    Pandora releases their Cinderella 70th Anniversary Capsule Collection | Disney x Pandora

    I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this time, while enjoying the Autumn season! Today, an enchanting new capsule collection released from Pandora:

    As Disney Cinderella celebrates her 70th birthday this year, Pandora and Disney partnered to create a new, sparkling ten-piece capsule collection inspired by the iconic princess.

    – Pandora

    I am excited to share this capsule collection with you, as well as celebrate Disney Cinderella’s 70th Anniversary! So, make sure to grab a delicious cup of tea and let’s begin!

    * Disney x Pandora Cinderella Capsule Collection Photos are provided by Pandora *

    The Capsule Collection:

    Pandora’s design team worked with a Disney Princess Specialist to ensure every piece of jewellery perfectly reflects the beloved fairytale. Each hand-finished pieces are inspired by Disney Cinderella’s journey and feature beloved characters and themes from the film.

    Tapping into beloved characters and themes from the film, the designers carefully created pieces inspired by Disney Cinderella’s enchanting journey.

    It is very hard for me to pick a favourite from this collection. As many of you know, I am a huge Disney Cinderella lover. In fact, my miniature poodle name (Ella) was inspired by Cinderella herself!

    I have two Cinderella themed Pandora Bracelets already and I think it is safe to say that I will be starting a third! I love every single one of these charms! I also love the new earrings, necklace and ring. They have such intricate and whimsical details.

    The Bracelet:

    I love that Pandora made the Pumpkin Coach into a clasp! I am currently debating if I should change my Ella themed bracelet from my Disney Parks Pandora Moments Bracelet for this one! It is so beautiful.

    The Charms:

    This dangle reminds me of my guinea pigs and Ella. I am currently debating whether it should go on my Ella themed Pandora Bracelet or add it to a new bracelet design. I will keep you guys posted!

    I love openwork charms and this one has the clock tower on the back!

    It is so lovely to see little Suzy and a sewing themed charm from Pandora. I have wanted a sewing charm for YEARS! As many of you know, my background is in Fashion Design and I have always been sad that Pandora never released a sewing charm into their Hobby charms. It is finally here and it could not be more adorable or magical! I love this scene from the movie.

    The scene where the Fairy-Godmother transforms Cinderella’s torn dress into an enchanting ballgown is iconic and a beloved magical moment! I love how Pandora added blue cubic zirconia’s to represent the Fairy-Godmother’s magic!

    If I had to pick a favourite Disney character, it would have to be Gus (Gus Gus). He is so funny and sweet. I love how Pandora added his hat with green enamel detailing. He also has the cutest little expression on his face!

    Pandora updated the two-tone 14 ct. gold version of the Carriage charm into an enchanting Pandora Rose version! It looks so feminine and romantic. It will pair beautifully with the Disney Parks Cinderella Coach Charm.

    The Earrings, Necklace and Ring:

    And that concludes this blog post! I would like to thank Pandora for sharing these photos with me! I am so excited to shop this collection! I currently have a few pieces on hold at my local Pandora store. Will you be purchasing anything from this enchanting collection? Please let me know, down below!

    Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a wonderful day.

    The Story & Inspiration Behind my Bead Design with OHM Beads | Don’t Give Up

    Happy Monday! I hope this blog posts finds you and your loved ones safe, healthy and doing well.

    This past Saturday, I premiered a special video on Youtube. It is part two of my “Exciting Announcement” video. If you remember from my previous blog post, I shared that I will be OHM Beads June 2020 OHMistry Project. This means I got to design my own bead with OHM Beads! It is such a surreal, crazy dream come true.

    In my new video, I share a detailed look at my bead, as well as the story and inspirations behind it. This is probably my most personal (and slightly vulnerable) video yet. You can watch it HERE or down below:

    Thank you to this incredible community and to OHM Beads for making this dream come true. Biggest virtual hugs!

    OHM Don’t Give Up

    My OHMistry Project bead is called, DON’T GIVE UP. It is a silver oxidized bead and will be releasing on June 19th, 2020 at 10:00 AM Pacific time zone.
    The limited-edition release of DON’T GIVE UP is part of Project OHMistry and is limited to 111 signed and serialized pieces. A certificate of authenticity is included inside a limited edition box (I actually got to illustrate the box art myself).

    As mentioned in my video, this bead reflects a journey. It is a mountain that has a dark side and a light side to it. Here is the story behind the bead:

    DON’T GIVE UP, you tell yourself. You feel it in your heart and soul. You are meant to succeed.

    It starts with those first few steps. But with all journeys, it is a struggle of faith and self-assurance. Fear finds its way to creep in. It twists your path, voices harsh judgment, creates doubt and pain. It tries to seize the victory that awaits you.

    At your darkest moment, when all feels lost, this bead reminds you to keep going. Push upwards, onwards! Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.

    Having faith will guide your journey, through the darkness. The clouds will open, the path will brighten and the further you go, the clearer your path becomes. You will find unexpected help. You will experience achievements, big and small. Before you know it, you will arrive at the end and the start of a new beginning.

    You will be victorious. Every fear, doubt, and painful memory will be conquered.

    What is your “Don’t Give Up” journey?

    Leading up to June 19th, I will continue to share the journey of designing this bead with OHM Beads! Stay tuned for official OHM Beads photos, the process of seeing my bead come to life (from wax to silver) and how I’ve been styling my bead.

    Side note: Can you spot my artist signature, on this bead? I love that OHM Beads added this detail to the bead. You can also find it on the box art:

    Anyway, that is it for today’s blog post! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and talk to you soon! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH AGAIN! xo

    Reliving my Childhood Wonder through the Disney x Pandora | Aladdin Charms

    If you rubbed the Magic Lamp, what would your three wishes be?

    When I was a little girl, I was captivated by the animated film, @disneyaladdin ✨ I owned all three films, I wore my princess Jasmine pjs to bed, (every single night) and I would pretend to be Genie, Aladdin or Jasmine in the fun “make believe” games with my brothers. For a while, when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I told them: Princess Jasmine and an artist. ??

    These animated characters were so special to me and it was a story that truly let me imagination take flight…and often made me wonder if my blanket could fly like a magic carpet (I may or may not have made a few attempts with my brothers).

    Last September, I even had the privilege of meeting, Aladdin at Disneyland. It was like meeting an old, childhood friend:

    Talking to Aladdin nearby Sleeping Beauty’s Castle
    Meeting a childhood friend <3

    I even got to meet, Jafar!

    Jafar was so flattered to hear he was my favourite villain.

    My husband and I went to see the live action version of @disneyaladdin on opening night. What an incredible time…it was reliving my childhood wonder and excitement of the story! I enjoyed the changes and additional story lines they added, especially to Jasmine’s character. I love that she didn’t need to be rescued and the ending was just amazing!!! I’ll try not to spoil anything, incase you haven’t seen it yet ? But it is a vibrant, fun movie that will not disappoint and you will leave with a smile on your face.

    Opening Night of Disney’s Aladdin. I wore my Hot Topic Aladdin t-shirt and Magic Carpet Ride pin.

    When @theofficialpandora came out with three special charms for the live action film, I knew I had to get one of each! I designed two themed bracelets incorporating these new charms as well as the Jasmine Murano and the Jasmine Dress (both are now retired). These bracelets transport me back to that childhood excitement after seeing the movie for the first time. Childhood Emily would have loved these bracelets and would never take them off, haha. That’s the beauty in #disneyxpandora collection, even as an adult…I can have that smile and touch of magic to my outfit… In an understated way. I love that!!!

    You can see my two designs and the charms below as well as more information about the designs and charms in the captions:

    I created a blue themed bracelet inspired by the Magic Carpet Ride charm from Pandora. I added the Patterns of Frost charms as it made me think of the blurry, starlit sky. I also added the firworks charm and put the charms on the fireworks Pandora bangle, to represent the beautiful fireworks in both the animated and live action versions of Aladdin.
    Here is a closer look at my Magic Carpet themed bangle.
    And an even closer look at the charm. I love the glittering sky!
    The back reads: you fill my world with wonder.
    My next bracelet design was put onto the exclusive Pandora Jasmine Bangle (the clasp is so detailed)!
    I included the Jasmine Muranos and Jasmine Dress Dangle…I love the pop of colour next to the Pandora Shine dangles.
    Agrabah Pandora Shine Dangle and the Magic Lamp Pandora Shine Dangle both have a CZ detail on the bale. The lamp’s lid also opens and reveals a shimmering hint of blue…could that be the Genie?
    Could that be the Genie inside the Magic Lamp? I love these clever details that Pandora includes.

    Never Loose Your Sense of Wonder ✨ Jasmine Pandora Bangle

    I love the Pandora Shine for the Lamp and Castle, although it would have also been sooo cool to see Pandora also offer two tone 14k gold versions of these charms, as well. A lot of collectors are not interested in purchasing from the Pandora Shine range, as it is a gold plated collection. Often, gold plating does not hold up well…and with the price point of Shine, many collectors feel it is not worth it.

    I inquired to a few Pandora associates, at different locations, their thoughts on Pandora Shine and how long it will last. I did not get a set amount of time, but I heard the same thing from each associate and even a manager: the Shine plating is strong and more durable than Pandora Rose. I thought this was quite interesting. Since I have recently invested in a few Shine pieces (besides the bee petite and two Shine muranos my husband got me last spring)…I will keep you posted on if this is true…and how long the plating truly lasts, with proper care!

    Fashion Diaries | Disneyland Series

    It’s been a bit of a delay since my last blog post! So much has happened the past two months, but the most exciting was my husband and I’s trip to Disneyland! It was the absolute best. Since I wasn’t able to go on rides (health reasons), I took a TON of video footage of all our adventures and I decided it would be fun to start a series called, Fashion Diaries. Basically, it’ll be a look into what I did and what I wore during special events, vacations, day in the life, etc.

    So far, I have three videos published in my Fashion Diaries series, Disneyland Edition! I will leave them linked below. I hope to finish up days 4,5,6 either in 1-2 more videos. I ended up loosing the video footage from day 4 (so sad), so it should be easy to put days 4 and 5 together. Possibly, even day 6…depending on how long the footage is!

    These videos are so much fun to edit, although they do take quite a bit of time! I have over an hours worth of footage for each day. It is amazing editing the footage because it truly transports me right back into Disneyland…I can relive all the magical moments!

    Have you ever been to Disneyland? Or a special place you love to visit? I would love to know!

    Have a lovely evening,

    Emily xx
