Recently, I have been noticing more and more shops starting to sell statement necklaces, from ones with thick chains to ones with colourful jewels. 

For me a statement necklace can turn any outfit from a day wear to night wear. I seem to be pairing my statement necklaces with a white shirt, black jeans and nude heels. 

I picked some of the most common shapes and coloured statement necklaces I have come across in the shops over the last month. I have been really liking the Zara necklaces with their funky shaped jewels and dark chains. 

Topshop have a large gold based selection, and as a massive fan of gold, I instantly fell in love. The use of animals in their range is a massive hit ( the eagle necklace). 

But I think my favourite statement necklace is the gold chain. I have been searching all over the shops for a gold chain and it has taken me around 1 month to find the perfect one. The prices for the gold chain vary a lot in the shops, I managed to pick one up for £4.50 from New Look, which seemed to be the cheapest I could find, that was everything I was looking for. I find the gold chain reminds me of the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West and like power. 

Overall, the statement necklace is my latest love, and it will be for a long time, probably till I start university.

Conor Maynard + M.O Music

Hey Hey,

Hope you are all well. So around 2 weeks ago now, I was lucky enough to get two tickets to the MasterCard Presents: Conor Maynard gig. The small show took place at Under the Bridge in Fulham, it is located under Chelsea football teams home ground of Stamford Bridge.

The venue was very pretty, you walked in to small booths located at the edge of the venue with a large open spaced area in the middle. When we arrived the DJ was playing and drinks and food was being served so me and my cousin ( who I took with me ) decided to grab a place next to the booths. The booths had been saved for the VIP guests and it was nice to be mingling with some stars.

So the very first act to perform were M.O Music. Before the gig I had heard some of their tracks like Wait your Turn and Aint got Time.  M.O. Music have been said to resemble the 90's girl groups like TLC, and that is not a lie, however they put a 2013 twist on things. It was very nice to see the girls perform live, and might I say they wee pretty amazing. Their quirky style mixed with their strong vocals and fierce stage presence, seems to be a combination for success. The girls managed to get the party started with their fun beats and dance moves.



 After M.O Music, Conor Maynard hit the stage performing some of his well known tracks like Turn Around, Vegas Girl, Can't Say No and Animal. Alongside these Conor performed some of his album tracks like Glass Girl etc. Conor's singing career started on the famous Youtube and to stay true to his early days he done two covers ; Get Lucky and Starships.

It was nice to see someone as young as Conor Maynard getting the crowd jumping and having a good time, the set was full of a good mix of slow and fast tempo songs.

Overall, both acts performed to a very high standard and it was nice to see some of the UK's finest talent performing.
