    Turtle Neckline with a Pendant Necklace

    With a turtleneck long necklaces work well, opt for a chain with a statement pendant or multiple chains for more impact.

    Soft V Neckline with a V Drop Necklace

    A V-shaped neckline works best with a V-shape necklace. Try different length necklaces to see what works best, but never go longer than the neckline itself.

  • HOW TO: Stack Bracelets

    HOW TO: Stack Bracelets

    Adoring your arm with a stack full of bangles is once again a major top trend. Stacking bangles is an art form, requiring a perfect mix of colours, textures and various size bracelets and bangles.
    Blake Lively 
    Drew Barrymore
    Olivia Palermo
     
    To get your arms looking as beautiful as Drew, Olivia & co, just follow our guide on how to stack your arm candy in the most stylish way:
    1. Odd numbers are more visually appealing, so start with just three or five bangles. Wear more if you feel comfortable to gain maximum impact.
    2.Keep to the same shades or styles i.e. all gold. Crystals are a neutral and can be worn with whites or silvers.
    Sarah Jessica Parker
    3.Pick a theme and stick to it! (For example; edgy, preppy or ethnic.) An edgy spike bracelet will look out of place alongside a tribal friendship bracelet.
    Heidi Klum
    4. Consider the fit of your bracelets. Bangles with a larger circumference will sit lower on the wrist and fall over smaller sized bracelets. Keep to similar sizes for a clearer, more streamlined look.  
    5. Start with the largest, boldest or widest bracelet toward your elbow and add smaller bracelets as you move towards your wrist. (Sometimes this rule can be broken by making the SECOND TO THE TOP bracelet the biggest instead of the first.) See what suits your arms best.

    6. Watches can also be added to your stacking selection – just follow the rules above and ensure the size and colour complements your bracelets.
    7. It’s OK to experiment and add in other materials, such as leather, thread or plastic. Again, just keep to your chosen colour theme.
    8. With all this attention being drawn to your wrists, it’s advised to keep your nails manicured or painted, as they’ll now also be on display.
    And remember…
     
    The ever-glamouours stylist, editor and designer, Rachel Zoe always uses the phrase ‘more is more is more’. When it comes to stacking bangles along your arm – this phrase is only too true!
    Follow these rules and simple steps to earn yourself some serious stacking-chic style cred!
     
  • Celebrity Style: RIHANNA

    Celebrity Style: RIHANNA

    Okay, so the dresses are a tad bit skimpy, but we are loving Rihanna’s new sleeker style. Sure, she’s only made two public appearances with her new look, but both were incredibly chic.


    CC SKYE Love Me Knot Bangle Set
    CC SKYE Pave Golden Nugget Bracelet

    At the Grammy Awards, she walked the red carpet in a Giorgio Armani black halter gown, paired with shiny gold accessories. She is actually wearing a lot of jewellery but, because it’s all in one shade, it appears really minimal.


    NOIR Triple Cubic Zirconia Ring
    MELINDA MARIA Python Pave Ring

    The layering of multiple bangles and rings is really chic, making the ensemble modern and edgy. We’re thinking a combination of CC Skye, Noir, and Melinda Maria should do the trick — python is a must!


    BELLE NOEL Mini Dagger Necklace

    During London Fashion Week, Rihanna was a guest at Stella McCartney’s aftershow, wearing a dark teal Stella McCartney spaghetti strap gown. Again she brought gold accessories to spice things up, pairing not one but two gold chokers. We would probably just stick to one statement piece, like Belle Noel’s dagger necklace.

    We doubt she’ll be at the Oscars this weekend, but we are looking forward to seeing what she wears next!
