Stella & Dot

We held a Stella & Dot Trunk show at our flat in Edinburgh. A very exciting array of jewellery, from rings to bracelets to necklaces, was produced by the stylist Steph. As they do not sell any jewellery in stores, they rely on the stylists to spread the word and hold Trunk shows weekly. Anyone can be invited and if they like one of the items they can order them through the stylist. It is an amazing brand, and I certainly think it will be a great success. Check out their website here.

Volha

I don't know much about Volha jewellery, apart from that I love it! This is due to articles on the pieces being written in Russian - not my forte! I discovered it through the incredible stylish Russian beauty Miroslava Duma. Made with agate stone, rhinestones and chain, the bold necklaces come in every sort of colour combination. Each piece would add a very special touch to any outfit. Their Facebook page displays their wide ranging collection, check it out here.

& Other Stories

& Other Stories is an incredibly exciting new luxurious label created by the ex-designers of Acne and Lanvin, and the founders of COS and H&M. The store will be hitting London's Regents Street as well as Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan and Stockholm. H&M's big sister is still affordable but unique to the high street, with a personal touch of the individually dip-dyed paper bags to take away your goodies in. Looking forward to getting my hands on some chunky platforms, simple cut blazers and gold jewellery. The label will be launched online from tomorrow, so check it out here.

Ben Pentreath's shop

I finally got the opportunity to delve into the fabulous shop of Ben Pentreath. Tucked away on a little side street off Conduit Street in London, this jam packed shop has everything from prints to ceramics to endless inspiring books. The shopkeeper knew anything about everything - definitely a great place for presents, or even a treat for yourself!

STELLA & DOT JEWELLERY SALE: THIS SATURDAY!

Grain Store, Grassmarket

This was a real treat and for a great price! We decided to do Valentine's lunch instead of supper, and at the Grain Store, on the picturesque Victoria Street, it was just £12.50 for 2 courses and £15.50 for 3. From the menu we selected some delicious smoked salmon with pickled cucumber, and for main course we had moist duck and pork, with some fantastic seasonal veg. The atmosphere was super cosy, and we couldn't resist ending the meal with a cheeky chocolate pud!

Unicorn Antiques

At the bottom end of Dundas Street in Edinburgh, there is a real gem of an antique shop. Unicorn antiques, although slightly overcrowded, is full of treats and trinkets. From gold jewellery to beautiful pieces of furniture, you are unlikely to be disappointed. The stairs outside go down into the basement where there are some even more fantastical finds. If you're looking for some one-off crockery sets of old Beatrix Potter editions (my favourite!) there is an enormous array of delights to dig through!

Red Squirrel, Edinburgh

Slightly further afield from my flat, this American type diner, the Red Squirrel, is a new discovery. Located on Lothian Road, they offer delicious cocktails, a wide range of beers and scrummy food. We went for the burgers, which, although a bit dry, had a great selection of fillings. The atmosphere was great, with some Johnny Cash playing in the background, and the perfect place to go after watching a movie at the Filmhouse just across the road!

She combines the sparkly stones with rough and ready rope and PVC elevating her products to a unique position among contemporary jewellery designs. Shourouk's colour combinations and techniques have earned her prestige and is often approached to work on collaborations such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Shanghai-Tang and Swarovski.
