Out of Africa

A lovely work colleague of my husband asked him if she could bring him something back from her visit home to Uganda. He of course said, jewellery! For me, not him. He's good like that. This beaded necklace is my present and I've added a handmade beaded ring and some old Accessorize earrings. 

The cutting room floor

Some extra bits, not sure from whence they came!

Cerised

I love the colour cerise and my accessories collection reflects that. It's a colour that never really goes out of fashion and works in Summer, Winter and inbetween.

Saturday girl

Saw my lovely sister for a catch up on Saturday night and pulled out an old Accessorise rope necklace to liven up some jeans. The finger ring is from a lovely boutique in Prestwich called J'Adore.

Chambray blue

Got a lovely dress from Sainsbury's over the summer which I've been saving to wear with black tights and clogs. Tuesday was the perfect opportunity. Got lots of comments about the accessories and the look in general...

Coralessence

I've worn this combo regularly recently. It perked up a black and white outfit on Sunday...

Back by dope demand

I've under-estimated how difficult it is to blog daily. I must make more time! Here's the past 11 days accessorising in photos...

Gold on blue

Saturday night out for a lovely dinner at a friend's house. Gold with blue is on trend this season (apparently!).

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.

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.
