I have made it safely and am now in beautiful Egypt! I cannot believe how hot it is! I have never experience this heat! We have had a lovely time so far, the staffs at the hotel are lovely and it is the biggest room I have stayed in!

On Sunday I get to go camel riding and star gazing, which I cannot wait to do! Hopefully I can get some nice pictures in the desert. I have already seen a few camels, the weeks running up to this holiday I got a bit obsessed!

This kind of outfit is what I have been spending my time in, sheer cover-ups that can quickly be taken off to jump into the pool! And of course a bit of trusted turquoise which as you all know is my favorite!

Blouse and Skirt: H&M, Wedges: Aldo, Watch: Michael Kors, Necklaces: Forever XXI, Earrings: Betsey Johnson

My favourite pencil skirt recently kicked the bucket (hey, clothes can only last so long, right?), so I decided to buy a new one. I wanted to originally buy just a simple black pencil skirt, but opted for a more intricate pleather skirt. I love the results!

 

I will admit that I'm most likely gonna go out and buy another pencil skirt, hopefully a basic one. But I just couldn't pass this baby up, it's too cute and I haven't seen to many pleather pencil skirts around. I love basic clothes that have an edgy twist. So this isn't too crazy of a design for a skirt, but the fact that it's pleather takes it to the next level.

 

 I've been into really cute jewellery lately, so I picked up these pieces from the store of cuteness (not a word, is it?), Forever XXI. I love the small perfume bottle with it's tiny little rose and the tiny cupcake. Too cute.

 

I paired this outfit with what are the comfiest heels I own, wedges from Aldo. If you look closely you can see that they have a patent leather accent, it adds a really edgy touch to the shoes.

 

 

Have you ever tried to buy a basic, but gone for something a little more out there? Maybe a pair of black pumps, but ended up with some platforms ?

My Love Affair With Jewellery

This is the first in a series of posts where I share with you my favourite pieces of jewellery. I'll be sharing everything from expensive pieces to pieces that I purchased for $2.99. The first pieces I am sharing are my favourite Swarovski earrings and a little high-heel brooch I've had for years.

When I was ten-years-old, I saw this brooch in a cookie cutter boutique and I begged my mother for it. I've had it ever since and I appreciate it more and more every day. It's one of my favourite colours and I love the little Austrian crystals.

I was given these Swarovsi earrings for Christmas a couple years back and I really cherish them. They are very small earrings that I can see myself wearing now and many years in the future. Swarovski is my favourite brand of jewellery, the opulescent shine has always been my favourite.

What's your favourite jewellery brand?

In this series of posts where I showcase my large and constantly growing jewellery collection.

Next I am showcasing my Tiffany's bijoux. I only have two pieces, but they are classically gorgeous!

I was gifted this gorgeous sterling silver bracelet when I graduated high school. I love how my cousins had it engraved with my initial and the year of my graduation, I think it adds a beautiful personal touch to it.

I was gifted these earrings for my birthday a couple years back. I really admire their classic design - over the past few years, hoops have come in and out of style. I have really come to appreciate smaller sized hoops, they have a very classic and streamlined appeal to them.

So there you go, another two pieces I've shared with you. I seriously think it will take me forever to show off all the pieces I have! (poor me :P).

Now I am showcasing what is possibly one of my favorite pieces of jewellery, a statement necklace from Club Monaco.

As you can see from this photo, it is a very long necklace, precisely the reason I fell in love with it.

It's a relatively simple necklace with two components: a fair amount of chain and rhinestones.

SO, what do you think of my exceedingly long statement necklace?
