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.

Terrific Top: Daisy Fest Lennon Sweater from Wildfox Couture

The weather may be cooling, but there's always a place for a pretty, floral top.  Of all people, I spotted Paris Hilton wearing this gorgeous daisy print top which is available from Wildfox Couture, an American vintage-inspired women’s clothing brand which combines great style and unsurpassed quality. Semi-sheer and soft, it will look perfectly pretty teamed with jeans for a gorgeous, everyday look.  Or dress it up with a maxi skirt and heels, like in the picture.  Just add a simple strappy vest top underneath - unless one is super-brave!
Until 25th December, customers can get 10% off first orders by subscribing to the Wildfox newsletter, reducing this top to £229.50.  Delivery is free.

Costella adele Miami Handbag from Bottica

I suspect this is more of a clutch than a handbag, but how fabulous is this adele Miami bag by Costella?  The neon colours are amazing, and it will look great with almost any outfit, day or night.  It's superior quality, being handmade in Los Angeles from lambskin with a waterproof lining.  It's also limited edition - there's only three left!  Totally an investment piece at £104 - although you could make an offer.  It's available from online site Bottica, and new customers can sign up to get £30 off their first order, so even better!  Gorgeous.

Beautiful Bag: Jayne Colour Block Clutch Bag from Boohoo.com

One can never have too many bags and there's a great selection at great prices on the Boohoo.com website.

I really like these Jayne colour block clutch bags.  They are a good size for a clutch, being large enough to carry all of one's essentials, but without being too massive.  They come in a fab range of colours - I really love the bright yellow pictured below, but there's also pink, black and white.  The bright ones will look great with a neutral or black outfit for that burst of colour and the monochrome ones will look sophisticated with any outfit.  Just £16 normally, customers can get an extra 10% off at Boohoo.com till tomorrow with the code 10UK.

Splendid Skirt: McGregor Skirt from Fever London

Apologies for the gap in posting - it's been one of those weeks!  But I'm back, checking out the ongoing sales and today I've been perusing the Fever London sale.

This Fever McGregor skirt in a citrus fruit pattern is cheerful and summery. The a-line cut with the belted waist will flatter most shapes and the flared skirt will ensure one is kept cool during hotter days.  Wear with a bright, citrus coloured top and sandals for a chic, effortless daytime look.

The skirt is available in sizes 6 to 18 and has been reduced from £59.99 to £29.99.  In a mainly cotton material with a hint of elastane for a perfect belted fit, this is a great, quality bargain to see one through the summer months.

Fantastic Footwear: Senso Xavier Heeled Sandals at Allsole

I've been focusing on sensible shoes lately, so it's time for some less practical but gorgeous shoes!  Another sale I have been browsing is the Allsole shoes one, who've got some great brands on offer at fantastic prices.  I am taken with these Senso Xavier heeled sandals in neon yellow.  The whole package is bright, edgy and daring, from the fluorescent neon yellow colour, the leather and perspex material combination and the killer stiletto heel.

These could be worn for an evening out and I'd team with fairly neutral, darker colours and let the sandals do the talking.  I'm thinking a black pencil dress would look stunning and elegant - and maybe add a necklace and fab handbag.  The heel height isn't too massive and the ankle strap means that they should stay on the foot well, so they aren't completely impractical nor should be impossible to walk on!  And they will look sensational.

Originally £110, they are now £85 and still available in sizes 4, 5 and 6.  There's also free gel comfort pads with these by entering the code GELHEEL at the checkout.
Do you love these?  Do you hate them?  Let me know in the comments below!

Terrific Top: Lemon Spotted Sleeveless Blouse from Dorothy Perkins

Sleeveless blouses are great for the warmer months.  They can be worn casually with shorts and flat sandals or dressed up so one is smart but cool in the office.  A simple, cotton white one is a wardrobe staple but other colours and patterns are always a good thing!

Yellow is the perfect colour to celebrate the sun finally making an appearance and this lemon, spotted sleeveless blouse from Dorothy Perkins is delightful and summery.  There's currently up to 30% off selected items at Dorothy Perkins, so it can be bought for £18.20 (usually £26) - but hurry as the offer ends at midnight tonight!  The blouse comes in sizes 6 to 22.

Awesome Accessories: Brass Victoire Cuff from Boticca

Boticca is the online boutique for unique jewellery and fashion accessories by top emerging designers.  It has an amazing range of bespoke, quirky and exquisite, high quality pieces from around the world.

I have fallen in love with this yellow brass v-shaped Victoire cuff by designers Adin and Royale, who are based in Tel Aviv.  It is totally ancient Roman in style - the description on the page says gladiator, but it reminds me of something a  powerful Domina would have worn!  Or possibly Wonder Woman.  Either way, it embodies a strong yet feminine look.  There's only a couple available, and it's £216, but new customers can sign up to get £30 off first orders, plus if you invite friends you can get money off future purchases at Boticca.

Fantastic Footwear: Deena & Ozzy Ellie Flatform Sandals from Urban Outfitters

So, if you cross a flat with a wedge, what do you get?  You get a flatform!  Originally seen in the 90's (think Spice Girls), they have returned this season.  They are perfect for those individuals who are after a bit of height but would prefer to avoid heels!

I really like these Deena and Ozzy Ellie flatform sandals in neon yellow and tan, which are available at Urban Outfitters. They aren't too high so will be easy to walk in and the pop of yellow embraces the neon trend too.  The ankle strap means they will fit well on the foot and be practical and comfortable to wear.  These sandals are very casual, so I'd wear them with denim cut-offs or a fun, flippy summer skirt.

Until 22nd May, the discount code TOP20 can be used with these sandals, so instead of being £28, they are just £22.40.  In addition, from today, Urban Outfitters are charging just £1 for standard delivery with no minimum spend so definitely a bargain!

Splendid Skirt: Ainara Lace Crochet Skirt by Malene Birger from my-wardrobe.com

The sun has brought clothing palettes out in a yellow fever apparently!  Yellow is a great way to update and brighten one's wardrobe for Spring and Summer, so incorporate accents of lemon, ochre and gold but avoid wearing head to toe yellow. Choose one bold piece to make a statement and complement the look with perfectly sun kissed - but safe - skin.

I am loving this crochet layer midi-length pencil skirt from By Malene Birger, available at my-wardrobe.com.  As ever, a pencil skirt is versatile and feminine and this one will work really well with a crisp blouse or masculine shirt and blazer for a chic workwear look.  It's £199 but new customers can get £50 off purchases of £180 or more by entering the code MYNEWTREAT50 at the checkout until 26th May.

Great Jeans: Slim-Fit 5-Pocket Style Stretch Cotton Jeans from La Redoute

Neon's been a fashion trend for a while and it looks like it will continue into Spring/Summer 2013.  I'm having a bit of a neon moment and have been after all sorts of neon clothes and accessories for the blog. I suspect that I'm a little eager for some summer sun and the vibrant shade makes me feel vitalised and energetic, ready for some warmth and joy.

Found first are these skinny jeans from La Redoute.  They are available in subtle neon colours - aqua blue, yellow or pink, so it's easy to embrace the trend without going overboard - unless you want to!  Team with a neutral top and some wedges and look classy but casual.  Or be brave and go totally 80's with some florescent accessories and/or a clashing neon top whilst you dig out that Cyndi Lauper LP.  

Cotton with a touch of elastane, the jeans should fit really well.  They come in sizes 6 - 18 - not all sizes are available in all colours, but it's not too bad.  Usually £55, they are on sale with 30% off at £38.50.

There's a couple of discount voucher codes for La Redoute currently, but because these jeans are already discounted, the codes don't work in addition.  However, if you're a new customer, code 4708 should get free delivery at the least.

So this is the first of a few potential neon posts..... look out for some savvy brightness!
