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 – Hello how are you today?

Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s Heritage collection?

Q- What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)

A - Black dress, tights, high black shoes and my big black floppy felt hat I recently got. Then I’d layer on charm necklaces playing with chain lengths for a nice effect. Some of the rings in the collection are amazing, but I’m not really a ring person so I’d thread them onto some of the chains too. I’d also experiment with wrapping chains from the charm necklaces round my wrists and bracelets.

Q- Can you describe your blog using 4 words beginning with the letters B.L.O.G?

B: Basic. I thought long and hard about my layout, and played around with so many fun and interesting designs but in the end I decided to go for something simple and basic so I could let the content to the talking!

L: London. As my blog is a lot about my life, even before I moved here when I was just visiting I noticed how the city is gradually seeping into my blog!

O: Original. I’m big on original content, so almost all of the photos and words I use are my own!

G: Growing. I’m always coming up with new and exciting ideas to expand my blog, which I can’t wait to share with everyone!

Q- What do you enjoy most about blogging?

A - The sense of community. I have met so many amazing people blogging and made some amazing friends!

AGE: 23

LOCATION: Viseu, Portugal

OCCUPATION: Dentistry Student

WEBSITE:    http://eveasaurus.blogspot.com

TWITTER: www.twitter.com/InesHunt

Q – Hello how are you today?

A – I’m great, thank you! I’ve just spent a couple of days away with my boyfriend before uni starts again, so I feel dandy!

 

Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s current collection?

A – My heart’s divided between the “I love Gin” and the “I love Tea” rings and necklaces! But what I like the most is that you can customise your own jewellery, that’s pretty amazing.

 

Q- What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery?

A – I’d definitely wear something girly, with a retro twist.

 

Q- Can you describe your blog using 4 words beginning with the letters B.L.O.G?

A – My bog is a Blue-eyed, Looney, Owl-loving Geek’s blog!

Q- What do you enjoy most about blogging?

A – I love meeting new people. The only interest I share with my “real life” friends is teeth, so it’s great to meet people whom I can relate to.

Q- Who is your favourite fashion designer, and why?

A – I’m really into independent designers. I find their pieces to have a little something extra to them. Let’s call it a “soul”.  I also like the work of the lovely people at Mulberry and Luella.

Q- If you could be a dinosaur for the day which one would you choose to be?

A – I LOVE THIS QUESTION! (even though it’s really hard because all dinosaurs are amazing) I guess I would go with a brontosaurus. They’re so big and peaceful. T-Rex would be a good second choice, since I’m always posing as one when people take pictures of me.

Q – What piece of clothing/jewellery could you not live without?

A – I wear my granddad’s pocket watch as a pendant and I love it to bits, but my collection of brogues and I are inseparable.

 

Q – What is your favourite thing about living in Portugal and why?

A – I love how rich our culture is: the food, the people, our history, etc. Also, I love how diverse the country is: we have mountains and beach, freezing cold and boiling hot, forests and fields… My parents and I love to travel around the country, because there’s always some place different and interesting to visit.

 

Q – Where is your favourite place to shop on the high street?

A – I’m going with Topshop, they always have amazing pieces: clothes, jewellery, shoes… everything! I usually really like the designs from their collections, but I also like the brands they sell, such as Love and Rare.

Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?

A – What was the first piece made by Stolen Thunder?

Our now famous Bird cage necklace

Fashion Blogger Mia Holt reveals her Fashion.Life!

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

NAME: Mia Holt

AGE: 20 years young

LOCATION: Cardiff

OCCUPATION: Journalism Student and Fashion Blogger

WEBSITE: http://fashionbymimi.blogspot.com/

TWITTER: @miaholt

 

Q – Hello how are you today?

A – Hello lovely, I am very good today thanks. Incredibly busy but very happy.

 

Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s current collection?

A – Can I say everything? Haha. Well as a journalist and a blogger, I was inspired by the Typewriter necklace in the Heritage collection. It’s beautiful and would suit my personality so much. It’s so dainty and my love for small and sweet jewellery meant I was instantly drawn to this piece.

Q – How would you describe your blog in 3 words?

A – Wow. Hard. Urm, I would say fun, insightful and relaxed.

Q – What do you most enjoy about blogging?

A – To me, blogging is the perfect way to express your love of something with others. I have always know that I wanted to be a writer, so I started my blog as a way of showing people the type of things that I have written about in the past. I only started it in July this year but I’ve received so much feedback and had the opportunity to interview some amazing people like E4s Dirty Sexy Thing’s model Charlotte de Carle and the designer House of Sunny. I love reading comments from people who are interested in the industry and so I’d probably say that I love the response that I get from doing something I love.

Q- What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)

A – I think Stolen Thunder jewellery would add a quirky style to any outfit. When I saw the Kite necklace from the original collection, I fell in love with it! It would look so beautiful with a sweet little shift dress and some Chelsea boots. I love mixing feminine chic with a masculine edge so teaming the cute necklace with a dress and some boots would be gorgeous!

Q – If you could choose anyone, past or present to blog, who would it be?

A – It would have to be Audrey Hepburn. She has been my style icon since I was a little girl and I think she was just the most amazing person. Her life and her way of thinking was so delightful. She was such an inspirational person and I try and pride myself on sharing her manners and beliefs.

 

Q- Who is your style icon?

A – I have many, but my favourite would have to be Whitney Port. She always looks amazing and I would die for her wardrobe!

Q – What piece of clothing/jewellery could you not live without?

A – My pearls. I am an avid pearl lover. My mother always says that pearls are a parting gift but my boyfriend bought me some for our first Christmas and we are still together. They are so elegant and instantly add some femininity to any outfit.

Q – What is the best piece of fashion advice you have received?

A – Probably to be unique. It may sound like a cliché but it’s the best advice I’ve ever been give. I think it’s important to find your own personal style. Sometimes, you will make mistakes and look back at an outfit and think “oh my gosh, what on earth” but it means you learn what suits you and your body. If you experiment and try different styles, then eventually, you will learn what suits your shape and your personality.

Q – If you’ve had a bad day what song will make you smile  again?

A – My best friend is the most amazing person you’ll ever meet. Her name is Jodie and she always manages to cheer me up. When I was having a down day one day, she sent me this song- Baz Lahrmann- Everybody’s free to wear sunscreen. It’s so inspiration and always makes me happy!

Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?

A – I would love to know where you guys get your inspiration from to make such gorgeous pieces?

A – ST > From our wonderful home in Derbyshire!

Love Mia xxx

Q – Hello how are you today?

A – I’m really good, I bought some new shoes. They were £5 from a charity shop, therefore I am very happy.

Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s handmade jewellery current collection?

I’d also like to mention that the jewellery smells really nice, kinda like the 3D workshop at my college!

Q – What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)

A – Well, I would probably wear the extremely worn brown vintage leather shoes I bought today, with a floral or brown/ green skirt, maybe even in velvet, thick cotton tights and either a vintage jumper or blouse and the braided leather bracelet with tassels.

Infact, I decided to make something on polyvore to show it a bit better…

Q – Where is your favourite boutique, and what is it called?

A – I’m not sure if Urban Outfitters is considered a boutique.. I don’t really shop at any boutiques, mostly just charity shops.. I should really start shopping at more places haha!

Q – If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

A – Maybe London, because of all the people there and the places.. and everything moves really fast and you have to keep up with it. It would probably give me some motivation.

Q – Who is your style icon?

A – I don’t really have a style icon… I don’t really find celebrities very inspiring clothes-wise. I guess I get inspiration from other fashion bloggers and people that walk past me when I’m out and about, so anyone really, if they happen to be wearing something I like I always remember it.

Q – What are your wardrobe essentials?

A – Tights, you can never have too many pairs of tights… and a black blazer, because they go with everything.

Q – How many pairs of shoes do you own?

A – Haha I’m not sure, probably around 30, I think, I just tried to count them all in my head because there all in different places in the house.

Q – If you’ve had a bad day what song will make you smile again?

A – All kinds of time – Fountains of Wayne.. I think they use the instrumental bit at the end of Devil Wears Prada :D Actually, I’ve changed my mind… I think Mexican Wine by Fountains of Wayne would be better!

Q – Send us a picture from your day – this can be the view from your window, your pet, your lunch! Please label photo “MY DAY” and send with this piece. Please give us a description below!

These are my fab new charity shop shoes! Bought today!

Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?

A – How long does it take to make one of your necklaces?

Hmmm! Well we hand sketch different ideas and tweak and change them until we feel they are just right, then we cut them from wood or whatever we are using and hand assemble them – so they making bit doesn’t take too long but the bit before where we have the seed of an idea to grow can take months!
