Jaw-Dropping Jewellery - The Kinetic Collection by Ruifier

Honest to God, I could stare at this incredible jewellery all day. The Kinetic Collection by designer fine jewellery brand, Ruifier, is utterly captivating. They've used technology to create a mechanism that keeps a semi-precious stone in constant movement, creating a magical aura and what's basically a mini light show thanks to the refractions from the gorgeous gems.

Valentine's Day Accessories - A Nod to Love

Whether you're full out celebrating or just giving a romantic nod to l'amour, these great love themed

accessories are great for Valentine's Day and beyond.

Russell & Bromley Embellished Black Leather Wrist Cuff

People seem to think fashion and beauty bloggers are constantly showered with gifts and freebies by brands and - whilst this may be true for some of the blogging big guns - this really isn't the norm. So, when you do get a special treat arrive either in the mail or in a goody bag after an event, it's always a lovely surprise (well, most of the time - I still need to find a home for the acne treatment I was given once...).

I was recently given this stunning Russell & Bromley embellished leather cuff - although not actually by the brand themselves - in a goody bag and absolutely adore it. Leather, studs, beading, bling - what's not to love?!  So me and such a great gift. It seems their website is under wraps until later this season so if you want to catch this cuff in person, try Russell & Bromley stores or check back soon at www.russellandbromley.co.uk

Super Cool Skyline Cocktail Ring from Real Housewife of NYC, Jill Zarin

Big blinging cocktail rings and costume jewellery are super hot right now and this Skyline ring is my favourite AW12 piece so far, combining my passion for cool, chunky accessories with my love for NYC. 

Even better, this FAHbulous twinkling crystal pave and jet stone Skyline ring is the handiwork of none other than The Real Housewives of New York City star, Jill Zarin! It's part of her latest Fall 2012 jewellery collection (which also includes some wicked leather hoop earrings) and is a bargain $50 from jillzarinjewelry.com 

Only one problem.... no international shipping! :( So when will you start shipping to the UK please Jill?!!

Swarovski's Hello Kitty Bow Drop Earrings Reduced!

TOO CUTE. CAN'T DEAL.

Swarovski have just reduced these purrrrfect glittering crystal Hello Kitty drop earrings for pierced ears, featuring the iconic bow in red - now reduced to £30.50 and available from Swarovski stores.

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.

Black Diamond Engagement Ring by Karl Fritsch

I'm afraid I can't tell you much about it other than that this 2 carat black diamond engagement ring, complete with a face engraved into the diamond (see the holes?), by German avant garde jewellery designer Karl Fritsch is one of the most incredible pieces of fine jewellery I've ever laid eyes on. So unique.

Disney x Swarovski Crystal Jewellery Collection 2012

Whether you're into your Disney or not, the Disney 2012 range for Swarovski is subtle enough to go unrecognised to the untrained eye.  Delicately gothic pieces featuring crystal roses and thorns inspired by Sleeping Beauty (I die for the looking glass chandelier earrings pictured below) sit alongside Snow White looks of pierced jewel heart jewellery.  There are a few more playful, traditionally cartoony pieces too like the sparkly jet Minnie Mouse drop earrings and heart pendant pictured below and a fun Cheshire Cat necklace. Shop the full collection on www.swarovski.com

Sleeping Beauty Looking Glass earrings, £61, Thorn and rose ring, £59, necklace, £61 and bangle, £102, Snow White earrings, £79.

Minnie Mouse earrings, £67, Minnie Mouse heart pendant, £61, Snow White pierced heart chain, £61 and earrings, £99.

New Hillier Heart Studs - Perfect for Valentines!

These cute little 18 carat gold chunky heart scribble stud earrings from one of my favourite jewellery designers, the wonderful Hillier London, remind me of the sleepers you used to wear when you first got your ears pierced. Their quirky, childlike quality made me smile so I thought I'd share... They'll be available from www.hillierlondon.com and various Hillier stockists.

PURRRRFECT: GIVENCHY'S CAT HEAD DOOR KNOCKER CHAIN NECKLACE

Having bagged myself the much coveted Neneh Cherry style Versace x H&M leopard print bomber, the next thing on my wish list is this, Givenchy's heavy weight gothic style black metal and resin double cat head chain necklace. Yes, ok, so it looks a bit like a gargoyle or a door knocker but I don't care, I LOVE it.

KEEP IT ZIPPED - MARC BY MARC JACOBS' AWESOME EARRINGS

I bought these quirky Marc by Marc Jacobs earrings in silver a few years ago and get stopped every time I wear them by people desperate to know where they're from. They're so fun! These studs move like real zips too so they wiggle when you walk - cute! I absolutely LOVE them so you can imagine my delight to see that they've brought them out in a host of new colour ways. Total must haves... I want them all. Available from Marc by Marc, Selfridges etc - all the usual suspects.

Rose gold - £45

Black - £50

Yellow - £50

Peony - £50

LAZY OAF X FRED BUTLER

Looks like last night's launch of the Lazy Oaf x Fred Butler collection was a blast!!  I am totally coveting one of those hair accessory flowers and the super shiny watches, and the graphic pendants, and, and...  What can I say, I'm a big fan! Aren't these the best (temporary) tattoos, too??!
