am a bit of a knitwear fanatic and have a love for a good jumper or two and Zara knitwear in my experience in exceptional for style, quality, price and care. Not only do they produce stunning pieces that look great on the hanger and self, they wash great too. I don't know about you but I have had a many past experiences of buying a knitted jumpers at £40+ then putting it through its first wash (at what is recommended on the label) to come back either shrunk, deformed, dull, or bobbly. There is nothing worse than pulling your clothes out the washing machine to find they are destroyed. But I have found that my Zara knits tend to hold up well.

Above are my top picks for this AW ranging from bold brights, to soft neutrals. Zara have got it all this season from chunky to soft fitted styles, fur textures and tie back details, to long lengths and cropped sleeves. I would love to hear what your favourites are and whether you love Zara knitwear too. p.s am I allowed to be a little sad that I won't be purchasing any new knitwear for a while.

My second Autumn / Winter wardrobe hit is all boots, and ASOS Boots to be exact. I think the boot department is definitely my favourite of AW and I'd probably say that I would get through at least three pairs of boots an autumn and winter, maybe four pairs if I got any for Christmas. However I'm a massive hoarder so it is more than likely my collection just grows instead of me replenishing whats needed to get rid of. Once I hung on to a pair of boots that had a hole in the bottom just because I loved them so much, I think it was my mum who ended up throwing them away so I wouldn't wear them anymore, but that's another story.

So there are a lot of boots I'm LOVING this season and well ASOS being my favourite go to when needing/looking for any shoes because they always have such a massive range and they also sell other stores and brands, so they are the perfect go to if ever stuck with finding the perfect shoes. Not all that is listed belongs to ASOS's range there are a few that slipped in but are too gorgeous to ignore. However I find ASOS's range is always so reasonable priced and for leather too which is amazing because to get through winter you'll definitely need a good leather boot.

I love all these that I have featured here but if I was to pick a definite MUST HAVE, it would have to be number 11 the 'Riley Pointed Loafer Ankle Boots' I am loving the whole pointed toe boot and shoe look atm, I think it adds a more sophisticated/glam look to a normal chunky boot or flat shoe. However I also really love number 4 the 'Estate Ankle Boots' just for the block high heel, such a killer this season.

p.s I'm jealous of all y'all buying these AW dreams. Do let me know which are your favs?

#Grrrrr! This is the second time I'm creating this post as I stupidly managed to save over my last one with a blank canvas, how I managed such a thing I do not know. I could of cried. However staying calm I'm just going to re create it.

Today's post is a little AW lusting list all from the fabulous Missguided. I was going to do a mixed online wish list however it was becoming far to big, so I thought I would just stick to one brand/company at a time. Surprise surprise Missguided were my main culprit, garddd they have so many things I want! BUT this year I will not be able to fulfil my Wintery dreams with such lovely things as I will still be in Thailand AND as amazing as it is to have the opportunity to live in my bikini for a whole year (I'm not complaining), I do love my AW wardrobe it is my favourite. As much of a sun worshiper I am for me nothing beats a new bobble hat, cosy jumper and chunky boots.

SO I will admit that I am a little jealous that you guys are all starting to prepare your Autumn and Winter fashions and stocking up on all wonderful layering and snuggly goodies. I can't help but keep oohing and cooing at instagram every time I see a new pair of boots or a new beautiful oversized coat. I do love seeing what you guys have bought so I am super looking forward to seeing your soon to become AW outfit posts and other blog things.

I hope you like this kind of post, I used to have wish lists feature on here quite a lot, I find them quite fun to put together (more fun if you don't manage to delete them) and I do like to share what I am currently loving. Let me know if you love anything I have featured in this wish list or if you have already purchased anything from it. So I can cry! No joking but do let me know and also pop any links in the comments below if you have created any AW wish list on your blog so I can have a nosy. Speak soon xo
