etsy shop feature of the week dalystudios




Hey everyone today’s feature is on a handmade jewelry shop called dalystudios created by Christine Daly. The reason I love this shop so much is because of the natural, environmental and unique look of all the jewelry pieces. Christine creates her jewelry pieces from a combination of stones, beads, leather, shells, bone and wire. This unique arrangement of materials gives the pieces an exceptionally remarkable designs.  

“I have been making things, drawing things, growing things and designing things all my life. When I see something beautiful, I simply erupt with the need to describe it in some way. It's not a conscious decision. It just happens. Painting and drawing have always been my primary modes of expression (and livelihood) but recently I began making jewelry.” Quote Christine Daly

new look refuel fashion week 13th september 2013



















The new look fashion week refuel was on the the 13th september in the Waldorf Hilton Hotel 
in Aldwych London. it was hectic day and the weather was crazy. But i got to chill out, eat nibbles and drink champagne in the room most of the day with beauty/ fashion bloggers and youtubers. When i first arrived i was blown away by how beautiful the building was exterior and interior. At the new look Refuel room they were giving the bloggers and youtubers free hand massages, make up artists so you could get your make up touched up also eyelash extensions and manicures for all guests of the event. I got a relaxing hand massage you don't realise how much tension you have in your arms until you have a massage. Soon after I had my make up done by the make up artist a smokey eye. Towards the end of the day i had met many nice people. Then i was lucky enough to get a pass the London fashion week show so i went to see a very minimalistic chic catwalk show for upcoming designers.
