A little touch of Spring!

Above is my latest haul from Accessorize

Daisy chain necklace, £6

Flower hairgrips, £5

Silk style scarf, £12

If, like me, you are getting really fed up of the terrible winter weather we have continually been subjected to over the last couple of months then I'm sure you are ready for a springtime pick-me up! Can I suggest a trip to you're nearest Accessorize as a means of injecting some spring into you're step, sorry awful pun!!! I picked up these little treasures last week from the new collection at Accessorize and can not wait to wear them.

The Daisy necklace is so pretty and should see me through the summer as well as spring. It sits nicely on you're collar bone and would compliment a simple white T-shirt or pretty camisole. I also couldn't resist these cute flower hair grips. Not only do they echo this seasons love of all things pastel, they are also great to dress you're hair, mine has been in a permanent ponytail lately thanks to the odd gale and is in desperate need of some spring.

Finally is this really pretty coloured scarf, It's so fresh with a covering of flowers and butterflies that just scream SPRINGTIME! This will definitely go well with some of my pretty pastel coloured jumpers now and T-shirts when the weather has warmed up. I thought all these items were fairly reasonably priced giving you little excuse not to treat yourselves, you know you want to!!!

I hope this little post has provided a little ray of much needed sunshine and it's always good to remember the words from that old Love Unlimited track "It may be Winter outside, but in my heart it's Spring"

How are you planning to inject some spring into you're winter wardrobe?

Christmas Wish List - I've been a very good girl!!!

Lulu Guinness Leopard Izzy Satchel from the Wild Cat Collection

 

Most definitely top of my Christmas wish list is this lovely little treasure from the Lulu Guinness Wild Cat Collection. I have several bigger tote style bags that are useful for everyday but sometimes you need something a little more 'subtle' when going out in the evening.

 

Two of my favourite evening clutches are both Lulu Guinness, including a classic Lips Clutch, however, they are only capable of holding a phone and a lipstick at most. I know, what else does a girl need when being treated to an evening out with her man? My problem is that I invariably also need my glasses these days, particularly when trying to read a menu. It's a little embarrassing when I have to get someone to read it for me, don't laugh, it will happen to you too one day!

 

Pandora silver present charm

 

Next on my list would be a lovely Pandora charm. My kids and their partners all clubbed together and bought me a lovely Pandora leather bracelet and first charm for my 50th last year and in doing so created an avid collector! There are so many pretty charms to chose from and one to suit just about any occasion, even Christmas!

 

Christmas reindeer socks from Accessorize

 

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a pair of festive socks, as always Accessorize have come up trumps with this cute pair. There are several different designs to chose from and at 3 pairs for £8 you could get a pair for yourself too. Accessorize is always a good place to go for a Christmas gift, there is so much to chose from suiting all sorts of budgets.

 

Although I love girly gifts I would also love a couple of 3DS games for my console. This year I have my eyes firmly set on Zelda, A Link Between Worlds and Lego Marvel Super Hero's, sometimes it's good to be a kid again.

 

Thornton's Chocolate Reindeer

 

My Christmas list wouldn't be complete without my favourite Christmas chocolate. These reindeer's from Thornton's are great value at the moment at 3 for 2, handy if, like me, you have three kids to buy for!

 

Presents aside, the best gift I could receive this Christmas is to have all my family at home for dinner. They are all grown up now, some living away from home with partners so it becomes increasingly difficult to all get together and celebrate.

 

 I look forward to a warm Christmas evening, fire and Christmas candles lit, Christmas music playing (not sure everyone enjoys that as much as me!) and the silly family games out, the perfect end to a perfect day!

 

How will you be celebrating this year?

All that glitters - Making a Statement!

 Rainbow Jewel Statement necklace, Accessorize, £29 (limited edition)

It's really pretty!

Padded lined backing means no snagging.

Worn with Topshop fluffy crop jumper in Mint.

This will go with soooo many things!!!

 

I've been looking for ages for a statement collar style necklace with little success, that is, until I found this not so little number from Accessorize. I love all the different coloured stones incorporated into the design, making it a very versatile piece that can be worn with so many different items in my wardrobe. The adjustable length means it would suit most styles, bringing a bit of bling to what would otherwise be a plain outfit, just adding a touch of style.

 

I think this necklace would look gorgeous with a simple black evening dress or top giving it that extra something. It looks equally as good worn with a jumper during the day, as seen above.

 

Although this item is a little pricey compared to some necklaces I've seen, the fact that it is so versatile and a limited edition makes it worth the extra expense, you only need this one piece.

 

This is the perfect accessory to brighten up your winter collection and is in keeping with this seasons love of statement jewellery.

 

What is you're favourite statement piece this Autumn?

Always remember to treat yourself!!!!

Accessorize winter warmers!
 

Never underestimate how much even the smallest treat can cheer you up, especially as it appears our wonderful summer has officially ended and the dark nights are drawing in.

 

One of my favourite 'go to' shops when I'm in need of a quick pick-me-up is Accessorize, I'm always guaranteed to find something to brighten my shopping trip. Usually, I'm tempted by their wonderful collections of jewellery and hair accessories, a must have to enhance any mood or outfit, but this time of year it's more likely that I will be drawn towards 'winter warmers' such as socks, tights, woolly hats and scarfs.

 

They're socks are a particularly good find at the moment as you can buy three pairs for £8, a real bargin! My only problem with this is deciding on which three pairs as there are so may wonderful designs to chose from, including subtle fairisles and fun animal characters. I have a feeling I will be having a sort out of my sock draw and be popping in again very soon!

 

What treats will you be buying this season?
