The A-Z of accessorising




This year, accessories have reached an entirely new level. With an emphasis on bold and dramatic, as well as pretty and natural, extremes are at the heart of the game. On the runway, top designers feature a mixture of patterns, fabrics and outstanding designs. Jewelry is exotic, classic and feminine. From school-time chic to elegant frothy, just about anything goes. Take a look at a few accessories… ranging from A to Z. 

Artistic Jewelry – Jewelry has reached all new heights. From layered rings to be chandelier earrings, styles like those found at Michael Hill are reaching the stars. 

Bold Necklaces – Statement necklaces are beautiful and bold! 

Colorful ScarvesScarves are enticing and dramatic, styles are reminiscent of 1960s femininity. 

Diamonds – Diamonds continue to be a girl’s trusted friend… either the real thing or cubic zirconium… there definitely worth a second look. 

Emeralds – Emerald jewels and emerald fabric. The color is lovely, exciting and cooler than ever. 

Fairytale Designs – Fairytale romance has taken over the evening look… vintage styles and fairy-like slippers are ready for Tinker-belle adventure. 

 Gorgeous Shoes – with heals a mile high lines, cutout toes, buckles, clips, and bows. 

 Hair Ornaments – Hair can be worn long, plaited or layered in loose waves atop the head, then fasten on a sparkling hair clip or slip on a star-studded band.

 Interesting Details – It’s definitely in the details… just look at the stars. They are daring to take it to the edge. All that’s needed are a few unique accessories. 

Jazzy Earrings – Jazzy, dangly earrings… oh yea! 

 Knit hats and gloves – For cooler days pull on a hand-knit hat, a pair of gloves and cuddle up fireside with your closest friends. 

 Loud Prints – The fabrics are bold and the prints a dramatic. From jackets to oversized bags and exercise shoes, geometric designs are bright and huge! 

Mixed and matched patterns – This year’s accessories allow you to take to the edge. Match patterns… mix plaids with stripes. The choices are infinite. 

Nude Fabrics – The catwalks are all about sheer and nude shades… pure femininity verging on the outrageous. 

Outstanding Sunglasses – Bring on the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis glam. Sunglasses are larger than life. 

Pretty Sandals – Walk along sand swept beaches, get ready to play. Just slip on kitten heeled sandals; they’re prettier and racier than have been seen in years. 

 Quilted Totes – Quilted bags of every-size are practical and fun. (Quilted prints factor in beautifully as well.) 

Rose Gold – Rose gold, a combination of yellow gold and copper is warm and lovely. Wear it in rings, necklaces, bracelets and piercings. 

Shawls and sweaters – Take your look from day to night, slip on a fringed shawl or a cardigan and you’re ready to step out in style. 

Turquoise everything – That’s right, turquoise shades are trending in ways that have never been seen before. 

 Umbrellas – Why not? There are so many funky styles; it’s impossible to know when they will come in handy. 

Velvet Evening Bags – Vintage velvet evening clutches make the perfect accessories for evenings on the town. Watches – Forget the smartphone, an attractive watch is one of the smartest accessories to own. 

 X-factor Trends – The idea speaks for itself. Add that element that sparks a fire. 

 Yellow Gold – Yellow gold is simple, classic and trending hotter than ever. 

 Zippered Leather – Zippered waist-cut jackets and faux animal designs take us back to the 80s and 90s with some great biker-looks. A-Z accessories are trending… So, try them out and play!

Red Letter Jewellery



Today has been one of the coldest days here in Hawkes Bay, I am definitely not a fan of winter that's for sure. I have been tucked inside with a wriggly little baby who has been a bit grumpy. Which has left me in front of the computer screen looking at these beautiful pieces from Red Letter Jewellery. Make sure you pop in and say hi!

Love Dart



Yah, I have a spare hour since my little baby has gone to bed and my parents are here to give me some spare time to be able to do a bit of blogging. In my spare hour I found this really cool website called Love Dart. They sell awesome handbags and a few other goodies. My personal favourite is the triangle handbag! They have a pretty rad Instagram page as well which you should check out.

TastyCircus | The Patisserie



I'm already planning my next little craft project which I am really excited about! So I have been doing a bit of research on some jewellery as I would like to make some pieces to giveaway for Christmas. I spotted Tasty Circus who focuses on delicious handmade products inspired by food which I thought was to good not to share. 

On another note, today is my last day at work, before I start my maternity leave. Hence why I am starting up a few projects here and there to fill the gap and to enjoy this time walking Lola and visiting friends before baby comes. Happy Friday!

Les Parisiennes - THE WHITEPEPPER



Heck, I am sure November has to be THEE most busiest time of year surely? I hardly have time to even think out loud. Fortunately not for long as I am finishing up work next week and will be on maternity leave, which means I will be keeping myself busy with a whole lot of Christmas baking, house hunting, nesting, preparing for when baby comes and doing some Christmas shopping. 

But in the meantime, I managed to sneak away for a few seconds and stumbled across 
a new favourite collection called Les Parisiennes by The Whitepepper

Element Eden Summer 2013 Collection



I always love following Element Eden's name range. They have some lovely knits and polkadot bits and bobs in for their summer collection which I would love to get my hands on. 

This winter has been horrible and the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that summer is on it's way in due time. I can already imagine picking fresh strawberries, going for bike rides along the sea and getting my pasty white skin some colour. Bring on summer already!

4 Ways To Wear A Beanie



Finally I got my hands on a knitting pattern. I had to learn the abbreviations but was lucky enough to have a few friends show me the ropes. I successfully knitted my first beanie and gifted it to my sister-in-law for the winter. 

4 Ways To Wear A Beanie:

1. Over your face = sneaky sleep time
2. Side on covering ears = feeling snug
3. Flopped back = casual Tuesday
4. Flopped to the front = I'm ready to party

If you are into knitting or might want to start learning you might want to have a look at this.

Loafer Love | Tory Burch SS2013




Did you hear the news? Tory Burch is now shipping to New Zealand girls! I am definitely standing in line for a pair of loafers. Pretty exciting right? I personally like loafers because it’s snazy and comfortable to wear plus it’s still trendy.

Liam Winter 2013 Collection



Being a summer girl I always find winter really hard to deal with especially in New Zealand with the crazy amount of rain we get. 

Thank goodness we have the new Liam winter collection to look forward to. It gives me hope for winter and reminds me to embrace good warm food, knitted blankets and wearing warm clothes.
