See My Wardrobe…Sarah reveals her wardrobe favourites
Monday, November 21st, 2011NAME: Sarah Goodwin
AGE : 23
LOCATION: London
OCCUPATION: Social Media Executive for Miss Patina independent fashion label
WEBSITE: www.seemywardrobe.com
TWITTER: @miss_patina
Q – Hello how are you today?
A – Great! I have just returned from a trip to Paris. It was really inspirational – the Parisians certainly have a distinct and sophisticated style. I love that they are so understated and all about good quality clothing. I spent many hours people-watching and drinking chocolat viennois (hot chocolate with whipped cream – yum).
Stolen Thunder…
Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s current collection?
A – I am torn between two – the gold rose ring and the typewriter necklace. Both are very antique inspired and ornate. Being a journalist, the typewriter appeals to my personality and the ring appeals to the more romantic side of me.
Q- What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)
A –I would wear an off the shoulder fitted grey top with black leather pants and ankle boots – simple and edgy. And then style it up with some layered jewellery such as the wishbone necklace and the horseshoe necklace together and on my fingers wear the wishbone ring and the snake ring. Very rock chick indeed.
Q – What do you most enjoy about being a fashion blogger?
A –I love that I am solely representing my opinion and my view of the world – whether I am inspired by film, music, travel or street style. I choose the content and there is no pressure. Writing is a very enjoyable experience for me so people reading and liking the blog is just an added bonus!
Style and Fashion…
Q – What is the best piece of fashion advice you have received?
A – Dress for your shape. I think that is the most basic but important advice – you can’t beat yourself up if a certain trend or look doesn’t suit you. Fashion is so versatile and there are so many looks – find what works for you.
Q- Who is your style icon and why?
A – Olivia Palermo because she has that Upper East Side NYC polished look yet she gives it an edge with unusual accessories and colour combinations. Also she is not afraid of bright colours and patterns which so many people can be.
Q – What key pieces do you think every girl needs in her wardrobe?
A – A great fitted blazer, a leather jacket, skinny jeans, leather trousers, a black dress, oversized shirt, black ankle boots and a big clutch bag. Now you can mix and match all these depending on the occasion!
Q-If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A – I really love city lifestyle – fast paced and bustling. It inspires me every day – big cities make you feel independent and confident. I moved to London from Ireland so it is a dream for me to live here. After this, New York perhaps!
Q – What piece of clothing/jewellery could you not live without?
A – I love to buy big statement necklaces and at the moment I have one from Topshop that is really cool – silver, gold and ivory detail. It can really funk up a simple jumper or top and makes an outfit more memorable. For now, this is my “cannot live without” piece but it constantly changes.
Q – If you could be any animal for the day what would you choose to be and why?
A – I would choose to be a white tiger because they are so beautiful and regal. Also because the female tiger plays a very important role in her group guarding the territory and minding the cubs. She is seen as strong and intelligent by the male tigers and thus is very powerful.
Q – If you’ve had a bad day :-( what song will make you smile :-) again?
A – Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. It’s also on the soundtrack to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which is one of my favourite films.
My Day…
Q – Send us a picture from your day
A – I just got back from Paris so here is a photo I took this morning of a patisserie (cake shop). I love how the French have shops for everything – no generic shops with a bit of everything like in the UK – all their shops are very specialist.
Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?
A – Where does thunder go once it’s been stolen?
A – We turbo charge it and send it back! x

Our Label Love this week is Not For Ponies!
Friday, November 18th, 2011
Hi everyone!
Whilst looking around at our next door neighbours on ASOS Marketplace I couldn’t help but notice Not For Ponies. They are quite possibly one of the brightest and quirkiest UK indie fashion brands and are run by designer Beckie Andrews who draws, designs and makes the collection in Manchester.
Beckie’s aim of the brand is for it to be ‘happy and uplifting at a time that seems to be full of doom and gloom’. With Not For Ponies latest Autumn Winter collection featuring pugs, pipes and moustaches, I think she can say she has accomplished her mission!
In honour of our pug team member Punch, we are big fans of the little angel pug T Shirt! I also love the men’s King pug with his pipe T Shirt (very Punch)! Their range doesn’t just include clothing but also gifts, greeting cards and children’s clothing so worth a look whilst trying to find those quirky Christmas presents!
That is your Label Love for this week, see you next Friday!

This weeks Label Love is… Rapanui!
Monday, November 14th, 2011
Hi everyone,
Here at Stolen Thunder we are big supporters of indie labels, being one ourselves we love to find brands who are in the same boat as us. This week I came across Rapanui who could potentially a revolutionary label for the fashion industry.
Rapanui were formed in 2008 by Rob and Martin Drake-Knight who have created a casual wear brand which is not only on trend but all of their products are from sustainable materials. Rapanui use ethically accredited factories that are powered by wind and solar energy and with radical eco-textiles they have created guilt free fashion! Every Rapanui item can be traced from the sewn seed to its final shop destination by using their trace mapping tool on their website.
Rapanui have also developed an eco-labelling system which is an ingenious concept. Similar to the content labeling you find on food, you are are able to see just how sustainable the clothing is your buying by looking at their A-G rating label. More information on this initiative can be found here http://www.rapanuiclothing.com/ethical-fashion/eco-labelling-clothing.html.
My favourite piece from the Rapanui collection is the ‘Save Our Seas’ t shirt which is made from super soft Bamboo and 50% of profits from its sales go to the Marine Conservation Society! This t shirt would look great with our Nautical Sailboat and Anchor earrings and also with our Anchor Brooch for full on nautical chic!!
So this weekend think of your clothing like your diet, by buying a piece of Rapanui goodness and cut out buying the junk fast fashion!
See you next week,
Laura

A Fearne Cotton inspired outfit featuring our Gold Wishbone Ring
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011
Fearne Cotton’s Gold Wishbone Ring . .
Hi everyone!
To celebrate the lovely Fearne Cotton being spotted wearing our gorgeous Gold Wishbone ring, I have created a Fearne inspired outfit using a selection of our favourite UK brands. Our Wishbone ring can be worn with any outfit making it a must have accessory. Fearne clearly loves her new Gold Wishbone ring as she has been wearing it for her daytime and evening looks as seen at the recent Michael Jackson Tribute Concert.
Bag a slice of Fearne Cotton’s style . .
Fearne likes her “boyfriend look” and Annie Greenabelle offer a perfect white oversize circle sleeve shirt in their AW11 collection. This shirt would look great with a pair of super skinny Monkee Genes and a pair of leopard print Una Shoes by Dr Marten. The key jacket this season is a wax jacket and there is no better brand than Barbour to get yours from. To complete the look, add a distressed red leather Zatchel satchel for your essentials and an Alphabet Bags tote for your daily junk!
If you have spotted a celeb wearing one of our jewellery pieces please let us know!

Laura Budd talks Jelly Beans, Gin and A Daisy Chain Dream…
Monday, November 7th, 2011NAME: Laura
AGE : 24
LOCATION: Just outside of Bristol
WEBSITE: http://www.adaisychaindream.blogspot.com
TWITTER: @daisychaindream
Q – Hello how are you today?
A – Hello right back! I’m pretty fabulous, thank you.
STOLEN THUNDER JEWELLERY AND COCKTAILS…
Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s current collection?
A – It has to be (and always has been) the “I heart gin” necklace. It’s just so true.
Q - What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)
A – I’d style a cocktail dress and a pair of glittery heels with the “I heart gin” necklace. Accessorised with a gin + tonic, naturally
Q- What is your favourite cocktail, and how many can your drink!?
A – I’m not a cocktail drinker as such, however I am rather fond of one called Pink Lemonade, which is vodka,Chambord, cherry juice, lemon juice and fresh raspberries, served over tonnes of crushed ice. I can drink far, far too many of them. It’s just too easy.
Q- Where is your favourite boutique, and what is it called?
A – My favourite boutique is probably not a boutique as such, but it’s called BS8 and located onPark Street in Bristol.
Q- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A –Austria. A random choice perhaps, but I visited once in the summertime and it was just so beautiful. I fancy myself in a chalet style home in the hills with no-one but my distant neighbours to hear me yodel.
STYLE ICONS AND WARDROBE ESSENTIALS…
Q- Who is your style icon?
A – Fellow bloggers. There are just too many snazzy dressers to mention.
Q - What are your wardrobe essentials?
A – Dresses, specifically floral dresses. They are so versatile, either with bright tights and fun shoes for weekends and shopping, or plain tights and flats for work. Well cut jeans are also essential (although I fail on finding that perfect pair), some good quality plain t-shirts and a pair of converse.
Q – How many pairs of shoes do you own?
A – Ahem, on last check it was about 50
Q – What are your favourite sweets?
A – I love all sweets equally, I am totally sugar addicted. I guess, if pushed, I would pick jelly beans.
Q – If you’ve had a bad day :-( what song will make you smile :-) again?
A – Queen; don’t stop me now. It’s a cheery old kick up the ass.
MY DAY…
Q – Send us a picture from your day
A – I’m sending a picture of my ace new shoes, they are pleasing me greatly.
Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?
A – Oh so many questions. I’ll go with where does inspiration for your designs come from?
A - Our current collection is based on England rich heritage of jewellery making.
