Statement Jewellery From BIJOU BIJOU
Once upon a time, making a statement with your jewellery choices meant opting for precious stones. The biggest statement you could make was through a Diamond, a status symbol which spoke of wealth and prestige. But these days, the biggest talking point when it comes to jewellery is the statement necklace, and this is, more often than not, a glorious piece of costume jewellery. The newest name on the blog when it comes to costume jewellery that dazzles and delights is BIJOU BIJOU, a company that definitely comes under my ‘currently I’m loving’ tag.

Christmas Gift ideas and review from Jack Wills

Buckley London is a name that is synonymous with quality and style. I was recently asked if I would like to review pieces from the newest ranges. I fell totally in love with the Capri collection, and…

Millie Mackintosh Jewellery collection for Dorothy Perkins
She is probably my favourite style icon to emerge from ‘Made in Chelsea’, and now she is further venturing into the world of fashion with a jewellery collection for High Street favourite Dorothy Perkins. Millie Mackintosh continues her move away from the TV world with a gorgeous range of jewellery which she says draws inspiration from her family heirlooms (her family are the Mackinstosh family who invented Quality Street), and from vintage pieces that she has picked up on her travels. The range was launched at Dorothy Perkins this week and looks set to be an instant success. Millie is an acknowledged lover of jewellery, she made many of the…
