Vintage inspired jewellery

Hello fashion monsters, today we are all about vintage inspired jewellery and when we talk about vintage in current times, it usually refers to an item that was made any time before the 1980s and preowned, I vividly remember looking at my great aunt’s old pictures and ogling at her fantastic earrings which I fortunately own now lol however, Vintage jewellery has been made popular by a lot of celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Fearne Cotton and Nigeria’s own Louise Priddy. This trend has generated major buzz and as a result, vintage jewellery is now being teamed up in a number of beautiful ways especially the necklaces which are normally mixed and worn with classic pearls either with formal dresses or a simple pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Some beautiful vintage Chanel pieces can be found at Selfridges, London, however more affordable original vintage jewellery (obviously not high end) can also be found in a number of online vintage stores.
An alternative to original vintage pieces became evident with the invent of the vintage inspired pieces which are created using retro designs and are readily available as rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces, these jewellery can be found at stores like Topshop and H&M and now in Nigeria, the jewellery line Kristos by Freda and Louise provides vintage inspired jewellery using precious stones. Ladies make sure you updated your jewellery collection with these hip and effortlessly beautiful pieces and for those who would like to purchase the original vintage pieces make sure you buy from trusted stores and sites because they make sure that all their jewellery have been cleaned properly for the customer’s safety, so my darlings until next time, keep it fabulous.

Animal prints

Hello fashion monsters, I would personally feel bad leaving all my fab ladies in the dark about the need to own something in animal print this season because believe it or not, animal prints are back in full force. These prints may range from zebra to leopard, and can be used in scarves, blouses, shoes and even dresses, however, it is important to take your personal style into consideration when choosing a fashion item in animal print, we do not want to be caught out there looking like we just escaped from the Amazon. Matching a classic LBD with a pair of leopard print shoes would effortlessly ooze sophisticated sexiness which is what all ladies should aim to achieve.
Dolce and Gabbana have had animal prints in every fashion collection in the past couple of years and the accessory line Kurt Geiger have a bad ass pair of leopard print peep toe shoes out this season, so ladies get your animalistic fierceness on and do not forget to keep it fabulous.
