    If there’s one thing I can’t resist it’s a charity and fashion industry collaboration. This year Children In Need are giving their cuddly mascot Pudsey a swish makeover. They’ve asked some of the best designers from around the world to give Pudsey a brand new look, ready to be auctioned off on the 15th November with all the proceeds going to charity. The designers involved range from the iconic names of Versace and Gucci to the pure British of McQueen and Burberry. There’s even a set of five pretty patterned Balenciaga bears.
    The bears will only be on display in the London and Manchester Selfridges stores until tomorrow [14th November] but you can view the full gallery here on the Vogue website. The bears themselves are one of a kind but the store will be selling a limited edition bear, again with proceeds going to charity.
    Keep on wishing…

    Another ‘Recommended’ post! This time from Prairie Charms.
    I loves me a charm bracelet. I have a whole jewellery box full of bracelets and beaded knick knacks in my bedroom. Prairie Charms are a small independent store that sell charming beaded bracelets, friendship wraps and most recently brooches and pins. Each piece is quirky, beautifully made and the best part about them is that they donate 10% of proceeds go to Great Ormond Street Hospital’s ‘Kiss It Better’ campaign. 
    So pretty bracelets AND giving a hand to charity. Brilliant, right? 
    As part of Project Blogger, I picked out their ‘Life is better when you’re laughing’ bracelet*. I was really drawn to the little gold leaf charms circling the bracelet and the fact that it’s neutral colour will go with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. And another plus? It fits so well with my standard set of everyday bracelets too!
