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.

Does Nivea not realise that we are currently going through a recession?

If you have the cash to flash though you can buy a jar of Nivea cream encrusted with 411 ethically sourced white diamonds set in white gold.

Might seem a little crazy but it is for a good caused all funds raised will go directly to Breast Cancer care, which helps support women in difficult times so they purchase wont leave you guilt ridden.

Nivea cream does work wonders for your skin as it contains Bioxilift and Hyaluonic Acid, that offers both instant and long-term effects for women aged 50-65 to help you you looking youthful. If you are lucky enough to be able to purchase the jar you will also receive a year’s supply of Nivea Visage Expert Lift.

Would definitely add glamour and bling to your dresser!

I went shopping with my Boyfriend yesterday and we ended up in a Jewellers in Manchester City Centre as I wanted to try on some items and the lady in the shop was really distant with us as I was wearing baggy jeans, ugg boots and a jumper and my boyfriend had on jeans, trainers and jumper but when she saw what type of watch i had on her attitude towards us changed.

I think this is wrong that people judge the book by the cover as I could have gone in there and spend thousands but because she was off with us when we entered I didn’t bother buying anything.

I find this is the same when I go looking for cars, just because I am a girl in her 20’s and don’t always dress up they look at you like you are an alien.

A word of warning don’t presume we have no money just because we dont dress up to go shopping…

I am finding now that a lot of places are using discount codes for the likes of half price delivery, special offer (eg 2 for 1) and they are adding these on to their website.

For example i received a news letter from Dorothy Perkins by email today and the special offer of the moment is half price delivery when you spend over £40 if your use the code when ordering your items.  Another good online store is Asos which recently had an offer for 20% of when you use the code given to you.

There are also lots of sites out there which your can print off vouchers with discounts on which a lot of my friends use and email me the vouchers to which they think would be usefull.  I have been online today looking to see what they have on offer and there are loads of differnt items/ services you can get them for.  Eg – Ipod engraving, clothes, electrical goods, mobile phones, jewellery, flowers.

For a look at what you can get type Discount Codes in Google and have a look at what it brings up,  you may be suprised.

Let me know if you get any great offers that cant be missed.

A couple of friends of mine have asked me to write to inform you that some jewellery items from Topshop have been breaking on them.

one of them informed me that they have bought a ring with a chunky flower 3 times now and each time one or more of the petals have fallen off, another one said a necklace with stars on kept on loosing the stars and a bracelet kept loosing chains and another necklace snapped.

I could understand if they were £5 or under but the ring cost £10 and the necklace cost around £15.

A new ring was purchased from River island for £10 and this one is still intact even after wearing it numerous times.

It looks like Kerry Katona has taken the leech Mark Croft back when pictures emerged yesterday of them kissing in Tesco Car Park (what will Iceland say??) after throwing him out after fears that millions of pounds of her money is missing but revealed in The Sun Kerry is having an investigation to find out where all her money has gone as she earns approx £1 million a year through Iceland adverts and magazine deals but now says she is too poor to pay bills or buy food.

Kerry has earned a reported £6 million since being with Mark but he has spent a lot of that on Motorbikes, Luxury Cars and shopping sprees and her house cost £1.2 million.

She needs to get a life and bin the looser as she could do so much better on her own.

Gold bags are a must have at the moment but they can be worn 24/7 so no need to just get them out at night.
There are loads of different one available at the moment, Dior has a gorgeous one which is of course out of my price range, Russell & Bromley has one which is out of my league as well but you can get more affordable ones from the likes of Asos, River Island, New Look, Fiorelli and many more.
So ladies get ready to shine and sparkly with your new gold bag but always remember to team it up with a killer outfit…

I have found a site based in the USA that make bracelets which have a name in beads which i think would be quite sweet for a little girl as a birthday present.  They are made from Sterling Silver or 18 Carat Gold.

You can have 1 name, 2 names made for twins and they even have ones with your birthstone on if you want to be different.

Tiny Sugars are doing a range for the upcoming Mothers day which is on 22nd March 2009 and even for Grandmothers if you would like to treat them as well as your Mum.

For a look at all the products go to www.tinysugars.com.

Kerry Katona is getting divorced for the 2nd time in 5 years from former cabbie Mark Croft and she has even informed her solicitors to start proceedings.

I am not suprised after he has fathered a child which he wants nothing to do with which was aparently concieved before they got together and apprently cheated on her as well.

Since she was declared bankrupt in August 2008 for failing to pay an £82,000 tax bill which was reduced from £417,00 it was rumoured that Kerry transfered money and assets to Mark so this could not be taken from her when the baillefs came in.

She changed her status on Face Book to single but than footage filmed for her new MTV show yesterday captured the emotional moment Kerry called her publicist to confirm that she is ending her relationship to cheating husband Mark which she married Valentines day 2007 in Gretna Green.

I know not all mothers are under the age of 50 but H Samuel have some really disgusting items on their website which they are recomending as Mothers day presents which personally I know not even my Grandma would wear and she is 70+.

they have a selection of brooches ranging from around £20 and a ring which costs £99, I don’t know how they can advertise these and think they will sell them.

To have a look and to see if your MUM would wear these visit www.hsamuel.co.uk and leave me a message at the end of this post of your honest opinion.
