Wake Ya Neck! Eye Popping Costume Jewellery Necklaces

The pop colour jewellery trend just won't quit. It's a great way to experiment with bright new shades, neons or just to perk up a dull black outfit and add some personality. I love a bit of chunky costume jewellery and these examples are a great place to start.

Colourful as ever, Kate Spade New York has probably my favourite selection of eye-catching statement necklaces (just one example pictured left but there are loads more) and you can lock that look in with a matching ring, bangles and stud earrings too. J Crew's SS12 bubble necklace (pictured centre and available from www.net-a-porter.com) meanwhile is being royally ripped off across the High Street, and Zara's covetable neon lime affair, pictured right, at just £15.99 is a lot more affordable than very similar designs by the awesome Mr. Tom Binns.

Zara Black Rabbit Umbrella - Creepy or Cool?

Whaddya think? It's definitely a bit sinister but I'm kind of into the Tim Burton-esque vibe of Zara's Black Rabbit umbrella (£15.99).  It's without doubt an interesting take on brolly totes, with the added bonus of not being something you'll forget or get mixed up in a hurry, although if you're not still in school, it will make you look slightly deranged. But as regular readers of this blog will know, I don't mind that.
