My Mantra Launches at Fabulous
A gift of jewellery is always a special one, and when that gift is also personalised in some way, it makes it extra special because it then becomes something that is unique to you. It could be your name, or your initial, but this season, Fabulous is taking personalisation that little bit further with the launch of My Mantra, where you can have your own personal mantra engraved on one of their lovely mantra pendants. The Mantra range had been launched earlier this year as part of the Fabulous 10th birthday celebrations and is the first own brand jewellery collection from the group. The idea behind the Mantra pendants is…

Buckley London Capri Collection
Buckley London is a jewellery collection I have long been familiar with. I remember it having a starring role in the early days of QVC, when its award winning collections combined style with affordability, and recently it has gained further fame and prestige as the designers of The Royal British Legion’s Crystal Poppy Brooch Collection – pieces that you see a lot of TV stars wearing in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday. Buckley London is a name that is synonymous with quality and style. I was recently asked if I would like to review pieces from the newest ranges. I fell totally in love with the Capri collection, and…

John Greed Origami Flamingo
One of the biggest fashion print trends of 2015 has been the flamingo print. These elegant, graceful creatures have adorned dresses, scarves, bags and tops including styles worn by celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Charlotte Crosby, Sam Faiers and Rita Ora, amongst others. I love flamingo prints and couldn’t resist snapping up a cute flamingo print dress for a rather bargainous £7 this summer. And now I have added another pretty flamingo to my growing collection in the lovely form of the white gold plated silver origami silver flamingo necklace from the John Greed Origami collection. John Greed is well known for stocking brands like Pandora, Thomas Sabo and Links…

Engagement Ring Trends
The engagement ring market is constantly evolving, as discerning consumers look for something different to set themselves apart from the crowd. For several years, the focus was on the vintage-style glamour of Edwardian and Victorian era rings – typically a statement diamond surrounded by a halo of small gems. Over the last few years though, we’ve seen a surge in demand for coloured gemstones. Part of this can undoubtedly be traced back to 2010, when Prince William presented Kate Middleton with the twelve carat blue sapphire ring that had previously belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. But even before this, blue sapphire had already been growing in popularity, as it…

A Thomas Sabo Summer Wishlist
One of the first fashion events I ever went to was for iconic jewellery brand Thomas Sabo. It was held in the glorious surroundings of the Langham Hotel in London and was a suitably glamorous affair, with Summer cocktails and pastries that perfectly echoed the elegance and beauty of the Thomas Sabo pieces on display. I was enchanted by the whole collection and have been a huge fan ever since. Many people think Thomas Sabo and then immediately think of the fabulous, fascinating charms and bracelets that are highly collectable, but there is a lot more to Thomas Sabo than just charms. The jewellery collection is one filled with show…
