QVC + Pearls=Birthday Presents!!

I'm shopping around for birthday presents at the moment and I'd like some necklaces that will last a long time and be a memorable reminder of my 40th birthday.

So I was pleased to see QVC come up trumps with their range from Kenneth Jay Lane, which includes a set of pearls, which I really wanted

This first necklace is the 'Kenneth Jay Lane Paris Couture' necklace, which I chose in the purple colourway





The 2nd set is an ultra long set of pearls, which can be strung at least a couple of times around the neck.

Kenneth Jay Lane, the King of costume jewellery, counts former first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Nancy Regan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton as satisfied clients-so if its good enough for them, its a fabulous choice for me!!

So, I'm just awaiting delivery of my chosen presents and as long as I'm happy, I'll be showing them off!

AC DC for less!!

This rock tee is available at My-Wardrobe.com from Junk Food Tees for £18.50

This AC DC tee was only 50p from the boot sale a few months back and its an authentic tour tee too!

Its not my style, so it was great that my eldest son decided he wanted it!!

Thrift inspiration, Doing it Sequins Style!!

Sequins are a hot look again this summer-check out these gorgeous pieces available at Net-A-Porter which will definitely have you glittering and adding some sparkle to your outfits:

Adam sequin tank, £348

Yves Saint Laurent sequin jumpsuit, £2455

I bagged this vintage sequin waistcoat last summer at the boot sale for just £1. Its a great piece that I wear dressed down with jeans during the day.

Will you be in sequins this summer?

Tribal trend and Ikat prints

The Tribal trend and particularly Ikat prints are very much in trend this summer-its a fabulous style print that works so well on blouses, skirts and dresses

I scored a gorgeous French Connection Ikat print tunic blouse recently, a great way of getting into the trend and a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down.

I've paired the top with my denim jeggings, my Moroccan belt for a more Tribal feel and my tan Gladiatior style shoes by Clarks

Will you be channeling Ikat prints and Tribal this summer?

Denim shorts

Our weather has been absolutely hot, hot, hot this weekend, so on Saturday I decided to customise my Levi's low slouch jeans into shorter denim shorts. I was pleased to read in the Times that Shane Watson, who is in her 40's, thinks that shorts for older women is definitely a goer.

Zara shorts, £29

I've been wearing my cut offs all weekend-they're perfect for the weather at the moment and they are very comfy for just chilling out

Will you be customising any denim for this summer?
