EE wears - Autumnal Seventies Style!

You might have already noticed some of the trends that are popping up this season, but one in particular strikes us. A nostalgic nod to the seventies is all the rage, and our Ellie Ellie wears this month is getting on board with the fun and quirky boho revival!

A mix of geo and floral print on this dress from Monsoon sets the mood perfectly for this look, and the right jewellery will look great against it, including our lovely Farthing Coin necklace!

In the Autumn chill, a floppy hat is the ideal accessory. Put on a pair of Wills ethically made brogue shoe boots for a stylish finishing touch to this folklore-inspired outfit!

The Great British Idiom!

We are huge fans of the great British idiom at Ellie Ellie. If you're not sure what exactly an idiom is, it's a group of words that have a particular meaning together that is different from the meanings of each word on its own. You can see an example of a British idiom with our new Idiom jewellery collection!

'Apple of my eye' is a well known idiom referring to someone that you cherish above all others, making it perfect for a girlfriend or best friend.

'Love you to the moon and back' is a well known idiom to tell someone how much they mean to you. The huge distance described relates to the lengths of your love for them.

To give someone 'butterflies' is a well known saying related to falling in love and refers to the feeling in their stomach because a person makes them feel special.




'Birds of a feather, flock together' is a well known idiom linked to friendship. The saying refers to birds of the same species, keeping together and being strong, making these studs a great gift for your best friend.

'Every cloud has a silver lining' is a well known idiom related to optimism. It means that difficult times often lead to better times and that the dark clouds will pass, to reveal sunshine.
