As i mentioned previously, i went into the City on boxing day & had a gander around the sales.
Here are a few of my slightly “blingy-er” finds…
I’m not normally an overly blingy person, in fact sometimes i’d rather make more of a statement with what i’m wearing than jewellery.
However, i think a tiny part inside of all of us, screams out for some big tacky bling every once in a while..especially when it’s half price or less.
The first thing i picked up was this rather tacky gold watch in River Island, reduced from £34.99 to £15
Equipt with diamontes & leopard print. On the tacky scale i’d say it was pretty high, but i don’t care, because i likes it :)
Second was a Karen Millen ring in House Of Fraser. Was £42.50, but i paid £10! A bloody bargain i’m sure you’d agree.
It sits on the hand at a slight angle, which obviously according to which way up you put it on, can either face down or up. It also has swarovski crystals in it, so it catches the light & looks beautiful. It’s quite large on my teeny little hand, but i love me a massive blingy ring. ;)
So as you can see, my blingtastic alter ego took over whilst hunting through the sales, but i’m glad she did, as i love both purchases.
Do you have a tacky/blingy alter ego like me?

haha, it's so hard to resist a bit of bling now and again (;, i'm always so tempted by those watches i might have to buy one next time! X
I'm an absolute sucker for a bit of sparkle and that ring is beyoootiful – I loves it!
xx
Love the ring. I have a massive blue heart one I picked up from a charity fashion show – not quite Karen Millen – it was only £3 but I feel all giddy when I wear it as it's really silly and girly xx
Woah that ring is beautiful! And such a great price. I'm like you – sometimes a bit of bling is required :). xo

Yes, I totally have it!I went to London last week and my tacky alter-ego was relieved!a lot of tacky, blingy shopping!
I LOVE the ring, it's so unique and quirky :)
See I think over the top jewelery is totally acceptable as long as you aren't wearing something over the top. A flashy necklace, ring, or pair of earrings goes well with a plain kind of outfit. Makes it pop more.
I am a big fan of crazy dangle-y earrings with lots of colors or flash. But of course, when I'm sporting those there is no necklace to accompany.
the ring is fun for sure!
Very cute watch! :)
