Fill your Christmas Stockings!
Yup we are going there again folks, Christmas. But this time it's actually acceptable and we hope you've all at least started thinking about what to buy for who. Today we are on hand to bring you plenty of suggestions for those little things that often get left to the last minute - the stocking fillers! Who doesn't love the one sock wonder that hangs above the mantelpiece? However small or silly the good insides, its a Christmas tradition that is always a joy to behold. So what to include? An orange, a penny farthing? a diamond ring? Whether you...

Monogram Jewellery - Put your Stamp on it...
Monogram jewellery is big news at the moment, it seems everyone wants to add that personal touch to their fashions. Whether through bags, clothing or jewellery, putting your own stamp on items, quite literally, is the best way to make things personal.

But for the easiest (and in our opinion the...
Wedding Fever...
Ever since our fave celeb couple Kimye got engaged in the most extravagant proposal we’ve seen in Celebville for years, we can’t help but get wedding fever and just come over all giddy at the thought of their big day! If the engagement is anything to go by (NFL pitch, brass band, film crew) then we are in for a reality show treat when the day itself comes. Of course not every bride dreams of a wedding this extreme but we can definitely take some tips from the celebs when it comes to planning our own weddings. If you too...
Celebrate Bonfire Night with all things Sparkly!
Image source here Happy Bonfire night folks! Although we can't quite believe it's the 5th November already we do love a good celebration and bonfire night is no different. Seeing as tonight fireworks will be going off and sparklers will be donned in honour of Guy Fawkes, we thought we'd do our own tribute to all things sparkly - sparkly jewellery of course! With the party season upon us and bonfire night the first truly wintery event of the calendar, we figured it was time to set out sights on those coveted items that shine and sparkle their way into...
Trend: March into Winter with Modern Military
If you cite Cara Delevigne and Pixie Geldof as your style icons then this one may be for you - the modern military look is marching into focus this Winter and with a much more grungy approach than previously seen last year. Oversized coats, chunky boots and lots of camouflage prints are set for abundance but what can we expect from the trend in jewellery terms? Well we are glad you asked as here at Anna Lou of London this is actually one of our favourite AW trends jewellery wise. Think hardwearing leather, khaki green colours and layered necklaces and...
