Native Queen


Since I don’t know whether there is such a thing as a female equivalent for a Native American chief, I’m just going to assume that this is what she should wear. This brings me to today’s post the, feather and crystal headpiece created by Karen Andreasson.


Karen is a British jewellery designer who makes most of her pieces for brides to be on their wedding day, though you certainly don’t have to be planning a wedding to get a piece of the action.This headpiece caught my eye immediately if it wasn’t the crystals; it had to be the feathers influencing some kind of modern Pocahontas behaviour.

You might not have been prom queen, why not join the pack and be a native queen?

Whips, Chains and Cuffs


So I may not be into leather whips and chains, but its quite possible Chanel could change my mind, set your eyes upon the gold and leather clover Chanel choker. While most vintage costume jewellery is spectacular, a Chanel piece is on a whole different level, there’s something about those dangling double cc’s that gets all us excited. Chanel pieces are few and far between, instant classics and always a collectable and the choker is no exception. Developing a fetish? Do it in the act of Chanel.

Put A Ring On it


Every girl dreams for a certain ring, to land on a certain finger, from their significant other. Until that day comes why not, decorate your fingers with treasures that can be significant to your jewellery box. Something about turquoise seems to make me go weak at the knees and even more so when it’s surrounded by gold.

If you also suffer from this symptom, I suggest you take a glance at the Arik Kastan 14k rose gold milky aquamarine ring. A perfect statement ring adorned with turquoise, set in luxurious rose gold, gives it a great vintage feel. It may not be the ‘the’ ring but it’s a fabulous distraction.

Creature From The Deep


Lay your eyes on this sparkling creation of wrist wear by Valentino. This unique gold toned bracelet is actually brass adorned with blingtastic Swarovski crystals. Taking inspiration from the waters of the deep, the coral shaped cuff looks like it might just come to life and grow its wiry, spiral gold stems up your arm (well a girl can dream).


A beautiful Valentino masterpiece that will, sit like a crown on your wrist and in your jewellery box.

Meet Me In The Middle


It’s to be said that accessories are like toys for grown ups, if this is true then a belt is my favourite toy in the box. Belts can change an entire outfit, change the way you look at your body in the mirror and they can also damage an outfit. Time and time again you will hear me waddle on about belts, add it to this, wrap it around that and really it always works.
Hence the Temperly London lion glazed leather belt a hard hitting extra for any ensemble. Perfect for clinching your waist in on luxurious dress, adding a soft spot to a boyfriend jacket or just a hip alternative over a tank.

Perfect for any occasion and who doesn’t want their middle looking just a little bit smaller?

A Chained Melody


If the Lanvin happy snakeskin chained shoulder bag doesn’t get you singing then I don’t know what will. Once in a while a bag comes around that is so luxurious and perfect that it can be extremely difficult not to stare and that is just the case with this scaled snake beauty of an accessory.

As well as the fabulous print the bag’s taupe and gold tone colours will add just a little extra something to your daily outfits, like softening up your work attire or breaking up a sea of black. Oh and for cult Lanvin collectors the bag is sealed with the timeless Lanvin crest.
Definitely singing in the right tune.

Death By Talons




Jewelry should definitely make a statement and what better way to give attitude then with Pamela Love. The silver plated dagger rosary necklace is out of control. The dagger just adds the right amount of bad ass to the girly twists of rosary around ones neck.
Best to last the, Talon cuff. Talons featured heavily in Pamela's collection a design so simple yet so unique. Layer the cuff with more loose bohemian wrist wear by day or rock solo with a cocktail dress by dark.
