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.

Father's Day Gift Ideas: Swarovski by Diamond Style at SecretSales

Father's Day is coming up on 16th June, so I have decided to do some posts on gift ideas on what to get that special man in your life, or in your children's life!  There are so many of these celebratory days, events and holidays that it is really worth looking on how best to maximise one's savings, but still get unique and fantastic presents.  Gifts for men can be tricky sometimes but I hope that over the next week or so I will be able to find some great quality and great value items that will be appreciated for years to come.

First up is some gorgeous Swarovski men's jewellery from SecretSales.  Cufflinks are a great gift as they can be used for dressing up either work shirts or going-out shirts - they can deliver an element of elegance, class and sophistication.  These black crystal ones add an element of sparkle - but are still manly!  They are simple and stylish and, being neutral, would suit any formal or work outfit.  They are £25 (normally £60).

If the man in your life isn't so into formal wear, how about this black and pearl pen set?  They come in a black case and are handy for any occasion.  They are great for the working man - just pop them in a work bag and look stylish and ready for action.  A good set of pens also gives an element of status when one brings them out at a meeting...!  These ones are high quality, durable and look fantastic - and would work for either gender, to be honest.  The set is half price at £35.

Remember that SecretSales offers only last a few days so one needs to be quick to snap up these deals!
