For all you Liverpool Football Club supporters I think I may have found the worst item of jewellery you could wear to show how loyal you are to your team.

On the Liverpool Football Club official online store you can buy a LFC silver ring with diamantes in the writing. This is possible the tackiest item of jewellery I have ever seen and could only imagine a chav wearing this as they are getting their asbo in court….

I am sure other Football Clubs have some jewellery just as hideous but I could not resist writing about this.

I have been looking for cute Christmas ideas for all the Photographs on Christmas day and I have found a hideous idea of putting babies in Tutu’s. A website in America has come up with the idea that a baby would actually look cute in a baby grow and tutu, I cant see how this can be.

I think it would look cute for a family picture but not at Christmas, that is when the little red Mrs Santa suits come out (it is tradition) or the novelty bibs and hats come out.

This is just my opinion so if anyone disagrees let me know.

Victoria Secret have launched a new bra costing a whopping £3.15 million pounds!!!!!!!

This bra is so expensive as it has more than 3,900 gems including black and white diamonds and rubies are embroidered onto the bra, with the whole thing weighing more than 1,500 carats. Adriana Lima was the lucky girl chosen to model the extravagant number in the Victoria Secret’s Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalogue and this will also be seen on the 2008 runway show.

The man behind the creation of this is Celebrity Jeweler Martin Katz.

Well I know I wont be going to buy one but any of you luck enough to be able to afford on visit Victoria’s Secret for further information.

When you think of bling it does not always have to involve jewellery, I have found these cute little Ballerina shoes with a diamante on the front. They come in a few different colors and I had to get 3 out of the 4.

Believe it or not these shoes are from Wynsors and cost a mere £7.95 so they are affordable to everyone, but if you went to River Island or Topshop you would be looking at paying £15.00 plus.

For further details visit Wynsors online or there is a list of shops you can visit…

As the nights are getting darker earlier so do our wardrobes but black does not have to be Sombre so liven up your outfits with jolts of bright colour’s.

The LBD has been a dependable staple for over a century now, whether a simple shift or a glam cocktail frock there is nothing quite as chic and timeless.

The options are limitless, there are the large bangles, cocktail rings and the oversized earrings but there is only 1 rule, the brighter the better. Match colorful tights and jewellery and you can’t go wrong.

One of the hot trends for this season is the American Classic Look as seen by Blair Wardolf in Gossip Girls but this look was kicked off by Clueless.  This look will involve being impeccably dressed, but it is not one for the goodie two shoes. Ralph Lauren is said to be king in perfecting this look so have a look at this seasons range he has out. On the Jewellery side it is easy to perfect this look with bows and beads either on the clothes or by the way of jewellery. For some ideas have a look on Asos.com.

I have found the cutest online shop which i can buy my nieces their Christmas presents from.  Bling Baby is for boys and girls and has loads of good ideas ranging from bibs, shoes and baby gro’s and all have dimonte’s on them.  I have put a couple of pictures on of what i like but visit the site for some more ideas.  You never know you may want to make your own…

I am a big fan of Juicy Couture handbags and the valor tracksuits and now they have brought a line of watches out primarily for women.  The stuff that they create is funky and quirky. The price is not the cheapest but I don’t mind paying the price as everything I have purchased from them has lasted. As well as watches they do a lot of funky jewelry which I have just found on their site and which will have to be purchased on the next pay day. For a full look at all the jewelry and watches visit the Juicy Couture website.

Links of London have a new collection out called the Anthology Collection.  This is being advertised in fashion magazines at the moment like Grazia (6 October issue).  They come in earrings, bracelets and necklaces and each stone has its own meaning.  My personal opinion is that a lot of it looks like tat but they do have a couple of nice pieces but the nice ones are not cheap.  I can’t see this style of jewelry catching on but everyone has their own taste. To have a look for yourself visit www.linksoflondon.com.

£1500

A must have for me at the moment is my pearl stud earrings as they go with absolutely everything. I got mine from Primark at a bargain price of £2 and they look like they cost £200. Instead of the diamond they stand out and draw attention away from any nasty spots on your face. My mum laughed at me though as I have always laughed at her saying she was old for wearing pearls so just goes to show you can nick your mums jewellery and still look trendy…
