My Pretties …

Good Afternoon you gorgeous people!

Whilst sitting in the sunshine watching my Swarovski bracelets glistening in the sun I thought that I would take the opportunity to tell you about the new designs that I have added to my website!

The first collection is the beautiful antique inspired Rosebud collection.

I have used hand painted lampwork beads in white and antique rose, combined with Swarovski crystals, Sterling Silver and Rose Quartz to make some truly stunning designs.

The next collection is the ‘Wings’ collection, incorporating some beautiful butterfly, bird and feather designs.

I love butterflies so this collection may have been a bit more about my addiction to pretty flutterbyes and sparkles!

Finally I have added the Leather collection.

Leather bracelets in various colours adorned with stunning Swarovski elements, Sterling Silver, Freshwater Pearls and sparkles!

I do hope that you like the new collections.

Don’t forget that I also offer a bespoke service, if you would like to have a jewellery item designed then drop me an email at arcobalenojewellerydesign@hotmail.co.uk

All of this jewellery can be found at www.arcobalenojewellerydesign.co.uk

Much Love

I wanted to share with you the official poster to the film that I am in!

Don’t get excited, I’m only an extra, but it’s still very exciting to know that I might be on film!!

Make sure you all go see it when it’s released in the summer.

11 Things About Me

1. I cannot resist a television programme that ends in a vote. I love the ruthless nature of these kind of shows and always become a little bit obsessed with them!

2. My last proper relationship ended in 2005, I have been single since then. 99.9% of the time I love being single and have a very active life. There are only 2 days a year that I hate being single, New Years Day and my Birthday. Strange, but true.

3. I own over 100 pairs of shoes. I love them and can always find a reason to justify buying another pair. Shoes make me happy.

4. I have an obsessive personality. If I decide that I want to do something then I hurl myself into it 100% and it can have a tendency to take over my life. This could be a good thing, sadly, it never seems to be anything particularly productive that I become obsessed with!

5. Ricky Gervais makes me irrationally angry. I cannot stand him.

6. I have a frustrated creative mind. I work in a dull office job because it’s necessary to earn money to pay rent etc but I feel it stifles me creativity. I long to be able to earn a living from my jewellery or scarf designs.

7. When I was a child I wanted to be an equine vet. This dream died when I saw a vet put down a horse with a bullet at the livery yard.

8. I only like crunchy peanut butter, smooth peanut butter tastes horrid.

9. I love hairy men, the hairier the better. My housemate nicknamed one guy I was seeing ‘Sasquatch’ because he was big and hairy. I don’t even mind hairy backs!

10. I am a complete makeup snob.

11. I get irrationally angry when I see fat women wearing shapeless and unflattering clothes. There is no longer a need for it, fashion has improved for us fatties so much in the past few years, get with the programme!
