Perfect Pieces To Finish Off An Outfit

Often I find that the right shoes and accessories can help to finish off an outfit perfectly and recently I’ve had a few new additions that I’m absolutely loving…

I’d been on the hunt for a pair of mules for quite some time but finding the perfect ones was actually a harder task than I had anticipated. I’d tried so many on that just weren’t right and I really wanted to be 100% happy with the ones that I eventually went for. In the end Clarks saved the day as they kindly let me pick out a pair of shoes and whilst browsing through their new collection of women’s sandals I spotted this fabulous snake print pair.

Although this is the first appearance of these shoes on my blog, I’ve actually been getting so much wear out of them. They are my comfiest pair of heels by far and not once have they made my feet sore or felt uncomfortable to walk in, which I’m sure you’ll know is a rarity with heels.

Something else I’ve been loving is my new jewellery. I’m usually a gold person and for quite a while I’d only really been wearing one set of earrings, which I’d pretty much lived in. I’d been wanting some simple rings that I could wear everyday too and when I was asked if I’d like to pick out some of the silver pieces from Velvet Head, after browsing the collection I instantly feel in love. I went for two quite simple rings that I could wear together or on different fingers and one slightly more statement ring that has a synthetic white opal. I love how pretty the three rings look together and it’s nice to have rings that I can’t wear all the time without having to worry about them discolouring my fingers like a lot of dress jewellery does.

Of course once I had silver rings, I needed silver earrings too. A friend from Copenhagen had recently introduced me to the jewellery designer Pernille Corydon, after I had fallen in love with a pair of earrings I’d seen her wearing…I love the simplicity yet uniqueness of these open coin earrings. I’ve been wearing them everyday and I love them.

Primark Mini Jewellery Haul

I recently popped into Primark to pick up some jewellery and to generally have a browse. I often find myself heading to Primark for accessories like belts and jewellery and things, as they are always so affordable there, that I find I always get a lot for my money and this time was no exception.

Although I have loads of necklaces, I currently have a thing for really delicate pieces, so I’ve been slowly adding some like this to my collection. I spotted the dainty initial necklaces and thought that they were so cute and they were only £1.50 each.

I decided to get the matching initial earrings set too. Although I already had some similar ‘S’ earrings, for the price of just £1.50 for a three pack, it was worth paying just to get the other two that I didn’t have.

I knew I wanted to pick up some rings, as rings are something I’m seriously lacking in my jewellery collection. I was in luck when I spotted this super cute set of eight for just £2.50. The quirky yet feminine designs immediately caught my eye and I absolutely love them. There were a number of other designs available too but these were my favourite.

My final purchase was this gold cheetah head (I think it’s a cheetah) keyring. Okay, so this one isn’t technically jewellery but it was in the jewellery section and it was cute and I needed a new keyring, so I bought it (it was £1). I’m waiting until our new door gets fitted and once I have my new house keys I’ll be using this.

In total I spent £6.50 on all of these items. It wasn’t the biggest jewellery haul ever but for what I spent I certainly think I got a lot for my money and I love these cute little pieces.

What do you think? Have you purchased any jewellery from Primark recently?

Primark Jewellery Haul

Where can you say you bought, three necklaces, eight bracelets and nine pairs of stud earrings for £7? Primark, that’s where!

From recent blog posts you may have noticed I’ve had a growing fondness for Primark lately. No longer just the store where you can buy ‘cheap stuff’ but actually a place where you can buy on trend pieces and a real high street contender for the most affordable fashion pieces and now a great place to buy your fashion and statement jewellery too.

I’ve been buying fashion jewellery from Primark for years now but recently I’ve seen it massively up its game. I only own a few ‘real’ jewellery items and the rest of the time I like to change my accessories as often as I change my outfits. I often find this can be a pricey affair but luckily not when shopping at Primark and here are some of the sets I purchased on my recent jewellery shop at Primark.

I thought these bracelets were really cute and at only £2 for a pack of eight, the price was more than alight too. I like how you can alternate and layer these bracelets to make your own unique combo.

…The same goes for these necklaces too. You can wear them separate, or all together and at only £3 a set, I think that they are an absolute bargain.

The stud earrings were £2 a pack and for nine pairs, I think that’s rather great value. I love the pretty designs and think that they are perfect for everyday wear.
