The minefield that is Jewellery
I love jewellery, but hate bling. I also do not have a money tree growing at the bottom of my garden so price and quality (two main factors in shopping for the 30 set!) are a must. I am past the Tiffany phase (that one peaked at my 30th birthday) and get annoyed when a wonderful pair of earrings you look for in your jewelry box have become an awful green colour.
Therefore I am on a quest to find jewellery that I love, does not require a loan and will last a long time.
I was therefore glad to discover a beautiful website called victoriaemerson.co.uk, the designs can be dressed up or down and are available in lots of different colours. I also love the photography of the website, the models clothes are very understated showing of the gorgeous bracelets.
I have mentioned this to Mr C, nothing has appeared in the post as yet so its a gift to myself coming through the letterbox soon I just have to decide on which one to get which is another story.

If like me you are a child of the 90's, Nirvana changed your life and Dr Martins were a wardrobe must then being in your 30's is utterly depressing when it comes to clothes.
I find that the high street is sadly lacking in items for the majority of 30 something women who hate the term boho but despair at a full blown Next directory outfit heading for me in the street. Don't get me wrong I love the high street, as a mum of two boys I adore H & M and admit to indulging in the Next sales for them but when it comes to me that's a different story.
Pinterest gave me hope, seeing Polyvore outfits showed me that there are items out there and I do have a love of all things Ebay, but should we have to search so hard to find these items? I have to stop myself from approaching women of a similar age who are looking fabulous just to discover where they have got their outfit from!
So I will attempt to share any knowledge with you fellow 70's children and lead us into a better world where we dont worry about looking like our daughters or mothers!
