Top ten tips for AW10

We’ve researched, hinted and given you some key trends for AW10, but today I thought I’d do a quick top ten jewellery and fashion tips for the forthcoming season, which you can print off and refer to when choosing your winter wardrobe:


1. Choose a number of statement pieces, but only wear ONE at a time to avoid looking like you’re selling jewellery rather than wearing it. Something like thisdiamante jewellery set at £14.99 would be ideal.

2. The trend for oversized costume jewellery rings remains

Don’t you just hate it when no sooner than you’ve broken up for your summer holidays, then everyone’s talking about buying things ready for when you’re back again! Well, this should cheer you up – we’re talking jewellery!

Schools all agree that wearing over the top bling is probably not a great thing, particularly if you’re wearing dangly earrings or necklaces which could become trapped when you’re going about your everyday business and rip off part of your anatomy.

That doesn’t mean you can’t be

Is this a vintage year for you?

Vintage clothing and accessories have always been big news, and never more so than this year.

So what is vintage? Well, there is genuine vintage clothing – classic (and some not so classic) styles and designers which you can pick up in specialist boutiques up and down the UK, or online. Most of these cover every decade right back to the 1920s. Then of course, we have “vintage style” – an up to the minute take on an older style, of which the “flapper” dress, is a great example.

Once considered to be the poor cousin of designer jewels, costume jewellery has come a long way.

Advanced technology means that pieces can now glitter and sparkle just as much as their real gem counterparts, often making it difficult to tell to the untrained eye, just what is real and what isn’t – and isn’t guessing half the fun anyway?

But not only that – costume jewellery has in fact become extremely hot property in itself, with even millionairess Nikki Hilton about to launch her own line.

So, re

It seems that although the look for jewellery in SS10 was “barely there”, the stars at a recent awards ceremony in Hollywood certainly favoured the “more is more” style with their earrings, paving the way for a huge trend for er, huge earrings in AW10.

Kelly Brook chose some long, dazzling pieces, whilst AnnaLynne McCord, star of 90210, went with the fabulous chandelier shape.

Rachel Zoe says go big this season!

You may remember that I absolutely adore the one and only stylist to the stars, the completely “bananas”, Rachel Zoe.

Although Rachel is currently enjoying the airing of her season 3 “Rachel Zoe Project” on US TV right now, god knows how long it’ll be before it hits UK screens. However, I have managed to track down a segment of a US show called “Live With Regis and Kelly” which was aired recently (and can someone tell me why Piers Morgan was presenting?)

Anyhow, on said programme was a great featu

Jennifer Lopez - Putting On The Glitz!

This photo was posted all over Twitter yesterday. Allegedly, it’s from the gorgeous (and not short of a penny or two) Jennifer Lopez, asking which piece of jewelleryshe should wear.


Jennifer-Lopez-jewellery-on-Twitter.jpg


You see, a star’s life isn’t all a bed of roses. The poor girl is in such a quandary over which piece of thousands of dollars’ worth of jewellery to put on, she has to resort to showing off her wealth to the world and ask its opinion. You are NOT likely to see, however, a young starving African child wandering around

Going wild over animal jewellery

Sweet, pretty – most girls love a bunny or a kitten pendant. Animal jewellery will always be in demand for its “cute” girly factor.

So, meet the latest in the range from Katie Hillier. You can pick up this gorgeous little squirrel and many other of his furry friends at Dover Street Market in London.

For £835.

So you’ll maybe not be buying two then? To be fair, Katie Hillier is THE name in top end jewellery right now, and the squirrel necklace is 18 carat yellow gold, with black diamonds for its eye

I’ve just had it on good authority (this month’s edition of Marie Claire, to be precise), that the key jewellery trends for AW10 will be HUGE necklaces and rather quirky pendants.This is great news for people like me, who are quite bony and pale up top – summer’s “barely there” look was not a great one for us.

So, I’ve gone shopping for some humongous pieces which are guaranteed to give you neck strain – but hey, you’ll look fantastic!

To start us off, how about this sparkly gold crystal love star

Going bonkers for Lego jewellery

The world has officially gone mad. Now, you know me – I love my accessories, and usually can make anything look stylish. However, this is just one step too far.

What am I talking about? The new fashion craze – Lego bricks and its combination with jewellery!

That’s right girls, for the princely sum of £50 (charms extra), you too can stick a Lego brick on your finger (although, armed with the ring off a coke can, Lego brick and superglue, I can do it for about 40p). Available in Selfridges, the silv

Jewellery is ideal for goodie bags

Waiting in attendance at my niece’s seventh birthday party yesterday, it struck me howgoodie bags always seem to contain the same sort of things – maybe a lollipop, a yo-yo, stick on tattoos or one of those windy snake things.

And I, genius that I am, wondered why mums don’t make their girl’s goodie bags just a little bit more individual?

So why not choose a girly gift from Seasonsonline, which any little diva will love? (Sure beats a yo-yo). With prices starting at 1.50, you may find that it’s ev
