Chain Reaction

So today I found a pile of earrings I had from my first year in secondary school, you name it I had it in earring form! Monkeys, shoes, cake, buttons you name it I had it! And at the time I wasn't out of place, Weird earrings were somewhat in style with girls my age anyway and this got me thinking of how much jewellery has changed from year to year. Long gone are the days of jewellery just being the simple necklace, ring, bracelet and earrings . Last year saw everyone wearing hand and ring chains, and ear cuffs , combining the classics has become very popular. Rihanna has recently been seen rocking the body chain on a number of occasions and as usual what Rihanna does the rest of us eventually follow, and its not just Rihanna, Beyonce, Emma Roberts and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have also rocked the trend. And now thanks to our trusty high street stores so can we.

 




And yes I know in most of those pictures the chains are worn with bikinis or crop tops and that as we are in Autumn it is not the ideal way to wear the chains but as you can see from the picture of Emma Roberts it is possible to wear them with clothes. They are the perfect decoration for a simple plain top or dress. They are available in almost every highstreet and online store.River Island, New Look , Asos, Misguided to name a few.

Body chains are not the only form of chain appearing in shops. Missguided have a new leg chain available to accessorize skirts. I personally like the idea of a leg chain but again it may not before everyone.

And the chains dont just stop with body and legs. Gone are the days with hats. Hair and head jewellery are also on the rise. Last year the ombre boho hair was very popular along with middle partings and now this hair style can be decorated with the hippy boho style head chains. Its the perfect way to hide forehead blemishes!
