On a slightly drizzly Saturday afternoon I decided it would be a great idea to have a Mad-Hatter's Tea Party themed photoshoot (yes, I know I'm a bit of a late joiner to the Alice and Wonderland bandwagon!). I thought it would be the perfect setting to show off some more of the Accessorize A/W 2010 jewellery - this time, a slightly more whimisical set of pendants!
These ones are my personal favourites from the collection - I'm very tempted to buy myself the 'Pearly Specs' pendant (especially seeing as I'm a secret glasses wearer! shh!).
I think they look good layered together for a nice quirky, 'English eccentric' effect - and as you know, I'm a big fan of this look, especially when it comes to jewellery. Delicate faux-pearl sections and bows add interest to the long chains in true Accessorize style - definitely transforming the necklaces into something a bit more up-market than just simple pendants.
So what if I'm a fan of the 'builders brew'...
I've chosen to pair the necklaces with this beautiful polkadot dress, kindly given to me by my boyfriend's mum during a wardrobe clearout. It's definitely going to get a lot of wear! The Mad-Hatter top hat is homemade - I went to an Alice in Wonderland themed 18th earlier in the Summer and dabbled in a bit of millinery with my PrittStick and Cornflakes boxes.
And finally - what do you think of my teacups? I've been stocking up on vintage crockery for uni, and I found these pretty little things in a charity shop for £3. Incidentally, the 'tablecloth' is also set to be my new duvet cover (very Urban Outfitters-esque, but a complete steal at £4... charity shop ♥)!

P.S. I loved your styling suggestions for the last necklace - so, same question here: how would you style these pendants? :)

I love Bonne Maman jam! It somehow always seems homemade though truly commercial. Excellent tea cups, I did tea parties too over the summer and I wish I had time to have one again.

Totally cute! Love that tablecloth/duvet cover where is it from? I collect vintagey tea cups and saucers too, I have a whole shelf so sweet! x
I LOVE this post. Alice in Wonderland will never get old, neither I hope will tea parties ever die out. Your outfit is amazing.

This is perfect! I love these photos and your outfit!
I feel like adding those accessories any plain outfit (little black dress, jeans and a T, etc) will give it such a great boost!
Those pendants are adorable! Also i never would've guessed that the hat was made of cardboard haha, nice work :) you look lovely as always!

I love this post of yours, the photographs are so simple yet so lovely! The alice in wonderland theme never grows old.
The necklaces are certainly something I'd notice when browsing accessorize, I'm a big fan of the eccentric look!
If I was wearing them myself I'd maybe team them with dunagrees or something with braces, and a t-shirt, knee high socks and maybe brogues and a jacket of some sort, if I was feeling daring my bowler hat too!
Or
I'd wear them with a floaty collared blouse with a high waisted skirt, ankle lace socks and again brogues for a different take of the accessories.
I think I'm getting carried away..

I like the idea of styling the rabbit necklace with something really simple. I've got a few necklaces from LadyLuckRulesOK that are real statement pieces and I usually try to keep the outfit simple, so the necklace stands out.
I'd wear it with either a breton striped top, or a plain sheer white v-neck tee, a little over-sized maybe, tucked into a pair of skinny jeans, and some pumps or brogues.
What do you think?

Hey, we've been regular readers of the blog for a while and I'm loving the vintage feel of your recent photos.
The necklace medley is a perfect combo - the sunglasses are my favourite.
Best,
