I have been looking for some casual jewellery wear as I seem to be just slobbing about in my quicksilver clothes as they are they make the most comfortable jeans in the world when you want baggy ones.

I have found that New look do lots of quirky little stud earrings or even  hoops depending on the look you are going for but be careful you don’t look like a chav when wearing hoops and casual clothes because I have nearly made this mistake lots of times.

Top shop and River Island do a good range as well but I have found these tend to be more dress up jeweler with their headbands, cocktail rings, over the top necklaces and even bracelets.

I am obsessed with shoes at the moment, the other day I threw away 8 pairs of shoes which I have not even worn in about a year as they are so dated but I convinced myself that they would come back into fashion one day.

Lastly I have to say that I saw a girl going into the gym the other day with a full face of make up on, bangles all the way up her arm, a long necklace on and big hoop earrings, why on earth would she do that??

My best friend got married the other week and had the most amazing wedding i have ever been to (no i am not biast) and her bracelet was a pearl one from Thomas Sabo and to find something to go with the dress she had made was always going to be hard but it went perfectly.

All us bridesmaids bought the elastic pearl bracelets so we had them matching and at £25 each we were well chuffed as we can wear them again.

I know i seem to talk about Thomas Sabo a lot but that is because i think it is good quality jewellery with a reasonable price tag attached.

There are loads of sales on at the moment so this means all the shop windows have banners advising of this, i know there is a recession on at the moment but i must say it is an advantage to my shopping habit as it means i get more for my money.

I am loving the Dorothy Perkins sale at the moment and they even had half price jewellery online which i may have purchased a few items.  Looks like i am going to have to buy a bigger jewellery box and even a new wardrobe to go with them.

The sales in my favorite shops beat the buy one get one free offers in the supermarket during the depressing weekly shop.

If you log on to the websites you can sign up for weekly or daily newsletters so that you don’t miss the online deals when they happen and they have some great deals so why not sign up during your lunch break and waste some time and to annoy your friends sign them up but use their work email so they get in trouble.. he

thomas-saboI tried to buy this bracelet the other day in the Trafford Centre, i went to Selfredges and the Thomas Sabo shop they have and they did not have this in my size, they had lots of small, Large and Extra Large but no Medium.

I threw a right paddy (i am a child when i cant get my own way) and stormed out.

Why is it when you really want something wether it be clothes, jewellery or any other thing you can think of and it always seems to ruin your shopping trip.

What annoyed me most was that my Boyfriend got what he went for and i came away with nothing…

I have found a few tips on how to keep your jewellery in tip top condition.

1. only wear jewellery for appropriate tasks, eg, dont wear rings for washing up, cleaning, gardening or sports activities.
2. take jewellery off when applying hairspray, perfume or using nail varnish removers.
3. Clean all jewellery regularly using special products.}
4. When removing rings for tasks, eg going to the gym, washing up, don’t leave them by the sink always add them to your necklace or put away properly.
5. Take all jewellery off when swimming as chlorine can cause damage.

The biggest advice i can give is to never scrimp on jewellery as the cheaper it is the worst it has been made.

I have just been looking on the ‘New In’ section on the Topshop website and they do have some nice stuff in at the moment but at the same time they had some horrible items in like the Lion Ring and some bracelets but overall it looks good.

It looks like Scarf’s are going to be big this simmer and also bright coloured jewellery and also lots of bangles worn at once.

I am particularilly loving the flower studs flower-cluster-stud at £12 per pair and also the bangle sets at only £10 and you get loads of them for your money..

I have just had a look on Asos.com and they have a brand new section with items which are £10 and under.  There is a few bracelets and necklaces on there which arent half bad.

There is actucally a nice French Connection bangle which is priced at £4.00 (see picture below) whichi i think is a bargain too good to miss, especially with the summer coming up and all the dresses being dusted down.

asos-bangle1There is a sale on selected shoes as well with up to 50% off so whilst you are looking at the bargain jewellery why not pick up a pair of shoes as well??

Believe it or not but Evans is on fire at the moment with their selection of jewellery they have on offer at the moment, from their bracelets / bangles to their necklaces they are all gorgeous.

The white cuff’s they have for sale are going to be hot this spring / summer.

evans-cuffEvans is known to be a shop which sells clothes for the upper size (14 - 32) and actually has some cute clothes for the upper sized lady.

It is nothing to be ashamed of being a larger curvier lady, with the clothes and the accesories they have you will be wowing people wherever you go…

I am loving Primark at the moment, i went in on Sunday and ended up buying loads of jewellery as it is so cheap but that does not mean that it falls apart as soon as you wear it.

I especially loved it when they had all the pearls jewellery in, they had chunky necklaces, wrap around necklaces, head bands, bracelets and earrings.

It is not only jewellery that you can buy to bling up an outfit, they have all the new style handbags, scalfs, head bands and belts.

I know that i am not the only Primark fan so if you have any tips on what is in at the moment leave a message at the bottom.

I know I keep on banging on about Asos but it’s because it is an easy shopping experience as all you have to do is go online purchase your items than just wait for them to be delivered.

They have just brought out a new jewellery range and it seems to be a lot of bangles and rings.

There is a lot of gold, wood and white plastic involved with all of the items, i especially love the ring shown below which only costs £6 and there are lots of items to match with it.

For a look of all the items visit www.asos.com and let me know what you think.
