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…

Madonna is going to exhibit more than 300 personal items from her personal collection from her 25 year career.

Included in this will be her Evita Wedding gown and her pink material girl dress.  Also there will be photographs, film props, costumes, concert items and many personal items.

The exhibition is on behalf of Marquee Capital, who own more than 150 Madonna memorabilia items and is showing at London’s Old Truman Brewery until March 22nd.

I wish I lived in London because I think this will be a good exhibition to visit and see close up all the items of Madonna’s live in one room.

Now most people are suffering from the Recession but that does not stop Christian Louboutin bringing out a new style of shoe with a whopping price tag of $6295 or £3,975 and are on sale at the designer’s New York boutique.
Not only do they come in yellow they also come in pink and blue and come with a book explaining how they were made.
Only 36 pairs have been made so I am looking out for which celebrity will have a pair on their feet, I am betting that Victoria Beckham will be pictured by the end of the week with a pair on.

I sooo want to be a celebrity especially when i read that Jennifer Lopez received £35,700 worth of jewellery for showing up at a fashion show for Andrea Lieberman.

A Friend of Andrea Lieberman’s, Swiss billionaire Robert Mouawad, gave J-Lo the jewellery as a present for showing up at the show but reportedly she demanded the jewellery after she borrowed it for the date.

The likes of Gwen Stefani, Leah Remini and Ellen Pompeo also borrowed bling, which was all returned the following day so I am unsure as to why she was given the jewellery but I would not compain if I was in her shoes.

It seems to me that the new thing all the stars are getting at the moment are tattoo’s not jewellery. The latest one to get their tat is Lilly Allen with her shh… on her index finger.

She reportedly had this done in Las Vegas with new BFF Lindsay Lohan but someone has beet her to it. Rihanna has got the same tattoo on the same finger which she was not impressed about as she thought she was being individual.

Maybee she may think before doing something like this, i wish this message would get through to peaches Geldof as i saw a picture of her the other day in a bikini and she is just covered in tattoos and she looks aweful.

Well that is just my opinion so if you have a different one let me know.

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??

Britney Spears starts her world tour this week and i have had a sneak peek at her tour clothes and the one below is the most bling one out of them all.

I am sure it is not gold but it looks god damn good and i wish i had a body like hers to pull it off but i dont so wont even bother.

There have been reports that the ticket sales have not been good at all and that she may have pulled out a few times but for those lucky enough to have afforded the tickets i have heard it will be a good show.

I am not sure what is going on at the moment but everyone wants to buy a designer watch or diamonds (eg engagement ring) but put these on finance with the current climate at the moment this does not always get paid back and than you get a debt collection agency knocking at your door.

This has recently happened to my friend who bought his now fiancé an engagement ring and could not afford the re payments and one day his fiancé had a debt collection agency calling her asking for the payments which had been missed or the ring would go back to the shop and this shocked her as she had no idea it had been put on finance.

The most common reason for this is that people say an engagement ring should be at least 3 months salary so they take this as law but at the end of the day it is the thought that counts not the cost.
If you go online all the high street jewellery shops offer Finance on their jewellery so they can get money in because of the current situation with the credit crunch Jewellery is the last thing which people will want to buy.

Not only did she buy a pink Bentley with pink and black leather interior she has also paid £200,000 on a diamond encrusted dashboard which makes this car the most blinged up one i have ever seen.

The new dashboard will be fitted in the HQ in Crewe but they have put it on hold until early May due to the economic downturn but i bet she has not been hit too badly by the recession like us normal people have.

A spokesman from Bentley has said “We’re used to dealing with the stars so we expect the odd extravagance, but this is something else.”

Paris bought the Bentleyas a Christmas present to herself.

She had it sprayed pink with the Bentley badge being replaced with her own initials. The upholstery, grille and hubcaps are also pink and the car has a tint on the windows to prevent photographs being taken of her inside.

What will she purchase next to shock us???

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.
