Kay + Stemmer mid-century Rose dressing table

Rose_dressing

Admittedly, we did feature a Kay + Stemmer design over the weekend, but we were so impressed with the newly-discovered Rose dressing table, we felt obliged to feature it straight away.

Typically Kay + Stemmer, it oozes mid-century style despite being a modern design. In terms of specifics, the dressing table is made of walnut, packing two deep drawers with cutaway front, a hinged top revealing a mirror and additional lined storage and a build quality and style that should take some beating.

It doesn’t come cheap at £3,950, but this timeless design should give you great service for many years to come.

Biscuit Boutique – jewellery shaped like classic biscuits

Iced_gem

Whether you’re a fan of the bourbon, the custard cream or the pink wafer, there’s a piece of jewellery to match at the Biscuit Boutique.

Take your pick from biscuit-shaped bracelets, brooches, necklaces, rings or hairclips, although I’m personally taken by the cufflinks. particularly the Iced Gem cufflinks. Available in mixed or matching colours, all look good enough to eat – but that’s something I really wouldn’t advise.

You can pick up a pair for £8. Check out the website for more on the full jewellery range.
