New trend – chandelier earrings

Although we’re still seeing the trend for “barely there” accessories continue into AW10,chandelier earrings appear to be making a return, giving a touch of glamour to an outfit.

Whether you’re wearing an up-do for a formal event, or have opted for the more tousled surfer style which is so hot this season, chandelier earrings really can finish off your outfit.

Get the Asian influence

Ever thought saris are beautiful but just for Asian women?

Rubbish! The beautiful light, floating material used to make saris is absolutely ideal for hot, sultry summers, as well as being able to accentuate a great figure, or mask any imperfections.

With European and Asian fashions and culture now merging more than ever, we are seeing saris not just in Asian-focused stores, but on the catwalk too.

This gorgeous little number somehow manages to fuse Asian with Greek, resulting in a stylish outfit wh

What A “Diazzling” Display

See what I did there – like that title?!

Yes, the recent premiere of the film “Knight and Day” in Rio, was incredibly noisy, due to the sound of millions of camera shutters clicking and jaws hitting the floor.

The gorgeous blonde bombshell that is Cameron Diaz, didn’t let us down, with a simple LBD which somehow, magically transformed itself into a drop dead gorgeous outfit when draped over Cameron’s none too shabby figure.

See what I mean? A skinny model just wouldn’t have the same effect, but Cam

Dreaming Of Summer Holidays...

As I gaze out of the window looking for inspiration for you today, I’m enormously underwhelmed by the grey rolling clouds, windswept trees and – is that a bird and cat huddling together for warmth?

Have you booked your summer holiday yet? I’m waiting for a last minute deal but I WILL see some sun, sea and sand before the British winter hits, I promise you!

So, all together, let’s close our eyes and picture ourselves in sunny climes, lounging on a sunbed with a mojito and a great book….there now, t

Blooming ‘eck he’s done it!

I’m sorry to end the week on a sorrowful note ladies, but I have to inform you that we’ve lost one of our all-time favourites.

A few days ago we pondered as to how we could possibly transform ourselves into Vanessa Paradis to attract the attention of a Johnny Depp lookalike, and today we’re met with the news that his equally tasty co-star, Orlando Bloom, has gone and tied the knot. With his Australian underwear model girlfriend, no less (well, it was never likely to be Sharon, a bakery assistant

Ok, she might be beautiful in a quirky sort of way.

She might have a fairly decent singing career in Europe.

She could have homes in France, England and LA.

And is rolling in it.

She’s currently the face of Chanel.

And just happens to have one of the world’s most gorgeous men in the world head over heels in love with her.

What I can’t quite understand is just how Vanessa Paradis managed to go from one god-awful song in the 80s, in the ripped-jeans fashion style of Kylie, to having it all. I mean, you

Seen many butterflies around this year?

Well, although they’ve been few and far between so far up here in the north east (probably drowned in the summer downpours), in thejewellery world it’s a very different story.

Grazia magazine recently brought to our attention a new range of butterfly cuffs released by jewellery designers “Dynasty”. No huge shoulder pads here, however – Dynasty’s trademark symbol is the butterfly, in all forms, colours and designs.
