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 friends are all raving about the new line of jewellery on Asos made by Disney.  One of them has bought the Disney Couture 14ct Gold plate “Fairest Of Them All” necklaces (Seen Below) which costs £24.50 online, which Lindsay Lohan has been seen wearing.

I have also found on Asos a 14ct Gold Plate Sitting Tink necklace, a Gold Plated Beauty & the Beast Crest Ring, a Gold And Crystal “Believe” Short Necklace and they have lots of other items on there as well.

My friends got them because they are different and a bit fun.

For more information go to www.asos.com and have a look.


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

Rihanna has requested that all the jewellery taken as evidence the night she was allegedly attacked by her now ex boyfriend Chris Brown be returned to her.

She was wearing $1.4 million (£1 million) worth of jewellery just hours before the Grammy Awards in February.

The jewellery included earrings and three rings were on loan to the Umbrella singer from an unamed shop but her lawyer, Donald Etra, said he believes the police will have no problem in releasing the jewellery.

“Apparently, initially, the police felt that it would be needed as evidence, ” Mr Etra told the BBC.
“Now the belief is that photographs would be more than sufficient.
“That being the case, we’re asking the district attorney to return the pieces.”

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 am loving all of the stud earrings which are in shops either on your high street or online.  Miss Selfridge have a great selection from Pearls, flowers, buttons and different metal ones.

Some people still like to wear the large dangley earrings but the studs are supposed to be big this spring / summer but i suppose it is each to their own.

All the high street shops have them in and you can spend as little as you want or as much as you want but they all look the same to me and i would rather buy lots of than pay more.

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..

Engagement rings originally served a double purpose, it was partial payment for the bride and a symbol of the groom’s intentions and these are seen as the ultimate symbol of someones love.

The wedding ring is a symbol of marriage and a promise of each others love.
Diamond earrings are a common way to mark an occasion wether it be an aniversary, a birthday or just a reason to tell someone you love them.

Diamonds are known as the hardest known naturally occuring mineral and are very hard to scratch or damage (unless hit with a hammer than they will smash)

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.
