What better way to add something to an outfit than a gorgeous cocktail ring.

A great way to dress up your favourite LBD.

Also fantastic worn with jeans to make your outfit stand out.

 

Here are a few examples of rings that would compliment any outfit, and perfect for the party season that is approaching.

There are just too many beautiful rings to choose from at Swarovski and this one will add some bright colour to a black cocktail dress.

For a lower budget this Emerald green cocktail ring from French Connection £20 is ideal for wearing for all sorts of occasions!


Another gorgeous ring is this embellished brass ring from Alexander Mcqueen £295.

This ring is a great colour and in a pyramid style, also opens up to reveal an engraved skull!

FAUX FUR

FAUX FUR

Faux Fur is making a massive comeback for winter,  great for accessorising with and on trend for this season.

If you are not a fan of real fur , faux fur is the way forward and with the quality you can now get, there is no reason not to try a few key pieces for the season !

When I think of fur I think of Hollywood glamour and elegance, Fur is a great way of building up outfits and layering but keeping warm at the same time.

To start with this fabulous bag form Marc Jacobs £350 is gorgeous and goes with many outfits.

Leopard print seems to never go out of fashion and this skater dress from ASOS £85 is a great shape and balances out your figure by clinching in at the waist, looks great teamed with opaque tights!

I could not resist picking this cute vest from Temperley £295, which has a wonderful wide collar and belt detail, a great piece for layering over leather jackets and knitwear.

Now this is a shop I rarely go to, but I found this collar in River Island £13 and thought it would be perfect tied around last years winter coats and cardigans an investment piece for an instant update, and a great price too.

And finally, for those of you that have Hunter boots these are gorgeous Fur Trim socks £30 , will definitely keep you warm and stylish through winter.

Statement Necklaces

A statement necklace is definitely a must have piece for any season.  Investing in a statement necklace can transform your outfit by adding colour and updating a look.

A long necklace can enhance a smock dress by bringing focus onto the waist area, which is perfect for hourglass figures, whilst a shorter necklace flatters the neckline and chest area.

These are simple but effective ways of highlighting your best assets.

I love long necklaces and although this one from Bijoux Heart may be on the higher end of prices at £275. It is a stunning piece to have for all outfits and all occasions.

Perfect for this season and stylish. Adding something as simple as a long necklace to your wardrobe can really revamp many outfits and make them feel new again!

If you don’t want to break the bank and want to invest in a necklace at a fraction of the price, this one from French Connection £30, will work wonders for shift dresses and loose T-Shirts.

Short necklaces are perfect for an evening and for work, as well as being a great accessory to many outfits.

I personally think shorter necklaces look elegant and classic teamed with your favourite LBD.

This one by Day Birger Et Mikkelsen £109, is gorgeous. I especially love the ribbon detailing!

Bib necklaces are a great piece to update your wardrobe with, and a good classic design will not go out of style.

I never think Mango as the first point of call when it comes to jewellery but the brand is definitely on my list now,  they have some fantastic designs in this season.

And finally , this Bib necklace £39.90 from Mango adds a real statement to any outfit!
