More Burts Bees

So, I think we established in my last post about them that I love Burts Bees! My lips have never been in better condition, which is quite something given the variety of products I have tried.

I also gathered from that post that a lot of YOU are fans too, which is why I'm sharing this with you.

Burt's Bees and Alex Monroe have collaborated to raise funds for the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) and produced this gorgeous Honey Bee Necklace. The necklace will be available online at alexmonroe.com from 1st March and is priced at £165, £30 of which will be donated from each sale to the BBKA.

I think Bees are fascinating little creatures and this is a very worthy cause supporting Bee Keepers in the ever more complicated industry.
Bees are a vital part of our food chain (a third of our food wouldn't be available without them!) and lets not forget honey...and Burts Bees!

What do you think?

Will you be showing your support with this gorgeous necklace? It's headed straight on to my wish list.

Burlesque

Miss Selfridge have collaborated with Sony Pictures to create a capsule collection of nine t-shirt designs celebrating the release of the most hotly anticipated film of the year “Burlesque”.
The film starring Cher and Christina Aguilera has inspired the collection which features a navy pearl effect vest, a white corset style tee with diamante detailing and burlesque dancer print tees in red, white and black featuring the drawings of Andrea Selby who sketched all the action from the film set. Miss Selfridge will also show you how to recreate the look from the film with their ‘get the look’ range in store featuring a stunning black beaded cape, a one shoulder feather detail black body con dress, plush velvet leggings and a fabulous pair of diamante detail shoe boots – perfect for making a statement during the Christmas
party season.

(from the Press Release)

Miss Selfridge were kind enough to share some photos of the range with me, which in turn I am sharing with you! I'm head of heels for these pieces, utterly beautiful and very unique!





I'm not usually a t-shirt girl at all, always attracted to dresses over anything else, but the t-shirts in this range are something else altogether! Don't get me started on the divine dress though...I'm drooling.

All of the designs will be available online AND in-store from the 9th December and prices start from £22.

Burlesque comes to cinemas on the 17th of December, making it perfect for a Christmas night out. I'm not a film girl (noticing a patten here?) and usually resent paying high cinema prices for something I will fidget all the way though (it doesn't matter how good the film is, I fidget!) but I'm thinking of taking my Mum to see this one as an additional Birthday treat.

Burlesque is the story of Ali (Christina Aguilera) who is a small-town girl with a big voice who follows her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club’s proprietor and headliner. Burlesque’s outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.

What do you think? Will you be going to see this? And what has caught your eye from the collection so far? I'd love to see or hear about any purchases!

I'll be showcasing the gorgeous tee I was sent by the lovely Rachel as soon as the weather warms up enough to wear it without getting frostbite!
