Scarlett Hearts Golden Snitch Necklace (Review)


I've brought a few necklaces from online jewelry store 'Scarlett Hearts' this summer and after getting plenty of wear from all of them, I thought I'd review my favourite for you all - Scarlett Hearts' Golden Snitch Necklace!

Being a Harry Potter nerd, as soon as I saw this necklace, I knew I had to have it! The piece is a handmade mini 'Golden Snitch' with two golden wings which opens to store a special photo or something small inside! I got the necklace on a short chain as I own so much on long chains and it hangs and has lasted perfectly. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was that the wings weren't fixed in the position they appear in on the site, but I have really learnt to love them moving round and actually think it gives more movement and life to one of my favourite little props from the movies! I've had so many people ask if my necklace was from Harry Potter and its so exciting to be able to say yes and explain more about it!

The speed of service from the company was fantastic - delivered in only a few days in a cute little red bag to keep it in and room for a special something inside, it just confirms that its the little touches that designers add to their pieces which make them so fabulous!

For only £6, the Scarlett Hearts' Golden Snitch Necklace perfect for any Harry Potter fan - I'm going to be wearing it to the WB Studio Tour next weekend too, to show off my nerdiness!

Animal Tima Mittens [Review]


The weather in the UK has suddenly gone from a warm autumn to a freezing winter in a matter of weeks, so I figured it was time to look at purchasing something to keep my fingers warm this holiday season. The big problem with gloves is that they are SO easy to lose but when I saw these mittens, I couldn't resist purchasing them.

They are handmade and the tag even features the line "Handmade and Ever So Slightly Individual". The gloves themselves are so soft and feature a fleece lining inside to keep your fingers warm in the coldest of conditions. The pattern of the weaved snowflake is adorable too and individual also.

I chose a pair in the colour 'White Swan' as I loved the contrast of the blue and white hues with the button detailing. I actually brought a pair to give to my sister for Christmas and a pair for myself (that I've given to my Mum to give to me for Christmas!).

What kind of gloves are you rocking this winter? Let me know in the comments below!
