15 woman this month | November 2011 | More is…more 1. Mix and Match. For that eccentric look, don’t be afraid to mix different types of jewellery. Pair different stones together; elegant with bulky and your outfit will not go unnoticed. 2. Gold vs. Silver. Which colour metal should you go for? Why not both. Sometimes a clash of gold and silver is just what the outfit needs to pop. So, don’t hesitate to couple the two. 3. Animalistic Ballistic. Who says animals belong in the zoo? We beg to differ. A leopard-head ring or an owl necklace is just the quirkiness your day requires. 4. Pattern-o-Mania. This season it is all about patterns, but that doesn’t mean you should not accessorise. Adding solid coloured jewellery can actually tone down the screaming designs of your outfit. 5. Over the Top. A trend that has stuck around and that we all love, is oversized jewellery. Paired with a chic outfit, chunky pieces will give you an edgy look. 6. Stack ‘em Up. Just because bangles are big, it doesn’t mean you cannot wear a few. In fact, wear them stacked on both wrists, what fun! 7. Monochrome. You might think that monochrome is dull, but think again. Single-colour jewels can make a monochrome look pop! 8. White Wash. Look like a million bucks and accessorise with diamonds. These rocks work perfectly for a special occasion or any night-time event. 9. Tropical Lush. Escape to a tropical island without boarding a plane and embrace fruity jewels, serpent cuffs and citrus beads. Today you are… 10. 50’s Glamour. Travel back in time to the 50s with delicate jewellery. Wear pearls, flower-top and cocktail rings. Think Grace Kelly! 11. Rock ‘n’ Roll. Channel your inner rock star for a fun evening. Add eagle-feathers or twisted cobras to black and leather outfits. 12. Goddess Inspired. Go for luxury and crystals to pull this look off. It will help you transform a conventional look with a vivacious twist. Smokey Eyes 13. Ethereal Beauty. Turquoise and gold is a match made in heaven. Mix them together for a Helen-of-Troy-inspired look. 14. Warrior Princess. Modern-day-women fight battles too. It doesn’t mean you cannot do it in style. Wear metal plates and draping chains along with chevron leather to perfect this look. Designer inspired 15. Donna Karan. On the runway this season, this American designer has paired single-bead choker-pearls with neutral palettes of gray and taupe. 16. Ralph Lauren. “China Girl” inspired, Ralph adopted the colours green and coral-red for bead necklaces and earrings. 17. Diane Von Furstenberg. This Belgian-American icon has revitalised a basic look with stacks of bangles. Vampy Lips 18. Betsey Johnson. Betsey’s vibrant take on fashion has brought us “The Choker” from her punky, edgy, colourful collection. Must haves 19. Bag-a-licious. Transform an old bag with a beaded necklace wrapped around the straps. You could even bedazzle it by adding crystals — good as new! 20. Extra Pizzazz. Wear a few jewels in your hair or add crystals to your nails for that extra something.
