I USED to think the saying that ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ was a bit of nonsense. Until… I got my own diamonds, when my husband bought me my beloved antique 1920s engagement ring and then?

One of the loveliest things about blogging is coming across super retailers, whom previously I would never have heard of. And of course, sharing them with you!

SOMETIMES you buy something so wonderful that you just can’t wait to wear it. Like this multicoloured beaded ‘rainbow’ necklace that I found in the online Topshop sale a couple of months ago. As soon as it arrived, I couldn’t wait to wear it but as it’s such a statement piece, it’s not – unfortunately – the easiest thing to wear. It needs a simple neckline. It needs the chance
