Wedding Fever...
Ever since our fave celeb couple Kimye got engaged in the most extravagant proposal we’ve seen in Celebville for years, we can’t help but get wedding fever and just come over all giddy at the thought of their big day! If the engagement is anything to go by (NFL pitch, brass band, film crew) then we are in for a reality show treat when the day itself comes. Of course not every bride dreams of a wedding this extreme but we can definitely take some tips from the celebs when it comes to planning our own weddings. If you too...
Celebrate Bonfire Night with all things Sparkly!
Image source here Happy Bonfire night folks! Although we can't quite believe it's the 5th November already we do love a good celebration and bonfire night is no different. Seeing as tonight fireworks will be going off and sparklers will be donned in honour of Guy Fawkes, we thought we'd do our own tribute to all things sparkly - sparkly jewellery of course! With the party season upon us and bonfire night the first truly wintery event of the calendar, we figured it was time to set out sights on those coveted items that shine and sparkle their way into...
Trend: March into Winter with Modern Military
If you cite Cara Delevigne and Pixie Geldof as your style icons then this one may be for you - the modern military look is marching into focus this Winter and with a much more grungy approach than previously seen last year.

Well we are glad you asked as here at Anna Lou of London this is actually one of our favourite AW trends jewellery wise. Think hardwearing leather, khaki green colours and layered necklaces and...
Guest Post: Sugar & Spice Explains The Art Of Layering Jewellery
Time for another guest post? We thought so too. Last week you heard Anna's tips to layering your necklaces but now we have also asked Emily Knightly, blogger at Sugar & Spice to tell us how she wears her jewels. Take it away Emily... At a time when statement necklaces have never been bigger, both in size and popularity, there is never a better time to learn the art of layering jewellery. They say, less is more. But is it? Sometimes I'm happy to throw on a simple delicate necklace and be done. I have a special necklace, bought for...
Everyone's Wearing... Rose Gold Jewellery
As the Winter draws in, the jewellery trends tend to change for the colder months and we always find that as the weather gets colder the jewellery gets warmer. Rose gold jewellery in particular tends to be the easiest metal shade to rock come Winter. Perhaps it's because it compliments all skin tones, warms up even the coldest, palest of faces and brightens an outfit. Perhaps it's because wearing it gives a rosy glow that silver and gold don't achieve, or perhaps we all just need to look at the world through rose tinted glasses to get us through a...
