Autumn Accessories | Rings

I go through phases where I'll cover my fingers in rings and where two necklaces at a time then suddenly I'll go weeks without wearing a single piece of jewellery. At the moment I'm in the mood to accessorise and have had my eye on a few different (very affordable) pieces so picked them up when I was in town yesterday. 

The first lot are these three midi rings from Primark which were an amazing £1.50. They are not the best quality to be honest and the infinity ring has chipped already, but I'm not complaining seeing as you get three rings for under £2. They are also available in gold, but they were pretty much sold out and only had M and L left. I'm usually an M but these rings are made so large that a S was the only size that stayed above my knuckle, so I'd suggest picking them up in a size smaller. 

Next is this multi pack from H&M. They are also available in gold but there was something about the silver pack that really stood out to me. They are so pretty and have a rough surface that almost makes them look sparkly. I thought they looked really unique and there are twelve in a pack which makes them great for stacking and wearing on different fingers. Good old H&M are brilliant for sets like this and twelve rings for £3.99 isn't bad either!

Getting Organised | Part 2: Jewellery

Here's the second post in a series about organising. I have no idea how many parts there will be, but I do like to be organised so there may end up being a few! This time I want to talk about ways of storing jewellery as well as displaying it, much like the post about organising your wardrobe.

I wear a watch every day so like to have them out on the side as it's easier to just grab one when i'm getting ready. My favourite is the Nixon Kensington which i've had for almost four years now. I got the strap replaced recently but it's still going strong considering I wear it pretty much every day. I just had to give it a little mention because I love this watch so much and would highly recommend any Nixon watch because of their great quality. 

I got the white stand from Amazon a while ago and it's great for displaying watches and bracelets. However, you can't fit a huge amount on there so it would be worth separating them over two stands in order to add more bracelets. It's made out of a fake white leather material and is pretty bad quality to be honest as the material can rip off easily when you take something off the stand, you just have to be careful.

I like to keep a selection of rings, necklaces and bracelets displayed on a cake stand. My Dad made this for me out of old plates last Christmas. He bought a special drill and attachment to hold the plates together, pretty clever! The jewellery that I have kept in their boxes, such as Tatty Devine pieces sit on the bottom plate of the stand. 

I also like to hang necklaces that I wear often on the corners of my mirror and on pretty hooks.

For smaller necklaces I use this torso shaped stand. I just think it's a really pretty way of displaying more delicate necklaces. It means that I can keep them on my dressing table so that I know where to find them and they don't get tangled.

I recently ordered some clear acrylic drawers from Amazon to store my more statement necklaces in. I thought this would be a lovely idea as they would be visible through the drawers. However, they never arrived and the company are now saying that they won't have any more in until the end of the month so have kindly given me a refund. I'll be on the look out for some more acrylic storage and will probably order a few different pieces from Muji. I keep my everyday make up in an acrylic stand and love the look of it so it will be nice to have a few dotted around my room to store different bits and pieces in.

Recently, my jewellery collection seems to have grown so I do keep most of it in boxes. I'm looking for new ways to store my necklaces so that I can have them on display, so if you have any ideas please let me know!

How do you like to store your jewellery?

Above Knuckle Rings & On My Nails

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I can't believe it's Monday again, can you?

I'd been wanting to try above knuckle rings for a while because I love how dainty and different they look. But I wasn't really sure where I should buy them from or if i'd even end up wearing them. I hardly ever wear normal rings so decided to get these ones from eBay and give them a test run before I splash out on some sterling silver ones. 

I honestly thought these rings would be really uncomfortable because they sit right above your knuckle, but you can hardly tell that they are there. I wore them all day and they did start to dig in a little bit but that's only because they are a tiny bit small for my fingers. The fact that they are so tiny is the only downside about them really. I don't have the smallest fingers in the world, which is why I am wearing them on my baby and ring finger. But oh well, I didn't pay a lot for them so wasn't expecting much and the size was specified when I chose them.

 But overall I'm really pleased with the way these look and will definitely be trying out some more designs. Have you tried above knuckle rings?

This week's nail polish is Barry M Cyan Blue (294). The sunny weather put me in the mood to wear a bright shade. What's on your nails this week?
