Neon Necklace Set

Just a quick little post today, to share with you a little gem of a bargain I've recently picked up. This set of 3 gorgeous Neon Necklaces, from Primark are just £2!

The set consists of a neon pink cross, fixed vertically on a gold coloured chain, a neon yellow triangle with diamanté stones on a gold coloured chain and a gold coloured, diamanté skull on a neon orange chain.

I really love neon jewellery and this set is just some of the collection I bought on a recent shopping trip, but these are by far the best bargain. 3 looks for just £2. Incredible!

What do you think of these? Would you wear them? Do you have any neon jewellery you're loving at the moment?

Festival Outfit from New Look

It's festival season and with the weather showing some hope for summer, I thought I'd put together a summer festival look, all for under £105, from New Look. 

Tousled Hair

The perfect festival hairstyle is one that doesn't need much maintenance and this look is perfect. The tousled waves are easy to maintain with a 'scrunch and go'. They look relaxed and effortless, letting you enjoy yourself without worrying about where to plug in your straighteners!

Light Blue Dress

This Light Blue Floral Crochet Neck Sleeveless Dress, for just £19.99, comes in brown and navy as well as blue and is really girlie and flirting. The high neck is really cute and I love the crochet detail.

Suede Fringe Bag

You always need somewhere to put you phone, purse, sunglasses, sun cream and rechargeable torch (!) and this cute Tan Suede Fringe Back Pack, £29.99, is perfect for holding all your necessaries.

With this bag being a back pack too, your hands are free! Perfect! The fringe detail is really lovely and adds a sense of festival chic!

Ethnic Necklace

This White and Gold Ethnic Bead Statement Necklace, £14.99,  would look gorgeous layered over the crochet neckline of the light blue dress. Statement necklaces are so on trend right now and with this piece, a statement would definitely be made. 

Leather Boots

These are adorable! Sensible footwear is a must on a festival field and these Tan Leather Glitter Back Ankle Boots, just £25 (reduced from £54.99!), are perfectly girlie, to team up with the light blue dress. 

I love the fact that these boots are plain to the first glance and incredibly sparkly and a feminine on the back. Love these! You'll be the envy of your friends when you have dry, comfortable feet with added sparkle!

Sunglasses

These Nude Diamanté Square Frame Sunglasses, £7.99, are a must for the festival season, especially if the sun stays out! You want to be able to see you favourite bands without squinting and looking pretty cool at the same time. So, what better way than with these cute sunnies!

Cuff Bracelet

I love cuffs and stack bracelets and this Gold and Orange Zig Zag Stretch Cuff, £6.99, is perfect for this festival look. The colour beads tie in with the back pack and boots and finishes off the outfit, with a touch of glam. Perfect!

Let me know if you've bought any of these and whether you're wearing them to a festival this year!

What I Wore Yesterday

I thought I'd share with you what I wore out for lunch yesterday. It was a special family Sunday lunch and I wanted to dress up a little, so here is what I chose.

Burgundy Peter Pan shirt - ASOS

Owl necklace - ASOS

Bracelet stack - Primark & Claire's Accessories

Jeans - H&M

Shoes - New Look

I felt really comfortable but stylish too. 

Let me know what you think of this look?

Villancher Fashion Jewellery Boutique Private Viewing

I was invited to a private viewing of Villancher Boutique Fashion Jewellery last night. Esther Hocking, founder of the enterprise, set up her fashion boutique jewellery line after struggling to find the style and individuality she wanted, at affordable prices. 

Hand picked from around the world, Villancher offers a wide range of stylish fashion jewellery pieces and with only a few of each, there is a special feeling of uniqueness that goes with them.

Villancher currently stock Moon C, a brand from Paris, plus J9TwoFive, a range designed and hand crafted in Sri Lanka. So they're pretty special!

There were so many gorgeously unique pieces on display, but to me, the two ranges that I loved were the dolly necklaces and the charm bracelets. 

The dolly necklaces are like nothing I've seen before. They're gorgeous with their individual detail and 'over the top' beautiful'ness! The three I particularly liked were the 'Pink Star', 'Pink Diamante' and the 'Leopard Skin Trousers'. 

The chains are approx 40cm and the dolls themselves 12cm, so they're a really lovely size and weight and truly a gorgeous accessory that will make a real statement. These necklaces would add the finishing touch to a simple white t-shirt and jeans or could easily be dressed up with a little black number. The dollys are priced at just £28.99 each. 

The bracelets are equally as beautiful and individual as the Dolly necklaces. The bracelets come in various colours and designs and each bracelet consists of a number of bracelets, attached together. 

The Multi Strand Silver & Green Bracelet, £22.99, is charming with it's aqua green/blue, silver and wooden beads. The little heart charms are really sweet too, adding that extra dimension that I love about these pieces.

The Multi Strand Pink Ibiza Bracelet, £23.99, is also really cute. The collection of four bracelets as one, have little red, ivory, blue and purple cross charms, plus a silver shell and other little strings of beads, dangling from them. It's simply adorable and by far my favourite. So I bought one!

The Pink Ibiza Bracelet is part of the Moon C collection from Paris and I think it's great. I'm especially in love with the little jangling sound it makes and that I'm wearing something brought over from Paris and not many people will have one the same. That makes it just a little extra special.

Take a look at the collection for yourself. I'm sure you'll find a piece to fall in love with too!

Vintage fair lovliness

I love looking around Vintage and Retro shops and stalls and seeing what little previously loved joys there are to be found and re-loved. The 'All Things Vintage & Lovely' fair in Plymouth yesterday didn't let me down.

The entrance hall, mezzanine and main hall were all packed to the brim with Vintage clothing, accessories and interior ideas. I was spoilt for choice! With the amazing Miss Cherry Bomb providing the live music, I was transported to all things 'Vintage & Lovely'.

Some of the highlights for me were the handmade cake stands and the Aloha Lounge Designs stalls. 

Handmade cake stands

I've always loved and wanted my own cake stand and have seen a couple recently at Wyevale Garden Centre (randomly), which caught my eye. I didn't buy one and am quite glad now, as after I've seen the handmade cake stands at the fair yesterday, I know now that I won't be buying anything other than a unique stand made from vintage china.

The gorgeous cake stands on display yesterday were on average about £25 for three tiers and in most cases were made from different sets of crockery, from different periods. They were truly beautiful. 

You can get similar designs from a company called Cake Stand Heaven and whether this was the company at the show, I'm not sure. These cake stands have even previously featured on Master Chef!

I really love the fact that the plates selected are not necessarily from the same set or era, creating a truly unique piece. I HAVE to get one of these in my house very soon. I think I'm just going to find it hard to pick a favourite!

Aloha Lounge Designs

The items for sale on the Aloha Lounge stall were really cute. There was rings, necklaces, bracelets, purses and much, much more. I fell in love with this cute ring and HAD to buy it.

It looks as if it's made from an old button and I love it. Kinda goes really nicely with my mint nails at the moment too! This was just one of the many designs that I liked and for just £3, was a gorgeous little find.

If you love cute purses, you have to check the Aloha Lounge Designs ones out, there are so many lovely, unique designs available, you won't know which one to go for!

And the cute range of jewellery is really special too.

The next Vintage Fair arranged by Miss Ivy Events is the Super Vintage Fair on 15th/16th June at The Torbay Hotel. For just a £1.50 entrance fee, you should check it out! You never know what you might find!

Owl necklaces & pendants

I have a lot of necklaces, it's true but I think the love for them has just recently been re-ignited. I didn't wear necklaces or earrings for quite a while after I had my daughter Grace (she just wanted to tug on them constantly), however recently with some of the shapes and designs I have seen available, I'm back to browsing, buying and wearing them again.

I have especially always thought that owl necklaces & pendants are really lovely and have two so far of my own. This first of my owl necklaces is really cute, on a short gold chain, with black stone eyes and diamanté detailing for the feathers. 

This lovely little necklace has a good length extender chain and really sparkles in the light. It looks adorable with most outfits but especially with a little black number, adding real character to your neckline. This one was originally from ASOS and although I don't think this one is available any more, they do have a good range of others.

The second of my owl necklaces is this one, which I bought from Dorothy Perkins. This floral owl is on a long cold chain and has a floral belly and diamanté eyes. I love wearing this one with a swing vest, blazer and skinny jeans. It really brightens up any outfit and is sizeable  which I've not seen in most owl necklaces & pendants. 

I don't think you can get this owl in Dorothy Perkins any more, but they do sell it in Debenhams and with a 20% sale at the moment, it's a real steal at just £9.60.

I remember my grandmother having an owl necklace when I was a child. I remember that is head and body were hinged and moved separately to each other as if it were real! You can now buy owl necklaces just like that again and whilst on the hunt for the next feathered creature to add to my collection, I've put together a selection of just a few of the options out there.

1. Vintage Hinged Owl Necklace, £6 from Babi Online
2. Bronze Owl Necklace, £6 from Vintage Princess Jewellery
3. William Wooden Owl Long Pendant, £12 from Accessorize
4. Skye Pearl Owl Necklace, £14 from Very
5. Louche Owl Necklace, £8 from Joy the Store

6. Silver Tone Owl Pendant Long Necklace, £8 from River Island
7. Silver Owl Necklace, £26 from Oliver Bonas
8. Owl Pendant Necklace, £14.99 from Mango
9. Gold and Blue Stone Owl Necklace, £5.99 from New Look
10. Owl Ditsy Necklace, £6 from ASOS

I have also found this adorable Owl Cuff, which I am in love with.

At just £10, this Danielle Owl Cuff from Accessorize is truly beautiful. It's gold toned with diamanté detailing and would look gorgeous in the flesh I have no doubt.

Maybe I've just discovered that it's not just owl necklaces that I love but owl jewellery in general. Uh oh, this could get dangerous!
