Missguided statement rings

I've been so addicted to this whole trend lately involving chains on rings and earrings! Especially the earrings that connect from your cartilage to your lobe. Unfortunately for me I never really wear my hair up if I'm going out so people wouldn't be able to admire it. I chose two rings from Missguided yesterday, both £5.99 each, they came today and I love them. I was however slightly dissapointed in them only being available in one size, the ring with the spikes is a poor fit and doesn't go on the fingers I was expecting it to fit on, but I'll work with it!

I'm such a sucker for rings, especially different ones like these, they totally caught my eye. I did an older post on my favourite rings here if you fancy a read! I always thought Missguided got it spot on with their clothing and shoes but their accessories let them down but, their jewellery is slowly but surely getting better and better each time I look!

What do you think of these "statement" rings? Your cup of tea or not?

LLYMLRS shell stone rings lucky dip!

I've always seen a lot of my freinds loading up these 'shell stone' rings on their fingers, and to be honest, I always despised them! I thought they looked like soemthing you would buy from Past Times or something! Since reading a lot more blogs and having a little go at blogging myself, obviously, I followed Lily's blog, and after seeing her working these rings in a ton of her photos, they've since grown on me!

A couple of days ago I stressed, one of my freinds told me she needed to drop off my christmas present. Christmas present?! I did't even know we were doing bloody christmas presents! So I got home and had a little look on twitter and saw that Lily had a code for 15 percent discount off her 5 ring lucky dip! I bought one set, then caved and bought another for myself. I decided if anybody else wanted to surprise me with a christmas present I had ten rings to give away if I really had to!

Safe to say I'm in love with them now! I only ordered these on Sunday and they came today, which if you're reading in the future is Tuesday! They're adjustable sizes too so should fit everyone. I suppose it's always a gamble when you buy something 'lucky dip' style but I'm pretty pleased with the ones I got given!











I think these rings make any outfit look effortlessly stylish and won't hesitate to buy another set in the future!

You can buy these rings here.

Temporary Secretary - Peace necklace & Cross ring

My second post from my online jewellery store spree! It was wrapped just as lovely as Dainty Roses was, it came with a little postcard thanking me for my purchase, and also a christmas card! Which obviously will only came this time of year but i thought it was a nice touch :)

I bought the double fingered cross ring for £9.95, and a peace sign necklace for £10. I'm over the moon with my ring, i love any jewellery with crosses on them, especially rings since they're my favourite. I like the peace necklace although unfortunately, i didn't realise the peace sign would be so big and the chain so short, HOWEVER, this is absoloutley no fault of their own as i went back on their website, and it states the size of the peace sign, and the length of the chain. It was just me making my own silly assumptions and not reading descriptions properly :) I can't praise this company enough, they're freindly, are always talkative on twitter, and my order came super quick!










If you happen to like any of the jewellery you've seen on this post you can visit Temporary Secretary's website here. They also have a blog, which posts alot of cute outfits of the day etc!

Dainty Roses - YSL arty oval ring for cheap!

Recently i've been exploring those wonderful little online jewellery stores! They're usually a whole lot cheaper than what you would find in the shops and you can occasionally find little bits and peices you usually don't find anywhere else! I actually picked a few that i found to order some bits and peices from so i could do a little write up on them as i really love coming across little gems like these.

 The Dainty Roses twitter was recommended to me on twitter, and as soon as i saw that it was an online shop i had to have a look. Now I'm not sure about you lot but I LOVE my rings, and I've had my eye on the YSL arty oval ring for a while now, they're absoloutly gorgeous, I've seen a ton of celebs wearing them, everyone from Alexa Chung to Kim Kardashian! They would set you back £165 but I'm a sucker for designer rings so i will probably save up for one at some point, so you can imagine how excited i got when i saw that Dainty Roses was selling a replica of them for £8.50! There isn't as bigger colour range on DR as there is on YSL but when you can have a ring that looks the part of a £165 ring, wether you buy it or not is a no brainer really!

I actually only ordered this ring on Sunday night, it's now only Tuesday morning and I'm already wearing it! So as you can see it came super quick, the lovely person who runs the DR twitter was lovely enough to reply to me when i tweeted her, and it came personally packaged the cutest way ever complete with a little badge :)











What do you all think?! Gorgeous isn't it?! I can safely say it is my new favourite ring! If you wish to visit the Dainty Roses store, click here. Can't wait to post about my next little online jewellery store!

My favourite accessories - Rings

Hi everybody! I thought i would start a more fashion/accessories related post rather than the typical makeup one because fashion is something else i really enjoy! Doesn't every girl though?! So, I've decided i'm going to start a little series of my favourite accessories, starting with my ultimate favourite - RINGS! I own quite a few but i thought i would pick five of my favourite to show you all, hope you enjoy!





Alexander McQueen - I lusted after this ring for so long, i think i looked at it every day on their website, mam must've caught me looking because she surprised me with it on christmas day last year! I think it was definetely the best present, I never expected she would get me it. I think it's the perfect attention grabbing ring, however I do only wear it on special occasions! Also, if im planning on getting drunk uptown under no circumstances do i wear it! I'm terrible for losing earings and rings uptown. My most prized possession! They're always bringing out new collections and colours of this famous skull ring, if you're interested you can check them out here.






Serpant style - For some reason, I have always absoloutly loved any form of ring or bracelet that had a snake/lizard on it, I think ive gone through about 4 or 5 of them, I either lost them or bent them or my freinds borrowed and never gave back, but I am always on the hunt for a new one! This particular one is from Topshop but i got it a couple of years back now. They're very easy to get hold of and i know that Talullah Tu currently has them! Oh, and a play on the Alexander McQueen one, so if you wanted a blingy style skull ring without breaking the bank, have a look at Talullah Tu here. (Some of Talullah Tu's jewellery can be quite expensive, i suppose it's just how much you would pay personally!)




Armour ring - Recently I have seen more and more of these 'armour style' rings floating about. At first when i saw the ones that cover most of your finger, i thought they were a bit too over the top gothy for me. This one is a very simple version of the typical armour ring you can get and i think i got it from BooHoo! They've grown on me now and I would love to have a proper one, but everyone I've seen they've been pretty expensive. So maybe for xmas :)




Cocktail ring - Personally, i'm not sure what makes a cocktail ring a cocktail ring, but i would certainly call this one! This I got from mammy dearest for my 18th birthday, I loved it then and it remains loved now! Again these are very easy to get hold of, i suggest looking on Topshop, even though they can be quite pricey.



Stackable rings - Extremely simple concept, so many ways to wear them! You usually get about 6 or 7 rings in these stackable packs, you can either pile them up, or spread them around all of your fingers! I own some from Topshop and H&M, I have to say H&M is the winner when it comes to these rings, affordable, and a wide range to choose from. Another great thing about these is you can buy them quite plain looking, so if you dont want something to over the top but still want to accessorize, i would definetely suggest these!


So, I hope you enjoyed my first more fashion/style related post, I look forward to doing more of them! Where do you all prefer to shop for accessories?!
