Costume Jewellery Love Affair

I've always been the type of girl that cares more about handbags than shoes and never really cared too much about accessories...until now. I've never really been attracted to it. Whilst everyone I know has been swooning over Pandora bracelets, I've been checking out handbags and dresses and generally not thinking too much about jewelry. I would wear the odd piece but its never really fascinated me.

The necklace in the above picture changed everything. It's a pearl necklace that my Granddad bought my grandma when she was really young, approximately 70 years ago. It has been about 8 years since my Grandma passed away and my mothers had this necklace in her draw. I was wearing my chiffon top that I will be adding later in the post and I wanted something to dress it up. I slid this necklace on and I realised that I needed more jewelry. Since then, I've gone jewellery mad! It doesn't matter whether your jewelry is £1 or thousands of pounds, if it glams up your outfit, you're onto a winner.

I got these earrings off Ebay (brand new) for £1 and I love them. I also got the broach from Primark and the ring.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the high street:

Have you bought any jewellery recently?
