More Temporary Secretary & Love Hearts and Crosses

I love jewellery. The quirkier the better. I hardly ever go to a high street retailer for it because they all seem to be stocked by companies that produce near identical pieces. In fact, in some cases I'm sure it's the same supplier. Most of my jewellery comes from local independent stores such as Peccadillos in Stafford, who fuel my love of precious stones.

In October I wrote about Temporary Secretary, who were suggested to me by the lovely Rose over Twitter. Now I finally own my own little piece of TempSec thanks to the boy... he had a parcel sent my house over the weekend that enclosed the TAB typewriter ring I had been lusting over.  It came complete with a wonderful little note from Sarah thanking him for his purchase. What a lovely graduation present! (I officially graduate a week on Wednesday.)


My new found love for TempSec has had me looking elsewhere online for gorgeous costume jewellery. I came across Love Hearts and Crosses on Twitter as well... but this time I wasn't thinking just of myself but of others too. I can think of one friend in particular that would love one of these pieces in their Christmas stocking. In fact, she has her very own karma circle tattooed onto her inner arm. Maybe she'll get the necklace to match.

  1. I love Temporary Secretary - I've yet to buy some of her stuff but I love her jewellery!

    I adore the silver bracelets and that triangle necklace!

    Thanks for the comment on my blog - I've only just started out this blog even though I did have a blog earlier this year (I had to delete it tho). My novel is a semi-autobiograhy on myself and my crushes.... haha!!

  8. I adore those Sing, dance, love, live bracelets. I have a couple of plaques on my walL with the same messages. Thanks for the post on my blog - I always end up falling over too, especially when I'm wearing totally inappropriate footwear so I can get photos. X

  10. Ah i love the temporary secretary website, i have such a long wishlist for it! Thank you for the comment on my last blog post about the bham meet up, I was really impressed with the vintage stalls, I managed to snap up a pretty floral dress from there for only £15 which i think is a good price for a vintage dress !:)
