Bejewel Your Christmas

Tis, the season to put your wallflower tendencies to bed, and if diamonds in your stockings are a pipe dream this Christmas, treat yourself to some luscious rubies, emeralds and sparkling sapphires. You don’t have to be Kate Middy aka Duchess of Cambridge to rock a show stopping sapphire, semi precious gems are guaranteed to add a pop of opulence to any outfit.  Get the look with our Lucky Stars Seraphina Collection.


















We love the latest jewel toned necklaces and chandelier earrings to hit the trend circuit this season. Work them from day to play by adding a statement necklace to a plunging neckline a la Nicole Richie, or dramatic earrings in deep emerald to add class to an evening look. With so many tones to choose from, make the look yours and get ready to sharpen those elbows- these gems are highly coveted.

COLOUR ME LOUD

Blame it on Katy Perry’s knockout neons in her head-turning US Elle cover, or Gucci’s statement making separates shimmying down their S/S 11’ runways- neon colour blocking is about to explode on fashion radars as the temperature gets frisky.



Like all good trends, it hasn’t taken long for celebs to go to town on colour blocking. Everyone from Camille Belle, Cheryl Cole, and Rihanna has been spotted in day-glow inspired apparel. While these ladies don the look head to toe, neon accessories let you dip your toe in the colour-blocked trend without looking like Rainbow Brite.




Just in, our gorjana leather wraps are so cool they’re collecting frost. These tempting hues offer the perfect neon accents to instantly update your spring wardrobe. The sugar sweet pops of colour tone in with your monochrome separates, or for expert stylists, coordinate with matching shades from your primary school colour wheel. Think: pink wrap with a yellow separate? Top of the class!





Experimenting with pops of colour is a playful way to make a huge impact. Serious aficionados should team opposing hues like plum accessories with racy red apparel, and sea blue leather with lush purple. For a safer bet, neon makes black new again, just ask Olivia Palermo who incorporates neon colour blocking into her staple uniform of black.




Whether you decide to arm yourself with one or two leather neons to give a nod to the trend, or, like your outfit loud to match your arm candy, you’ll be ahead of the fashion curve come Sunday.

Stylish Cities - Barcelona

They may have a killer football team but it’s the stylish senoritas that reside in this sun soaked city that have us smitten. These mavens know that accessories are the chic-est route to a wardrobe overhaul whatever your inclination. Here we’ve pinpointed one Barcelona blogger to take us through the trends.

 Lesson one: Chunky chain detail makes the perfect gold accent to refresh a basic colour palette. Throw on a chain link necklace, matching belt and this season’s metallic flats for a molten hot look.









Lesson two: Add a prize-worthy plume to your look with feather detail, while matching your polish to your accessories is sure to earn you extra fashion mileage.









Last but not least, jewel toned bracelets give a dose of colour therapy for an instant hit of happiness. Try rocking a string of semi precious gems- we guarantee you’ll be using any excuse to show off your arm candy.




 




Still not convinced of the pulling power of accessories?

Get Ready For The Spring Racing Season!

We can’t guarantee you’ll pick a winner this race day but our guide to accessories will ensure you a victory lap in the style stakes. Following fashion directives from these style savants will get you papped with the right posse whether you’re hitting up the marquees or mingling with the masses at Lawn party.







Ground dramatic pieces with delicate necklaces a la Georgia Jagger and Lara Bingle, both fans of short line chains that add a touch of elegance to opulent fabrics. Add a plain gold accent over a deep plunging neckline, or add an element of intrigue with classic beading.









A Lady who needs no excuse to look regal, trend-spawning Pippa Middleton’s look pairs jewel tones and lace overlay, offset by statement drop earrings that offer a face-framing alternative to a neckpiece. Match your envelope clutch to your outfit for a polished finish.









Ditch the customary fascinator and make like model Jesse Hart, who elects for a Parisian-chic wide brimmed hat that complements her head wrap. Add gloves for a glamorous touch and you’ve got the makings of a perfect trifecta Brigitte Bardot would approve of.

Accessory Report: Alex Chung

Whether you're a trendsetter or traditionalist, taking notes from Alexa Chung's guide to style will ensure you lift your fashion game without the need to renivest in an entire new wardrobe. Her covetable choice of statement neck attire makes for a key styling choice to liven up an otherwise basic palette, and adds interest to create a look that transitions from day to play without skipping a fashion beat.




Make like Alexa and use long line pendant necklaces to elevate your look and add personal flair for every occasion. To channel an edgier evening vibe, layer experimental pieces and bring on the bling to give definition to the most simple silhouettes.





Feminine dressing more your niche? Give a girly look some street cred by working tough motifs from skulls to crosses a la Rihanna into your style repetoire.




Avoid going OTT with acessories and keep the rest of your jewellery minimalistic. Whatever your penchant for pendants, let your personality shine through and don't be afraid to switch it up as often as your mood changes.

Rose Byrne was spotted outside the Dave Letterman show wearing a gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana animal print.  Long sleeved minis are hot right now and we are loving the deep green!  Such a bold look needs minimal accessories and the actress has chosen a small gold charm necklace to add some subtle bling.
