Lovely Les Nereides

I've always been a fan of Les Nereides. Whimsical, charming and pretty. I'm obsessed with the pretty enamel colours and want everything in the collection at Accessories Online. These are my favourites:


I only have spindly little fingers, so I can't wear jewellery like this. But I love this circus tent ring (£44.07 down from £62.95). Please buy it so I can live vicariously through you.


Eiffel Tower, romance, dangly bits. What more do you want from your earrings? They're £139.95.


This is my favourite piece. It's a little cafe! On a dangly necklace! With a SAUSAGE DOG. Utterly adorable. This is going to be mine very very soon. I just need to find £99.95 first. Where's my spare change jar?

Domestic Sluttery pester Lisa Galibardy

Pretty, magical and whimsical. Three words that can sum up Lisa Galibardy's rather special jewellery range. Every piece looks like it belongs in a fairy tale. Beautifully crafted, but without losing their fun appeal. I want everything, but it's the fairytale-inspired cocktail rings that have really caught my attention. So I caught up with Lisa and had a chat with her about her new collection.

What's your favourite piece from the new collection?

My favourite pieces at the moment are the Buffalo ring and Carousel Horse. They're a mix of the tough and the whimsical, lots of intricate detailing


What inspires you?

Inspiration is all around, all of the time. I only use one source: the universe!


Where do you go when you're looking for new inspiration?

Car Boot Sales! The idea for the 3D components came from my interest old ornaments at car boot sales

What are your favourite London shops?

Liberty has always been my favourite, I love their window displays, especially their recent display using Liberty fabric on a huge Hansel and Gretel style dress.


What inspires you when you're looking at interiors?

Interesting use of old furniture and mixing different time periods

What's your best interiors buy?

1950's Angel lights - £10 from a charity shop.



And finally....

What's your fail safe dish that you always cook when you want to impress?

Cooking is not my forte, that’s my mum’s department. If we have guests I whizz around to hers and pick up some hot curry dishes she has prepared for me. Alternatively, it’s comfort food all the way – love a hot buttered jacket potato – simple deliciousness.

A bird in hand is worth two... Astley Clarke Bling

This lovely little fingery treat came to my attention in our Twitter feed (thanks Hannah!) I'm in love with it. Usually, I wouldn't like the whole double ring thing (a bit too hip-hop for my taste, rather unsurprisingly I can't pull off that look at all). But, this is delicate and pretty and has little diamonds and pearls in it! And, it's pretty. Did I mention it's pretty?


Oh, and it's £330 from Astley Clarke which has made me a little bit mad because something this gorgeous should be adorning my hands as I type. I would write the most beautiful blog posts on the whole world with that on my fingers.

There's No Such Thing As Too Much Bling When It Comes To A Cocktail Ring!

At Domestic Sluttery HQ, you know we adore sipping cocktails and wearing pretty cocktail dresses. Therefore it's fairly essential that we have suitable accessories. Such as a ridiculous statement cocktail ring. Or two if we're feeling particularly decadent.

This murano glass leopard ring gives just the right amount of "look at me!" glamour whilst being chicly understated and is a rather lovely £28 from Pearl And Butler

If you're after something a little more sparkly, Pearl And butler also have this rather sparkletastic pink diamanté circle ring which would co-ordinate so nicely with a Pink Gin don't you think? And at only £14, you'd still have change from a crisp £20 for a drink!

For all out bling and glitzy glamour though, you'd need to find £3,600 for this fantabulous Bombe ring by Kiki McDonough. Packed with amethysts, garnets and blue topaz, it is a rather lovely thing indeed.
