Cross-Jones Photography - Nelson Family Reunion Photoshoot

Thought I would give you a little look at the shoot we did last week for the Nelson Family, you can check it out on the Cross-Jones Photography blog or on our facebook page. Please take a peek and let us know what you think.

This is little Imarni we took photos of when she was just 10 days old, she is now 5 months old and has grown so much!

Outfit Post - Butterfly Dress in the Sun

Just a little outfit post for you all. Me and Jon did a lovely family photo shoot last week, we just managed to catch one of the few days of good weather we have had in Cardiff and the photo's came out beautifully. Just check the link above if you would like to see a few of them. I bought this dress a while ago from TKMaxx but had yet to actually wear it, I thought the glorious weather was perfect for wearing this dress. I originally had my Daisy Print cardigan on too, but it was way too warm.

Some pictures of me with my glasses on! You don't see them very often.

 Dress: Lili via TKMaxx

Sandals: M&S

Watch: Vivienne Westwood

Studs: Stella & Dot

Glasses: Osiris

Found any bargain recently? Are you a TKMaxx kinda girl or are you not into sorting through all the rails? 

Jewellery - The Stella & Dot Zoe Lariat Challenge

This is the Stella & Dot Zoe Lariat £85. At my trunk show our stylist Louise said there was 12 ways to wear this piece but she didn't know what they all were, so she challenged us to find them all.

We took that challenge!!! Rachel offered to be our model for the night!

 Thats's 12...and here's 1 more for luck!

So thats 1 piece for £85 which can be wore at least 13 ways - just £6.53 for each way making it quite reasonable (women logic there!)

What do you think of the piece? Do you like the idea of a multi-functioning piece of jewellery? Would you buy the Lariat? 

Events - Stella and Dot Trunk Show Night

2 weeks ago I hosted a Stella & Dot party with the awesome local stylist Louise James. We had a fun filled few hours with some lovely ladies and blogging girls, trying on all the pretty jewellery and having fun with the Zoe Lariet Necklace (we found 13 ways to wear it! Watch out for post on it later in the week). So here are a few photos of the beautiful items we saw.

Me and Louise - she let me borrow her awesome Ginger Layering Necklace 

 

This year they also have an awesome bag, purse, clutch and jewellery holder collection!

 These bangles are some of my fav items. And at £15 they are pretty well priced too.

 Laura from Side Street Style really loved the Maldives Necklace 

Some of the lovely ladies who attended the evening, wearing their favourite items!

And here is my little purchase from the night, they arrived super fast after the event and they even come in these really cute little boxes! These are really great for sending as gifts I think.

The boxes come with little messages too!

My stunning Vintage Twist Bracelet and matching Soiree earrings. I have been wearing them lots this last week.

So ladies what's your favourite Stella and Dot item? Have you check out their site before? If not take a look at all the items on offer here, they have a really great sale section too!  If you would like to know more about hosting a party or would love to shop for some of the beautiful pieces above just use the link here.
