Metalics and shimmer although already prominent this spring/summer will continue into autumn/winter but it is the fresh earthy tones that will give Autumn its fresh face this 2016.

Think of natural green foliage and fresh botanical, earthy oranges, mustard and Riverside blue tones that will keep us in touch with nature. Ethnic multicoloured prints and embroidered patterns as well as the continued animal and wildlife images keep up this look too.

Earrings have gone Dramatic For Summer 2016

Drop Earrings, triple leaf hoop earrings, tassel earrings,pearls,chains so long as they are dangly and Dramatic! That is this summers must have accessory, earrings still can be simple and elegant so long as they are long, as Ralph Lauren demonstrated this spring on the cat walks, however other designers have gone a lot further with very dramatic large hoops, bejewelled pieces, balls, one earring you name it, designed to stand out in a crowd.

Silver earrings are always tasteful and look classy with any outfit, simple drop earrings look fab with short hair or on an evening out with your hair up. Animal, wild life and leaf earrings have been big as have owls and butterflies.

THE TREND OF DANGLY STATEMENT EARRINGS is set to continue into Autumn/Winter 2016, but with a difference, you know all those occasions when you lose one earring and your left with a unmatching pair, well don’t despair. This autumn the long and dramatic earring trend continues with a mismatched look,so all those single earrings can be mixed along with any new styles for a quirky individual look which is bang on trend for this Autumn if you dare to be different!

How to dress up your jeans this weekend!

kimonos are the perfect accessory to wear with jeans, if you are going to the pub or out for a meal wearing a kimono makes an ordinary outfit into something individual and eye-catching.

There are so many designs to choose from, printed fabric, silk devore, sleeveless long kimonos, short jacket kimonos, beaded, fringed you name it there are so many variables with kimonos. Some are very exotic and colourful, botanic and floral prints are summer style staples this season.

kimonos are so versatile, you can dress them up, wear over a plain dress or team up with smart trousers and heels. My favourite is to dress up your jeans with a plain t-shirt or white lace top wear either a long sleeveless kimono or a short kimono jacket over the top.team up with a pair of espadrille heels for a real up to date look.

The real benefit of a kimono is the price range, they are so reasonably priced that you need not feel guilty for spending on clothing again this month as many designs are priced under £20.00 for a plain fabric kimono. Should you splash out on a silk devore kimono it won’t break the bank either at around £55.00 a snip compared to the high street which would be between £75.00-£100.00. Devore Kimonos are well worth investing in, as wardrobe staples they are the perfect pieces to bring out this week, month, in fact in 5 years time they would still be relevent to bring out when you need that one key piece of inspiration.

So go on this weekend grab yourself a kimono to combine with your jeans or any other combination, don’t forget it is also a holiday piece ready for your summer hols as well.

The Best Value For Money Accessory This Christmas Handmade Crochet Scarves!!

Christmas Shopping, we are all filled with dred with weeks flying by and not yet thinking about what to buy. Every year it seems to get harder, what can we buy that we haven’t already bought previously. I’m always searching for ideas for something different that a friend, daughter or mum haven’t already got.

A Handmade Crochet Scarf is just the thing, it is light weight, and has texture which is playing a big role this season. These unusual Scarves can be worn reverse in a triangle shape which frames your jawline and replaces jewellery or as you would wear an ordinary scarf. These scarves also have a touch of sparkle woven in which is perfect for the Christmas season!

Handmade crochet scarves really do lift an ordinary jumper into an eye catching outfit.

They are available in lots of different colourways making them versatile for all generations to wear, they also look great over the top of a coat.

The lilac or purple colourway make them a perfect choice for an elderly relative. Alternatively try wearing all the same colour from the tonal blue palette for example head to toe for a elongating trick!

We often end up with a knitted hat and scarf set or a unwanted gift at Christmas which we don’t want and definitely would not wear. The Handmade Crochet Scarves are not one of those items, they are a fail safe option that will suit any outfit or coat. So whether you are going out to a party and want to lift that little black number or want to show off a new coat triangle scarfs are a must! Accessories are wardrobe staples that transform an outfit from looking ordinary to fabulous, they often end up being the centre of conversation as everybody wants to know, ‘where did you get that from’?
