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. Personalised luggage a la Louis Vuitton has been popular for years, meaning discerning travelers never have trouble finding their luggage at the other end. In recent years initial stamps and monograms have appeared on more accessories such as Alphabet Bag's initials totes and purses and Cambridge Satchels stamped bags. 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...
Everyone's Wearing... Rose Gold Jewellery
As the Winter draws in, the jewellery trends tend to change for the colder months and we always find that as the weather gets colder the jewellery gets warmer. Rose gold jewellery in particular tends to be the easiest metal shade to rock come Winter. Perhaps it's because it compliments all skin tones, warms up even the coldest, palest of faces and brightens an outfit. Perhaps it's because wearing it gives a rosy glow that silver and gold don't achieve, or perhaps we all just need to look at the world through rose tinted glasses to get us through a...
Trend - High Shine
It's no surprise that come the Winter party season we all turn into magpies seeking out the shiniest, sparkliest items around and getting ready to dazzle at the Christmas party. But this season we can expect more than a few sequins as in the fashion world things are set to become a lot shinier. As seen at Giles, Mary Katrantzou, Ashish and Simone Rocha, the AW13 catwalks were full of high shine fabrics and illuminating clothing. Simone Rocha showed metallic colours and PVC wet look fabrics, Mary Katrantzou a more subtle iridescent sheen to her iconic prints, Giles took shine...
