Lokai Bracelet

Are Lokai Bracelets the new Alex and Ani?

A personal favourite of mine are the Alex and Ani bracelets made with eco-friendly materials in the hope to care for the planet and well being of animals while also giving back to charity. Each unique bracelet represents something different whether it being as simple as your birthstone to symbolizing healing. As they are both infused with positive energy and affordable along with very fashionable to stack they took the world by storm. However now there is something new!

Alex And Ani Bracelet - Humming Bird

Awakening • Healing • Eternity

Although at present I do not own a Lokai Bracelet they fascinate me.

Just like the Alex and Ani bracelet have a simple structure the Lokai bracelets are plain and clean cut too. They are simply a bracelet of beads however enclosed is something special. There is a heartwarming story behind the manufacture of these bracelets. Just like the Alex and Ani bracelets are infused with positive energy the Lokai bracelets have two special beads. In one of the beads holds mud from the dead sea, this represents the lowest point on earth and in life, the other bead holds water from Mount Everest, this represents the highest point on earth and life and the beads in the middles are life's winding pathway in life and are clear because everyone's life is different.

The Lokai bracelets represent the balance in life between the extremes of high and low.

Lokai bracelets are affordable at about $18 and 10% goes back to charity. Lokai bracelets can be bought online here : http://mylokai.com/

Virgos Lounge

Although Virgos Lounge is by no means a new brand taking us by storm it is definitely a winter favourite of mine. Virgos Lounge's distinctive sparkle and glittery detail can be spotted immediately of one of the many showstopping pieces that are ideal for this Christmas and wintertime in general.

I may be biased (as I wore a Virgos Lounge to one of my Debs, see photo below) but I think all Virgos Lounge dresses offer a unique twist. With the characteristic sparkle comes a new colour or shape of dress, one that is bound to suit all body shapes!

Virgos Lounge are very forgiving for the most part and I would advise getting your size and not going up a size, something I tend to do when investing in order to do alterations myself.

What is probably the deciding factor of many buys is the price and Virgos Lounge will not leaving you counting your penneys.... well too much anyways!
All dresses range from approximately €80 to €160. Now, if you are buying a dress for your Debs, a college ball or perhaps a family wedding where would you find such a distinctive dress for this price?

The best advice I could give anyone is to plan in advance, Buying anything last minute gives you no options and trust me, you will not find deals. If you know you have an occasion coming up search through the online sales regularly. Virgos Lounge are very good for sending emails when they have their latest sales that will save you so much money, One dress I fell in love with was £140 down to £36! Search "The Outlet" while navigating the website to find the latest offers.

The beauty of Virgos Lounge is that you can return any item you are not satisfied with,
