The Magic 8 Earring Boutique Tips
By Hannah Sandling
Here’s how to spice up your wardrobe in an instant with the key looks for Autumn/Winter .....
1. OAP chic - avoid looking like you are stuck in the past, mix old treasures with new treats. To prevent this look from becoming dowdy and moth eaten, add a pair of classic inspired
‘Vintage revolution’ earrings and a pair of lace up boots. Who said dressing like a 70 year old was boring!
2. Super Sonic Luxury - glamour is back in town, and there’s certainly no OTT with this money dripping look. Sexy, opulent silks, satins, leathers, velvets, feathers and sequins dominated the catwalks. Mix ultra glam
‘Raucous Rocks’ earrings with your minxy shimmering dress.
3. The 80’s rocked! Think of punky Agyness Deyn with a little bit of a Dynasty edge! Yep, huge power shoulders, cartoon inspired jumpers, jackets with exaggerated lapels, chunky DM boots, zips and studs are big news for A/W 08. So what better way to party this look in true style, but with some naughty
‘Nocturnal Addiction’ - perfect for earring addicts!
4. Industrial design - inspiration comes from mixing technology with the clean lines of architecture. This look is not for the faint hearted. Mixing long skirts that have structured lines and panel details with angular graphic silhouettes, leading lady shoulders with boxy shapes and minimal techno prints is the ultimate way to keep you in the fast lane of fashion. Use
‘Decodize’ earrings to rev things up a notch.
5. Romantic lace with a hard edge - peekaboo lace, sharp shirts stacked with attitude and elegant knee length skirts are the key ingredients to this slightly austere look. Throw into the mix a pair of unusual looking silver antique earrings, such as
‘Daydreams’ to make this moody and dramatic trend look edgy.
6. Power hour - tough on the outside and all out feminine on the inside - think Angelina Jolie! Figure hugging sharp dresses in blacks and charcoal greys with nipped in waists, expensive and luxurious looking fabrics in jewel colours, tailored and structured suits are all the perfect platforms for the lady in control and her
‘Raucous Rocks’ style earrings.
7. Sexy tailoring - the non-fussy, clean look that oozes elegance and sophistication. Try teaming together a discreet yet sharp looking shift dress in a neutral colour, with a pair of non attention grabbing yet sexy court shoes topped off with a pair of stunning
‘Winter Romance’ gold drop earrings.
8. How to pick from the Earring Boutique
- keep your earrings in scale with your face, small people and huge earrings don’t work
- choose earrings in a shade that fill your face with healthy colour, not drain it.
- always remember to match accessories to your outfit, not your outfit to your accessories – unless it’s something truly hot!
