JEWELS AND GEMS FOR UNDER $158.

We all know diamonds are a girl's best friend... even though in my case it's nutella.. or ice cream.. or NUTELLA ICE CREAM! Anywhales, for all of those fine ladies who can't always afford diamonds (80% of us I'd say haha) there's always JEWELS AND GEMS. I actually love jewels and gems a lot more than diamonds (lol @ me acting like I have diamonds) because you can wear them EVERYWHERE. Now, some of these lovely pieces aren't even real jewels, come on now, we're on a budget here but I absolutely love them. These pieces can zoosh up an outfit and turn a plain coloured tee, jeans and heels into fashion! (Zoosh is an actual* word for those of you playing at home...but not really). I've searched the web for fabulicious necklaces that are all under $158! You can implement these pieces into your outfit in hundreds of ways especially when wearing tee's, sweatshirts, collared shirts etc, etc. (I love how I could only think of three haha!).

I also created another list of jewels and gems that are over $160 which I might just post later on in life. So here are the fabulicious necklaces for under $158!

I. Flash Trash Girl Diamanté Necklace available here
II. ASOS Midnight Bug Necklace available here
III. Shourouk Small Emerald Necklace available here
IV. Krystal Swarovski Small Square Drop Necklace available here
V. Flash Trash Girl Rainbow Necklace available here
VI. 8 Other Reasons Million Dollar Baby Necklace available here

VIII. Krystal Swarovski Square Necklace available here
IX. Forever New Ania Stone Feature Bib available here
X. Sugar Spice Necklace in Mint available here

I know you are all wondering why isn't this post "under $100" like how normal people would do it. Well, stupido right here didn't realise that the Shourouk necklace was priced in pounds not dollars. Damn you Shourouk and your random prices! Lol. So I had to change it from $100 to $158. Faiiiiil Christian Baleeee. (yes, you heard that here first haha).

Aiiiiiight dawgy dawgs, I'm out.

Much love,
Maya.




*By actual I mean confirmed by Urban Dictionary hahaha!

P.S. I just thought of other fail sayings. Fail ginger ale. Fail you look pale. Fail I like to eat kale. Fail when did I get a tail. Fail why didn't I get any mail. Fail ..Ok I'll stop, my bad lol.

METALLIC LURVE..

*breaks out into song* Oh we are living.. in a metallic world, and I am a metallic girrrrrl.

Best. Remix. Ever.

Sooooooo, it's a bit obvious what this next post is about.. NUTELLA. No seriously, nutella is the bomb shizznit. It's probably one of the only things you can eat off a spoon without STOPPING. Besides ice cream, yoghurt.. aaaand any other dessert. Ok full rambling right now about nutella which is quite sad but honestly I love nutella, nutella is probably the closest thing I have to a significant other........*longest pause in the history of pauses* wow, shit just got depressing hahaha.

All jokes aside (but really, not joking.. at all), let's get to the real reason for this post.. METALLICS!

Guuuuurl, I love me some metallics. It reminds me of the good old days when I used to turf, krump and jerk back in the 90's.... Ok back then it was probably called "rolling around" since I was only 5 years old but shit, what do my parents know.

I suppose the metallic trend isn't for everyone but it sure is for me. I love the hint of funk metallics give to an outfit, it makes your outfit pop and edgy.

Here are some of my favs. Ok keep in mind there are a few items here that I will NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD because that shit is expensive but hey, eye candy doesn't hurt anyone. Unless that eye candy is carrying a gun, which in that case.. RUN FORREST RUN!

II. The Dimepiece 5 Panel Zodiac Hat in Blue Buy here
III. Deepa Gurnani Spiked Bracelet Buy here
IV. Swarovski Tangara Necklace [YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUUUUL TO MEEEE] Buy here

 Man, this is one wish list I will probably grant myself in 15 years.. Dammmmn lol.

P.S. Fools, you have to do this..
Count how many times this post has the word `shit` in it.
Then say that word out loud and listen carefully to the way you say it.
Then say it backwards.
Then take away the letter T and say the final word.

Yep, totally did that for no reason hahaha.

Much lurve,
Maya.

DO IT LIKE A DUDE..

A COOL dude.

Ok first and foremost, I don't like that song at all hahaha (for those of you who have no idea what song I'm talking about it's Jessie J - Do It Like A Dude) but I thought it would fit perfectly with this next post. I am in love with this trend, it's been around for a while and has sort of ALWAYS been around. I don't even know what to call it, I'm just going to call it "Cool Dude" trend. But really, I think it's a mix between boyfriend trend and hip hop fashion . You know, boyfriend jeans, sweatshirts, beanies, timberland's, yep the lot. I think this trend is extremely popular because of our ever growing love for the hip hop culture and let's face it.. just looks cool as a mother hugger! So why is "Cool Dude" trend the best thing ever right now? (right now as in autumn and winter)

1. It's super comfortable.
You know those days where you wish you could just wear anything sized XXXL. Well my lady, you can! Cool Dude trend allows you to be fashionable yet comfortable and we all know comfort isn't a word the fashion industry is familiar with lol.

2. You're officially a cool dude.
As soon as someone sees you with a beanie, sweatshirt, boyfriend jeans and kicks, you look pretty damn cool. Now, this coolness can be suddenly vaporized from your style IF you wear things with "Swag" or "Yolo" printed on it. You don't need lame acronyms to make yourself look cool. You're already a cool dude.

3. Wear HEELS for a touch of sass.
Oh lawdy lawd, I love when a strapped heel is thrown into the mixer. This just takes your whole look and turns it into ANOTHER look.

4. Rihanna.
Ok, usually I don't like to talk about celebrities because I don't like to idolize them (geez, that sounded harsh haha) but Rihanna has this "Cool Dude" style down pat.  You can look to her outfits if you need some inspiration.

Here are some of my fav pieces perfect for autumn and winter.

1. Top Shop Skater Rib Beanie in Bright Orange Buy here
2. ASOS Faux Leather Cap Buy here
3. Dime Piece Ain't No Wifey Beanie Buy here
4. Dime Piece Oh Shit Beanie Buy here
5. Top Shop Jersey Varsity A Bomber Jacket Buy here
6. ASOS Brandy Slim Boyfriend Jeans in Bleach Wash Buy here
7. River Island Beige Leather Look Sleeve Bomber Jacket Buy here
8. Timberland Premium Work Boot Buy here
9. Nasty Gal Awesome Shredded Jeans Buy here
10. Nasty Gal Metal Bar Necklace Gold Buy here
11. Burke Platform Heel Buy here

Peace dawg,
Maya.

(Lol @ me just doing that. I should probably warn you all there may be some side effects when owning the cool dude trend. Some of these include saying words like "Na' mean", "Whattup" and sometimes walking with a limp or smoking in slow motion even though you may not smoke, be warned. Lol)
