monochrome madness...

Monochrome is a trend that we see season after season and it never loses its wow factor. It's a look everyone can pull off and you can be as daring as you like. Go for wild contrasting patterns or just simple accessories and the effect is still as chic as ever. I've been quite lucky and have found a few pieces in the sales so I have a nice foundation to build on but have also seen a few bits online that I adore.

Although not monochrome a sheer black shirt is a perfect start and works as well for a night out as it does for a day in the office. I picked mine up for $10 and have worn it on many occassions already, works well with jeans or a skirt.

I found this skirt on a sale rail for $5 and absolutely loved it. The whole skirt is made from elastic so it is super comfy. Worn with all black this skirt is a real showstopper.

Why not introduce a little monochrome through your manicure. Cheap and cheerful and you can change the style whenever you like.

It's always important to protect your eyes from the sun whether it be in the winter or summer and think how amazing you'll look rocking these bad boys.

A reliable timepiece is a must, why not make it monochrome too?

Or why not just keep it casual in Converse?

Monochrome works as well for winter as it does for summer so dont be afraid to invest in a few key pieces. A sharp blazer and some really great fitting black or white jeans will be the perfect start to create any monochrome look.

Go on give it a go, you know you want to.

super simple necklace saver...

At the moment the phrase "the bigger the better" very much applies when it comes to choosing a necklace, but do you ever find yourself sitting on the bed trying to detangle a buddle of necklaces whilst trying not to damage any of the delicate embellishments or knot any of the chains. Well if this sounds like you on a Saturday night then I have found the perfect item for you. The necklace saver is a little organza slip that you thread your necklace through. The slip is see through so you can see which necklace is inside which slip and once tied up they can be hung up or laid flat in a drawer.

These little slips come in a few different widths and lengths so there is a slip to suit every necklace. These would also be perfect for travelling and will just keep your jewellery looking at its best for longer. You could even hang your necklaces in your wardrobe now and know that that they wont be pulling threads or getting caught in delicate fabrics of the items around them. Think of what a nice gift these would make for your friends too. These are available to buy on amazon. I know I'll be stocking up.
