<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With Summer in full swing (or at least whenever it feels like it), I have noticed that I am migrating towards warmer colours in my accessories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I find that in S/S I go for golds and warm tones and then in the Winter I prefer silvers and purples. Why is this? There must be some psychology behind it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapbT3zTFRVXXYNVhau-uggnX6qmhMPfu1W-l83-pq64pOX3IMlk1webP27bWHyojPGLPYQYMgyfpcsZbHmAb0BIlHT82aIeV3QYkX-00BxIvpVRgfWwAqRKLVyCZD1oMj-Pcu2ccEdEVg/s1600/goldandjade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapbT3zTFRVXXYNVhau-uggnX6qmhMPfu1W-l83-pq64pOX3IMlk1webP27bWHyojPGLPYQYMgyfpcsZbHmAb0BIlHT82aIeV3QYkX-00BxIvpVRgfWwAqRKLVyCZD1oMj-Pcu2ccEdEVg/s640/goldandjade.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Oooooooohhh faannnccyyy- rounded corners!)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of pieces I have been wearing a LOT of late are this bead and skull bracelet<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*</span> from <b><a href="http://www.uniquebeads.co/" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Unique Beads</a></b> (£5) and these dinglydangly earrings from <b><a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/jewellery/earrings/turquoise-coin-hoop-drop-earrings-619461" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">River Island</a></b> (£12). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The earrings are long, jazzy and make a little tinkling noise as they move. I heart them so very much with volumised curly hair and a plain top/dress. This is a bit old school Disney, but they sort of remind me of Esmarelda from the Hunchback of NotreDame.

Lou's Reviews :: Scarlett Hearts Handmade Jewels

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Spinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As those of you who have read this blog for a while (a big 'Hello' if you're new!) will know, I am a keen crafter and lover of all things handmade. I really do value something someone has put time and effort in so much more than something that has been mass made on a factory production line. That's not to say I don't own boxes and boxes of tangled up primark jewels, but I do hold a special place in my heart for a girl who can make gorgeous accessories.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.scarletthearts.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow"><b style="color: magenta;">Scarlett Hearts</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></a>is one such shop. I was recently sent some beautiful pieces<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*</span> and although I think I showed you them in a video, I felt they needed to be oogled a bit more! I won't go on and on like a drain (do drains go on and on??) because you can see the pictures for yourselves and the link is above, but I must say, I do like them! I'm not really too 'out there' with jewellery, but for me, this is quirky and cute and just what I'm looking for in life. Aside from a million pounds, a hunky gardener, a pink unicorn....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjviaRPKBUcbHR2ScAI3kGyvSmsorSDf1n_hJ4-MNuQ8qFTpWvethy0o_u6DVNo7GAM0WfmeFKZ5yZc3tOOkMzqZ2dgOUlCrkNQPfuqGq4r0KNvlGhHChnV2hyphenhyphenl3-6fvZg3c5agXnLppkmM/s1600/IMG_5978.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjviaRPKBUcbHR2ScAI3kGyvSmsorSDf1n_hJ4-MNuQ8qFTpWvethy0o_u6DVNo7GAM0WfmeFKZ5yZc3tOOkMzqZ2dgOUlCrkNQPfuqGq4r0KNvlGhHChnV2hyphenhyphenl3-6fvZg3c5agXnLppkmM/s640/IMG_5978.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All my bits and bobs were beautifully packaged.

I like how it opens up and you can hide secrets inside. Aren't secrets devilishly exciting? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If I could make one minor improvement (and this is not a criticism, just a personal opinion), I would have liked the chain to be the same colour metal as the snitch, but other than that, I was one happy bunny!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have a mo, do go and have a browse of the Scarlett Heart shop, it's a treasure trove of goodies.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you a handmade gal? Do you secretly love Harry Potter as much as me? Do you like secrets? Do you think I'm asking too many questions? Do you?
