I don't usually wear a lot of jewellery, but that's mostly because I hardly have any, as I tend to always focus my buying towards items of clothing! However, I have had my eye on a few pieces that I really want. The first two are from Lady Luck Rules Ok, which I have loved for years; their stuff is just so cute! The russian doll necklace is personalised with your own name on it too!

The 'Yeah!' necklace is from a shop called Me & Zena that I just recently saw in a magazine, I really love it but I resent paying £22 for something that was probably about £2 to manufacture - if that! The same goes for the Tatty Devine necklace too. £40?!?!?!!!!!!! Come on!! But still, they are both really nice and if I had that much money to waste I would totally buy them.... or I could just get somebody to buy them for me? :-D

Yesterday I went charity shopping with some friends and picked up these bits:


This cute little cameo brooch. The face looks a bit mangled but I love the gold frame, especially the crown detail at the top.




I am collecting odd frames with pretty things inside to put on my bedroom wall. The little one was 99p and the larger one is a beautiful bouquet of pressed flowers from 1987.


Vinyl records:


The Cure - Lovecats (single)



The Glenn Miller Story Soundtrack



Favourites of the Forties



Hits from the Swinging Sixties

I was browsing online and saw that Asos have some very pretty jewellery. After quite a long time shopping in cheap charity and vintage shops, I resent paying £8 for a necklace or £21 for a brooch, but then I have to remind myself that high-street prices are always quite high (with the exception of Primark, but we all know what that store is like - if you don't, read Lady Melbourne's experience to find out what I mean!)
Anyway, I guess if I had a job it wouldn't be such a stretch, but for now I think i'll put a few of these items on my Christmas list:


Small gold bow necklace £5.88 - my favourite out of the lot! so cute!!



Large bow and black gem necklace £7.83



Large bow and pearl necklace £7.83



Rose necklace £8.32



Cut glass earrings £7.83



Chandelier drop earrings £7.83



Pearl brooch £21.54

I realised the other day that I don’t wear jewellery very often; I have a pair of large pearl earrings that I got from TopShop ages ago and sometimes I wear a pearl necklace, but other than that it just never really crosses my mind. Now, if I had some fabulous jewellery to wear, then we’d be in business! So, I thought that I would really like a cocktail ring, not only to wear in the evening, but also as a fun accessory for daytime too.

Lydia Courteille at Brownsfashion.com white gold ring £6,800

Dior at eLuxury.com art deco £180

I have also recently discovered a website called Polyvore.com which has a massive archive of product photographs from loads of different websites and you can make collages of outfits. I think it’s a really fun way to either plan outfits you would like to buy or just to make inspirational collages of looks you like. I used the site to make some outfits to go with the cocktail rings:
