Individually Different , Creative , Fun and Beautiful Jewellery from My Flash Trash

1.
 

I have always been a fan of My Flash Trash's  jewellery . It's distinct , uncommon ,unique and original pieces are what first hooked me to the brand .

I was recently looking through the website when I saw an online treasure trove of must have jewellery pieces that you should really take a look at .



2.
 

Here are some of my absolute favourites....

1.  Eclipse
This beautiful dark silver crystal ring is full of mystery yet perfectly simple and that is why I adore it.

2. Amethyst Crystal power necklace
Staying with the crystals I think that this jagged piece of crystal is edgy yet still entirely feminine .



3.
 

3. My Flash Trash also sell accessories like iPhone cases this is my personal favourite because its deep hearted and a little reminder everytime you look at your phone of rummage through your handbag what you really want in life .

4. The Jewelled Petal Collar
This chic , exquisite collar is perfect for A/W as its  colourful petal shape glass gem stones are in seasonal shades and it would look great with nearly every low key outfit .

The Low Backed Dress , YAY or NAY

The Low Back on a dress or top make or break an outfit . To be honest I think that they can look stunning , tasteful and chic but if they go the other way they can just look awful . To wear them I think that you need very good posture and small waistline as if not they can be very unflattering.

Do you think that there is such a thing as a beautiful back ?
It's not something most people really think about in day to day life . However I think that a beautiful back is subtly sexy and striking . And for day to day wear its really nice in interesting shapes and cuts . I particularly like this black maxi dress from ASOS .

I have noticed quite a few Low Backs around this season and I think that we will see them more and more as the season progresses into Winter.




ASOS

 

This dress is absolutely gorgeous and one of the most complicated high-street 'cut' designs I have ever seen . I love the whole black and white theme of the dress . The thin stripes and specks of black are a nice touch.  It is really unique how the straps on the left and right wrap around her body, which is flattering to her body. The revealing, yet intricate cuts on the back of this Low cut dress make this a YAY for me ! What about you ?
