Inspiration: Jewels

Image sources 1,2,3,4. Necklaces from Giles & brother, Mango, Shourouk, Venessa Arizaga, Lulu Frost, Miu Miu. I came across Kirsten Hassenfeld's work and was drawn to not only the intricate paper work, but also the way she depicted jewels with paper. It inspired this post to paired up with the latest trend of chunky necklaces and statement jewelery. What I love about statement necklace is how versatile they are. Yes traditionally we wore them with our ball gowns and to formal occasions. The modern twist is that, you can wear them with a white tee-shirt, causal wear with trainers, and with the neon colours introduced, it is great for summer parties, and a way to update your wardrobe.

Colours that will flatter any skin tones – Teal/ Blue

People people say they are more suitable to a colour while others look absolutely horrible in them. Ever wondered why? It has to do with our skin tones. Lets start with the first colour: Indian Teal/ Blue

Elegant silhouette, with this teal Goat dress, you can use it for endless occasions. Pair it heels and oversized earrings for evening, or lace up shoes and a cotton printed scarf for weekend brunch.

Stand out with this eye-catching Rag & Bone blue trench coat. It will set you apart Summer or winter. Easiest way is to pair with all white, which is red hot this season. Alternatively mix it up with patterns, prints which compliments with teal/ blue like reds, oranges or yellow. Neutrals like greys and black for your more smart occasions.

A cocktail night out racer dress from Antonio Berardi is more suitable for people who wants to draw attention away from small bust and boney chest. Perfect to pair with chunky bracelets and a clutch.
