Christmas Pudding

When your earrings express how you physically feel!

Spanish treasures

I've recently spent a weekend in magical Madrid, what a beautiful city! As usual, I was on the hunt for some jewellery to bring back. Here are two of the gorgeous rings that I bought - both under 5 euros.

Weekend retreats

This weekend I stuck to monochrome clothing and accessories, just adding an accent of red to match my lippy!

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. 

Crystal blue

I have said it before, but Sainsbury's have a fab range of jewellery at the moment. Yesterday I treated myself to a ring (£5), earrings (£5) and a trio of bracelets (£8) for a night out. Also got a fabulous biker jacket and knee length boots (photos to follow) which I paired with a little tea-dress I'd found at F+F Tesco last week.

Mother of pearls

A lovely Autumnal day yesterday saw me wrapped up in shades of grey and these pearly accessories.

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.

Monochrome florals

I like floral jewellery and this black daisy necklace goes with anything. My M&S 'pearl' set was a good contrast.

Simply stripes

A very pared down look today. Work is hard at the moment and I'm trying to do a couple of runs a week during my lunch hour. Heavily accessorising can slow down my changing time!

Guess who?

I don't know where these pink mirror earrings are from but I know the necklace was a present from New York over 15 years ago. It's made by Guess Jeans.

The ring is one of my absolute favourites - again from a French flea market - 3 for 10 euros.

Back to school

Kept it simple on Monday. The children loved my feather earrings and the plastic jewellery is good and tough when you're on outdoor play duty!

Cinematique

I bought a gorgeous skirt from Primark on Sunday and wore it for a cinema trip with my book club. We went to the adaption of Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson. Definitely worth reading and watching.

My belt is a hand-me-down from my mum and my coral New Look bangle and earring set made another appearance.

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.

Indian summer

It's hot again and so I dug out a charm bracelet with a seaside-feel. It matched beautifully with my French flea market ring and gold hoops...

Sparkle black

I love the colour black and sparkly things and this butterfly necklace is the perfect combination...

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...

Pearls of wisdom

Quite a low-key look for me, but Mondays are sooo hard...

Coralessence

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

Birthday best

It was a close friend's special birthday last week and on Saturday night we hit the heady heights of Rammy for a curry and a party into the wee small hours...
