With celebs such as Fearne Cotton embracing this trend, make sure you check out our Cross Collection. The Cross of the season? Our Gothic Crystal Cross

Eat Pray Love

I went to the Eat Pray Love premiere last night in London which was fabulous! Julia Roberts looked amazing as always in a white Stella McCartney trouser suit. The film was good - it definitely made me want to go and find myself in Bali, preferably with Javier Bardem.

I wore lovemedesigns Crystal Cross Necklace which complemented my black maxi dress perfectly! (As you can see am desperately hanging onto what is left of the summer!)

A cupcake a day...

Apparently it's National Cupcake Week this week! Who'd have thought?! So in honour of these tasty little treats and for all you lovely people out there who like me are slightly obsessed, here is a pic of my absolute FAVOURITE cupcake of all time...


You guessed it...Red Velvet.

Happy Cupcake Week!!

A singer, a film and a bonfire

So last night was fun...I was invited to party at Imogen Heap's house (well, it was actually in her garden and typical me arrived wearing a little summer dress, ankle boots and a flimsy denim shirt, forgetting that it's actually cold now). Anyway, we were there to view my friend's documentary which is about the making of Imogen's album 'Ellipse.'


There was two yurts in her garden decorated with beautiful fairy lights and chinese lanterns - one yurt was full of food and the other full of drink - perfect! (The highlight of my evening - apart from the film of course - was the ENORMOUS pot of melted dark chocolate toblerone which we had over strawberries whilst sitting next to the bonfire, heaven!)


What I love about Imogen is how she expresses herself through her clothes and accessories. She loves to experiment with different styles and she certainly isn't afraid of stepping outside the box when it comes to fashion. Her personality shines through what she wears and more importantly how she wears it! Fabulous.

Bling is back

I do love a bit of bling. Seen here at Swarovski, this piece below just screams fabulous. Consisting of Crystal Satin, Jet Hematite and Jet crystal beads, it is certainly a necklace with attitude.


I'm completely besotted with this stunning piece from New York designer Assad Mounser. Not for the faint-hearted, this necklace is the epitome of glam rock. Dare to wear it?

Here at lovemedesigns we do are more wearable version of the above! Check out our Cross Collection which incorporates crystals, pearls and diamante pendants. I think it's fun to glam it up and wear a bit of bling every day - why wait for a special occasion?!

Meet the loveme family

At lovemedesigns, we are a tiny team of three, so allow me to introduce everyone...

I'm Mel, the voice behind the blog. I, alongside my lovely Mum Linda, are the designers here at loveme and work very closely together even though we live at opposite ends of the world! Whilst I'm in the hustle and bustle of London, Mum lives in the beautiful city of Cape Town and she often says it is the breathtaking scenery and nature which inspires her.

Many of the stones we use in our pieces are sourced from Cape Town and I often go back home to source new materials (as well as getting my fix of the South African sunshine!)


Last but not least is Chuck, our marketing whizz and online guru! Without Chuck we wouldn't have a website or a blog, so he is the brains behind this operation!

At lovemedesigns we are extremely passionate about what we do. We hope you like the designs and we're always happy to hear from you!
