My Favourite Small Businesses  This Small Business Saturday I wanted to focus on some of the wonderful independents I stock at Alice's Wonders.    I adore being able to support other small businesses - and I know you appreciate it too.  They're great for gifting too, as it's always lovely to have a story behind a present.  I carry a wide range of small and independent brands, but today for Small Business Saturday let's focus on Sixton London, Turtle Doves Cashmere and MisGraceful Jewellery.   MisGraceful Jewellery Based in her Shropshire studio, Lorna at MisGraceful designs gorgeous wearable jewellery in classic,...

I've had some interesting conversations over the last couple of days and it's made me think I should share my promises to you for this Black Friday weekend (as I have heard of some rather sneaky tactics from the bigger brands!)    1.

Unfortunately, exposure to water, sweat, and humidity can dull the shine and degrade materials over time. This is where the water-resistant jewellery collection works so well, offering a stylish solution you can swim in, shower in and just not worry about! Water-resistant jewellery is designed to withstand exposure to moisture, making it ideal for those who lead active lifestyles or travel often to warmer countries.

...without feeling too 'try-hard'! You've probably noticed leopard print is everywhere this autumn  (although I'm not sure it ever went away!). Want to embrace the trend, but don't want to go all in?  I've got the perfect addition for you to look bang on-trend without sacrificing your style.  And what's even better - it costs just £18!   Easily add the print of the season with one simple update; a stylish leopard print scarf.  Opt for classic tones like the beige and stone version worn here by InStyle Helen... ...or go for something a bit different with more colourful versions of the...
