Colour Blocking
November 18, 2020
The quickest way to get noticed is to colour clash. This is the art of mixing together unexpected shades of block colour. There was a saying “red and green should never be seen”, but those days are gone. My personal favourite is hot pink and orange. Colour-blocking is taking colours that are opposites on the […]
The Crown
November 18, 2020
I was a huge fan of Princess Diana. I fell in love with her and watched her evolve from a very young self-conscious Sloane into a style icon. She was on the cover of Hello every week and I bought it religiously. With the new series of The Crown – I hope they will be […]
The Treasured Gem
November 18, 2020
Pearls are officially back and trendier than ever! Personally I don’t think pearls are ever out of fashion, but then I’m biased. We’re talking classic pearls, baroque pearls and everything in-between. Mix and match them, adding interest and texture, and layer them up like Chanel – the more the merrier. Although some might think of […]
Woman’s Weekly
April 11, 2020
What a nice surprise it was when I was stopped and asked to describe my style and be photographed for Woman’s Weekly. This was a few weeks ago when shopping was easy and we didn’t realise where we would be now. I was very touched to be asked and seeing this has brightened my day. […]
Cowboy Chic
March 16, 2020
Cowboy boots, wide brimmed hats and fringed jackets are nothing else but Western style. This season they’re making a comeback on the high street. I’ve had mine for a long time and they’re now seeing light of day again. These are pink with embroidered flowers and crystals. The best Cowboy boots are those with a […]
Finding Your Length
February 12, 2020
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 […]
Tie-Dye
January 18, 2020
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 […]
Fabulous Faux Fur
September 12, 2019
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 […]
Layer It, Style It
May 7, 2019
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 […]
The Yin and the Yang
July 7, 2018
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 […]
