Hey guys, 

This are only just a small selection of my cross necklaces but as you can tell i like crosses.

I don't know where my obsession started really, i have always just found religious symbols really interesting i.e ying yang-Daoism, om symbol-Hinduism, Star of david-Judaism.

New jewellery - Sammy

Went out with a friend yesterday and picked up these jewellery pieces.

The gold rings were on sale in Dororthy Perkins for half price. They reminded me of the ASOS gold rings which I spoke of wanting in [this] post, and they were cheaper at £3.25. They're really plain so perfect for layering up with other bigger rings.

I needed some new silver studs, so I picked up these from a random jewellers. It was mix and match so I chose these two, the left a celtic type of pattern and the right a hamsa hand. Couldn't take a picture of these on as they're so small and I couldn't find my macro filters, so my camera wouldn't have picked them up. I love the fact they're so tiny, but have so much detail too.

OOTD: Tie-dye and leopard print

Got a new dress for a wedding reception in a New Look sale. This stood out so much, I've never seen anything like this in New Look and it was only £20. I got this leopard print blazer from Next to go with it. Although it clashes and has so much pattern, I really like this look.



Here's some tie-dye images sourced from Tumblr [ask for credit].

I love how tie-dye always comes out differently, different patterns and different shades of colour.

Tie-dye's really on trend right now, and I've wanted to tie-dye some plain white vests I have, as I have soo many and my outfits in the summer get boring sometimes and this type of dying looks nice, it'll liven up an outfit.

 As tie-dye is in with the 'hippy' style trend, I've rediscovered my love for toe rings and anklets. I've rummaged through my jewellery draw (yes, I have a draw...too much jewellery) and I found some silver and blue anklets and rings, but I'd love to get some more, especially like the one below.

ASOS jewellery lust list - Sammy

All of this simple jewellery from ASOS will be such good buys, as they'll never go out of fashion/ you'll never get sick of them and they'll go with EVERYTHING.

Really looking forward to in summer (if the British weather ever cheers up) being able to buy a nice pair of sandals and wear toe rings and anklets!

Jewellery can make such a difference to outfits, so here's some reasonably priced pieces from ASOS I'm wanting at the moment.

A guide to gold necklaces

Gold jewellery is a popular trend at the moment, one of which I am loving. I feel incomplete without some sort of jewellery on, mainly necklaces. So here are my three favourites and how I wear them.

Coin detail necklace

I only wear this with really plain outfits, (like a black maxi skirt or jeans & white t-shirt/ vest) just because it's got a lot of detail and it's on a long chain, so with clothing that has a lot of detail it looks too much.

Chain necklace

I wear this with literally everything, it's so versatile.

One way of wearing it, which is on trend at the moment, is to have it under a shirt collar with only the center of the necklace hanging out. This is something I absolutely love, as it can be casual or look smart when going out. As the chain is so bold, it stands out against the most patterned of clothing.

Bird necklace

The bird on this necklace is only small and so is the chain, so I have to wear it with plain outfits or low cut tops/ dresses so it can actually be noticed. Though animal necklaces with bigger pendants and chains could be worn differently from this as they will stand out more.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me" ;)

Hi guys,

Bit of a random post. This is the wonderful Sammy. This is an editorial shoot I did with her using 35 mm film. I went a little cray cray and just draped chains all over her face, a little inspired by all the leg chains, body harness and ear cuff trend. Its a lil S&M, but I love it. Ri Ri would be proud.

Hope you enjoy the random post.

Prom accessories

Went to New Look today and got some accessories for prom.

My dress is plain black, so I'm having a pop of colour on my clutch to make the outfit less plain.

I loved the earrings, they're like an aztec pattern which I've been seeing a lot of lately.
