The new Omega Seamaster Limited Edition James Bond 007 Gents Watch is now out to buy in shops.   Goldsmiths have it up for sale at £1950.00.

The specifications of the watch are: “Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer Limited Edition James Bond 007 Gents Watch, Black Dial with Date Function, Domed Anti-Reflective Scratch Resistant Sapphire Crystal, Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet with Deployment Clasp, Omega 2500 Self Winding Chronometer and Co-Axial Escapement Movement with Rhodium Plated Finish, Water Resistant up to 300 Metres”

I personally don’t think it is anything special but each to their own.

DKNY have brought out a new jewellery range which can be seen at Goldsmiths.  I have had a look and a lot of it does not look anything special but there are some nice items to be seen for men and women but i think they could have done better.  I usually love their watches but they look plain and very childlike.  For a full  look at all the items visit Goldsmiths online or on the high street.

DKNY Circles Stainless Steel and Rhinestone Multi Circle Link Bracelet for her £100.00

DKNY Circles Grey Stainless Steel and Brown Rhinestone Script Logo Stud Earrings for her £55.00

DKNY Circles Stainless Steel and Rhinestone Square Ring for her £40.00

It looks like Cheryl Cole has now finally forgiven Ashley for his cheating as she has finally put her engagement and wedding ring back on.  The X Factor judge shows off her wedding ring on this week’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

Cheryl has been quoted saying “I was tempted to put it [the ring] back on – in his head!” so from saying this to putting the ring back on things must be back on track.

Well I cant blame you for making him pay, you may be a celebrity but we are all human and have problems.

Fashion Jewellery will always be a must have for all women as it is always needed. I have been trying to browse through different online shops and have found a few sites with different jewellery selections on. The one that i found a lot of gorgeous items on was Shefaly House Of Jewels as well as jewellery they also make handbags. They have a group of people that travel the world to find new ideas and they only use Swarovski and Czech gemstones and Austrian Crystals of the highest quality. The best thing about it is that a lot of the items are at a more affordable price than the high street shops.

Vintage Topaz Cocktail Ring £26

Grey Diamond Earrings - £10

This Autumn’s thriftiest accessory is going to be the brooch. Once the preserve of Dot Cotton and the Queen these have been decorating stars such as Claudia Schiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chloe Sevigny. The more over sized the more a statement will be made. These have been seen on the Miu Miu catwalk and Moschino.

For a change this is a purse friendly trend.

Accessorize - £14

John Lewis - £35

Butler & Wilson - £58

So go on girls, embrace the OAP chic.

I know i may seem to be insulting a lot lately but it just has to be said. Why is it that Rappers get a bit of money in their pocket they have to go and get a stupid pair of fake gold teeth. I don’t know what kind of statement they are trying to make, whether it be how rich they are or how good they look, but they look hideous and the only girls that would even think twice of going near them with that gold thing in their mouth are the ones who are only after their money and maybe fame….

My new favorite shop at the moment is All Saints, not only do they do really funky and different clothes but they also do jewellery.

I went into the shop the other day and the sales assistant was really helpfull, i bought a new dress and asked what accessories she would recommend as i am hopeless at matching jewellery and she helped me try on all sorts and i ended up buying the below necklace at a reasonable cost of £35.00.

They also do some items for men if any of you fancy a treat for the other half why not go to a shop or go online.

I met up with an old school friend the other day and 1 thing really put me off all through lunch, she had a ring in her nail. I don’t know if it is just me but i think it looks so cheap and tacky and it was in fashion in the nineties not in the noughties. Don’t get me wrong i think 1 or 2 fake diamond’s don’t look too bad with the right pattern but if it is on a plain white tip that just looks wrong to me.

If anyone disagrees with me please let me know as i would like to know if it is just me…..

I was shocked last week when one of my friends dragged me into Wallis to have a look around, i always associated it with a shop my Mum would go in but i ended coming home with some funky jewellery at a low price.

For example:

Cluster Ring £12                      Stretch Bracelet £10          Solitaire band £12

I didn’t just stop there, i also bought a Silver Vintage Frame Bag at a bargain price of £25 which looked perfect with the Jewellery a LBD and a pair of black 6 inch stiletto shoes….

So for all you who think like me and presume all clothing and accessories are aimed at 40+ year olds think again.

I have been looking for a handbag with a touch of bling to brighten up a plain black dress which i absolutely love wearing.  Fiorelli have a great selection of bags but it has been hard to choose between the 2 bags below so i had to buy both.  Both are available in Gold but the bronze colour is far more classy for a night on the town with the girls.

For more choice or a better look log on to the Fiorelli website.

Clutch £39.00                                  Medium £65.00
