  • GRAZIA Style Awards 2015: Sophie’s Closet Wins BEST REGIONAL ACCESSORY BRAND

    GRAZIA Style Awards 2015: Sophie’s Closet Wins BEST REGIONAL ACCESSORY BRAND

    The glitterati’s were dressed to impress last night in their most glamorous dresses and jewels galore! We arrived at the Dubai JW Marriott Marquis in time for a quick snap for the paparazzi, it was the night we’ve been waiting for all year… The tenth annual Grazia Style Awards 2015!

    We started the night off with cocktails and lots of chatting to all the nominated designers, bloggers, brands and fashion influencers in the region. Sooner than we knew it was time for us to sit for dinner and let the award show commence…

    And the winner is… SOPHIE’S CLOSET!!! We couldn’t believe it, again? This year we were awarded ‘BEST REGIONAL ACCESSORY BRAND 2015.’ (You can read our blog post about last year’s event here)

    In sheer shock we walked up onto the stage to collect our award for a second year in a row. With Sophie still in shock, the Grazia team attempted to ask her a few questions. We wouldn’t be taken aback if we see in next weeks Grazia Magazine; a speech bubble next to Sophie with “errrrrr errrrm hmmm ahhh, I’m just in shock!’

    For now what we can say is a huge THANK YOU to all those who voted for us to win. In return we would like to gift you with a little something. Simply enter the code: GRAZIA15 at checkout and receive 15% off your order!*

  • ASYMMETRICAL EARRINGS: The One Sided Autumn Ear Trend

    ASYMMETRICAL EARRINGS: The One Sided Autumn Ear Trend

    Have you heard? This season’s sensational earring trend sweeping through the style elite is mismatched earrings. Red carpet looks everywhere are being topped off with finishing touches that scream glamour infused with sheer contemporary coolness. By teaming different length drops or a statement-making earring alongside a simple sparkling stud, you’re bringing your look up-to-the-moment with true minimal effort.

    This one-sided earring obsession is one that can be achieved a multitude of ways. Our recent favorite celebrity spots have been the following:

    CUFFS & STUDS

    The ever-glamorous Rihanna always knows how to don a top trend, so it’s no surprise that she’s been captured with an ear lobe full of silver open cuffs and a pearl-ended stud and spike on the other ear.

    Rihanna Asymmetrical Earrings

    Miley Cyrus chose a safety pin and four cuffs on one ear, with a different mix of studs and cuffs for the other, meanwhile sexy siren Jennifer Lawrence kept her look sparkly with a jewel encrusted ear cuff combined with a simple stud, her hair up and finished with vampish rouge lipstick.

    'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Paris Premiere At Le Grand Rex

    Jessica Alba achieved effortlessly understated chic by complementing her wavy long hair and strapless dress with her asymmetrical additions.

    To get the look for yourself, Sophie’s Closet have an abundance of cuff and stud options from Joanna Laura Constantine…

    STUDS & DROPS

    Emma Watson was recently sited enhancing her formal LBD with a simple yet oh-so-effective bullet-style drop, Angelina Jolie teamed her up-do with a smart jacket and statement jewel earring, allowing her jewelry to offer all the style statement to her ensemble, and Emma Roberts keeps it sharp and edgy with stud style asymmetric earrings in gorgeous gold.

    Gwyneth Paltrow always knows how to perfect girl next door prettiness with a twist of something stunning. Her simple stud is accompanied by a silver, elaborate drop style statement earring – very vintage-chic whist sporting a modern trend too.

    Gywenth Paltrow

    Diana Kruger’s stud and leaf-style drop will work for daytime drama or evening elegance alike.

    Get the look with Sophie’s Closet’s Dannijo Bella earrings, Lulu Frost’s Dada earrings and Erickson Beamon…

    LONG & SHORT DROPS

    The final way we’ve seen the asymmetrical ear trend in action is on Vanessa Hudgens’ gold leaf-inspired drops that offset her gold and black dress. We love the hair styled up as it adds further to the dramatic effect finish.
