My Disney Jewellery

Hello there! I get a lot of comments on my Disney Jewellery so I thought ‘hey, why not do a post on your jewellery? duh!’

I will start with my Pandora bracelet – I have the original bracelet that they brought out and I keep all of my normal charms on there and then I have this bangle which I have kept for all of my Disney charms!
Basically, Disney now do Pandora Charms some that you can purchase in all stores or exclusively at the Disney Parks! Each time I go to Walt Disney World or Disneyland California, I like to pick myself up one and usually they will have a meaning behind them for me. Here is a link to the charms and bracelets they do!

For example, the black charm (third in from the left) is my latest one that I bought at Christmas. This is the ‘Wishes’ charm which was created for the ‘Wishes’ Fireworks Spectacular that they have in Walt Disney World every night, where the castle lights up, fireworks are set off and they sing the most incredible song ‘Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight’.
I have previously posted about Wishes in my January Favourites (as the song is originally from Pinocchio – in the Disney sense).
This fireworks show has been played at Walt Disney World since 2003 and it is my absolute favourite. Every single time I see this show, I have a tear in my eye and sing every single word. Sadly, they just announced that they are going to be replacing the show which I’m extremely sad about! So I thought that at Christmas time, I wanted to pick up the charm just incase they stopped the show and cancelled the charm (there was a rumour going around that Wishes might get replaced in the park last year).

My other charms include some like the Mickey’s Fun Wheel from Disneyland California – this is one of the iconic rides from Disneyland California. I visited this park for the very first time in October 2015 and I bought this charm as a reminder of my trip!
I also have a Sorcerer’s Hat dangly charm which is the hat from Hollywood Studios (that stood in the middle of the park) and now they have sadly removed this from the park too – so now I see this charm as I little RIP to the Sorcerer’s Hat. *frown*

Others I have are my Fantastic 75th Anniversary charm which I absolutely love! I am a huge Disney fan and have a passion for animation (I am a Computer Animation student, if you do not know already!) and I see Fantasia as such a huge milestone for The Walt Disney Animation Studios as they broke through so many boundaries within animation and really experimented with different techniques and approaches to animation!

I also have a Sleeping Beauty charm which features each of the fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather which run around the outside of the charm. Sleeping Beauty is one of my ultimate favourite Disney movies and when I saw that they released this charm, I knew that I had to pick it up on my next holiday to Walt Disney World!

My other charms feature Mickey and Minnie silhouettes which you can purchase at Pandora Stores in general. The glass beads are not from the Disney Collection although you can purchase certain glass beads that are based on each Disney Princess! (You can purchase these from all stores, I believe!)

__________

Apologies for such a long explanation of my Pandora charms, I do feel like you can really create bracelets that hold certain memories for you personally and it can be nice sometimes to explain these to others who are interested!

Anyway, swiftly moving onto my next item. My Jiminy Cricket necklace was my most worn necklace of all time and is from the amazing Disney Couture who have so many different necklaces, bracelets, ear rings, rings.. If only there was an unlimited amount of money that I owned!
Disney Couture‘s jewellery is really affordable and they have such a huge range of characters from different films. I will leave some links to their Social Media pages and website for you all to have a cheeky look!
Instagram // Website // Twitter
(They have the most incredible Beauty and The Beast range out now for the new film too – check it out!)
My next purchase from them is definitely going to be this Snow White and the Seven Dwarves necklace shown below: (I take it back, I don’t think they still do that necklace as I cannot find it on the website! HEARTBROKEN!!)

Moving onto my final piece, I received this for Christmas off my parents whilst we were on holiday at Walt Disney World. We decided not to buy anybody anything for Christmas and to use that money to go away to Disney for the holidays which was really different for us!

I haven’t been able to find this necklace anywhere on the internet yet, but it is definitely from in the Disney parks. It is real gold and features a Mickey Mouse silhouette and it is the most perfect necklace – nothing too out there and really nice and simple!

The only slightly similar necklace I can find online is this one here.

And now we have come to the end of my Disney Jewellery ‘collection’ although there is not much to it! I am thoroughly enjoying writing these Disney posts and look out for more to come, including some about the Parks, what I like to wear to Walt Disney World, my Disney dress collection and more!
If there’s any posts that you would like to see, then let me know and I’ll have a look into it for you all!

Have a magical day,
Zoe

Black Milk Sample Sale?!

As some of you may know, I LOVE Black Milk Clothing.
Somehow, I only found out about this sample sale yesterday and it’s about 5 minutes away from where I am for now – so I definitely had to go!

Sadly, I didn’t take any photos when I was in there though because my phone had died as I was speaking to my parents whilst I was in the queue.
It was such a fun event, whilst standing in the queue they continue to entertain you by taking some GoPro videos doing the mexican wave, hand out sweets, lots of bubbles..
As you go in, you tend to have a limited amount of time like 15 minutes, to rummage through a pile of your size. These piles are huge and people full on get in there, right in the middle, digging deep! (like me. ha.)
There’s music playing in the background and so many people have a great time that it gives off such a good atmosphere! I would definitely recommend trying to go to one of these sample sales one day!
(Hopefully they’ll do one in Melbourne when I get there..)

There were quite a few items that I wanted, but I can’t be spending loads whilst travelling as it’s a struggle as it is haha! But, I finally narrowed them down..

I got the Cherry Blossom crop which was $10, then I bought this incredible Purple Galaxy Swimsuit for $35 which I will wear with high waisted shorts, some boots and a denim jacket (sometimes!). I absolutely adore their galaxy prints and was going to get the Green Galaxy Leggings too, but I couldn’t afford to buy them all so I sacrificed them as I already have a pair of leggings!

Also, I am in love with the Red Tartan leggings and dresses that they sell – but I didn’t manage to see any of these at all. But when I went on Instagram just now, someone was able to get some this morning!!!!! (I’m assuming they were in the very first group to go in). So jealous! I would’ve definitely have bought the red tartan if I had seen them and sacrificed everything else! But hey, at least they still make the tartan ones online for now! 😀

You can still get the Purple Galaxy Leggings HERE but I’m not too sure they are hanging around for long, as the green ones have been stopped! (which makes me wish I picked them up too now..)

Have you got any Black Milk Clothing? Or been to a sample sale?
Let me know! 😀 I want to know what you all have!

Mens Watches with Womens Outfits?!

 

“The question is, mens watches with womens outfits? Of course! I heard from a company called Invaluable, who asked me the exact question. They are a world premiere, online marketplace for jewellery, watches, antiques, collectibles and even entire estate sales!” I think that men’s watches could definitely be a fashion statement and make the whole thing pop and stand out! I decided to choose this Omega Constellation watch, which you can find HERE. I think that this could stand out, but also comes across as a subtle men’s watch. I would team this with a really cute tea dress, like this one from ASOS – it is by Emily and Fin. I would then accessorise this look with some adorable Jayne T Bar Leather Shoes and a tan bag like this Jack Wills Leather Backpack! I would say that this look is very me, and I would wear this so much! Some might say that it is a bit too much tan/brown, but I LOVE it! Everyone to their own! i highly recommend that you check out Invaluable, as they have some beautiful items that you wouldn’t expect to find just anywhere! Also, keep the mens style/womens style game strong! It’s definitely something that I’m considering to do from now on! What do you guys think about a trend like this? Is it a yes, a no? Let me know! xx

Dailylook LBD (Little Black Dress)

LBD MONOCHROME
with
DailyLook

Need that one Little Black Dress that goes with every occasion, day to night? Well, here’s my pick!

I decided to go for this gorgeous leather maxi dress as you can wear it for an occasion and dress it up, or you can tone it down, put a pair of converse on and make it casual chic!

I decided to go for more of a monochrome feel, instead of the studded look for once. I’m in love with the clear box clutch, it’s such a statement piece! I also thought that the cuff would be simple but bold at the same time!

You can find this LBD and more on Dailylook.com at: http://www.dailylook.com/c/Little-Black-Dresses/3/4125.html

ASOS Molly T-Bar Flat Shoes Review

Recently, I went on a rampage trying to find some brown sandals/flats that I adored – sadly, I couldn’t find any that I loved, but I came across these Molly T-Bar Flat Shoes from ASOS. They come in a few different colours, but I went for white as they’ll go with everything! You can check these out: HERE

These shoes have some really cute cut out detailing on them, and remind me of the type of shoes I would wear to shoes when I was a little girl! They have a gold buckle on the side which is a nice, subtle touch.

I find these shoes really comfy, although I’m usually a Size 5 – I had to get a size bigger as they were just too small at the front!
These are such a versatile shoe as you can wear them with anything, whilst having a cute side to them aswell! I like to wear these with a button down tea dress, with a small brown bag (big enough for my purse and phone). If it’s cold, maybe even a denim jacket on top!

I would definitely recommend these shoes, especially with the small slip-on, toe socks so you can’t see them, but still be really comfortable all day.

What is your favourite type of shoe for the summer? What is your favourite place to get shoes from?

Updated Bikini Post! – Topshop

Here is my new addition to my bikinis! I was actually pretty lucky to find this one, as I went on the Topshop website the night before but thought I’d try get it in-store instead  – none left in my Topshop, but luckily there were loads of them in Debenhams Topshop! Chuffed! Although, when I went home it wasn’t on the website anymore, so unfortunately I cannot link this – but they still have some amazing bikinis on their website right now! (Must resist. Have no money left.)
They have a slightly different version of this, but in pink in the sale HERE – but only Size 6’s left, unfortunately!

This bikini is so gorgeous, I am in love with it – I didn’t think that it would look nice on me (as I have some ‘petite boobies’, to put it that way..) but I actually really liked it! It has tie straps on the back, instead of a plastic clip – but this is extra cute as it has this really adorable ‘double strap’ detail/feature, going onnn!
It also has halter neck straps that you tie together, but you can also remove these if you wish.
The cups are moulded to give a more round look, with the slightest bit of padding on the inside aswell.

The bottoms are high waisted and are so flattering to my shape as I have a small top and a much larger bottom! (*enter minions*)
I just found these really comfy, they make me feel a lot more comfortable with my body as it can hide away a bit of stomach and conceal some butt at the same time! At least it sort of balances out my shape!

It is also a really nice, quilted, stretchy material. I just adore the pattern on this bikini, it will suit almost every skin tone possible! If you also have blue eyes, then they’re going to be crazy blue with this amazing set on!

To browse more incredible Topshop bikinis, then go HERE!

What style of bikini do you all like wearing? Bandeau? Longline Bralette? Triangle? High waisted?
Feel free to suggest some places that I could get amazing bikinis from, too! I’m still on the hunt for more for Australia in August!

The Bikini Post! (Debenhams & Primark)

It is getting closer and closer to my Australia trip, so I thought that I would do a quick, cheeky little post on the bikinis that I have so far!
I thought I had more than this, but don’t you worry, I have had my eyes caught on another few which are in the post, at the moment!

Ok, so firstly I thought that I would tell you a little about my body shape (cringe). I am 5 foot 3, have quite a petite build, small top half and a larger bottom half. That’s that, briefly put! (BRIEFLY put.. funny me).

Moving on – the first bikini that I decided to get was this gorgeous navy floral padded bikini top from Debenhams. This was £26 and can be found HERE. This bikini top has a serious amount of padding going on, which yes I would like a little bit of assistance in that area, but boy it’s a LOT of padding! But still, I really liked the pattern and I feel pretty snug and secure in this one!
It has two options of wear, you can wear the top as a halterneck or strapless – as the straps fold down and back, into a thicker back piece which covers over the original back strap. I think this is great, as I tend to lose straps if I take them off and this one actually stays up without the straps on! This is definitely my favourite bikini so far!

Next bikini I found in Primark, it is this amazing yellow, orange and pink daisy print. This bikini also has a bit of padding (as I don’t want to look like an infant child) but not as much. I think this bikini top was around £8, which was an amazing price! This top also has the option of having a halter neck or a strapless design – exactly the same as the previous Debenhams bikini! I could only get the bikini bottoms in Size 8 and unfortunately they had to squeeze my bum in – so I returned them and hoped they had a larger size, but I’m still trying to hunt them down!

The last bikini that I have for you is also from Primark – this is one of the floaty, swing material tops. I’m not really sure what else I could call this, at this moment in time but I thought this was really cute when I tried it on! It has a layer underneath the front part, to make you feel more comfortable and has a thin layer of padding. You can also untie the straps on both top and bottom, which I had to do to make the bottoms fit more comfortably! I feel that this bikini balances out my proportions a bit, without obviously ‘boosting’ anything – it just creates a bit more depth, I guess, which is great! I have a feeling that this bikini was around £6 for the top and bottoms together, which was amazing!

I have ordered another bikini to try out from ASOS, and I am also thinking of trying one from Topshop and Next – so prepare yourselves for another bikini post! I will also be writing a big post on what I am taking to Australia with me, and I might do a condensed ‘clothing’ post too!

TOKYO VLOG!

So I have finally got around to uploading my Tokyo Vlog – sorry it has taken so long!
I had such an amazing time there and I’m already missing it!

A lot of people have asked about the Studio Ghibli Museum aswell, as there was a tiny bit of footage – I wasn’t allowed to take photos or record in there sadly, but it was a stunning building with character stained glass windows and lots of tunnels and holes for you to walk through!

Hope you enjoy!

Here is my YouTube Channel.

Liebster Award!

So, some lovely bblogger had nominated me for the Liebster Award on here! The only problem was that I was so busy at the time, that I am only now getting around to it and have completely forgot who nominated me – so I’d like to say: I’m sorry, but thank you for asking me to do this!

Here we go then..

What beauty product could you not live without?
I could not live without eyeliner, mainly for appearance-wise. I feel that eyeliner frames me face completely and can transform my ‘morning’ face and make me look slightly decent! My eyeliner of the moment is the KissMe Heroine Make Smooth eyeliner from Japan – it is literally like a sharpie to the eyes! I struggle to get it off with a miscellar water!

What beauty product could you live without?
I could definitely live without stuff like foundation, this is mainly because I only recently started to wear it – yes, it gives me coverage, but I don’t really mind if I don’t wear any! Although, my favourite one so far is definitely Rimmel’s Wake Me Up Foundation!

What is your favourite inspirational quote?
I’m not really a person for quotes, but an inspiration of mine is Anne Frank and I always love her quote:
“Think of all the happiness still around you, and be happy”.

What is your dream job?
My dream job would be in a design studio, either working on pattern design, illustration or web design. I would also love it to be somewhere else other than the UK, I love to travel too much.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
I really want to travel around America and Canada – I would also like to live out there swell. I would then like to explore the more ‘hidden’ places of the world!
Although from August onwards, I am going to be living in Australia for 12 months, then visiting NZ, Fiji and America!

If you could meet anyone one person who would it be?
This was a really hard question. I would probably say that I’d love to meet Vivienne Westwood one day – she is such an inspiration and a strong woman. I love her style and how she presents herself!

Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging as I wanted to become more organised and schedule things out. I thought that blogging would really help with this. Also, I tend to talk and talk about things that my flatmates are really interested in, so I thought that I should show my opinions and thoughts with likeminded people, that have the same interests!

Where do you get most your inspiration for blog posts?
I mainly like to blog about whatever comes from my head. My blog started out as mainly a beauty blog at first, but I have ventured into writing book reviews, film reviews, travel posts, technology.. My blog has basically turned into an ‘all of Zoe’s interests’ kind of theme!

Do you have any other hobbies other than blogging?
I really enjoy reading, illustration and running. Other than them, I really like to travel, see new things and meet new people!

How would you describe your style in 3 words?
I would say that my style isn’t really a particular style – I tend to change a lot and mainly wear certain things for comfort and my body type. I never use to wear dresses or be adventurous with clothing, but now I am completely a dress, tights and boots girl!
I do enjoy wearing a pair of thick leggings with a long tshirt though – comfortable, but not too lazy looking!

What’s? your favourite clothing store?
I don’t think I really have a favourite clothing store, I don’t tend to buy that many clothes now because I have to sort my old clothes out first and being low on money, with no job in my third year! Although, I am starting to grow a rather big love for ASOS, it’s just so easy to return items and they present the clothes really well on the website. I would say that I do like to shop in places like New Look, Urban Outfitters, Topshop (rarely, due to the price, but they do have some nice things every now and then – although quality is sometimes pretty bad in their tshirts). and H&M for the rare basics that I need!

Sunshine Award!

I have been nominated to write my own Sunshine Award from a lovely bblogger! This is such a good idea as it really lets your readers get to know you a lot better! I copy & pasted the questions, but feel free to add questions or ask me any in the comments! I will answer them (within reason) 😀
If you want to do the Sunshine Award too, throw me a link to your blog post – I’d love to read your answers!

1. Are you a student? If so, what do you study?
I am a student! I am currently in my third year of university, studying BA Hons Graphic Communication – which is basically Graphic Design sounding all fancy!

2. Why did you start your blog? Is it just recently?
I have recently started my blog, mainly because I have a passion for talking about the things that I love. I also think that my flatmates are bored of hearing about me talking about things that they aren’t interested in too, haha! I had a blog previously, but I ended up deleting it mainly because I didn’t have enough time to submit routined posts! Another reason for me starting up a blog, is because I am rubbish at keeping a scheduled routine for things like blogs – so this will definitely push me to deliver!

I have now started a YouTube channel too, which so far are mainly vlogs, but will start to have beauty/book/nerdy related videos on there too! It is: http://www.youtube.com/nuggetstumpblog

3. Have you ever dyed your hair? If so, what colour/shade?
I had only dyed my hair for the first time, about 4 years ago. I decided that I wanted to go an Auburn colour, but most of my blonde hair came through within a month and was back to normal! Other than that, I do have slightly lighter blonde dip dye sections to my hair, also!

4. Have you travelled anywhere?
I have a passion for travelling and visiting new places! I have visited a few places such as Denmark (as some of my family live there), France, Italy and America (Florida and New York). I will also be travelling to Tokyo with university in February 2014, which is so exciting!

5. Sent to an deserted island, 3 products to bring.. what are they?
If it’s Non-lifesaving products, then I’d probably take 1984 by George Orwell as it’s my favourite book and I could read it over and over. (I am already stuck on things, I keep thinking of stuff like iPad, although obviously that wouldn’t exactly work..)
I would probably take a sketchbook with me so I could illustrate and document certain things. The last thing I would take is either liquid eyeliner or a bobble bottle! (I know, I cheated..)

6. Have you got any siblings?
I have one sibling, a brother. He is 3 years older than me and is a successful tattoo artist that has been featured in several tattoo magazines! He recently did my new C-3PO tattoo, which I have posted a video on my YouTube channel about!

7. For this A/W 2013, do you have a favourite trend?
My definite ‘trend’ for A/W 2013 has to be wearing dark opaque tights, with long socks over the top and brown, knee length boots! I will wear these with a dress and parka, or my Barbour coat! Or high waisted denim shorts!

8. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Still blogging?
I certainly do hope that I will still be blogging in 5 years time! Within 5 years time, I am hoping to live somewhere in America temporally! I couldn’t think of anything more that I would want in life!

9. What camera do you use to take your blog photos?
For my blog, I usually take photos with my Canon 450D, but I now have a new compact camera with HD Video for my upcoming YouTube ventures and vlogs – which is the Samsung MV900F, that has a really handy flip screen!

10. Are you a Youtuber? If not, would you like to be?
I most certainly am, I am a newbie to the YouTube world! My channel is youtube.com/nuggetstumpblog
I have recently posted vlogs, but will venture to small hauls and topic related videos soon.

11. What is your pet hate?
My pet hate is definitely people that don’t have manners! Especially when you will hold a door for somebody, and they don’t even have the decency to thank you. I’m not sure about others, but to me, a quick ‘thank you’ goes a long way and can make me feel a lot better instantly!
