Last week I posted about buying my first Louis Vuitton handbag - take a look here, but it got me thinking about how my tastes have changed regarding jewellery and accessories as I have got older! In my handbag post I said it had been a toss up between a designer handbag and a diamond necklace for my 50th birthday - I had decided on the diamond. What I've noticed is that I now prefer simplicity. I want simple outfits with simple accessories. Classy, chic, stylish. A uniform of sorts. I am still working on perfecting the capsule wardrobe but I have a much clearer idea of what I like these days. My jewellery drawer has had a good sort out and will be culled even more in the coming weeks as I sort out my wardrobe for the new season. I no longer want statement necklaces or beads, I want simple gold or silver jewellery that can be worn every day, that can be layered and that goes with everything. I am currently loving my Nomination bracelets. I have two, one with charms and one just a simple style to co-ordinate and layer as a stack with my other bracelets which include some Tiffany beads and a Hot Diamonds chain with heart. I have a silver Pandora ring, and of course my diamond engagement ring. I love my Olivia Burton watch and as they are such reasonable prices I am very tempted to get another one to add another colour option! So that is me keeping it simple! Hope it gives you some ideas! And don't forget this week I have an exclusive 15% discount at Sweat-Bea - an excellent online scarf and accessories shop - use the code FIFTYANDFAB15 at check out. I love their bracelets, if you like my Tiffany beads, Sweat-Bea have lots of really simple styles here. Love Michelle xx PS How gorgeous are the colours of these new scarves in at Sweet-Bea?! I might just have to use my discount again before Monday! FIFTYANDFAB15

Last year I was lucky enough to work with a fabulous online scarf and accessories shop, I met Kate of Sweet-Bea on Instagram and I am very impressed by her website and stylish products. This year I am again able to offer my lovely followers an exclusive 15% discount from Sweet-Bea - but first of all here is a little selection of the new stock. I chose two scarves to show you. First of all burgundy and pom poms! What a great combination for autumn. Who doesn't love a pom pom and burgundy just shouts out autumn colouring to me! This pom pom scarf is so soft and not too bulky so ideal for 'now' that inbetween not hot, not cold but just need something extra as it can be a bit draughty. I wore it for lunch at The River Cafe in Hammersmith. Perfect with my Pretty Ballerina's! It was a very grey day in Hammersmith! Even more grey with the wall and the path! But you get the idea - my burgundy accessories brightened it all up! There are lots of other pom pom scarves at Sweet-Bea to choose from! The other scarf I am showing you is a slightly thicker and bigger, very soft and a lovely mix of autumn colours. This is the camouflage super soft scarf also burgundy but other colours available. This is going to be another great colour combination for my wardrobe this season as it combines my favourites of two different shades of burgundy, cream and grey. Here I am wearing it with a casual outfit - a stripe breton and blue jeans. There are lots of fabulous scarves on the website as well as some really pretty jewellery and other accessories. Great time to be thinking about presents too! I'll show you some more styling ideas and top picks from Sweet-Bea later in the week but do pop over to their website and use the code FIFTYANDFAB15 at checkout for a 15% discount off of all orders until Monday 9th October.
My plan this week is to spend some time getting my wardrobe tidy again - moving the last of the summer stuff out and seeing what gaps I have in my autumn wardrobe! Love Michelle xx |
