All about Jewellery: Naturally (Part 1)

There are some things in my life that practically make up me... From skinny jeans, to leather bags and, of course, jewellery. It is my strong belief that no outfit, glamorous or casual, is complete without a touch of sparkle. I think it is fair to say, that jewellery creates personality and atmosphere.

*Du temps d'antan*
I'll be honest with you - I'm not sure when jewellery dates back to but I think we can certainly say it has been around longer than a few decades. Nonetheless, there are so many styles of jewellery and so many different ways of wearing it that I think it is time I dedicated one of my entries to the beautiful world of jewellery.

Many of you will know what I'm talking about when I say that I often 'stumble' across accessories. There is one shop in particular, that I only found a couple of hours ago in the wonderful fashion bible - Elle Magazine.

'Paris in a Bottle' is a small business created by a French girl, Marie, who inadvertedly found herself living in England. I adore her handmade jewellery because each design is unique and carries with it a little slice of the famous city. My favourite pieces include the *Du temps d'antan* [from the past] necklace for (ahh) only £5 (Above, right photo) and the *Audrey* bracelet for £6 (Left photo).

For no clear reason, I recently found myself looking at the Lily Belle online jewellery shop and I came across the most adorable "Mummy and Me" necklace. I didn't even realise such things existed but apparently the "identical sterling silver designs, one smaller for your little girl, ensure she really can be ‘just like mummy’." So cute.

Hummingbird Necklace
Not too long ago, my issue of Elle, featured an advert for a lovely gold necklace on kjs laundry. However, when I looked at the website a few days ago I came across Alex Monroe's nature inspired gold Hummingbird Necklace. The design is to die for and I love the detail on the pendant.

Perhaps you find jewellery just as spectacular as me, or maybe you just like experimenting with it... either way, don't forget to have fun!
