Dog Days

I love a dog in an outfit. Crazy for it in fact. A sausage dog in a hot dog bun? Or a pekingese in a party frock. I can't get enough.

I'm also pretty keen on shoes, hats and jewels, jewels, jewels.

So needless to say this accessories feature from the Independent had made me very, very happy indeed.

Up in Her Grill

I'm not alone in really hating grills am I? Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and now Madge. Let's stop the madness shall we?

Mate's Rates

When I went to Peru I loved all the colourful pom poms. So I am very excited to see this collection of pom pom-tastic jewellery that Mario Testino has designed for Net a Porter with some proceeds being donated to his charity Mate.

Charmed I'm Shour(ouk)

I adore jewellery. It is increasingly becoming my thing. I used to wear crazy clothes and crazy shoes and crazy make up (red eyebrows anyone? Yes, really, I did that once). But now that I am keeping my look slightly more discreet I like to play up my flashier side with fabulous jewellery.

The flashier and the louder and bigger the better. So needless to say I am beyond excited about Shourouk. Big neon and crystal strewn pieces are right up my street.

Gift of the Gabbana

I am completely obsessed with Dolce & Gabbana's ginormous Sicilian inspired earrings. They just scream summer to me. I think they are heaven.

Costume Drama

The wonderful Alexandra May has come up trumps again with an amazing stock of Anton Heunis jewellery.

These pieces are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I love them. They manage to combine both a vintage and modern look, are seriously sparkly and are perfect for those that like their jewellery to make a huge statement.

I don't think I will want to buy any other jewellery until I own everything! It is seriously a love thing.

Great Shakes

Have you seen the website Bottica? It is so full of treats it is almost too much. One of my favourite designers is Jenny Jenny, with her betasseled treats. Love them so hard, especially these orange earrings. Swoon.

Lime-Light

The global traveller/tribal look is pretty much a dead cert for summer. And as such can be a bit overplayed. But the spread in Marie Claire definitely got me interested again.

Mostly because of an abundance of big colourful jewellery.

And you know me, that is always something I can get amongst.

And most of it was from one company, Sweetlime. Which reminds me of the film The Darjeeling Limited, which already makes me happy. But what makes me even happier is how utterly gorgeous their jewellery is.

And how the more you wear of it the better it looks.

I could very nearly lose all my composure.
