Making a statement

Trending... Statement Jewellery

A girls best friend when you want to add a little oumph to your outfit? Jewellery of course, and this season the bigger and bolder the better! On catwalks Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier and even Chanel completed their looks with lashings of statement eye candy. And to our delight, as every girl knows that jewellery worn right can uplift not just our outfits but also our spirits.

Style godess in the know, Olivia Palmero shows us how to work this trend perfectly, peared down with no other jewellery and a simple up-do. I love the statement earring choices of Blake Lively and Eva Longoria, for me this is how to wear big earrings, no necklace is a must, you want to enhance not over-do, showing us that making a statement can also be elegant and classy. Like all of the celebs shown, its best to compliment your statement jewels with a solid background of colour in your outfit to enhance the look as much as possible.
