TREND UPDATE: Chunky Chains and Ball Bangles
The transitional period from Winter to Spring is an exciting time for many reasons, predominantly because with our entry into March comes the promise of brighter days and even British Summertime as the clocks change to adapt to all that daylight we're getting. However when it comes to fashion, the transition can be much trickier. Shedding that cosy Winter coat is a risky game, and don't even get us started on the tights/no tights dilemma. The good news is that at least your jewellery can be carried through the seasons, and a couple of carefully chosen pieces can be just the...
AUTUMN ACCESSORIES | NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
It seems almost criminal to be thinking about Autumn/Winter 2015 when we're still yet to enjoy the promise of sunshine, tan lines and pool parties due in the coming months - but New York Fashion Week rules, and this week it's forced us to forecast way ahead of schedule. With this in mind, Anna Lou's been keeping a watchful eye on the AW '15 catwalks to bring you the best of Autumn Accessories rounded up from NYFW's various shows, and her top tips to get the look now! 1. OVERSIZED EARRINGS At Rosie Assoulin, bigger was better - contrasting simple,...
INSPIRATIONAL JEWELLERY
There’s a reason why you’re likely to feel the post-Christmas blues in February. The weather usually reaches its most freezing lows; monotonous daily routine is finally called back into service; you’re feeling disheartened after breaking almost all of your New Year’s resolutions already; and, of course, January sales are well and truly over (sniff). All of this can leave you feeling a little down in the dumps, and frankly we’re not surprised – but that doesn’t mean you should put up with it. It’s time to get proactive, re-energize and start to feel the motivation with some of Anna Lou’s...
TREND: BOLD FLORALS
Spring is on the horizon (honest!), and with the promise of longer days and warmer temperatures comes a new set of style rules - helping to make the transition from Winter's cosy cocoon of coats and tights just a little more exciting. As is typical of Spring fashion, catwalks have been decorated with floral fancies - except this time they're packing more of a punch. Yep, for S/S '15 it's all about bold florals. Think vibrance. Think colour. Think bold and busy patterns reminiscent of Liberty London and 70s styling. Whether it's a tropical explosion or a vintage smattering, the rule of...
TREND: 70s ACCESSORIES
Book the appointment for that feather cut, order those flares and dig out your lava lamp: it’s time to channel your inner Farrah Fawcett and time hop back to the 1970s. In an era totally focussed on peace and love, the female wardrobe reflected Britain’s newly-acquired laid back attitude. It-girls would opt for comfortable-yet-chic bell bottoms, floppy Fedora hats, midi dresses and Birkenstocks, to achieve an undone, naturally beautiful look. By night 70s disco rules applied - with mini skirts in vibrant patterns, giant statement jewellery, and knee high boots. Fast-forward 40 years, and the 70s trend is back for...
TREND: OVERSIZED HAIR ACCESSORIES
Oversized hair accessories are big news for S/S15. Oversized hair accessories, more specifically bows were spotted decorating the locks of models in numerous catwalks from Moschino, Ohne Titel to Betsey Johnson. From the true to life florals to abstract leather crafts to bows, this trend shows no boundaries, with imagination going into overdrive. Now, I don’t know about you, but oversized bows remind me of my playground days when there was simply no uniform rules to obey and the bigger the better. Admittedly oversized hair accessories can be tricky to pull off on a day to day basis especially when you’re...
