Accessories haul #1 💗

Any fashion blogger or stylist will tell you that basic items are the most important items in your closet. They will also tell you that you should use accessories to spice things up: okay, the trendy accessories do change up from time to time, but they're cheaper to replace. Fashionable clothing items are not so easy to replace (imagine having to buy something from every new collection, sometimes it's just not possible).

 I decided to follow my own advice and go shopping for accessories, since I obviously needed some new, fresh items!  

You may or may not know this, but I'm a huge fan of statement necklaces. I love the ones that H&M and New Look sell, because they have so many options: there's literally something for everyone (different styles, colours, sizes,..).

Here's what I got! 

H&M

I love the necklaces that H&M makes with more than one option. For example this shell necklace, it's so cute, but they give you some more ocean inspired jewels in case you want to change it up!

New Look

So delicate and sophisticated!

Claire's

Claire's is a shop that in my opinion you love or you hate. Some of my friends think it's an awesome shop, others think it's a shop for teenage girls. 

I used to go there to get hair grips and such, but after getting my nose pierced, I also tried a couple of their piercings. I never had any problems with the studs and they're quite cheap, so I went back to check out the other piercings they have for sale.

I ended up getting this pack of four with summerproof belly button piercings!

That's it for part one! I have a part two coming up that are a bit more about earrings and ear cuffs. I hope you'll be here to read that too!

How to wear a statement necklace ♥

As you might now, I've been loving statement necklaces lately. Statement necklaces really were a huge fashion trend in 2014 and I fell in love with it.

I got myself a bunch of statement necklaces since they started trending and I'm still expanding my collection.

Today I have a few tips on how you can wear statement necklaces!

Little black dresses are a basic, they should be in every woman's closet. They always say: "If you don't know what to wear, wear a little black dress."

I used to think that was stupid, but over the years, I've come to realise how true it actually is. I have many little black dresses now and I wear all of them quite often! 

I love wearing statement necklaces when I'm wearing a little black dress. A statement necklace can make your whole outfit. With little black dresses, I usually pick a statement necklace that's a bit more colourful.

Of course you can also wear a colourful dress and still pair it with a statement necklace! (I have this beautiful orange dress and I love to wear my teal necklace with it).

I also love a statement necklace with jumpsuits. I don't own a jumpsuit, but they can look so classy (and it might not even take a lot of time to look like that!). A royal blue jumpsuit with a beautiful silver or gold statement necklace, maybe a blazer and a pair of heels and you're ready to go!

 

Statement necklaces also work on shirts (even when it's paired with a blazer), but I think they should be plain. Maybe an ombré shirt would be fun, stripes are okay and it also looks cute with lace, but the shirt shouldn't be too overwelming, because it might look messy. If you feel like a certain outfit looks good with a statement necklace even though it's covered in patters, by all means. This is just how I like to wear my statement necklaces. 

 

And I also always like to make sure that the colours in my statement necklaces are colours that are also in the rest of my outfit - I like it matchy matchy. 

Some people do, some people don't. My advice is just to go for what you like, what makes you feel good.

 

I hope you thought this post was useful! If you have more tips, please share them in the comment section below, I'd love to hear how you all wear your statement necklaces!

Have a good day!

A little jewelry haul

Hello everyone! How have you been doing? Did you have a nice New Year's Eve?

I went out looking for a cute dress for New Year's eve and I was in luck! I scored a nice black dress with a lace back and I also picked up some statement necklaces! 

 

These were actually on sale, they used to ask about €20/piece for it and now I paid €10 for both!  

 I have this thing for statement necklaces, so you can imagine how happy I was to get these two beautiful necklaces for a small price!

I also got a beautiful gold watch for Christmas. My sister gave it to me. Just in time, because a fellow student broke my other watch.

I like this watch a lot, I think it looks really classy even though it's simple.

Thanks for reading, and once again: Happy 2015!
