So we’ve a credit crunch on the go and apparently it’s now de rigeur to treat oneself to a new lipstick - rather than a posh new outfit, designer handbag or the like. (Sales of lipsticks, and other cosmetics, are often seen as an indicator of economic decline and sales of L’Oreal products are up year on year.) So… I’m thinking if a lipstick is okay as a treat, why not a pair of chandelier earrings as seen on Kate Moss at Leah Wood’s wedding recently? Well you would wouldn’t you? These ASOS Cut-out Detail and Metal Disc Drop earrings, £8 at ASOS.com, have ‘credit crunch treat’ written all over them.
