Wish List Wednesday - Splendette - Maiden Bangles

Have you guys seen the Splendette Maiden Bangles? They are lush! They're a copy of the classic mid century bangle style and come in a selection of candy colours, I think look good enough to eat.
As I'm sure you all know by now I am a total vintage magpie! Anything shiny and bright I love and the Maiden range is no exception. The bangles come in red, coral, butterscotch, leaf green and black, all with different carved looking effects on them. They have a real Bakelite look to them, Splendette call it 'Fakelite' and they do several other items in this style too.

Splendette is a one woman show based down in Bristol and has been on the go since early 2015, she sells online through her website, at vintage show and has a few wholesale outlets like Collectif. With a backfround in fashion design and buying and a love of all things mid century The Splendette tag line is 'Vintage style jewellery for modern day kittens'.




There are several ranges in the Splendette family, a huge selection of bangles as well as earrings, necklaces and brooches. They also sell Tiki style bangle stands for displaying and keep your collection in order. 

So if you are looking for something to brighten up an outfit or add a little flare you should totally check Spendette out. They have a great Instagram account and are on Facebook too.

Thanks to Splendette for the use of her Photos too xxx

Wish List Wednesday - Bespoke Barware's Cockney Rhyming Range

This week I discovered the delights of Bespoke Barware. They have an East London based studio where they create a wide range of barware including the most amazing tiki mugs. I have fallen for the Cockney Rhyming Range as well as a couple others. The range includes; Vera Lynn (Gin), Fine n Dandy (Shandy), Tom Thumb (Rum), Pig’s Ear (Beer) and Gold Watch (Scotch). 
The Cockney Rhyming Range
I think Vera is my favourite, and coincidentally my Nana's name, unfortunately I can't drink gin as there are far too many tears involved. If we were going for the appropriate mug fro the drink I'd probably have the Tom Thumb in hand most evenings, I do love a dark and stormy!  
Check out that lippy!
Bespoke Barware is the love child of Cheeky Tiki who set up and run some of the UK most famous Tiki and Tropical drinking holes including Mahiki, Kanaloa, Lola Lo & Bodos Schloss. Now Bespoke Barware is the arm of the operation who look after the barware and aesthetic elements. Their main workshop is based in East London with an artisan team of experts in ceramics, woodwork, fiberglass and more. They can create unique one off designs for a personal touch or they can do customising or branding on their current designs for you too.

While going through their many many designs I also spotted the Hemingway Mug and the Blue Lady Mug which are both also to die for! If you are planning a show stopping party of looking for a unique gift for friends or family then you should totally check them out.
