Fashion // Budget Jewellery picks*

Lately I've been trying to get rid of all of the clothes I've acquired over the years that I don't wear anymore (I'm looking at you circle belt from 2005!), in the hopes of trying to create a more classic neutral wardrobe that's easy to style.I'm not the sort of person that has the patience to faff around with a complicated look,but I enjoy adding extra touches to make my outfit feel a bit special.I'm always looking for new accessories to add my collection because they're a cheap way of updating my outfit,and there's something about a beautiful piece of jewellery that brings a smile to my face! I was lucky enough to receive these items from Black & White boutique to review and I'm really excited to share them with you.








I always struggle with bracelets and watches because of my child sized hands (I lose out when sharing popcorn!) but this beautiful watch is so comfortable and can be adjusted to fit perfectly.There are so many designs to choose,from anchors to aztec prints and they're all under £20,which considering the price of some watches is very reasonable.This one caught my eye because it reminds me of candy canes,I love the subtle pastel design, and I think it will become a much loved piece! It's from their elegance range and it's currently on sale for £14.99.











These stackable bracelets have a really lovely boho feel to them,they'd be a perfect accessory for a flowing summer skirt and beachy hair.They're really easy to wear, and I love that you can layer them up and restyle them depending on your outfit.I've bought similar bracelets like this off Ebay,and although they were cheap,they felt very flimsy and like they could break in any second! These are really sturdy with easy to use clasps,and they feel really well made.I love the vivid purple colour and the little charms are so cute.We've got an anchor,an owl and and an infinity symbol,all of which seem like very popular prints this Summer (especially infinity symbols, which seemed to come out of nowhere!) This one is part of their Integrity range and is £12.99



I'm always looking for companies that sell affordable products,but with that it does make me think about their morals and ethics.Luckily,Black and White Boutique are making every effort to ensure that their products are ethical and support the Fair Trade industry.I love the names of their pieces too,"equality","elegance" and "integrity" to name but a few,I feel like every aspect of their creations was given a lot of thought.I was blown away by the shipping prices, delivery to the UK is only £1.50 and outside of Europe it's £3.65,so if you're like me and are always adding things to the basket only to delete when you realise shipping is £5+ then I'd head over to their site and see if there's anything that takes your fancy!

Jewellery picks // Necklaces

I'm all about necklaces at they moment! Throw them on and can really help make an outfit look more put together.I don't buy expensive jewellery because I like to change them often,but these are my top picks!

I have been wearing my Nebula necklace since it came to me,it is absolutely gorgeous. Etsy is a great place to buy things that are unique,and you know lots of effort has gone into making them.I'm obsessed with space,so this pretty nebula design is perfect for me.The detailing around the edge really sets it off too,and the chain feels sturdy.It's everything I could want from a necklace,and it was only £2.94 which I thought was fantastic value.

I've had this Topshop necklace for a while now,and I still love it as much as when I first bought it.I'm not sure if it's really Amethyst,but I love the rich,deep colour and the meaning of the stone.Apparently,it is used as a dream stone,and the Ancient Egyptians used them as protection against fear! It's really easy to style,and adds a lovely pop of colour. I don't think they're selling this particular necklace at the moment,but I know they have lots of similar ones like it.It was around £6 or £7 too,which I thought was reasonable for such a high quality necklace.

Continuing with the Space theme,isn't this little moon necklace so cute? I was after something to add a little bit of sparkle,but not be too in your face.I was browsing the January sales online,and came across this great site,Lisa Angel.It's full of cute gifts and pieces of jewellery,and this really stood out to me.The chain is quite long,so it's great to wear with casual clothes,for a beachy hipster kind of look.

I've only got into jewellery recently,but I'm glad i did! It's a great way to update a look without spending too much.
