‘I Can’t Seem to Get Rid of the Horses’
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know I’m not a jewellery person. I only own a handful of pretty pieces, but often have to remind myself to put them on before I leave the house. Rings are a generally a no-no (I fiddle with them too much!), and I haven’t worn earrings for around 5 years (ditto!). That was until I got these Horse Studs from London-based designer Smith/Grey at Bottica. If I’m going to adorn myself with pieces of metal, they have to be cute pieces of metal, and what could be cuter than a horses rear-end sticking out of your ear lobe..?! Their entire collection is full of horses, but this quirky pair of studs were my favourite piece – I can pretend I’ve got a miniature golden horse jumping through my head!
Another addition to my slowly growing collection is this adorable key bracelet from Benita Blue, and a new pal in the form of this little mouse that grabs on to my little finger – a gift from my best friend Katie who has just opened her own online jewellery shop, Cherry Humbug, where you can find Mr. Mouse for a mere £3.
I’m not ready to start spending any serious dosh on jewellery, but like nail polish, I’m learning to try and appreciate it, which is usually accomplished a lot quicker when said item is animal-themed – next on my wish list is this beauty! x
P.S – I’m totally working on a DIY with all of those pearls! Watch this space…
Earrings - Smith/Grey via Bottica | Bracelet - Benita Blue | Ring - Cherry Humbug Dress - Family Affairs | Cardigan - Licia Florio
Those are some truly fantastic earrings! I always get stuck in a rut of wearing the same ones.. need to get some more interesting ones like those!
Also great print on that dress
Such a gorgeous dress, and that coat is beautiful! Your earrings are so so cute, and I can’t wait to see your DIY!

Aren’t they beautiful and delicate so femine – see our beautiful designer kaftans and floaty tops http://www.bluemojito.co.uk
I have the mouse ring! Bought it at a vintage fair a while ago. I love it because its just small and delicate enough to make me feel like I’ve actually made an effort when it comes to accessories.
Very cute. Love the orange cardigan too
And your eyes are amazing xx
The bracelet and ring are so cute!! I may have to buy mr mouse! I have a panther version of the horse earring, though its so heavy it hurts my ears!
Beautiful photos as always.
Those earrings are so cute! They make me wish I had my ears pierced! I love these photos, and of course, your hair looks amazing.

Oh my, I love the mouse ring!
Nice jewellery box ! And I love the ring and the earing !
Hi Carrie! I’m new to your blog – your photos are beautiful! Do you ever share what equipment you use? In this set for instance? And how you edit these? I read your post on making your photos look vintage in Photoshop, but can you share how you edited these to look so airy and glowy?
Thank you!
love this idea

those pearls are pretty!!
the horse earrings are adorable!!! you have pretty photos..!
I am kind of the opposite — I have collected so much jewelry over the years (from working at a jewelry counter), and I don’t remember to put it on!
The ring is adorable. It reminds me of a cat ring I had when I was younger.
I am really liking those earings–so pretty and different.
i wear the same jewellery all the time but think I prob should mix it up a bit and wear some more fun pieces.
Those earrings are beyond cute, you have great taste xoxo

Even if you are like me, you are likely a little tired from hearing about all of the little things which you can do to increase traffic to your blog. I tried plenty different tools and methods and whenever i eventually settleed on one, it was the simplest of all. You just plug in the URL that you wish to promote, hit go, and wait for the traffic to flood your website. Everything else is done semi-automatically behind the scenes.
