Blue Sapphire Dragonfly Pendant from Libby J London

Libby J. London creates high quality, hand-finished jewellery in sterling silver. Their designs are unique and vintage-inspired, featuring bright and bold coloured gemstones. Price-wise, everything is under £100 to enable almost everyone to have a little luxury! It's only been around since November, so it really is a brand new venture.

There is a great selection of unique, gorgeous, quality jewellery on the site, including rings, earrings and necklaces and my favourite piece is this yellow gold dragonfly pendant set with a gorgeous sapphire.  The colour will flatter many skin tones and the blue of the sapphire gives it a hint of sparkle and elegance. And the dragonfly is always a great shape or pattern - so pretty!

Customers can currently take advantage of 20% discount on the site until the end of March as well as free postage and packaging as standard. The code is LJ2014. So this pendant, which is usually £45 is £36 with the discount.

Awesome Accessories: Enchanted Cat Jewellery from Betsey Johnson

I adore the designer Betsey Johnson.  Feminine and fun, I love her eccentric and edgy fashion.  She's brought out a fabulous range of jewellery called 'Enchanted Cat' and I love it all - and at the moment, there's a discount code available to snap it up!

First up are these stud earrings for $25 (about £15).  I think these are adorable and could be worn all day, every day.
Then there's this cuff for $45 (about £28).  I'd wear this to create a more urban looking daytime outfit, with jeans and black boots - indeed, I'd rock that biker chick look, with a twist!
And this half-moon necklace is a statement and a half!  It's $95 (about £60) but... wow!  This would look amazing embellishing any outfit.
Finally, there's these dangly crystal earrings, which are a little more subtle but still very sweet.  They are $25.
For a limited time, there's 30% off with the code KNOCKOUT (and free shipping if you're in the US) but at other times, customers can sign up for the newsletter for 10% off first orders.

Awesome Accessories: Limited Edition Coral Perspex Necklace from Miss Selfridge

I've said it before and I'll say it again - you can't beat a fabulous statement necklace to brighten up and add glamour any outfit and this limited edition coral necklace from Miss Selfridge is simply perfect.  I've been coveting it for several months now, but the original price tag of £50 was far too hefty - which is why it's great it's been reduced to just £20 in the sale!  I think it would look great to embellish a simple white top during the day but equally, would look fabulous when dressed with evening wear for a night out.

Awesome Accessories: Johnny Loves Rosie Statement Floral Drop Necklace from Spoiled Brat

One of my favourite accessories of the season is the statement necklace.  It can transform an outfit with very little effort or spend - so definitely a savvy way to modernise and vitalise any outfit.

There are loads of brilliant necklaces at Spoiled Brat and my favourite are from the Johnny Loves Rosie range.  This floral drop necklace is lovely.  The colour combination is really interesting and would really brighten up an outfit when paired with a neutral top.  The floral design has a unique retro hint of late sixties/early seventies.  It would work well for both every day casual wear and dressed up for evening.  Simply brilliant!
It's £35, but new customers can get 20% off first orders with the code TAKE20.

Awesome Accessories: Black, White and Gold Statement Necklace from Fashion World

A statement necklace is a great way to turn a simple top into something elegant and fancy.  There is a multitude out there, so many opportunities to create new looks with clothing that is already in one's wardrobe.

I've found there are loads of really interesting, glamorous and good value ones on the Fashion World site.  My favourite is this black, white and gold one which is chic but should go with almost anything.  Pair with a single colour, crew neck top and denim skirt to embellish a daytime look, or with a shift dress and heels for the evening.

There's 10% off first orders at Fashion World with code CQHC5 until the end of the year, so this necklace is only £19.80 when this is used.

The Look for Less: House of Fraser Sale

The House of Fraser sale is still on, with lots of lovely bargains on gorgeous designer fashion and accessories. I have put together an outfit inspired by a number of things and, just for fun, can you guess how I've been influenced to create this look?  I've based it on my favourite following factors:
    • A city
    • An era
    • A television show
    • A person
House of Fraser Sale
I love this look as it is classic, feminine and elegant.  The dress is voluptuous and will flatter the figure and highlight a woman's best bits, with the draped fabric concealing any bumps.  The person who I've based the look on is bold and sassy, and I think this look epitomises that.  This look would certainly work in the office for a brave woman, and then take her nicely into the evening for cocktail hour!

All items are on sale as shown below.

Awesome Accessories: Jewellery from Oasis

I haven't done jewellery for a while, so I've been looking at the items that are available in the Oasis clothing summer sale which started today.  There are some really beautiful bargains on offer, so I have picked a few to consider for this post!  It's been hard to pick just a few as well as there is so much gorgeousness, so it's definitely well worth a look at the sale.

The first is this gorgeous butterfly collar necklace which is half price at just £9.  It would look lovely with a simple, cream lace dress (such as the one I blogged about earlier in the month) or a summery, silk vest top and trousers.  In fact, I think it could decorate any simple, neutral outfit to create a pretty ensemble with minimal effort.
Next, I'm impressed with this ultramodern mini square Smartie bracelet pack which is just £5.  The colours are on trend for the season and I love the simplicity of it.  Again, it will brighten up a plain outfit - for the day, a white top, shorts and sandals with these bracelets would look great and in the evening, a chic, black dress would work well.

It's hard to pick which of the earrings in the sale are my favourite, but I think it's these Festival feather drop earrings.  The colours are delicate and summery, as is the feather and small stone style.  These will add a chic, bohemian element to any outfit but I think they're probably more suited to the day.  They are also just £5.
Finally, I've picked out a lovely ring to complete the collection.  This large vintage crystal statement ring will add instant bling to any outfit, but I think this is more of an evening accessory!  Wear with a fitted cocktail dress or sharp suit for fab, flashy style.  It's also half price, at £8.
In addition to the beautiful jewellery on offer in the sale, there are fabulous clothes, bags, shoes and other accessories available.  Much of it will be great for summer, but there is also a lot of items that could see one through autumn and winter, so it's definitely worth checking before things start selling out.

Awesome Accessories: Stones and Dragonflies Necklace from Goddiva

Goddiva is an online fashion store specialising in current and celebrity style trends but at great prices.  At the moment, they have some really interesting and unique pieces of jewellery.  I've selected this chunky silver and black dragonfly and stone necklace.  It would embellish beautifully a fairly plain top, maybe a simple silk t-shirt or dress, and any colour would work.  The necklace is great value at just £10, but by signing up to the newsletter, customers can get 15% off their first order.

Folli Follie sells jewellery, watches, bags and accessories with a philosophy of fun, versatile, and affordable luxury.  It has some really interesting and unique, great quality, classic pieces that should last for years to come.

I adore this floral multi-chained sterling silver plated necklace that my daughter has chosen to highlight!  Embellished with white enamel flower motifs, it is perfect for the transition into Spring and will enhance and complement any outfit.  My daughter likes it because it is pretty and sparkly, and she's right!  It's £190 normally, but Folli Follie have collaborated with Company Magazine for a 20% discount - this takes it down to £152.  To claim the 20% off, use the code STYLE20 before 26th May.

The Look for Less: Summer Wedding Chic

Finally, the weather is improving and my thoughts are turning towards summer parties and weddings. I've been inspired by the lace dress from Planet that I spotted the other day to create an outfit on Polyvore that would be gorgeous for such occasions.  I believe the lilac accessories I have chosen compliment the delicateness of the lace but still add an elegant pop of colour.

The Look for Less: Savvy Office Chic

I've just discovered a site called Polyvore where I can find clothes, shoes and accessories online and put them together in a collage, to see how they work together.  Here is my first attempt:



As you would expect, it is a combination of sale and discounted items, so you can get the whole look for less.  In this collage I have included:

I'm thinking that for the future, I can focus on specific gorgeous pieces as I have been, but every now and again do some outfits this way to give an idea to update one's wardrobe!  So I suppose my question is, is this the sort of thing that you would like to see?  Would it give you inspiration and ideas - as I hope!

Awesome Accessories: Aqua Cuff and Necklace from Ollie & Nic

Ollie & Nic sell quirky and unique bags, jewellery and accessories and their 50% off sale has just launched.  There are lots of gorgeous items in the sale, and I've been hard pressed to pick just one - so I have chosen two complementing items that I adore, which are classic, refined and versatile.

The first is this aqua elastic plated cuff, which is just £12.50.

And then there is the matching large circles plated necklace necklace, again in aqua, at just £15.
Both items are available in a tangy burnt orange colour, which is also pretty stunning.  Definitely worth a little look at this fresh, new sale!
