♚ | Jewellery haul | 26.02.2014 | ♚

It's no secret as to how much I love jewellery. High end brands, costume jewellery- I love it. Over the last few months I've gotten a few staple pieces which I love because of their simplicity and intricacy.

Sterling Silver 75cm Chain with skull pendant necklace

I first saw this pretty piece on the Lovisa Instagram which was posted by the fabulous jessneal who is a Lovisa girl herself, and just fell in love with the simplicity of it. I also have the bar as well, which is also on a 75cm chain, and wearing them together dresses up any outfit, or can keep it casual.

Sterling Silver Twist Band with Turquoise Stone Ring

Turquoise is such a beautiful stone in both colour and elegance. Combining it with a sterling silver ring? I didn't stand a chance. I love natural gems and stones, and having them in such a simple setting makes it a staple piece.

Mimco's Button Up Signature Stud in Silver

The illustrious Clarissa first showed me these fab little studs when she was looking at a new staple set. These are unspeakably cute and go with literally everything I own. We were in Mimco recently and fell in love, so I nabbed a pair with Clarissa's blessing, so we can be twins now. 

Marc by Marc Jacobs Dreamy Logo Ring

My honey bee gave me to this for Valentine's Day and it was such a lovely gift. I chose the colours and the style & really love how different it is to everything I own. I love the blue (it's a turquoise thing again!) 

I hope you've enjoyed this haul/the start of me opening my own jewellery store from the amount of stuff I have, haha. 

Stay tuned!

Ally + Lovisa purchases + styling ideas!

Today was such an awesome day for purchases- the only thing that was missing was my right hand man (or girl, yeah, let's go with my right hand gurl) Clarissa because she is my shopping partner in crime & it felt very lonely trawling through shops on my own.

I had a short work day so I got to catch up on some apartment cleaning & get some new pieces for my work uniform. Tuesdays are an awesome day- we get new items and ranges in the store which means I get to sort through all the new jewellery loveliness. My absolute latest favourite range is 'Pastel Prism', or 'Four Colour Corner'- depends on the store you're in & if you're looking online. This range comprises of very muted pastels in coral & mint colours, combining semi-precious and glass accents, subtle & statement necklaces, & very cute pretty earring sets. I love this range simply because it appeals to my preppy 'bows and pearls' side as well as combining pastels with very bold statement pieces. 

In addition to me fangirling over jewellery (it's slowly becoming a problem ^_^) I wandered into Ally to get some new pieces to wear for work. I have seen so many people rocking heeled ankle boots in so many colours and designs that I felt overwhelmed with choice; upon seeing a few pairs in Ally had me trying them on & walking out with a pair, haha. Also nabbed me some new baroque floral print pants which are shown below:

Green and Peach Coloured Bow Circle studs! I love these so much already- I'd wear these with a high collared button up shirt with jeans & flats for a more casual look, or dress it up with a cute Peter Pan collared dress & cute boots. 

A snapshot of some of today's purchases- Baroque Floral Pattern pants from Ally, Cross Weave Ankle Boots with Metal Trim from Ally, Green & Peach Coloured Bow Circle Studs from Lovisa, & other pieces to create a look- Black Silk top from Sportsgirl, 'Dream' Gold and Black bracelet from Lovisa, & 'Greetings from Las Vega Nevada' travel journal from Typo.

I love the boots, & especially the gold trim on the toe- I'm wearing a lot more gold accessories these days & I'm excited for what I can wear them with. I'm digging the floral print on the pants as well- statement print in an outfit can make it so much more interesting, & I plan on matching the pants with all the items shown here, & adding a black pleather envelope clutch with gold stud detailing to tie in with the boots & accessories. 

That's all from me tonight!

Stay tuned.
