jewellery | forever

i recieved a parcel in the post yesterday, with some recent purchases from the beautiful online jewellery store forever.

the shop sells some beautiful pieces, including natural quartz cluster necklace and rings alongside some cute charm symbol jewellery. the quartz jewellery is right up my street, and as soon as i saw the amazing prices i just had to grab some as soon as i could!


ignore the stupid quality, my camera died so i used my iphone instead


‘teeth’ quartz and wire cluster necklace | £4.99


‘crystal’ singular quatrz piece ring | £4 (sadly sold out)

i can see me wearing these all the time! they’re colourless so they’ll go with pretty much everything. i might purchase some of the coloured quartz necklace that they have in stock, too!

shoes | topshop allegra chelsea boot dupe

if you’re into your fashion or you’re simply a topshop lover then you’ll know how sought after the topshop allegra chelsea boots are, whether they’re in the classic black, tan, red or green – you want them! but at £75 and selling like hot cakes i know how very difficult it is to get your mitts on them. after rating a super 4.7 out of 5 stars on the topshop review section of their website! with a stunning matte finish, rounded toe, perfect mid heel for wearing during the day i simply can’t find much wrong with them & absolutely have to have a pair!

so after HOURS of searching the whole of the internet, i’ve finally found the perfect, almost identical pair for all your girls who didn’t manage to snap them up, wanted them for much cheaper or simply don’t like wearing leather shoes like me.


the boots to the left are from a shoe boutique called daisystreet shoes, (who also sell clothes here) and are available to buy from the website in sizes 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 for a bargain of £38 with free postage! unfortunately they don’t sell them in size 5, but they do have an ebay account where they’re in stock. the cheeky beggars have upped the price from around £23 (a couple of months ago) to a whopping £36.99 plus £3.50 delivery so in total, £40.49. but it’s still £35 cheaper than the real topshop ones.

i don’t know about you, but i much prefer the weathered look of the daisy street versions. as soon as i found them i immediately added them to my basket and bought them, so hopefully they’ll be arriving sometime over the weekend! i’ll definitely post you my photographs of them instead of the silly stock photographs when they get here :)
