bling ring

BRVTVS three bar cuff // BRVTVS two bar cuff // BRVTVS medium vectis earring

You know me, I'm a jewellery gal. A few pieces of new and old BRVTVS brightening up my thesis writing uniform of stripes and overalls. I'm going to keep adding to this collection whenever I can (especially because I lost my little vectis earrings, twas a sad sad day let me tell you), because I love the refined, delicate look of this anti-bling. There's something so wonderful about little touches of gold winking out from beneath hair. I'm never going to get tired of it. It's a simple look, but you know me, I'm a simple girl. I like things that you love from the start, and that you put on straight away, and that you never, ever, want to take off.

taking stock

1 and 3 - Miranda Kerr by Alasdhair Mclellan for Vogue UK September 2013 2 - Fashion Guitar

If I still wrote wardrobe planning lists - maybe I should bring them back, hmmm? - miranda would be on the top of the agenda. Not miranda herself per se, she's a babe and all, but she's just a little bit too perfect. I mean miranda in this editorial. This summer I want an extra piercing in my ear (sleepers, natch), tousled, beachy wave, the kind of tan that glows and a pair of double strap birkenstocks - in classic black or a washed-out taupe - for wearing with everything and nothing, jeans and tee shirts, and never taking them off.

the ear

Cassi Van Den Dungen for Ryan Storer

I'm still in love with fashion's current obsession with the ear. I've been permanently attached to my matching set of BRVTVS vectis earrings and delicate little cuff, but right now I have my eye on a little duo of refined bling by Ryan Storer. There's something to so wonderful about the way his pieces contrast technical ingenuity (I've tried on those ear cuffs and the way they hook to your ear is fantastic) with a real sense of ceremony. Out of all the four corners of the jewellery world the earring is the one that fells the most special as you clip it/fix it on. The dream scenario would be sitting at a dresser, hair curled over one shoulder, leaning ever so slightly forward to catch the right angle in the mirror. But even the way I do it - harried and rushed in the front seat of the car, window shade hanging down - does the trick. It's a small touch of elegance that is often overlooked, and one that I'm looking to add to slick all-black COS ensembles for the few evenings out I have planned before the thesis lockdown really begins.

alchemy

BRVTVS Parvus Vectis earrings // BRVTVS small three bar cuff // PetiteGrand Custom bracelet

My jewellery of choice at the moment is celebrating gold in all of its forms. A pair of line earrings - little slivers of things - and the most delicate of conch ear cuffs have been permanently attached from my ears since they arrived in a parcel all the way from New York. I've been pairing them with very little else - except for my beloved PetiteGrand custom bracelet. The HR hangs low from my wrist, an extra special, extra lovely piece of gold that is so much a part of me now that I don't even notice that it's there. Just as good jewellery ought to be.
