My new jewellery obsession | Pandora

I've been really into my jewellery since getting my Olivia Burton watch recently. I want nothing more than to match it perfectly with gorgeous rings and bracelets. Enter, Pandora rings.

I began browsing online and discovered so many beautiful pictures of people with gorgeous Pandora rings. I started searching on eBay and last Friday I entered into a small bidding war and won my first ring - the classic elegance ring. (I hope it is genuine, as on eBay you can never really be sure, but I've done my research and I'm pretty sure it is. If it isn't, it only came to about £15; so it is not like I've lost out on ££).

It is a sterling silver ring with small cubic zirconias all the way round the band, then a larger round one in the centre, with a ring of more small ones around it. It is pure sparkle and looks gorgeous day and night. It has certainly got me addicted.

I have since won two more on eBay around a similar price point, so hopefully they'll arrive some time next week.

What is your favouirte Pandora ring?

Olivia Burton arm candy

Social media is sooooo powerful, never underestimate the power of it. I literally saw ONE picture of this gorgeous watch on Instagram and I fell in love.

It is the Olivia Burton Wonderland watch in silver and rose gold (also available in silver and gold) and I am the proud owner. 

Olivia Burton is an up and coming London based brand that make beautiful classic, stylish, timeless (pun intended) watches. 

You can get them from various retailers including ASOS and Goldsmiths and they have an online shop on their website too, but I found this beauty at the best price on the Topshop website. I also had a cheeky discount code for 20% off which helped! 

I love the mix of rose gold and silver. In fact, my previous go-to watch was my Swatch lady passion that I picked up last time I went to New York which is the same colour combo. I tend to wear silver bracelets, so they go together perfectly.

Now I'm lusting over the silver Pandora charm bracelet with the rose gold clasp as that would be a match made in heaven. Watch this space.

Alex and Ani bangle

During my recent holiday to NYC I made a compulsory trip to Bloomies and wandered round looking at all the beautiful expensive designer clothes I can't afford. Then, on the way towards the escalator on one floor I spotted an Alex and Ani stand.

I have wanted an Alex and Ani bangle for ages since I saw Maira Sparkles post photos of them on Instagram. I think they are harder to get hold of here in the UK though. I was so exciting to see the full range there on a table in front of me, I think my boyfriend wondered what was wrong when I squealed "Alex and Ani" at him.

I was going to go for this one that has the New York skyline on it as a bit of memorabilia from my holiday, but it was a brushed silver so didn't really go with the gorgeous new silver bracelet my boyfriend had bought for my birthday a few days before.

I then spotted the birthday stone bangles which are a shiny silver (or gold), so I went for one of those instead. It's still quite meaningful as we did actually go to New York to celebrate my birthday.

I am now a proud owner and will definitely expand my collection in the future. Knowing me I'll probably still end up getting the NYC skyline at some point as I absolutely love New York.

If you would like to have a little browse, the only place I have found that stocks them in the UK is www.argento.co.uk

Mix 'n' Match nails

I was going to just do silver "studs" on my ring fingers for an accent, but ended up having a bit of a play. I've also gone for a heart on the side of the thumbs and silver tips on the little fingers.

In hindsight, when I got to this point I should have gone the whole hog and done something on the other two nails, but we live and learn. :)
