Top 5 Jewellery Picks For Summer

If you watch my Youtube videos then you'll know that I have recently bought a lot of summer jewellery (of which I've included in my hauls) so I thought I'd do a 'Top 5 Jewellery Picks For Summer' post. It's nice to show you all what jewellery I like and what jewellery I'll be wearing in the summer months. I also thought about doing this kind of post for summer shoes and clothes too so if that's something you'd be interested in then do let me know. 
In this post I have included a mix of jewellery just to give you an idea of what shades and styles I like.

So without further ado, here are my Top 5 Jewellery Picks For Summer!

Pastel Stone Bracelet - £6.50 - Miss Selfridge

There's no denying that shamballa style bracelets are a popular amongst a lot of people, they're available left, right and centre. Plenty of high street stores are selling these types of bracelets at the moment and they're even being sold on eBay for dirt cheap prices (I'm literally talking 1p!). The bracelets are available in many different colours and styles, ranging from black with silver beads to white with multi-coloured beads. 
I love shamballa style bracelets and I especially love this one because it contains such pretty colours, I especially like the iridescent beads as they shine different colours! This little bracelet will look lovely with a tan so it's definitely being taken on my jolly holidays! 

Pastel Feather Spike Drops Earrings - £8.50 - Topshop

Feathers, spikes and pastel shades...the perfect combination. I absolutely love these earrings even though they are a bit 'out there'. The pastel shades are perfect for summer and I like the clash of feathers and spikes, two things you probably would never put together. The feathers and beads add a touch of girliness and the spikes give off that 'grungy' vibe, they're also very on trend too.
I would never wear a necklace when wearing these earrings as I think it would look a little OTT, the earrings are so big that they look fine on their own. The earrings would look great with a plain maxi dress or a plain t-shirt. 

Bobble Multi Stack Rings - £8.50 - Topshop

I like stackable rings as they can be worn together or separately. I own so many sets of stackable rings that I find myself mixing and matching them. Topshop and Miss Selfridge currently have a few sets of stackable rings so If like myself you love them, check out those two stores. Miss Selfridge has a lovely set of stretch stack rings and I think these will be my next jewellery purchase!
I love the bobble stack rings as they're fun and very vibrant, they look amazing worn together and I also think just one of the coloured rings would look nice with a couple of plain band rings.

Neon Ombre Snake Chain Necklace - £8.00 - Accessorize

You'd have to live in a cave or under a rock to not know that neon is massive this summer. One shop that has incorporated a lot of neon into their summer collection is Zara. They've included in their summer collection, a bright neon floral bomber jacket, a neon coral zipper jacket (proud owner of this), a neon tribal print t-shirt and they've recently started to stock neon yellow heels. 
I love neon as it's bright, bold and eye catching and I especially love neon jewellery as it can jazz up a simple outfit. I wore this necklace with a plain white t-shirt, jeans and white converse and it looked amazing because the outfit was so simple that it made the necklace stand out. 

Silver Spike Necklace - £13.00 - River Island

Statement necklaces appear to be very popular this S/S, we've seen them on the catwalk and we've seen them on the high street. Primark and H&M have some nice statement necklaces at the moment so if you're looking for a purse friendly statement necklace, check out those two stores (H&M also have a 50% sale too!)
Statement necklaces are great for wearing with high neck tops, t-shirts and dresses. They can turn a plain outfit into something very special. I recently ordered a black peplum top and think this statement necklace would look amazing with it.

So those are my Top 5 Jewellery Picks For Summer and I hope that you like them! If you have any questions about any of the jewellery mentioned, please feel free to ask below.

Top 5 Nail Polishes For Spring

I'm currently going through a 'let's buy loads of nail polish' phase and to be honest, I think it's primarily due to my new love for China Glaze nail polishes. I had heard of China Glaze but thought it was only sold in the USA, little did I know that a couple of UK online shops also sell it too. (I will link shops at the end of this post).

Since I've accumulated a fair few nail polishes over the past few months (mainly China Glaze nail polishes), I thought I'd do a 'Top 5 Nail Polishes For Spring' post. 

It's quite evident that pastel colours are going to be huge for S/S (spring/summer), everywhere you look there's mint green, coral, pastel pink, yellow, baby blue... and so on and so forth, so I thought I'd include nail polishes that 'fit in' with this pastel trend. 

Neons also seem to be an upcoming trend in not only the clothing industry but in nail polish world too so I think I'll include neon shades in my 'Top 5 Nail Polishes For Summer' post as I don't think many people are likely to sport lime green nails in spring. 

So without further ado, here are the nail polishes I think are perfect for Spring. 



O.P.I 'What's With The Cattitude' - £11.00 - (15ml)
"Soft pastel baby blue"

China Glaze 'Re-Fresh Mint' - £6.75 - (14ml)
'Pastel green creme"

O.P.I 'Fiercely Fiona' - £11.00 - (15ml)
"Soft feminine pastel yellow"

China Glaze 'Peachy Keen' - £6.75 - (14ml)
"True peach creme"

Essie 'Lovie Dovie' - £8.50 - (15ml)
"A perfect true flamingo pink"

 From: What's With The Cattitude, Re-Fresh Mint, Fiercely Fiona, Peachy Keen and Lovie Dovie

So there are my top 5 nail polish for spring! I thought I'd include a nice mix of colours as there's no point in me choosing 5 nail polishes with similar shades. I felt I had to include a mint green nail polish as it would be a crime if I didn't. Mint green is possibly one of the nicest and most worn colours, it's just simply amazing.
