Charismatic Costume Jewellery

As you may have noticed I am obsessed with 2 things, jackets and costume jewellery. I believe that these items make or break a look and are essential in pulling all the elements of an outfit together. Therefore I am always on the hunt for new original pieces, obviously I have my favourite costume jewellers Mawi, Alex Monroe and Lara Bohinc to name but a few. However there is nothing like discovering a piece from a jeweller new to the game which makes you swoon! Here are my costume jewellers to watch!

Style Crush: Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa was the ultimate teen queen known for her role as Gabriella in the disney hit 'High School Musical.' From a young age Vanessa's style has always epitomised LA cool with relaxed fabrics and shapes however of late she has really come into her own style wise and seems to have found her style niche, an updated version boho chic mixed with a 1920's vibe, and I love it! 

Vanessa shakes off her 'teen'           

image with this figure hugging

'Alberta Ferretti' dress which 

accentuates her flawless body

teamed with simple 

Dana Rebecca Jewels!            

Vanessa does down town LA like

no other in this stunning 'Blu Moon'

leopard print sundress playing on

her beautiful skin tone! Extra credit

for the 'Max and Chloe' double spiked

necklace! 

An updated 1920s flapper girl could 

easily look like fancy dress however

Vanessa keeps her 'Blu moon' dress 

and jacket contemporary with a 

beautiful "Haute Betts" head piece

and YSL black pumps!

Absolutely love this Jenny Packham

sequinned embroidered gown. Vanessa

keeps her makeup dark with a red lip which

keeps things smouldering! 

This outfit shouldn't work, a velvet dress

and fish nets? However this beautiful blue

"Catherine Malandrino" wrap dress teamed

with fishnets and Stella McCartney sandals

works perfectly to prove that Vanessa is 

willing to take a fashion risk!
