With Mothers day drawing near (22nd March 2009) the jewellery stores are coming up with ideas of a special present you can buy for your Mum.

Links of London have come up with a Flutter & Wow collection which includes necklaces, rings and earrings which includes heart shaped pendants.

These come in gold and silver and are not a bad price, they start from £65 to a whopping £4000 for a 18ct Gold & Diamond Bangle.

They also do a charm collection which I have seen lots of older ladies wearing so why not treat your Special Mother to one of these but these do not come cheap…

Mamas & Papas have brought out a line of jewellery to go with their maternity range and personally i would not wear it (if i ever get pregnant) as i don’t see why you have to get dowdy stuff when every female has a large jewellery collection already.

I have been looking at the spring / summer collection and the majority of it is beeds, where does it state that you have to wear beads when you are pregnant.
Get your charm bracelets, chandalier earrings, layered necklaces out to accessorise your outfit, why change just because you are having a baby??

For all of you who are on the dating scene at the moment make sure you accessorise your outfit to give you that extra confidence, i know it sounds stupid but when you have an outfit on you are happy with you look happy on the outside but i know when you dont you just dont want to be there.
Dont forget to put you earrings in, ring on and bracelet on but remember to over accessorize is ok at the moment, i love piling on the jewellery especially when i am wearing my pearls and cream/white jewellery with a black outfit as it brings some colour out but black is still a slimming colour.
Jewellery does not have to cost a fortune, all the high street shops like Topshop, River Island, Dorothy Perkins, New Look etc have gorgeous items which will not clear you out because you always have to remember when dating he may just ask you to pay half of the bill.

I am really into the stud earrings at the moment as i seem to wear my hair up a lot at the moment because it is at an awkward length but i am not on the dating scene at the moment so i dont have to worry about all this.

I have only just noticed that New Look has a range for Teenagers which has quite a large section for the jewellery range and accessories.

When i was young there was only Tammy Girl (which has now closed down) which we could shop in but now there is more of a range for Teenage girls but i cant help but notice they are still trying to dress older than they actually are.

The jewellery seems to range from about £4 to £10 and the stuff is not half bad either.

To have a look at the items in stock go to www.newlook.co.uk

Pendant necklace £5

I am loving all the white jewellery out at the moment, i went to Primark the other week and walked away with a pearl headbank, pearl bracelet, 2 pearl necklaces and a pair of white plastic bracelets all for under £15.

Asos has a good range of white plastic jewellery like this bow plastic bracelet below for only £6 but it does come in black as well.

This colour is great for making the dullest little black dress look alive with a bit of colour.  I decided to wear all my jewellery i got from primark at once except for the headband…

With the Christmas period over and done with i know everyone will have a bit more money to be going out and will now be looking for the perfect accessorie to go with their Going out Dresses.  All the high street stores (what is left of them as they all seem to be closing down) and online stores have a large selection of jewellery from the chandelier earrings to the necklaces and the funky bracelets.
You can also add a bit of bling with your dress by finding one with a bit of sparkle to it or some seaquins (try Asos for a few examples), although the lace dresses are all in this season so it would have to be for a special occasion.
Waist belts are an alternative to funk up your going out dresses and can be purchased in all sizes, shapes and colours.  I love the t’shirt dresses with a belt just below your bust which not only makes your waist look tiny but also makes you look like you have larger assets than you were born with.
If you have any ideas of how you can accessorise your going out dresses on a budget leave me note at the bottom of this post.

According to the Topshop Stylenotes newsletter i receive weekly the Hippy Chic is going to be in this season and they have a range of ethnic enspired jewellery to help you keep up to date.

With feather inspired necklaces, etched earrings and floral painted wooden beads and coin chains you cant go wrong with the jewellery trend for spring.

I am sure that the other shops like new look, river island, asos and the rest of the high street or online stores will have their own versions as well.

for a look at what they have got visit www.topshop.com or visit their store on your local high street.

If you thought Dune was just for shoes you would be wrong as they have now launched a range of jewellery including statement necklaces, chunky cocktail rings for spring summer 2009, a selection of charm bracelets and other beaded pieces.

I have been on the website www.dune.co.uk and the bracelets range from £28 to £35, the necklaces are around £40-£45 and the rings seem to be around £25 so not the cheapest in the world but you can also save a shopping trip and buy a pair of shoes to justify the postage cost.  he

My personal favorite is the necklace below at a cost of £45..

I am not a big fan of Men’s jewellery that you can buy in high street shops but i have been looking around to see if it has got any better but by the looks of it nothing has changed.

Only a certain type of man can get away with wearing it and most of the ones that try are children so what do you expect??

I dont get the think with the beads and the crosses that you can buy, i personally think it looks cheap but if anyone has a different opinion let me know at the bottom of this post.
