The Most Used Instagram Hashtag Right Now
2016 is the year of the hashtag. Well, 2015 was the year of the hashtag too – the hashtag is just taking over. Social Media and the rise and fall of an instafamous #lifegoals, has left us with a whole collection of new vocab for the year. And as well as EVERY emoji, the hashtag is my new fave thing to do. It gets the conversation going, and gives me the easiest opportunity that my new Insta selfie does in fact have #nofilter. So following that, I thought I’d compile together Instagrams top ten hashtags right now. At number five,...
Stuck on Studs
Lots of looks today are all about featuring the boyish, edgy side of people. Dark colours like navy, olive green, black, and brown, ripped jeans, Doc Martins, Vans, all that jazz. It’s all about keeping it cool. Accessories are not forgotten: dark leathers, skulls, lots of layering. But what people seem to love the most are studs. Studs on leather bracelets, studded earrings, studded rings, studded bags. I won’t lie to you, I’m big on the studs myself. My personal style is quite boyish, and studs help add to the effect. Conversely, I’ve also noticed people with quite classy or...
Why People Love Alphabet Jewellery
Some of the most popular jewellery pieces nowadays are name, initial, and monogram jewellery. Alphabet jewellery has become a staple in the wardrobes of many.

People also like to wear the...
Looks We Love: The Ear Crawler
Everyone is raving about the ear crawler, and so are we. For those who are unaware, an ear crawler is an earring that extends up the lobe and sometimes all the way up the ear. Ear crawlers are made so that it appears that you have multiple piercings on your ear. And they really do look real! It’s easy to fool people into thinking that you went and got your ear pierced. Thank you to whatever brilliant soul made them, because now it’s easy to look cool without having to actually get your ear pierced so many times. They come...

TREND: ROSE GOLD JEWELLERY
As we enter Spring, style rules inevitably change and it becomes necessary to shake things up a bit and opt for a fresher, brighter and just generally more sunny approach. And don't just draw the line with your wardrobe either - just like clothes, your jewellery can be updated and worn differently as the seasons rotate, to add interest and a fresh twist to your new season look. Rose gold is the most summery way to wear gold jewellery once the sun comes out to play. Just like our skin (hopefully!) this type of jewellery is sun kissed and shimmery -...
