Beamon Me Up, Scotty

I usually don't need an excuse to wear excessive bling or decorate myself in unnecessarily lavish earrings and necklaces. I would wear my Nan's huge multi-strand antique black beaded necklace everyday on the way to work on the tube if it didn't invite such suspicious looks. Now that Christmas is (scarily!) just around the corner it's the perfect time to pick up some of the amazingly gorgeous pieces from Erickson Beamon.

The designs are just the right combination of vintage and modern and they have the ability to bring any outfit together and make it feel festive and glamorous. The versatility of the pieces mean that they will look just as good with jeans and a T-shirt as they do with an evening gown. I also love that Erickson Beamon uses gold, silver and other bronze and rose tones in the same piece making them wearable with all your other jewellery at the same time (a current obsession I'm having) so you don't have to forgo wearing a certain piece if it doesn't match with other tones you're wearing. In other words, you don't have to stick to being strictly a "gold" or "silver" girl. I know what will definitely be on my list to Santa this year.
