Costume jewellery at Primark

I've always had a soft spot for Primarks costume jewellery. As ever, the prices are very reasonable and they offer on trend styles too.

I purchased this black and white enamel floral statement necklace last month for only £6.


I also love this pink floral enamel necklace with a long chain for only £2.50


Wil you be sporting a statement necklace this summer?

Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Jimmy Choo Style!!

Checking out Elle magazine for March, I was pleased to see the ever popular open toe ankle boot was still in style for this season. I've been after a pair for a while, but wasn't sure of the right ones to go for.

I saw this pair in an Elle edition from last year and was suitably inspired to buy my pair below:


My pair are from Matalan and were a bargainous £14!! You can also buy them online and I've found in the past that Matalans sandals and shoes are quite good value for money


They are very similiar to the Choos-open lattice style, with a snakeskin style heel and faux suede uppers.

Will you be in open toed ankle boots this season?

The panelists

Kate was looking totally stunning in her DVF dress-unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo of her in it!! I also had the pleasure of meeting fellow bloggers Disneyrollergirl, Dressed and Pressed and That's not my age.

A very big well done and congratulations to Kate who has really worked so very hard these last couple of years to gain her MA with Distinction in Fashion and Film and it was a great pleasure to see the film and her beautifully presented red book dissertation.
