    Wild Thing | Animal Jewlery

     I’ve been noticing a trend in my jewellery lately…

    Yes, the trend for animals as jewellery pieces has certainly caught up on me. Mine are all from the feathered variety at the moment but I’m determined to add to my ever-growing collection with a few mammals and maybe a few insects.  You have to admit whether from land, sea or sky these pieces of jewellery look wonderfully quirky and liven up any normal outfit.

    Below, I’ve picked out some of my favourite pieces I’ve seen online, both from high end and high street retailers.

  • Wishlist Item | Erickson Beamon crystal necklace

    ERICKSON BEAMON

    Neon Lucite and Swarovski-crystal necklace

    £735 from Net-a-Porter
    Not gonna lie, I’ve been a bit M.I.A with blogging lately. Had a little too much going on IRL and a stupid cold crept up on me this week, but I’m back on track with a new wishlist item.
    When you think of Swarovski crystals you’d normally think of bejewelled silver necklaces or earrings, with stunning diamonds or maybe subtle jewels with a hefty price tag. Well, not this necklace. Yes the hefty price tag is still there but this amazing Erickson Beamon statement necklace is the polar opposite of your run-of-the-mill crystal necklace.  First off the dark metal and black crystals, definitely screaming edgy. Then multicoloured neon gemstones! Neon! This could definitely be rocked with a daytime or night outfit.

  • Wishlist Item | Ponchos

     
    Poncho [in Burgundy]
    £24.99 from H&M
     
    Summer seems to have disappeared here in the UK. But why mope when this means I can lust over comfy knits all bursting out of the high street this Autumn and an unlikely trend I’m adding to my wishlist is the poncho. Now before you scoff, how boho chic does the one above from H&M look? Back from fashion Siberia, ponchos are making a major comeback! And after receiving my H&M catalogue this week I’m definitely adding this to my ‘to buy’ list. It comes in 3 different colours (the other two are below); but I love the Autumnal tones of the one above. I can imagine it being like wearing a giant blanket; which sounds brilliant to me :D
