Shilala Necklace Review : Whistles


Sometimes a girl just has to treat herself, right?  As I mentioned in a previous blog I used to buy a lot of stuff.  Retail was my therapy and I would be a big fat liar if I said I was now a non-shopper.  My Amazon delivery guys can attest to that.

I am now much more about quality over quantity though, so when I saw someone on YouTube sporting this necklace from Whistles (apologies I forget who it was...probably ViviannaDoesMakeUp or Lily Pebbles?), I just had to investigate.  It's simple design and chain length really appealed to me.

I've never purchased anything from Whistles before so was not sure what to expect.  I anticipated that they would be quite a high price point, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw this neckalce was only £25 and with free UK delivery.

Now I know you can find cheaper necklaces and believe me I have tried many in my lifetime, but they tend to tarnish quite quickly (usually around the sweaty neck area) so they never quite feel good value for money.

Shopping Experience:
I have had a good first experience using Whistles online shop [www.whistles.com] and will be looking further at their site.  My only criticism is the size of the packaging the necklace came in.  It's a lovely box, but massive for the size of the product and feels very wasteful.

The Product:
Now I've only owned this necklace for a couple of days, but so far I am impressed with the look and quality.  

I will update this blog in the future when I've worn it for longer - fingers crossed it does well.

Have you ever used Whistles online?  What was your experience?

2017 Erin Condren Monthly Planner

Image
For several years now I have been watching excited American women unbox and gush sheer joy over an item called the Erin Condren Life Planner. Put off by the prices and high shipping costs I sought, and found, a very viable alternative in my Plum Paper Planner.  I enjoyed this product so much I re-purchased and will do a future post on my latest Plum Planner . However I recently learnt that EC do more than just Life Planners and when I'd watched a few unboxing videos on the monthly planner product range, I am ever so slightly ashamed to admit I finally succumbed. How did I justify the expense this time? I'd been given birthday & Christmas money early - so can't waste it sitting in the bank! I wanted something to specifically plan my blog in separate to my general life planner I'm a complete sucker for pretty stationery! Thing is though - it doesn't stop with the personalising of said planner.  No, before you know it you're adding ext...

Sticker Love

Image
OK so confession time - deep breath.... My name is Sarah and I am a sticker geek.  Sad but true. It's not a recent habit I have developed, more of a rediscovery of my childhood self. So if stickers are not your thing then I will not object to you skipping this post! I remember as a child deciding that the light switch in my bedroom was just too dull as it was, so I chose to cover it in butterfly stickers and as I grew older I strangely NEVER regretted doing it.   As I became a working adult I tried other, more grown up things like post it notes and page flags. These are great but no where near as much fun as stickers! Then a year or so ago I got my new planner ( Plum Paper Planner Review 2015/16 ) and started searching around on Etsy for planner related accessories....the result is that I now have a bit of an addiction to all things planner sticker related. So rather than hide my sticker shame I thought I would instead embrac...

July Goals 2016

Image
Given my poor performance in June I have decided to only go for two goals this month. July should be a month of BBQs and beer gardens but in typical UK style the weather is interfering with that plan.  So instead I'm going to use this month as an opportunity to deep clean the house. Yes the whole house. "No way" I hear you cry but there are two motivational factors for me that guarantee I will do it... 1) I have a week off work and will be spending Monday to Friday mostly on my own, as boyfriend is working, so may as well apply myself usefully. 2) I have my too oldest friends coming to stay for the weekend soon.  I cannot let them witness the dog hairs rolling around the floors! So I'm feeling quite optimistic about achieving that one. I've been debating my second goal quite a lot. Swinging from a blog based one to a lifestyle one. The winner is...blog based. Since my May Goals , I have managed to consistently blog twice a week, except for one...
