Diamond Boxes

A while back I did a post about cheap storage devices I used for when I first got to university and I didn’t really have the money to buy anything else, I will leave the link here for it. For Christmas though I was spoilt of my momma who bought me some beautiful jewellery boxes as she found me keeping my jewellery in a tin not very lady like and since I am now 20 I should really be using something nicer.

I got two boxes, one a smaller mirrored box with a lid and matching mirrored set of draws with I love so much! One of the best things about them is that the inside of the box and each draw is felt so it gives some protection to the things that are inside. I use the box for my bigger necklaces, they fit in a treat and it’s big enough so that they don’t get all twisted in each other which is one of the biggest pains in the world when you are in a rush! I then have put my rings, earrings and bracelets in each of the draws of the one. For my earrings (the top draw) I placed a smaller box in as well (which I think I got a bracelet in but I can’t really remember) to hold my studs and smaller in earrings in so they don’t go roaming around the draw.

Another amazing thing about these boxes is that since they are just mirrored and not coloured they can fit in to pretty much any room with any decorations. I didn’t ask how much they were as it’s a bit rude to ask how much presents are but I did find out they are from the TU line in Sainsbury’s which I was surprised about as they are so pretty and I have never really had a look at the line. So if you are looking for some jewellery boxes or just a pretty box to put some nic-nacs in then get yourself down to your nearest Sainsbury’s! 

Autumn Jewellery Favourites

Hello kittens! Sorry for the lack of posts but I am just getting used to my new timetable and it’s been a wee bit of a hectic week but hopefully from now it’ll calm down a little. On a brighter note its becoming autumn now (inserts happy dance here) and I love autumn so much because it’s so pretty, you can start layering up and its closer to Christmas! Last weekend I was a little naughty and went shopping to stock up on my autumn wardrobe and I managed to get two key jewellery pieces for under £10, mummy Hann would be so proud. 

The first thing was this statement necklace from the Next sale; it take me a while to come round to statement necklaces as at first I just thought they were a bit garish and in your face. However over time I was subject to lots of different designs and I was won over completely…except from the price tag; as a bargain hunter I find it hard to spend a lot of on high street jewellery. Then I saw this beauty for £6 in the sale and I just had to have it! I have worn it none stop this week and had so many compliments on it that I am so tempted to buy more. It is fabulous as it can liven up any outfit so easily.      

(sorry about the nails guys!)

My next little treat was a couple of midi rings; I have loved midi rings for ages  but again I wasn’t prepared to pay £6 for one as it’s inevitable that I was lose it as I am a mixture of useless and clumsy. Then I found these little gems in Forever 21 for only £1.75 each! What a bargain! They had quite a few designs but I demonstrated some will power and only got two which I absolutely love and haven’t even lost yet.  So if you want some midi rings but are like me and are going to lose them, then head down to Forever 21 and treat yourself.
