Review: Miu Miu sunglasses from wantsunglasses.co.uk

I’m very honoured that the wonderful people over at wantsunglasses.co.uk have sent me these genuine Miu Miu sunglasses to review!

They came packaged in the official pink Miu Miu box.

And the actual case to the glasses is lined with gold material that is soft and furry to the touch. They also came with the official Miu Miu cleaning cloth.

The speedy delivery on these glasses was amazing! They were sent out Wednesday afternoon and were delivered Thursday! I usually have a problem with items delivered by courier as I’m not in during the day but wantsunglasses thought of that and had given there consent for my parcel to be left with a neighbour! I’m really impressed that they value there customers so much that they would think ahead in order to make life easier!

The sunglasses are in perfect condition and are heaven to wear! The frame is very robust and has a black gloss finish. It has the Miu Miu logo in silver on the side. The style of these glasses is oversized and they fit perfectly on my face which is really rare for me as I have a very small head! The lenses are square and light grey tinted to protect your eyes from harmful sun rays.

What I love about these glasses is that whilst they are the oversized style, they still incredibly light weight. They also come in a variety of colours/styles.

Review: Petal Berry Pendant by Flawed Perfection Jewelry by Megan Reynolds

I’m very lucky as the wonderful Megan from Flawed Perfection Jewelry by Megan Reynolds at Etsy and her site has sent me this Bridal Petal Berry Pendant and Chain to review.

It came in this lovely gift box which makes it ideal as a gift or just to treat you

Now I know it’s a bridal item but I fell in love with the delicate pearl set on the silver chain. Since I’m so pale silver jewellery really suits my skin (the way gold suits dark skins) but to be honest I’ve never really liked that much silver items until now!

The pearl is fixed securely onto the silver pendant which is then set on the 16 inch sterling silver chain so it sits neatly just under my neckbone, However if you want your necklace lengthened to an 18 inch chain simply contact Megan and she’ll change it for you. Talk about service!

The pearl is also avaiable in other colours so the neckalce can be customized to what colour you want. You can also buy matching earrings which compliment the necklace perfectly.

Currently Megan has her limited edition pieces for fall/winter 2010 so check them out before they sell out!

Megan is based in the USA but I received my necklace to me here in the UK really fast and it was securetly packaged. For any delivery questions simply contact Megan

Also check out her facebook page and blog

It reminds me of Blair's necklace in gossip girl too!
