Just a few more weeks before Christmas! Whilst I am seeing many of my fellow bloggers highlighting Christmas outfits and backdrops of Christmas decorations in their IG pictures, so here is an outfit post on Christmas colours particularly of red and green. 

As we will be flying out to Florida shortly to spend Christmas this year, I decided not to decorate the home seeing we won't be around to enjoy it. Instead here is a  post to inspire for your Christmas gift shopping.

This lovely vest from #LaurelBlooms could be worn as a top / dress/ or outerwear. As we are in the tropics and it is so warm over this festive season, I styled this top with black shorts under (just to maintain some form of decency)  and wore it as a dress. At my age, wearing it on its own would have been a little too risque for my liking.

May I add, this was the perfect colour combination for me to trend even more lovely jewels and arm candy from #Blueirishandicrafts. I love the unique polygon shaped pendant with the matching drop earrings that accented the Christmas colours of red and green. Keeping the parisian feel to this outfit post, I wore the pendant on a double choker necklace. 

Similar to the purple stoned cuff I styled in a previous post ( check it out here), this time I styled the thinner and curvier emerald green cuff with this look.

If you like to get some of these very reasonably priced jewellery from Blue Iris, please check out their range of products on Instagram and on their Facebook page and place your order directly with them. All sales go towards supporting the tradesmen making such lovely handmade jewellery.

Whilst 2014 saw an increase in funky earrings e.g Dior 2 way pearl earrings as well as Ear Cuffs, 2015 earring trend seems to be getting bolder and larger. It's seriously all about making a statement!

Quirky designs and large geometric pieces seems to be the way to go. Found these cool designs from Keada's collections :

 Choker Necklaces



Oscar De La Renta & Lanvin to name a few key designers have brought in strong, bold and floral necklaces for Fall Winter 2012 and Spring Summer 2013. 

 

 


 Blue is the colour to go for in colour trending for your necklaces.
Try and choose a shade of blue which is stronger and sharper  such as cobalt blue or turquoise to add that punch of colour to lift the mood of an outfit or even to bring out the coloured tones of an already colourful outfit.

Futuristic shapes and designs using a myriad of materials such as stone, metal and plastic was a hot favourite for Fashion Week. Likewise, Spikes, Skulls and Crosses are very much in trend too.

Different ways of wearing a feather necklace.

 

The beauty of this style of necklace lies in its bold and strong effect.
Covering the neck and chest most certainly glams up a basic outfit.
Often it's worn on simple and plain fabric tops e.g cotton t-shirts, under plain shirts to create
a true statement.
