I think now that the weather is getting warmer it's a good time to start focusing on jewelry.

During the winter you're basically covering your arms and hands every day so there's really no point in wearing loads of bracelets or rings. But in the spring/summer when it's too hot to layer all your can really work with is your accessories. I'm trying to think ahead this year so I'm slowly building up my collection of pieces I'll want to wear every day.

Of course the tough part about this for those of us on a budget is finding pieces that are affordable but not 'cheap' looking. A great alternative to your super affordable F21 or H&M finds is to look out for independent jewelry designers. Their pieces are really unique and often one of a kind. On that note I'd like to introduce LEVITICUS JEWELRY.

The pieces on this site are handmade and designed by Tara Levitin. They come with really great witty names and a lot of them incorporate antique materials. The necklace I have on is called Chivalry and has a little dagger next to a crest. A lot of these are affordable even by my standards and I love the asymmetry and drape of the pieces. Some other favorites:
