Go online to create your perfect stack ring by choosing out of a whole range of band rings. It is fun and allows you to express your individuality! Select from a choice of gold and silver bands: plain, engraved, with pearls, with multicoloured stones or with animals and flowers.

Zara’s Little Sister We Can Not Wait to Meet
October 14, 2011 § 2 Comments
There is just too much excitement about Uterque coming to UK. Indeed, Zara’s little sister has big shoes to fill, and knowing how good the marketing team behind it is, there is hardly any doubt of its success.
While Britain is waiting to hear about the locations for the new stores, we get to check out the products online. And the range is great – the new brand is luxurious and focuses mostly on high quality leather good. So here is my pick of the ultimate bag(large leather envelope clutch), a pair of shoes (Trekking ankle boots with heels for £135) and an accessory to die for(Floral print foulard with double border for £64.90). My advice – get something soon, before all your friends do!
TRELLIS – The Clever Jewellery
October 11, 2011 § Leave a comment
In my previous two blog posts I wrote about my love for interchangeable pouches for Charlotte Olympia clutch and my current obsession with statement jewellery. Well, this blog post is about absolutely stunning earrings that combine both of those passions.
First of all these earrings are completely interchangeable. You can choose your own center plate from a range of metals and coloured enamels like rose gold and black enamel on the pictures above. You can also select the drops to add to the earrings – pearl, citrine, rose quartz and many more. The earrings look great even without the central plate! So as you can imagine I am absolutely in love with the flexibility of this piece of jewellery – you simply would not need any other earrings and you can adjust them for any outfit or occasion. Also it is a big saving – you only have to purchase the diamond encrusted base once.
And secondly (not that the first point is not enough already) these earrings make a statement and will easily be the center of an outfit – you would not need any other jewellery either.
So, who makes these beautiful and very clever earrings? Lisa Abrahmsohn, an experienced and passionate London based designer and a founder of a jewellery brand TRELLIS. Visit their website http://www.trellisjewellery.com to see other clever jewellery and find out more about these Paisley earrings. (The completed Paisley Rose Gold earrings on the picture above are £5,275).
Make A Statement
October 11, 2011 § Leave a comment
Big statement jewellery is currently a very fashionable way to brighten and spice up Autumn days. My obsession is Tom Binns. Each piece from the collection made with Swarovski crystals draws maximum attention. The range consists of ‘big’ necklaces, bracelets and earrings with prices from £180. The bright neon colours are present throughout the collection and since neons are currently trending it means Tim Binns does not just make jewellery, but creates fashion items.
In particular I am absolutely in love with these ethnic hand painted Swarovski crystal earrings. Apart from being a center piece of any outfit they also fit well with the ethnic trend of this season. Available for £225 from http://www.net-a-porter.com.

The Headband of Power
September 28, 2011 § Leave a comment
The Gossip Girl TV series is back with new season.
You may not watch or love the show as much as I do but all would agree – the styling of the girls impeccable, and it is all thanks to Eric Daman. There has been some cast reshuffling before the season and while we are told that Taylor Momsen’s character – Jenny Humphrey moved to London to attend Central Saint Martins, Taylor herself has launched a full blown music career.
And while Gossip Girl proceeds without Little J I can not help myself but add THE item of her wardrobe from previous seasons to my wishlist. It is a Jennifer Behr Crystal Encrusted Headband that Jenny got as a symbol of power over her high school friends. And of course real life is not like high school, but I feel empowered with such a big and sparkly accessory on my head. Plus it is as close as you can get to wearing a tiara in public (obviously if you are older than 7 it is not recommended that you wear one outside your bedroom).
You can purchase the headband and all the associated feelings for £600 from http://www.sophiescloset.com
Best Vintage Find of the Month
September 21, 2011 § Leave a comment
Vintage. You either love it or hate it. But one thing everyone must absolutely love is vintage jewellery. Especially if it is of a Chanel kind.
I just came across these beautiful Chanel Vintage Turnlock earrings and here I go, sharing my find with you (I could have cheekily kept it to myself).
You can get them in 2 sizes, Classic and Jumbo for £290 and £365 respectively. The place to go to is http://www.shopatsophiescloset.com, which apart from a hand picked vintage selection stocks a whole range of other sparkly modern pieces of jewelery and if it is not enough have a look through various headbands – that section surely should be called Blair Waldorf’s closet. Enjoy!
Wear a Message on Your Finger
September 1, 2011 § Leave a comment
Peace, Faith and Courage as well as a whole range of other inspirational messages can now be worn on your fingers with small silver rings from http://www.whatsabouttown.com for £12.95 each. I bet they will look good combined on just one finger or worn across the whole hand or simply as a singular ring (if you can pick the word that fits you best).
If those do not cut it, go to the web site – it is full of designer inspired and trend setting jewellery of high quality. Great choice and frequent updates on this website clearly show that fast fashion is not just about shoes and clothes any more!
Stack It Up!
August 25, 2011 § Leave a comment
Everyone loves their bracelet stacks at the moment. I am not the biggest bracelet girl in the World, but now that I am planning my US holiday wardrobe, I am planning to join in and create my own bracelet stack by picking out my old ones from (the very extensive) jewellery box and adding a few new ones as well.
This ChloBo Summer Love Large Black Bead & Turquoise Peace Bracelet is a perfect addition! Contrasting colours, large beads and of course a peace sign – no bracelet stack can go without one.
If turquoise is not your colour others are available and priced at £35 – 40. This particular one is £40 from http://www.rumpusresort.com. Happy Stacking!
The Original Collars

In the last month everyone has gone collar-crazy. Asos black sequin collar was flying off the e-shelves faster than printers were churning out the magazines that features it (oh yes, there were a lot of those).
But if you don’t want to settle for asos goods, try Gemma Lister – a jewellery designer whose collection featured collars back in Autumn/Winter 2010. This gold sequin one will definitely make you stand out of the Peter Pan lovers’ crowd. Made to order from http://www.gemmalister.com, £45.
Jewels of Tory Burch
August 9, 2011 § Leave a comment
i just recently discovered that apart from the most amazing flat shoes called Reva and a range of very cool bags Tory Burch also has a jewellery line. I am impressed, especially with this cute leather animal print cuff. It would look great as a part of a bracelet stack that graces the arms of many celebrities and jewellery lovers because its so different(both the shape and texture).
To tell you the truth I am not a massive bracelet fan – they just always seems to get in the way. Nevertheless I can definitely see myself occasionally wearing this one – it can be a key piece of the outfit hence deserving of a place on my arm. It can be ordered online for $95 from brand’s official website.
