‘Garden Party’ - a style board inspired by pretty florals, a whimsical garden setting, and a soft pastel colour palette…

Ok! So I’ve put this Pinterest style board together to share with you my styling behind some of my tea party jewellery pieces.

What to wear with them, what kind of colours to mix and match with, and what I had in my head about what the overall look would be like.

In this ‘Garden Party’ setting, it’s all about flower crowns, white romantic dresses, pink bow ballet shoes, whimsical bunting cakes, floral jewellery, pastel balloons and round Japanese paper lanterns…

Style Icon: Miriam Haskell

If you ask me which jewellery designer I admire most, the answer to that would be Miriam Haskell. She was one of the most influential designers from the 1920s, and pretty much made the concept of ‘costume jewellery’.

This pin board shows my favourite pieces from the Haskell Jewels collection. My favourite collection of Haskell jewellery today would have to be Legacy: The Pearl Collection. I just love the baroque pearls and intricate vintage filigree work on the pieces for this collection.

Are you a Haskell fan? Would you wear her vintage pieces today?

Colour Palette: Ballerina

Just a mini collage showcasing some flower garden rings from my ‘Petals Collection’. This set was inspired by a ‘Ballerina’ colour palette…Think pastel pinks, ballerina shoes, pink tutus and beige accents.

I would wear this to a really cute high tea party with maybe a white, diamonte studded peter pan collar top, pleated skirt, my orb clutch and peeptoe heels :)
