Accessorize Sale Picks

If I'm honest I haven't really done very much sale shopping, particularly for someone who loves shopping as much as I do! December sort of bled me dry and I've got a few holidays planned for next year which I am trying to save for. But last weekend I just couldn't walk past the huge sale signs in the window of Accessorize. So I popped in and emerged about 20 minutes laters with some lovely picks that I thought I would share.

The first, and my favourite is this beautiful double chain necklace from the Z by Accessorize collection. I absolutely love how delicate and expensive this looks, especially as with 70% off it really wasn't.

I think this would look beautiful just with an undone white shirt for an effortless but expensive look.

The next thing that I got was a bit of a boring purchase but I always need these! I really like to style my hair half clipped up so these grips work perfectly for that as they can hold more hair than bobby pins. And for only £1 I couldn't really go wrong!

I also couldn't resist this delicate rose gold heart necklace as in the sale in came to £1.50. And this would perfectly complement the rose gold and pink Cluse watch that I bought for Christmas.

And finally...I bought chocker! I know what you are thinking, they're probably old news now. But I never really felt like they suited me or my style, particularly the thicker velvet ones. But this one is so simple and delicate that you can barely tell its there. I really like to layer it up with a few other gold necklaces for a slightly bohemian look.

So there you have it, a few little picks from the Accessorize sale. There are probably going to be a few more little hauls coming up here and there as I have got some lovely things recently that I really want to share with you!

Accessorize Summer Sale

Accessorize Summer Sale

How could I resist a sale in one of my favourite shops ever?! If you have been reading my blog for a little white then the fact that I love Accessorize will come as no surprise to you. All of my hats, most of my bags and about 90% of all my jewellery are all from the brand. My style is very much classic, simple fashion accessorised with pretty feminine details. 

One of the things that I found in the sale was this beautiful khaki hat. I love a good wide brim hat, especially when it starts to get colder to pull together an outfit and smarten up a look. I love this khahi colour for Autumn and actually think that it suits me quite well. This hat would look lovely paired with big woollen jumpers, navy duffel coats or black jackets. 

Another item I spotted was this beautiful white bead chain necklace. I am in love with delicate jewellery, which Accessorize does so well and have lots of little gold and silver pendant style necklaces. This one is so simple and understated but looks so pretty with this V shape neckline. 

These shoes have to be the best £9 that I have spent in a long time! They are so comfy, the first time I wore them was an 8 hour shift and I had no problems! I think they are so cute and simple so they go with basically everything that I own. If I have an outfit and I don't know what shoes to wear they these are the perfect option as they don't really draw much attention to your feet. I think the slip-on shoe style is so cool and these ones are awesome!

I saw these earrings on the website and thought they were really different and pretty. I love the blue shades and think these would be the perfect way to dress up a really simple white or blue blouse. 

The last thing that I got from Accessorize was this little turquoise triangle pendant. I wear a lot of white and I thought that this necklace would be a subtle way to add a little bit of colour for summer to my outfit. It looks so delicate a pretty and reminds me a little of garden bunting! 

Hope you like this post. I have been doing a little bit of sale shopping recently, especially from Mango so I can't wait to share with you all of the beautiful things that I got from there! Speak soon xx

Bohemian White

Bohemian White 

I wanted to share with you the outfit that I wore yesterday for a family barbecue. I have found that while in the winter with all the layers my style turns more preppy with lots of collars and cable kints, in the summer my style gets a bit more bohemian, lots of floaty white tops and pretty accessories. It's weird really as they are two very different styles but I love them both. 

The main aspect of this outfit are these beautiful feather earrings which I got ages ago in an Accessorize sale and only wore the for the first time yesterday! They are definitely a summer accessory but I think that they look so beautiful, especially with this feminine style of outfit. I don't know if feather earrings are really in this summer but I think that the subtle jewels and the pale pink shade make these more timeless and wearable that the brighter colour feathers that were around a few years ago. 

I also decided to practice curling my hair yesterday in these pretty beachy waves. To do these I use my Babyliss curling wand and I have found that it works best to take really small strands of hair and twist them around the curling wand and then drop them out after only about a second. This way you get more of a wave than a curl. I also just brush these out with my fingers a bit afterwards but not a hair brush. 

The top that I am wearing is another old sale purchase from Monsoon. It's not a shop that I usually go into as they aren't really aimed at my age range. But I do think that they have some beautiful tops, blouses and jumpers. This is a beautiful white floatly blouse that I sometime use in summer as a beach coverup. It's loose but still a flattering shape with skinny jeans and has a lovely appliqué detail around the buttons at the front. 

Top - Monsoon

Jeans - Uniglo
Earrings - Accessorize

Turtle bracelet - Accessorize

Bracelet - Pandora
Watch - Nixon

Here is a close up so you can see the detailing on the blouse. 

Hope everyone has a good Monday. I have work this afternoon plus several episodes of The Vampire Diaries that I need to catch up on! Speak soon xx

Perfect New Backpack

Perfect New Backpack

I remember being at school and having a handbag because backpacks were really uncool! But right now backpacks, are well, back! Except they aren't those huge chunky black things that have about a million pockets and weight a ton. They are super sleek little backpacks is beautiful colour and new fabrics. 

I had actually had my eye on this blue one from Accessorize for ages but didn't want to spend a loads of money all at once. Thankfully I have a job now as I have been doing quite a lot of shopping recently! Then I couldn't find this bag online and it was sold out in my local Accessorize so I started to panic as I knew that if I didn't get my hands on it soon I would regret it and wouldn't be able to find another backpack that I liked as much. So after work yesterday I went straight to the Accessorize there to pick up the bag which I had asked them to hold for me. And I think it is more beautiful than I remembered. 

I love this blue colour for summer right now, which you may have noticed if you had ready my last few hauls and outfit posts! But this is great as white would just get dirty really quickly and I didn't want something black for summer. 

The backpack is just a plain light blue colour with a really cool texture part on the front two pockets. It's also drawstring at the top with a flap over and it has long adjustable straps and a little handle at the top. So not only does it look lovely but it is also pretty practical. 

I think this will be a perfect alternative to a handbag for days out in summer, and will go with everything from shorts to a skirt to a dress. And I still be able to fit in all of the stuff that I like to carry around with me everywhere.

Current Favourite Jewellery

I thought that I would share with you today my current favourite jewellery pieces. I love to accessorise with jewellery and think that it is a great way to experiment and play around with an outfit. Especially if you are like me and don't like to experiment too much with fashion and tend to stay with what you know suits you. 

Above are a few of my favourite pieces. As you can see I tend to wear delicate jewellery with beautiful intricate details. A lot of these pieces re from Accessorize with exception for the Watch, the elephant necklace, the silver ring and the Pandora bracelet. Accessorize is one of my favourite shops of all time. They have so many beautiful pieces, not only jewellery but also bags and scarves etc. And I think that they are actually a really good price for the quality and how expensive they can look. 

One of my favourite and most recent pieces is thing stunning silver elephant necklace that I got from my brother for Christmas. Elephants are my favourite animal as I think that they are beautiful anyway so I am just in love with this necklace. I can't wait to wear it in summer on the beach with a floaty white top or dress. 

These white drop earrings are another favourite and I actually wore them to my first prom so I have some great memories with them as well. They are just white a gold so they go with a lot of different outfits but are great for dressing up a look. 

The little gold delicate flower necklace I picked up not too long ago when I realised I was starting to wear a lot more gold jewellery and wanted to have a delicate necklace that I could wear everyday. This on is just so beautiful and looks great with simple high neck tops. 

I have worn this pink and diamonte necklace so much. It's sort of a statement necklace but it's pretty and delicate so that it doesn't make too much of a statement if bold isn't really your style. I love wearing this with white or navy and white spotty or striped tops. 

These earrings are another item that I wear so much. I love the colour and think that being little studs they are small enough to go with nearly everything. And they just add a little extra detail and look super pretty with an updo. 

I wear my Pandora bracelet everyday always on my right wrist. It was my 17th birthday present from Jack after we had only been going out for a few months so it really means a lot to me. It used to be more purple but the colour has faded and one end is starting to fray. I know you can send it off to get it fixed but I'm worried that they will just send me back a brand new one and this one has sentimental value! Anyway, I like to think it is one of those items that will only get better with age. And I like to wear this without any charms as I think it looks simple and beautiful on it's own. 

My Rose Gold watch is another thing that I have worn everyday since I got it for my 18th birthday last year. I spent hours trying to find the perfect watch but in the end I fell in love with this one. I love the pink face and how simple and classic it is and the fact that it isn't really bling with loads of diamonds. 

I very rarely wear chunkier bracelets anymore as I mostly prefer delicate ones and friendship style bracelets. But this is one that I got years ago that I always go back to as it is really pretty. I love the colours, especially with that berry shade that comes back every winter. 

Finally you can'y really see it in the photo but I did do a whole blogpost on it with better pictures when I first bought it which you can find here. It's so unusual and beautiful and I wear it everyday cus just looking at it makes me happy and think of the lovely day that I had out in London with Jack when I bought this. I wear this on the opposite hand to my watch but yes, I do mix silver and gold!

A Few Sale Purchases

A Few Sale Purchases

This year (being a student now!) I haven't gone too crazy in the sales. But I did want to quickly share with you a few things that I have picked up as I love them all. 

The first place that I couldn't resist going to was my favourite shop Accessorize. They have a great sale and so many lovely things. I was very tempted by several handbags and clutches but in the end I chose a few pieces of jewellery. The first is this really dainty gold flower necklace which I justified with the fact that I have been wearing a lot more gold jewellery recently and I don't have an everyday gold pendent. I also picked up two quite summer pairs of earrings. The first are these super adorable elephant earrings and being my favourite animal I couldn't leave without them. The second are pale pink feather earrings which I have never been brave enough to wear before but these are just so pretty and I can't wait to style them.

I've been needing a pair of smarter black pumps for a long time now. All that I had before these were my old school shoes which have definitely seen better days. I feel in love with these ones from Office when I saw them. They had my size left and they fit perfectly. I love the little gold studs and I think that these look a lot more expensive that the £18 that they were!

Have you guys been sale shopping yet? I'd love to hear in the comments about any bargains that you found. xx
