Just a note to say:

The Topshop competition is now closed & the winner will be announced in the next few days! Thankyou to everyone who entered!

As you may know buy now (well to my regular readers) I'm a huge fan of vintage jewellery. There's so many brands I love such as Punky Pins & Ji Ji Kiki (expect posts on them soon!)
I love vintage inspired jewellery as it's quirky and has an old feel to it. I've got a few necklaces now and i'm going to tell you about my latest two necklaces from Cutie Pie.
With all necklaces under the price of £20 how can you really go wrong?

I love the whole nautical look and when I saw this necklace, i just had to have it. I love all things floral so the little flower made the necklace even more lovely.
I really like the detailing on all Cutie Pie jewellery, as you can really tell it's all handmade with love and care. The necklaces came in adorable little green boxes with 'Cutie pie' in pink fancy lettering on the tops!

(Sorry about the not so great lighting, just wanted you all to see the adorable boxes!)

This is the other stunning necklace by Cutie Pie you can buy in the sale HERE for only £12.50!
These necklaces go great with the typical outfit, and look really great with a floral dress, for that 'cool vintage' look.

All Cutie Pie necklaces, have the signature Cutie Pie tag on which I think is really nice!
If you don't want to buy a necklace everyone else has check out Cutie Pie now!

A Style That Has It All Together

When trying to create a jewelry ensemble that seems polished and stylish, it’s often a good idea to have a solid theme throughout the jewelry pieces. If you’ve found vintage jewelry necklace pieces, for instance, it’s often best to look for the same style and material in a bracelet or earring too. It makes the style come together.

Choose Items with Similar Metals or Stones

If your chosen necklace were made of silver, a classic style would be to have your bracelets be silver too. If you have a large amethyst pendant, look for a bracelet with amethyst too. By choosing similar materials, one has a look that is more classic and elegant. Diamond necklaces would go with diamond bracelets, and so on. Coordinated sets of jewelry are often found sold as a set. These make great gifts, as the recipient doesn’t have to go and find a matching jewelry piece to give them a total look.

Keep Items Similarly Weighted

If you have a large cuff bracelet, you want to pair it with a bold statement necklace. If you tried to pair it with a small charm necklace, it would be overpowered by the other piece of jewelry. You end up looking a bit unbalanced. Keep the jewelry pieces of the same weight and you have a more coordinated look.

Use a Unifying Theme

Beach jewelry all has shells and sea motifs. The theme is fun in the sand. Similarly, you might want some jewelry like a mother’s charm bracelet paired up with a locket that has your children’s pictures in them. If you love hearts, you can opt for a hearts on both your bracelets and you necklace. When you use a unifying theme, the look is more put together and can even be a conversational piece.

I love Chelsea Doll Jewellery.
