Diamante hair corsages

Elasticated silver bracelet

Green Carte Postale purse

Swallow stud earrings

Gabrielle soft blue maxi dress

I'm so pleased to announce a giveaway of $100 worth of store credit for Anusha, and it's open to readers worldwide!

Anusha is the brain child of Elizabeth Raderecht. Started in 2004, Elizabeth hand-picks everything for her beautiful boutique and only stocks things that she likes to wear or have in her own home. Each item is beautifully photographed and set to inspire and comes gift wrapped in lashing of wrapped paper. From beginning to end, shopping at Anusha is a treat! Always on the look out for more treats Elizabeth constantly freshens her store with pretty treasures between the main spring/summer and autumn/winter seasons. I have my eye on the delicately pretty swallow stud earrings and and the postale purse in cream for an upcoming wedding later next month.

To enter, please visit Anusha and then leave a comment below this post letting me know what you would spend your store credit on. The giveaway ends on Saturday, July 30th 2011 at 10pm (GMT) and I will randomly select and announce a winner on Sunday, July 31st.

Friday Feature - RubyJu

Welcome to Friday Feature. This week I am sharing with you the gorgeous, stylish dessert tables and candy buffets from RubyJu.

RubyJu is the work of best friends, Bec and Tammi, who found their combined love of fashion, entertaining, design, and all pretty handmade things brought them together to create RubyJu. The pair are based on the Gold Coast of Australia and there they create their unique dessert tables and candy buffets. I love the colour palettes and the intricate detail in their tables, from the satin ribbon wrapped macarons to the mini wedding cake pops and rose topped cupcakes.

To see more of RubyJu's work check out their pretty site and cute blog.

Happy Friday, sweets!
