Vases

I am currently on the lookout for a vase, I am moving to London in September so I am considering how to make myself feel at home within the student accommodation. 

My ideal purchase would be something rather expensive and luxurious, however as stated I am a student so I cannot spend an amount worthy of high quality jewellery on a item meant to simply hold flowers. 

I have some pointers that I want the vase to withhold: tall enough to enable a long stem, either wooden or ceramic in natural colours: dark wood or beiges, natural greens, soft grey for ceramic, matte or lacquered. No lip or medium sized lip over the edge for the stem to lean on and the petals/fluffy flower heads to overhang. 

The type of flower I am considering to fit the vase is to be long stemmed with small flowers. Gypsophila ( also known as baby breath) is an ideal accompaniment. Or something sparser made up of a few stems with slimline petals and leaves.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Elephant suede Palma sandals

As usual once a purchase is made from a select brand or designer, confirming their quality and suitability I form an obsession with them. This claim I make is linked to the designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh.

After my initial purchase of sandals (sophie in copper suede) provided luxurious comfort and style, followed by my second purchase of the knitted two piece sustaining this status, I knew another purchase had to be made, secure I am not going to be let down. 

This has led to my purchase of the Palma sandals in elephant suede (the colour not the actual material!). The colour is almost indescribable, in certain lighting the grey tones vary being darker and lighter. The colour combined with the suede is physical indulgence. 

Now all I need is for their winter collection to be released to collate more knits and suede.

A two piece is a concept I have been eager to fulfil. The display of wearing matching items creates an image of ultimate organisation.

This knitted duo is the ideal twin set. The colour mix of the knit creating a warm cinnamon is aesthetically delicious. The hue combined with a tan is beautifully enhancing which greatly matches my skin tone. The idea of a vest and cardigan enable the pieces to be worn within the winter and spring, as well as the current summer season. 

The fabric is lightweight, enabling the hang to be easily elegant, as rarely knitted items provide such a feeling of fluid movability. 

Sophie Buhai jewellery

 The jewellery created by Sophie Buhai has a feeling of an architectural form to it, the use of bold metal/silver form the link of the materials used within structures. The idea of interior and architecture is imminently visible within the imagery used on her website. The pieces are paired with interior design items that are styled to aesthetic perfection. 

The images are an exact portrayal of my minds ideal; beautiful design, creation and aesthetics.

The mini egg pendant is my main focus, just the right size of small, but the right amount of noticeable. I would wear it as both a necklace and bracelet by wrapping the chain multiple times around my wrist.
