Three Ways to Wear... A Silk Scarf
This time of year can often be a trial when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. We've made peace with that fact that Summer is at an end and have stored our open toed sandals and floppy hats away for another year. Now we are ready to don those Winter coats and start layering like all of the magazines keep telling us. But the weather isn't quite with us yet. Autumn in Britain basically means anything goes - sun, rain, even snow - who knows what to expect on an average day. You may be too hot in...
The Miss Anna Range Launches...
Today marks the launch of our much anticipated new line Miss Anna. The quirky little sis of the mainline collection, Miss Anna is young, fun and totally fashion conscious. A revival of some of our best selling acrylic and crystal pieces from the past, this cute and feminine range is created with our younger jewellery fans in mind and brings together bright colours, fun designs and girly details such as crystals and gems. With the C word coming around faster than you think (that's Christmas in case you were wondering) these pieces offer great gift ideas for any lucky little lady....
Guest Post: A Transitional Wardrobe by Sherin Malick
This week we have a fab guest post from fashion blogger Sherin Malick, who writes The Hi Fashion Site. Here she discusses how to successfully swap your Summer clothes for Winter and have that elusive transitional wardrobe. While standing in the shade, hiding from the rain last weekend at Somerset House, it was clear to see that our glorious summer was well behind us, with the winter looming nearer. I, for one, am nowhere near ready to give up my pretty dresses and cute sandals, and will be trying to wear them for as long as I can. There are...
Our Favourite Red Carpet looks from The Emmys 2013...
Last night saw the 65th primetime Emmy awards take place in the U.S and we couldn't wait to see all of the red carpet looks this morning! There was a true mix of old school Hollywood glamour with fun prints and lots of embellishment. Here's our round up of our personal favourites from the evening and how you can recreate the jewellery looks with Anna Lou... The Hollywood Glamour-pusses... Christina Hendricks, Michelle Dockery and Zooey Deschanel all opted for real evening glamour and a retro Hollywood vibe. We loved Zooey's ice blue J Mendal dress and bouffant hair teamed with...
The SS14 Jewellery Trend you can Wear Now!
We are now more than half way through fashion month and from the catwalks to the streets there is one stand out SS14 jewellery trend we have been spotting non stop throughout: the Statement earring. From Cara's dove hoops at Topshop Unique to the bejewelled drop studs at Pamela Roland, large sparkling earrings were favoured above the necklace or the bracelet this season. The good news is that this is a trend you can easily get in on right now and stay one step ahead of the pack. Our new luxe collection is full of gorgeous earrings that are so...
Our LFW SS14 Highlights
Fashion Week was a whirlwind of events, shows, presentations, and parties and as well as showcasing our collections at the Handpicked Media suite, which you can read about in this blog post, some of our team were also on hand to capture all of the action at Somerset House and beyond. As a trend led jewellery brand, we love seeing the new season collections on the catwalks first hand and are always especially interested to see how the designers use jewellery within their shows. But as always the trends don't stop at the end of the runway and often the...
