All Ears on Ear Cuffs

Cuffs are no longer something that you wear on your way to prison ... Instead it is The Earring to have for Spring 2013 — and the more peculiar, the better...

Combining the ostentatious glitz and glamour of Elizabeth Taylor’s treasures with a hint of Lisbeth Salander's rebellion, the ear cuff’s appeal lies as much in its sculptural beauty as in its practical impermanence.

Love them or Hate them, but Ear cuffs are shaping up to be the standout adornment for spring. The best Part is: Unlike piercings, the only scar this adornment might leave is on your wallet.

Necklaces with Statements


I LOVE how a Statement Necklace can make a plain outfit Pop with Personality. The Good News is: This trend is going to stick around for a few seasons to come ...


What is a Statement Necklace?

It is a Flamboyant Accessory worn around the Neck that is Bold yet Elegant. It can be made of Various Materials like Fabrics, Metals, Ropes, Buttons and Beads which can be used on their own, or combined, to create Beautiful Pieces of Jewellery. 


Benefits of Statement Necklaces
  • It's a Quick and Cheap way to 'Jazz-up' Plain and Boring Clothes.
  • There are many Designs and Styles to choose from, so everyone will be able to find something they like. 
  • Because they are so Versatile, they can be worn at daytime for a Girls Lunch or in the Evening for an Night Out on the Town. 
  • Apart from Basic Geometric Shapes, you can consider Trendy shapes using Mixed Media, large symbol shape and oversized necklace shapes.

Tips:

  • You need to opt for a Design and Style that matches the rest of your outfit.
  • If it is the first time you are attempting to wear a Statement Necklace, keep your clothes as plain as possible (in terms of prints), so that your necklace is the Point of Focus, until you feel more confident in Pairing Statement Necklaces and Prints.
  • However, if the colour of your necklace it a solid tone i.e. black, feel free to incorporate prints into your outfit.

This is really Chic!

'Studs' for 2012 ...

... I'm not talking about the 'Jake Gylenhall's' or 'Robert Downey Jnr's' of the world but rather the Small Metal Embellishments.




Studs are a big Trend this season, seen everywhere from Clothes, Shoes and Bags (to name a few) ...



Despite Studs being associated with the Rock 'n Roll and Punk genre, they look just as lovely on pastel colours as they do on black. It's the juxtaposition of the hard metal with the soft pastel that I love most! Versace combined this really well in their Summer 2012 collection (below).
