Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Hermes Style!!

I've always loved enamel jewellery and now I'm collecting costume jewellery I was keen to get an enamel bangle.

This Hermes one is currently on ebay-isn't it gorgeous!! But totally out of my price range!!

I found this gorgeous enamel bangle for only £1.50 at the boot sale-its in gorgeous condition and the colours are perfect for summer too!

What sort of bangles will you be in this summer?

Another necklace to the collection.......

My local charity shop turned up trumps with this gorgeous find, a hematite bead necklace, which is great quality and only £1.95-a definite must have for my newly growing costume jewellery collection

It will also go with my hematite ring that I got from Turkey around 20 years ago

Costume jewellery thrifted is a great excuse for shopping on a budget-try it!!

Thrift Inspiration, Doing it KJL Style!!

So, following on from 'My Wardrobe' post, I'm still keen to look out for accessories, particularly necklaces. Sadly the QVC necklaces didn't 'do it' enough for me to keep either of them, so they were sent back.

Two Saturdays ago at the boot sale my one and only purchase was a wooden bead necklace for only 50p, which is shown in the 2nd picture.

The 1st picture shows a Kenneth Jay Lane rosewood bubble necklace, which is available at Bunnyhug.co.uk for £32.30

Kenneth Jay Lane, £32.30

Boot sale, natural wood bead necklace, 50p

D&G have a red, white and blue bead necklace which is really cute too-will you be in beads this summer?
