Style Colour Trends

I have become slightly obsessed with the gorgeous jewel tones that are taking the fashion world by storm. Beautiful shades of amethyst, sapphire, emerald, teal, ruby, garnet and citrine are every where you look, from accessories to nail polish. I thought I would share a few of the jewel-toned accessories that have found their way into my wardrobe recently.

Style colour trends have moved away from the brighter neon colours and in their place you will find this gloriously rich colour palette. If you are not very adventurous with colour, then start by introducing the palette in your accessories.

This is one of my favourite Essie shades for winter, Trophy Wife, a gorgeous deep teal with a beautiful pearl sparkle. I have also found beautiful jewel toned eye-shadows from Revlon, which you can find out more about here.

A few jewel toned styles from the catwalk and high-end fashion boutiques this season, for a bit of style inspiration.

The accessories featured above are from Accessorize { *Turnlock Lady Bag R299, Teal Drop Earrings R149, Teal & Gold Bangle R129} and Mr Price {Scarf R89}. *Approximate retail prices

In this look Jessica is rocking a magenta Trilby hat, an over sized knit and a gorgeous bohemian print scarf all of which, are super trendy this season. Hats are a big fashion accessory especially for winter, you can see more about this trend in my previous article on hat style trends.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features none other than South African born Charlize Theron, now international star and darling of the red carpet. Her outfit for the Prometheus Premiere in London, was Dior all the way, I love both the colour and sparkle of her Christian Dior Couture cocktail dress. Her accessories are subtle yet chic and complement her dress beautifully, from her Dior strappy heels to the Bulgari jewels. I love this look on her!

Style Trends for 2012

Hats, Hats, Hats it’s all about the hat!

I have spotted one of my fashion icons, Jessica Alba, on two occasions, wearing a Panama hat with such natural elegance, it is a style that really works for her!

Statement hats are a big style trend for 2012, whether it is a vintage style Cloche hat, an oversized Felt hat or a masterfully crafted Panama hat, there is something to suit every outfit and occasion.

We are even seeing the classic Bowler hat making a big come back on the fashion scene, for both woman and men. It can be a rather fun and sassy way to make a fashion statement.

Style Trends

Coloured denim is a big trend this season, especially pastel skinny jeans. Whether you pair with them with pretty pumps and a T or boots and a chunky knit they are bang on trend. Think of colours like candy mint, aqua, milkshake pink, sherbet lemon or subtle lavender and you have the trend down. Either team your skinnies with another pastel shade or neutral colours like white, beige or grey to get the overall look spot on.

Here we see one of my favourite fashionistas, Jessica Alba, rocking a pair of pink pastel skinny jeans {a photo that I have actually featured before}, looking super gorgeous – as she always does!

To complete your pastel ensemble you can add a dash of candy coloured nail polish in either a matching colour or go for multi coloured pastel nails, which are very trendy this season.
