Oh my, day 366 (I should have figured that 2012 was a leap year really and called this the Jewellery 366 challenge)...
There is no Shop of the Week as if this blog has taught me anything it's that we don't need shops! I have almost made it through, there will be two more posts after this...one to cover off the missing 10 days from earlier this year and then one to sum up the whole challenge.
But in the meantime, lets see what festive delights I've worn this week! Top to bottom; blue bead necklace (hand made), flower bracelet (Jon Richard), crystal necklace (Marks and Spencer), gold and purple bangles (Jon Richard), stone and bead necklace (present),multi stone bracelet (Evans), bead and string bracelet (Marks and Spencer) and black and silver bib necklace (Marks and Spencer).
Only two days to go until Christmas!! I've been mixing it up a bit this week a I know I am more fond of necklaces than any other piece of jewellery, although one (well, strictly speaking, its two) has managed to sneak in!
My Shop of the Week this week is Primark. Granted it's hell on earth to fight your way in to one of these at the best of times, not least in the run up to Christmas, but you really can't beat it for on-trend, cheap accessories. When you're off to a million and one parties this month (not that I am, I'm knackered and look like I have a rugby ball up my top!) then its good to be able to mix and match without breaking the bank. They are also fab for Secret Santa presents too.
This week it's been (top to bottom); blue wooden bead earrings (hand made), silver chunky bracelet (Jon Richard), gold bangles (part of a set from Jon Richard), green glass earrings (hand made), wooden blue bead bracelet (hand made), silver and gold necklace (charity shop) and brown bead necklace worn as bracelet (Next).
Not far to go now! My Shop of the Week this week is Amazon - partly because I've been looking up novelty Christmas hats and jumpers (amazing) but also because they do a great range of jewellery on there and its not often somewhere many of us think of to look for that kind of thing. Plus they are very good at getting things sent out in time for Christmas. They have some great brands too like Kit Heath.
This week, top to bottom; pearl and flower necklace (hand made), long teardrop necklace (Jon Richard at Debenhams), chunky green bracelet (present), gold hoop earrings (Jon Richard at Debenhams), tigers eye and flower charm necklace (hand made) and blue bead earrings (hand made).
Now we're into December I can't believe we're nearly there. I am a bit shocked I've got this far and having done a count I know I also have enough to see me through the rest of the year, and the 10 days I missed at the start when I was ill. It's pretty scary!
My Shop of the week this week is actually Mothercare! I found the lovely Little Bird charm bracelet from the Jools Oliver range but they also do a really fab range of personalised jewellery too. It's not online but if you have a big store near you then they should have it in there. We'll definitely be investing next year!
This week its been, top to bottom, Little Bird charm bracelet (from Mothercare), Pansy necklace (from Florrie Willow on Asos), Pansy earrings (Florrie Willow on Asos), Triangle earrings (Jon Richard at Debenhams), Charm necklace (Accessorize), green crystal necklace (Accessorize) and green crystal earrings (Accessorize)
