I'm not a big fan of chunky, spiky, heavy jewellery. There, I said it. Don't care how trendy it is, if it looks like it could cause someone considerable pain then I tend to keep a safe distance, clutching my pearls. Give me kitschy clock pendants or dainty rose gold any day - although for this beauty I have made an exception.



One of the brands I work with, Fiorelli (@fiorellijewels) recently brought out this sparkly spiky stunner for their AW13 collection and I snapped it up as soon as it was released. Yes, it's spiky, but they're dainty spikes - and I am a sucker for crystals, what can I say?

 It just adds a little bit of an edge to an outfit (not that I am in any way edgy!) and works just as well with t-shirts as it does with little dresses. It does mean I've had to rethink some necklines, but utilising a bit of brainpower when planning outfits is sometimes required, I suppose...

I must say it looks especially spiffing when teamed with my faux-leather jacket and a pink pout - I tend to adopt a bit of a messy-hair/snarly-face when wearing this combination, harking back to my angsty teenage days! In these pics however, I added a bit of a Breton stripe-inspired dress (missing my holiday clearly) and a somewhat groomed ponytail - it just adds a bit of bling to an otherwise plain outfit and I adore it! I'm already looking forward to rocking it with some cosy jumpers, peeping out under a cowl neck or under a scarf...let's be honest, those days are soon to be upon us!

What's your go-to accessory this autumn?

Love Dani
