Erm… a trip to Bicester is an acceptable half term activity with a 6yo, right? RIGHT?

Ok lovely people I need some ideas! It’s my 30th this year Mr HoneyStar has asked if I want to pick out some jewellery (or at least give some strong hinted suggestions)…what would you all recommend? My first thought was a tennis bracelet but would love to know if anyone has a sentimental piece/piece of jewellery they received for a milestone that they still love?
Well they do have a playground there - when we went a few years back I left my husband and 5 year old there for a bit while I looked around
I got a tennis bracelet a couple of years ago and tbh I hardly wear it. Even though I love it.
Depending on budget maybe you can have something created especially for you by a jeweller. Epsecially if you have some old gold hanging around that can be used
I was out for dinner yesterday with some friends, one of whom was wearing a tennis bracelet she got for her 40th! It was stunning! She just wears it on special occasions, but that’s probably cos she works with children! I’d say “go for it” if you want a beautiful bracelet! Unlike earrings or a necklace, you get to look at it as often as you like when you’re wearing it!! A bangle might be “easier” to wear on a day-to-day basis. Keep us posted please!!!
Thought I would just update, I was just looking at the new featherlight Puzzle bag and it has feet! It looks really nice from the photos but it’s very expensive…
£3250?! What the duck.
I got a Cartier love bracelet for a milestone birthday- still look at it & love it
( never removed it either ) I have a tennis bracelet but I very rarely wear it for some unknown reason x
Stella McCartney is doing terribly, that’s one hell of a downturn.
I never understood the love for her brand. Imo it eas below average at high end prices
I went a little OTT in recent years getting LV bags, mostly monogram and mostly old/used but now I feel like a have a bag to suit every occasion and every outfit so I’m taking a break from that.
My last two bags I bought in January, two used Alma bb’s in epi leather. One red and one light pink. Both superb condition. Epi leather is very durable.
I’m mostly getting secondhand bits of fashion jewelry, mostly Ferragamo. I would like some old Tiffany pieces. And I’m into blazers at the moment, I got a gorgeous white-ish/silvery/royal blue patterned Etro blazer, and bronze Armani (one of their old, cheaper spin off brands) blazer with black floral detail.
So basically, anything luxury/high end brand I’m getting secondhand (and the rest is Shein!).

Is it me or is Tiffany’s producing really weird jewellery? Usually they do really solid and beautiful silver jewellery but now it’s all these oversized chain links.
I agree! Their new stock is very clunky looking lately.
I ordered diamond solitaire pendant from Tiffany recently…but returned it. It was far too expensive for a tiny chip of a diamond. Plus the chain was only 16 inches long. It nearly choked me trying to tie it!!
Please can someone help me find a new workbag? Criteria are it must zip up / fully close as I have to commute on the train and walk in the rain, be big enough to chuck all manners of things in including an A5 notebook and have pockets for bits so that I don't have to constantly rummage for things. It seems to be impossible to find anything vaguely stylish that meets this. Happy to spend up to £2-3k and will use everyday rather than keep for best. Thanks
My work bag is an Aspinal one. Had it a good few years now and it's dashed around and looks good as new. Their quality is 🤌

In terms of comparments I’d say no bag really does this. Your better of buying those bag liners with individual pockets. I second aspinal for a good quality leather bag

Anya Hindmarch are amazing for the little pockets they have in their bags. Whilst it doesn’t zip up fully there are different compartments for your bits and pieces. I love their luggage
Re handbags.
I'm tempted with a preloved Bayswater for work. To carry laptop, phone, lipstick, the essentials really. Has anyone got any pros/cons over these please?!
I'm currently using an Aspinal Tote. Thanks!

They are heavy, I sold mine and I don’t regret it.
Interesting. Thank you. The search continues!
