Christmas is oh so close now and I thought I’d write a little something about the type and colour of costume jewellery you might want to wear to your work Christmas party, family Christmas dinner or for your Christmas ball.

The main colours for the holiday season are reds and greens, but for some reason you don’t see many items of clothing on the high street in these colours. Normally you get your little black dresses, tops, skirts or shirts, so how do you look Christmas-sy in black!? Simple, add a dash of colour with some costume jewellery.

People can be quiet shy to wear for example red earrings, or a green bracelet, but it can look so fabulous when worn right. For example, you could team up a gorgeous LBD with a red necklace and earring set like the one below and with a pair of red shoes to look stunning at your Christmas party.

Cocktail rings are the best and easiest (not to say the cheapest!) way to add colour to an outfit and a burst of this season’s hottest colour. Cocktail rings are one of those accessories that never go out of fashion, can never be worn enough, and is suitable for people of all ages, young or old! And the chunkier the cocktail ring the more in fashion you will be.

Bracelets are also great to add to your fashionable outfit. The next best thing to cocktail rings, bracelets really do add pizzazz to your work wear or evening wear. Try going for a light red bracelet for day wear and a darker, more burgundy colour bracelet for evening wear.

And don’t think its only women who can wear colour- men can wear gorgeous red or green crystal cufflinks. And because they are just so stunning, you can wear them to work too!

Finally, you really cannot go wrong with a fine piece of hair accessory. For those of you who are on the shy side and want to follow fashion but don’t want to stand out in a crowd too much go for a gorgeous little hair slide in red. This hair accessory also makes great bridal jewellery for Christmas Brides and really does add a touch of sparkle.

Although it feels like we haven’t even had much of a summer yet, the fashion houses are already getting ready for Spring/Summer 09! London Fashion week is looming, and Shefaly is in association with it, so we decided to give you an update on what the key trends will be.

Florals are going to be huge trend next spring/summer, but do be a shrinking violet- this coming summer striking colours are so important. Fairy motifs on feather light fabrics are a real trend too, and add some strong detailing like large cocktail rings, and oversized brooches. Pair such a lovely outfit up with a great sparkly hair accessory.

Shorts are again a big thing- wear the shortest of shorts if you can with patterned shoes and a gorgeous head scarf to really pull the outfit off!

Celebrities are nearly always covered in diamonds, gold and platinum when they have a special occasion, and some even with just a pair of jeans! However, we can’t all afford the hundreds of thousands of pounds they spend, that’s why we have websites like ours! 

So for example at the Oscars in 2008, there was great prominence on red gowns with black closely following as a must have colour. But all outfits where accessorised with diamonds, and mostly as hair accessories and brooches. Large bracelets and cocktail rings always make an appearance on such occasions, but these can also be worn casually too.

So you can see that diamonds don’t have to be expensive, as you can have the next best thing, Swarovski crystal encrusted jewellery, that looks as fabulous as the jewellery that the stars wear.
