The greens and blacks

Back to work today (boo), admittedly after 5 and a half weeks off, but still pants. I bought myself this huge chunky cuff bangle yesterday from a local garden centre for the bargain price of £1.99. Proof that accessorising doesn't need to be a costly business! The ring was one of my birthday presents from Sainsbury's new range (really worth a look) and the necklace is very old and well-worn.

Steel blues

Still catching up, so this first post is for yesterday's accessories. Had a lovely birthday present from my strive for 5 guru on Tuesday and I wore part of the haul (5 pieces obviously) on Wednesday. The new signet-style ring, plaited necklace and bracelet set are all part of Accessorise's new range.

Pearls of wisdom

A bit behind schedule today! Yesterday I had work friends over for lunch and then in the evening I went to my book club night with my sister. We discussed The Twins by Saskia Sarginson - worth a read and it provided a good discussion. I wore a necklace and bracelet set made up of pearly stones, along with a coiled grey ring and some pearly earrings (that I wore on my wedding day).

Pot of gold

A lovely evening out on Saturday called for some gold and sparkles. I love this necklace, an old Accessorise piece (donated by my good friend Eilidh). It's a bit Cleopatra-esque and requires a plain black background, as it completely dominates an outfit.

The ring was a souvenir from my recent trip to Dublin. I thought the sparkly shamrock was very fitting.

What's black and red with spots?

A surprisingly sunny day today so time to give my new polka dot capri pants an airing. Lots of red accessories set them off a treat!

Purple phase

I've been in Dublin this week so apologies for the lack of updates. I did accessorise but was too busy sight-seeing to blog. I did of course, make time to shop for some accessories and I'll be sharing my finds over the next few days. 

But first, here's today's accessories...

Animal magic

I'm under the weather today and it's miserable outside, so a bit of clashing animal print was called for...
