Leopard Print- The cat in your wardrobe.
Is there a more iconic fabric or print than leopard? Every season, leopard print is on trend, whether it be in the form of warm coats and scarves in winter, or long maxi dresses and cute bikinis in warmer months. Leopard print accessories always look fabulous, and add sex appeal to any outfit, Leopard print is a true, timeless classic that has probably been de jour since we were living in caves and walking around in pelts. What makes it so timeless, and how can you ensure that you channel Kate Moss or Joan Crawford, rather than Bet Lynch, or, god bless her, Paris Hilton? It’s tricky. If you get…

Trends in Men’s Jewellery
Once upon a time, a man’s jewellery box was a pretty lonely place. The odd ring might’ve resided in there, maybe a crucifix or a St Christopher on a chain, the acceptable necklaces for men, and there would usually be a watch of some variety, but that would basically be it. Jewellery was the preserve of women (and magpies) and real men avoided it.

And boy, did the dress look different on Lindsey. For…

Kate. Marilyn And Elizabeth And The Allure Of Pearls.
10 years ago next month, Kate Winslet posed for a stunning photograph that appeared on the cover of V magazine. A shot of her beautiful face and a string of pearls was all that was needed to create the wonderful image. But the pictures also evoked the movie queens of days past, and speaks volumes about the eternal lure of pearls. I may be biased – pearls are my necklace of choice, my birthstone (for June), but whether it is an elegant gold and pearl necklace with a chain and a pendant, a simple string of pearls, or a vintage style choker, pearls evoke glamour, and elegance, and also a…

Zara Taylor Jewellery – unusual, quirky and wonderful!
At the recent CICI press day I was thrilled to meet the supremely talented Zara Taylor, the founder and creator of Zara Taylor London, a vintage inspired jewellery line that is attracting huge attention and a celebrity following. I was really impressed with Zara’s creations, which look and feel like beautiful lost treasures that you have uncovered in a long forgotten jewel box. Zara’s pieces include cameos, timepieces and long pendants that are created from both vintage and vintage-inspired materials. I love the telescope that actually works, and the adorable ‘a nice cuppa rosy lea’ pendant with its delicate china cup and pink rose. The vintage timepieces, wore on a…
