Pearl Jewellery

Another accessories post for you all. I love luxury pearl jewellery, there’s something timeless and elegant about it. A lot of people opt for fake pearl jewellery but there’s something really special about wearing a pearl necklace and knowing it’s genuine.

I find pearls look particularly stunning with a 50s-style dress and are a perfect way to glam up a formal outfit.

Tahitian pearls are particularly stunning variety that comes in some beautiful dark shades. I particularly love these grey pearls on this bracelet.

Another way to add instant, timeless glamour to an outfit is with a pair of pearl earrings. Just sweep your hair back and pin it up to show off the jewellery.

My treasured pearl necklace came from the antiques section of a bed and breakfast in Indiana when I travelled around the USA.

The last goodbye – America

Ben and I finally ordered our photo album of the trip. It’s 70 pages long and I can’t wait to see it. Right now I’m a mess of emotions over this. That trip was honestly the best two weeks of my life. But now I’ve decided to make every day as good as each of those days. Starting with showing you all the last lot of photography from the trip.

You’ve seen up to Wellsboro so please have NYC to Chicago. Once you’ve looked through, please comment. Tell me what you thought or if you’ve ever been on a spectacular trip!
