I love Wednesdays just about as much as I love people who call Wednesdays “hump day”, so this morning I’m cheering myself up with the under $20 jewellery sale at Ella Bleau.

There’s a decent range of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces reduced across the site, with no sale item priced at more than $20.

Take for example this pearl and diamond pendant, which is going for just $10. They may only be simulated diamonds, but that’s a real freshwater pearl so it’s great value for money.

(Don’t forget to factor in shipping.)

You know I like a cheap and cheerful buy to celebrate Friday, and Diva is an invaluable source when it comes to cheap and cheerful.

So if you’re near a Diva store today, I suggest heading in to pick up a pair of these peacock feather earrings, which will only set you back $13 (if you’re prepared to wait, you can also order them online).

These babies are obviously a bit of a statement piece so I think they’d work best with the rest of your outfit toned right down - such as basic black.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time (and I haven’t yet driven you away with my incessant blathering), you will know there are two things in this world I can’t resist:

1. A good pair of shoes with heels high enough to break your ankles, and
2. OTT cocktail rings that make people say “what the hell is that growing on your finger”.

So it should come as no surprise to hear that I just purchased this Holly Jones Queen Bee ring, which fulfills all my key criteria for a ring (large, flashy and shaped like an animal). I don’t feel too guilty about this purchase because it’s reduced to $20 from $99, so really it would have been foolish of me NOT to buy it (you would be surprised by the number of ways I can find to justify any purchase).

The site has some gorgeous pieces including earrings, necklaces and bracelets in the sale section, so make sure you check those out while you’re at it.

If you ask me, cufflinks aren’t just for blokes - they’re also a great look for women working in a corporate environment.

Paired with a nice French cuff shirt, the right cufflink looks absolutely fantastic.

Unfortunately, some cufflinks do tend to be on the expensive side, so if you have $100 to spare today, you can pick up seven pairs for $100 from The Cuff Shop. Pairs of cufflinks usually go for $30 each on the site, so you’ll be saving yourself a whopping $110.

The offer is valid for today only and will automatically be applied at the checkout.

If you like your cocktail rings with a hefty dose of the extravagant (and really, there is no other way to have them), then you’ll love the StudioLeanne Etsy store.

These unique statement rings are the work of a Melbourne-based designer, who works with glass and ceramic to create beautiful one-off pieces.

Prices aren’t too bad either - most of the rings are around the $30 mark, plus shipping.

The Spirals and Swirls cocktail ring is my favourite of the collection, selling for a very reasonable $25.

Just a quick note to let you know that Peeptoe Shoes is having another sale, both online and in-store.

Prices on selected shoes, accessories and jewellery are cut by up to 50%, and there are some nice items amongst the collection.

I like the Miss Harbour Bridge heels, which are marked down to $100. The interesting cut-out detail on the front and purple sole saves them from being another boring black shoe.

A very special treat for Lasoo members this morning - an exclusive discount code for Aussie shopping site FOUND Boutique.

FOUND Boutique is a handy site that stocks clothing, accessories, jewellery and homewares from some fantastic international and local brands, including CC Skye (LOVE their jewellery), Kitson LA, Sass clothing, Sheridan and more.

I’m loving these Slip silk pillowcases, which are apparently one of the site’s biggest sellers, and here’s why: silk is fantastic to sleep on for both your skin and your hair.

They usually sell for $45, but with your discount you’ll pick one up for $40.

Plus, if you haven’t entered already, don’t forget about our competition to win a CC SKYE Black Monaco Enamel Deco Bangle, valued at $149.95.

It’s nice to end the week with something cheap and cheerful, and these Cookie Monster earrings fit the bill nicely.

You can pick them up for just $5.99 from your local Diva store, or otherwise buy them online. Either way, they’re sure to cheer you up during the dark days of winter.

Diva actually has a whole range of Sesame Street jewellery at the moment, featuring the likes of Elmo, Big Bird and Bert & Ernie. I have to say though that Cookie Monster was always my favourite, because he was always so loud and proud about his love of cookies.

Incidentally, Diva is having another one of its famous in-store sales, so you’ll be able to pick up some bargains from as little as $3 while you’re there.

More good news for bargain hunters this morning - jewellery site Hollywood Style is once again having a clearance sale, and prices start from $5.

Hollywood Style sells some fantastic costume jewellery, including cocktail rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and more.

It’s an invaluable site for anyone who loves diamonds and other jewels, but can’t afford the real deal.

Don’t forget to stop by the under $10 section for some real bargains.

I was wandering around some of the fashion week stands towards the end of last week and stumbled across a jewellery collection that is set to become a favourite.

Lydia Jewels is the handiwork of Australian designer and stylist Lydia-Jane Saunders, and the collection offers pieces that are both gorgeous and affordable. Each piece of jewellery is crafted by hand in her Sydney studio.

You can buy the collection both online and in selected boutiques around Sydney. I love these Lisa black flower crystal earrings from the Jewel of the Night collection, which are very art deco and quite reasonably priced at $55.
