My Most Worn Jewellery | Pandora, Swarovski and More!


I love wearing jewellery! I'm sure like many other girls do too. I own quite a lot of costume jewellery and a few more expensive pieces and I've found there have been around 5 or 6 pieces that I've been going back to on an everyday basis. I love looking at jewellery so I thought you also may like it if I shared with you a few of my favourite pieces to wear!

LETS IGNORE MY SAUSAGE FINGERS
 Here is my first piece of Pandora Jewellery that I ever owned, I believe this piece is quite popular as it is reasonably priced and personal. It's the Pandora Birthstone Ring, I have the Amethyst stone as I was born in February which is a beautiful pale purple stone. This looks really simple and pretty alone but as it's a stacking ring it can be paired or stacked with a few others.



I pair this ring with another popular choice from Pandora which is the Flower Band Ring. I loved this ring when I first saw it and knew it had to be mine, especially when I realised it was only £30- possibly the most affordable Pandora ring. This again is so simple but looks really nice worn everyday to complete a casual outfit.


On to necklaces! I love dainty necklaces for everyday wear, especially this silver wishbone from a seller on Instagram which I can't remember the name of unfortunately. I believe this was only £3 or £4 which is amazing considering the amount of wear I've had out of it. I usually team this with basic t-shirts and jeans to bring the look together.


I think these are called druzy necklaces, correct me if I'm wrong but both have pointed stone pendants. I love these as they can add a little colour to what otherwise would be a monochrome outfit. The clear blue crystal necklace was from another shop on Instagram called @craftedjewels a little while ago but they still sell very similar ones for such affordable prices! The dark green stone necklace was from San Francisco, brought back when my sister went on holiday there, though I'm sure you can find similar ones online or from Crafted Jewels.


And last but certainly not least is this Swarovski Micro Bolt Bracelet in Rose Gold. I used to hate mixed metals but recently I've been quite liking it as I don't want to miss an opportunity to wear this stunning dainty bracelet. I saw quite a few bloggers with this and I knew it would have to be mine one day so my sister kindly bought it for my 18th Birthday! I avoided wearing this while at college as I was in placement for half the week and I didn't want it to get caught on anything and broken, however I got lots of wear out of this during the summer and I'm also going to brave it and wear it to work. Let's hope it gets kept in good nick!

There you have it, a quick run through of my favourite pieces of jewellery. As I said, I love jewellery so I'm hoping in the not to distant future to invest in some more expensive jewellery that I shall hopefully wear and hold for life.

What is your most worn piece of jewellery? Or what is on your list list?

Let me know!

A few 'recent' purchases

Hello!
So it's currently Friday and I've just finished college for the year, so I thought what better way to spend my afternoon than blogging? I've titled this post 'recent' purchases as a few of these things aren't necessarily that recent, just a few things I've collected that i'd like to show you guys. Also apologies in advance for these photos as I couldn't take ones on hangers due to the lighting and awful quality. 





I'll start in order of purchasing as that's just how my mind likes to work. So first up is this(I think, or similar) lovely bright coloured top that I thought was perfect to inject a bit of colour into my mostly monochrome wardrobe. I purchased one similar from Boohoo but it wasn't the kind of 'bright' I was looking for, it was high-vis vest colour, no thank you! So instead I picked up this in New Look, it's slightly over-sized, sheer and airy! Perfect for the warmer months.



Next from New Look was this, not quite so 'injecting colour into my wardrobe' striped long sleeved top. Oops, slipped up a bit there! However I was going to purchase this basic anyway and then I saw it on the website for just £4 in the sale, so I definitely couldn't leave it! I'm really loving stripes at the moment, I definitely need more.


So I popped into Primark for a look and to be quite honest, I wasn't overly impressed. I find Primark is a bit hit and miss for me, but I did find something I thought- why not? It was this slightly sheer periwinkle or powder blue(I'm not sure which best describes it) vest. I'm not really one for vests but I needed some more lighter and coloured clothes for summer, or the few days that we have in Wales. This was again around £4 so I thought even if I wear it once, it's still good!


I hadn't been into H&M for a while and I saw people purchasing some really nice things from their so I had a quick browse. Now I love slouchy jumpers and this was described as loose knit, and I thought this would be good for those not so warmer summer days. It's in this lovely dusty pink shade, so I can get away with it right? I had been emailed a discount code so got this as a great bargain and is only £5 now!


Since I had a discount code my will power to save was lacking, so I checked out the jewelry. I'm usually one for statement necklaces but recently I just can't be bothered with the hassle to choose which to wear, so I wanted something plain and simple that I could wear on a daily basis. I found this necklace and it was described as sparkly, immediately I needed it! It was actually just what I was looking for, and was just £1.99 so I didn't even need the discount code, although I didn't give it a miss.


Last but not at all least, is a pair of shoes I purchased from Hidden Fashion, who I definitely recommend you check out as their clothing is such good value and high quality. I saw somebody talking about this site on Youtube and I had a nose and found the shoes I've been lusting after for a while. I haven't actually had the confidence to wear them out yet as they have a platformed heel and quite frankly we just haven't had the weather. I'm looking forward to pairing these with dresses and skirts on hotter days as in my opinion they'll go perfectly and look out in the not too distant future for a more in-depth post on these!

So I thought i'd wrap it up there. I haven't bought a huge amount as I said this is titled 'a few'. I'm hoping to next do a post including my recent beauty purchases so look out for that also! I hope you have a lovely weekend, until next time..
