Style Tip - Shop like a Fashion Editor...

How to shop like a Fashion Editor?

This week we're talking jewellery. Whatever your style...ladylike, modern and sleek, sporty or creative, you can steal the show. With these tips you too can shop like a Fashion Editor!

Ladylike - Subtly feminine. Look for pretty gems, flecks of sparkle and fine details. Classic pearls with a modern twist...

Sporty - Your jewellery doesn't always have to be obviously pretty. Look for geometric pieces with a touch of masculinity, with just enough girliness, like a modern, big watch with little sparkles or a pretty face...

Modern and sleek - Elegant. Stacking a couple rose gold bangles or gold rings. A simple and modern gold cuff will complete your look perfectly...

Creative - Bold. Outspoken. Statement jewellery like neck pieces, earrings and oversized rings will suit you perfectly... 

I hope these simple tips will have you shopping like a Fashion Editor the next time you go out looking for jewellery.

Style Tip - Statement Earrings.

You want to make a statement? How?

Earrings! Big, sparkly and bold...That's how you make a statement...and the best part? It doesn't have to be expensive! There are countless options out there to suit any budget and any taste. Just go into Lovisa, Claire's Accessories, Colette Hayman (my favourite) or any of the high street stores and you will be bombarded with choice...

If you are looking for something a bit more luxurious, definitely go for Swarovski. They have some gorgeous statement earrings that are still big and sparkly but fantastic quality that will last a lifetime!

How to wear them? Keep the rest of your look simple and minimalistic. Jeans and a t-shirt with statement earrings is all you need or a gorgeous dress with statement earrings and you're good to go...don't overdo it by adding a statement necklace with the earrings or too much else - unless you are like me - then is that case more is better!

Have fun and experiment...if you have short hair, go all out! If you have long hair, pin it back to make to earrings the focus point. And as always add your statement lip and you will be in fashion right NOW!

Style Tip - Make up your Style

How do I make up my style?

Your style is you.

Style is speaking without saying a word…its who you are and what makes you, you. There is no one more you’er than you according to Dr Seuss! You are unique and so is your style.

Yes, we all have style icons and celebrities we like, we might like the way they dress and take inspiration from their looks, but we are still ourselves and we are still one of a kind.

Style basically speaks on your behalf…anyone can follow fashion; style is what you do with it.

So, ask yourself 3 questions:

1). What do I like?

2). What do I not like?

3). What is my lifestyle?

Then, start looking at fashion magazines and celebrities; see whose style you like and how you can adapt it to your everyday life. Only take what you like, from as many style inspirations as you want, that’s the beauty of making up your own style…you take the best bits and mould it to you! Before you know it you have made up your own unique style of things you like that suit your daily routine…

For instance…I like the glamour of Gwen Stefani’s red lips and matching nails paired with the rock chic of her high heels and jeans. I like the quirkiness and eccentric fashion of Carrie Bradshaw and how everything is mismatched yet somehow matches perfectly. I love the sensualness and perfect grooming of Jennifer Lopez, the golden glow of her skin and I love Kim Kardashian’s super full on high fashion look…throw it all together and you have my style…glamorous, high heeled rock chic, eccentric, mismatched, perfectly groomed, high fashion ME!

I would love to know how you make up your style… what makes you, you!

Style Tip - Twin Set

How do you wear the "new" twin set?

No, not the usual pearls and cardigan twin set...the modern version for the stylish, glamorous and fashionable woman of today! I'm talking the skirt and top version or the pants and top version...in the same pattern and material.

I know you are thinking how do I wear this without looking like I'm trying too hard or form part of the furniture? First step, find a pattern and a colour that you like, then find a style you feel comfortable with e.g. straight leg pants and a box top or a circle skirt and a crop top...last step, add your personality, like a pop of colour or a unexpected colour and pattern combination.

Treat this trend like you would a dress or a suit, as a one piece outfit and it won't seem so scary...

Style Tip - All White.

Want to wear all white but not sure how?

This is one trend I'm certainly embracing for summer! Impractical? Yes...but who cares, right? Skinny white jeans with a relaxed white t-shirt and tan accessories will be perfect for the hot summer awaiting us here in the desert...glam it up with a red lip and a statement necklace or layered with long pendants for a relaxed stylish look. 

Take it up a notch with gorgeous heels as a focal point and a smarter white button up blouse or structured top and you are ready for a night out...easy, stylish and laid back summer glamour...minus the sticky handprints and finger prints hopefully!

Style Tip - Sunshine Yellow

What is the best way to wear yellow?

Yellow is one of the great new colours this Spring/Summer. It's not a colour everyone can or likes to wear and it certainly doesn't suit everyone, however it is a happy colour and it screams summer! The easiest way to incorporate yellow into your wardrobe are through accessories. 

A jacket, handbag, a statement necklace or a gorgeous pair of shoes. Small amounts can make a big and bright sunny impact!

Here I have added a sunshine yellow handbag to my daily look for a pop of colour. 

Style Tip - Khaki Pants

How do I wear my khaki pants without looking like I'm going on Safari or joining the Army?

Slim fitting, cropped and with heels! Always...

So this is a big trend for Spring/Summer. The khaki pants. I would suggest 2 options. Either slim fitting and cropped, or harem style scrunched up to expose the ankles. But always wear heels. If you wear flats they will not give you the elongated look we are looking for and then people might think you are going on safari or perhaps channeling a little bit of Private Benjamin...

Pair it with a pop of colour and girly accessories and add some statement jewellery with a funky t-shirt. To pull the whole look together, simply add a tailored jacket and you will look like you stepped of the pages of a fashion magazine and not Saving Private Ryan!
