Father's Day Gift Guide

With Father's Day just over a week away, it's the perfect time for this last minute Mum to look for presents for the Dads in her life.

I love watches but with the rise of the mobile phone they seem to have disappeared off the wrists of lots of people, however they look smart on a man and I think these two from Chisholm Hunter would make great gifts.

First up, how about this sleek watch from Hugo Boss, with a date window and chronograph, it shows more than just the time. Still a classic design but also great for todays gadget loving man.

For a more contemporary fashion watch, how about this from Emporio Armani, with its sleek black dial it is sure to be a timepiece that they love for a long time.

For completing a smart look, for work or maybe a wedding, how about some cufflinks? These classic rectangular stainless steel cuff links are a great choice.

Or, for those that love a splash of gold then these fabulous stainless steel rose gold and black cufflinks are great, they'd look fabulous with a smart suit and I love rose gold, it is so soft and looks fabulous on.

I have put together a Pinterest board with some more fabulous items to chose from this Father's Day

Beautiful Jewellery for Mother's Day

Recently, I was approached by Chisholm Hunter to see if i would like to review a piece from their Mother's Day range, not one to turn down jewellery and having gazed in the window of their Nottingham store on more than one occasion, I said yes.

There is currently a divine selection to choose from and the Bronzallure range did not disappoint, I was sent a beautiful rose gold plated bracelet with chalcedony charm, this sent my magpie tendencies into overdrive, and that of my daughter, who cooed over it before being told it was for mummy!

The shipping box was beautifully presented and inside was a fabulous wood effect box containing the bracelet, it shone in the sunlight and I love the rose gold, just beautiful for any skin tone.

The bracelet itself is chunky and the clasp feels sturdy, like it will not break easily. I love the attention to detail, with the tags displaying where it was made and the Bronzallure range name.

It is a fabulously rich colour and I knew instantly what I would style it up with, although at the moment this outfit will have to wait, the rose gold goes perfectly with this gold and black dress and a pair of black patent heels.

But it isn't just for dressing up, I wore the bracelet to tea at my mother in laws house, it didn't feel out of place and just added a bit of glitz to an otherwise every day outfit.

I love how this bracelet looks against my skin, even with my pale complexion, it doesn't wash me out and sits fabulously against my wrist, although this wouldn't be something I would chose myself I am glad I was sent something a bit different. I haven't really worn jewellery much since my children were born, nothing worse than having to pull it off them as they try to chew it or want to wear it themselves.

This will give me a bit of something to glam up my work outfits, trips out with friends and date night. The bracelet costs £89 which I think is about right for a piece of jewellery like this, and because it is so wearable I wouldn't consider it too expensive either. 

The bracelet comes with matching necklace and earrings, perfect if you like to match, I have also put together a Pinterest page with a few of my other favourites so do pop on over and have a look.
