The Edit

Finding Your Length

Different necklaces flatter different people and different necklines. Take into account your entire body, the shape of your face and body type. For instance a choker suits those with a good jawline and a swan-like neck. Most people suit the Matinee length, 20 to 24 inches. It’s like wearing a v-necked top, it will elongate your neck and draw the eye down. Take into account your own personal style and wear what you feel makes you good. Accessories can make or break an outfit.

Tie-Dye

Tie-dye has a special place in my heart. I grew up in Trinidad and in the Caribbean tie-dye was all around me. I even used to tie-dye my own t-shirts. I can’t say they were as beautiful as pieces designers are creating for SS20.

They have brought it right up to date making it stylish and not 90’s grunge. Whether it’s a fabulous dress shirt, active wear or accessories give it a go.

Fabulous Faux Fur

One coat that everyone needs is a faux fur. They can be a great fun item in your wardrobe. A hot look with the designers, the high street has followed suit and there are many to choose from. You can now find them in bright colours, stripes, animal print, spots… virtually everything. They can be very versatile and take you everywhere. Short or long they will make you feel like you’re in a soft glamorous fluffy cloud. This is a fab colour and style by Tom Ford. A real winner.

Layer It, Style It

I love layering my jewellery but it’s important to follow a few tips so your jewellery can make the best impact. The main point is to space the jewellery so that it doesn’t look cluttered or start to get all knotted up together. You want each piece to be seen without overshadowing the other. I have mixed here a bold shorter necklace with a big freshwater pearl and then a long chain. This means the eye sees the shorter necklace and then the long necklace draws the eye down and elongates your look. You can mix metals, classic pearls with vintage, whatever style suits you and your personality.

The Yin and the Yang

Deliciously tactile chain necklace – it packs a punch but the bonus is that it is so light you hardly know you are wearing it. On trend with the move to Industrial Jewellery“ its big and bold but not lacking in style or glamour. Don’t be wary of teaming it with statement earrings. I love my Tutti Frutti drops that tone with everything and like Yin and Yang come together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
