All Charms | Lovelinks | Italian Charm Bracelets | Nomination | Tweetie Charms

Finally an accessory that everyone can afford and it’s your own natural nails with colour. This year has seen an influx of recording breaking sales of nail varnish and why because nails have become the most talked about fashion accessory.  Adding that bit of colour that is much needed in a lot of items, you can treat yourself with a shellac nail varnish which gives you that look and lasts for 2 weeks.

Painted nails can finish of a stylish look and whilst we having see fashion introducing vibrant colours this is a great way of showing you are in the know about fashion but without having to invest in too many clothes and shoes etc. Kim Kardashian quoted about her love of nail varnish on twitter saying, “It feels so good to be back to black nails. I just feel edgier! In the mood for something other than French tip and baby pink!”

I think what makes nail varnish a great buy is that there really are so many different brands, so you can literally spend pennies creating your own style or you can invest in a nail varnish that will last a bit longer.  You can also make your nails come alive by team up the colour you have with other bits, for example hot pink nails with hot pink lips, just having these two can really dress up an ordinary outfit.  We all know jewellery incorporates many colourful stones and something that has a large selection of every colour is the murano glass charms from lovelinks , so you do not even have to buy the entire collection all you have to do is pink out the colour whether it be a blue, pink, black murano glass charms and you can just pop this onto a necklace and have your own created quirky fashion look that also matches the colours of your nails. Therefore if you one invested in one pot of nail varnish, one lipstick and one glass charm every couple of months you have all the accessories you will need to be on trend.

We are seeing more and more of this pop sensation at the moment and until she stops belting out incredible songs I think we will pretty much have to get used to the idea Rihanna is going to be around and for a long time for that matter too!

Whilst some people would say that her music is not really talent there is something that can be admired from the young 23 year old, is that she is an artist who is not stuck in a rut and has shown her diversity through her music as well as her image. With having sold more than 15 million albums and 45 million singles worldwide and achieving 9 number-one singles, you cannot often turn on the radio without hearing one of her tracks!

Through the years from when she first appeared on our screens at the age of 16 to now her fashion and style has changed incredibly.  She is now a leading lady in fashion trends, to the hairstyles, to the red hair we are currently seeing everywhere to the ensemble of clothing that clash, she still seems to make it work. We have seen this young girl grow up right in front of our eyes, to the innocent look she first brought, to the good girl gone bad and now she seems to be finding who she really is.

Rihanna also appears to be a great love of jewellery and one thing we can credit her for that she does not do things by half; her pieces of jewellery are part of her statement piece. I am sure if she was to own a nomination charm bracelet style it would show her love of accessories, vibrant colours and that quirky edge we are all growing to love now.

From someone who has grown up with Rihanna’s music she came in to the music industry with a bang, there was this dark side to her that you either like or didn’t like with her album “Rated R” but now I think she is drawing the attention of all music lovers, with her catchy tunes and entertaining performances!

With Christmas just on our doorstep, now is the time to be thinking about which charms you will be buying as Christmas presents. So make sure it is the right choice and you have taken into consideration all the important factors.

What is the brand of the charm bracelet?

It is really important when choosing your charm make sure you are aware of the brand of charm bracelet the person has, whether this be Lovelinks jewellery, Nomination jewellery, Thomas Sabo, Pandora etc. Why is it important? This is because not all charms will fit a different bracelet and are interchangeable for example lovelinks charms will fit on a Pandora charm bracelet however Pandora charms will not fit on a lovelinks charm bracelet. Therefore first point is to check the brand.

What charm represents the person?

The idea of the charm bracelet was created to capture all those important memories in life that you do not want to let go of and that will be kept and treasured for many years to come.  So when choosing a charm think about achievements that special person has had, animals they love, holidays, birthdays, maybe they are about to take an exam or get married, they are so many memories that can be captured in any charm collection.

Is your charm for a specific season?

You may be looking to buy charms for a particular season, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s, Easter, Christmas, Graduation, Father’s Day and Weddings. This is something that all charm collections offer a wide range of charms that are suitable for all these events and many more.

What colour schemes do they currently have?

With having a shop we often see ladies coming in with their bracelets and even though they have been happy to receive a charm for their birthday, their child or loved one has just gone for a colour they like not necessarily one that will suit their bracelet.  It is important to some women that their bracelet matches with its colours and unfortunately charms once worn on the bracelet cannot be exchanged.  So please when buying murano glass charms or nomination semi-precious stone links you take into account the colours that they currently have.

What is great about adding colour is that it can brighten up the look of the bracelet and can be used as more of accessory piece of jewellery.  Simply by changing the colour of the beads and links to suit the in-coming colours of that season.

It is important to remember there is so much more to a gift than “just a charm” each charm is a valuable and significant memory and to the wearer it is something that will express them without having to say a word.  Charm bracelets have been around for decades and we often hear both men and woman say how they will pass on their charm bracelet to their children or loved ones.  The charm bracelet is certainly a timeless piece of jewellery that will be around for many more years to come.

For those of you that currently have charm bracelets why not make it easier for the person or people buying charms for you and give them a wish list of all the charms you would like to receive, that way you get a charm you love and the person buying you a charm knows it is one you are sure to like too.  There are a number of sites now available online where you can actually build your bracelet, this again is another great way of showing others the charms you already have and would like to complete your look.

We have noticed over the past couple of months Gold jewellery has been making a comeback however something has caught the eye of the queen of fashion and that is liquid silver from Pandora.  The chunky set of bangles are a great accessory to any look especially it will give any outfit that is just ordinary looking a certain edgy look.

It nice to see Victoria Beckham wearing sterling silver jewellery and more so jewellery that we can all grab our hands on and create our own look with. Even though the collection of sterling silver bangles posh is wearing is more likely to be in the price range of £1000 you can simply create this look for a lot cheaper by buying a mixture of silver different sized bangles.  The bonus of buying genuine sterling silver means that the item will last, so it is more of an invest purchase.  However if you are just wanting to create the looking quickly going to your local Claire’s shop will have a mixture of bangles for low costs to you!

Silver is a great look and will compliment anyone’s skin tone and does give a classy and stylish look when worn right, the thing to remember with jewellery is not to over accessorise.  It is easy to over accessorise when you have so many beautiful pieces of jewellery that you love but often it is the less is more game with jewellery that can make that one pendant for example really stand out.  Although when wearing bangles a few always looks better on the arm and I think Victoria Beckham shows how it is so easily done.

So thank you Victoria for showing us a look we can all create and will look great this festive season, the rock chic seems to be becoming more popular with celebs and I think this bangle look will certainly compliment this style perfectly!

It has always been a myth that men can’t wear jewellery outside of the obligatory wedding rings and watches. Today, times are changing; it is now more and more fashionable for men to experiment with different jewellery styles and colours. The sheer amount of male jewellery has now increased at allcharms and is now catching up to that of female jewellery they offer. Certain celebrities are adopting the trends by the second, showing that jewellery is now an essential item and that it has become part of the overall look.

A young Justin Timberlake, amongst many, shows that a simple leather cuff or delicate piece of silver around the wrist can complete any outfit. When accessorising an outfit with a piece of jewellery it is always good to keep the colours neutral in order to go with any outfit; blacks, browns and greys always work perfectly especially for man, as Justin shows here. Unique Design offers a wide range of leather and steel bracelets, which are simple yet elegantly made.

Fashion has dramatically changed in the last 40 years from flares and bright colours to softer colours and more fitted garments. This is just the same with jewellery. A good quality sterling silver chain wrapped around the wrist simply adds a whole new definition to the outfit. David Beckham shows silver with white works perfectly especially if you pair it with silver around the neck or with earrings. With nomination charm bracelets, men can find a range of suitable charms fit for all male personalities and fashion styles.

Pandora Jewellery is fast growing in the female population but also hugely in the male population. A dark grey double leather charm bracelet coupled with a safety chain and a few silver charms can mean a lifetime to a father, husband or even growing teen. The interchangeable charm bracelets from Pandora whether leather, silver or oxidised silver can show a decade of memories and feelings. All the males of the world should not be afraid to experiment with jewellery and colours. The beauty of Pandora is that you can make your bracelet as sleek and stylish as your needs require. Pandora has been designed to fit around your lifestyle and hobbies and I think they are a must in the looks and trends of today’s males. Pandora Jewellery isn’t about being into fashion and following the trends, it’s about wearing your personality on your wrist.

It is everywhere at the moment our very own Prince William is set to marry Catherine Middleton, some are saying she may become the “People’s Princess” and take on the role that Princess Diana left behind.  But whatever you think about this Royal wedding there is something about the UK and their history that attracts the attention of the world.

Even though the Royal family is not what they used to be and a lot would argue do we really need a Royal family, it is something that has now become tradition and they do set a certain standard, it something that has caught the attention of many designers too.  A lot of designers have already put forward their ideas for the wedding dress and how they think the new Princess should look on her big day.

We are also seeing charm bracelets producing Royalty charms with nomination jewellery having king and queen crowns collectable charms.  Pandora have also brought out a 14ct gold crown charm with diamonds as an exclusive limited edition charm to their customers, so we can only imagine what this wedding will begin to influence of the next few months.

The Prince has been told however to bare in mind the current economic climate of the country so it will be interesting to see the first Royal Wedding that has been done on a budget. We do wish Prince William and Catherine Middleton all the best and from what we see they do appear to be a genuine in-love couple, who can also be seen as good role models.

Making sure these memories last is very important, yes there are cheaper brands out there but sterling silver charms from lovelinks are designed to last and they will last for years.  Keepsake boxes are the past now it is all about showing your memories around your wrist; it is something women can share with another woman they may not even know that well.  A charm bracelet becomes so much more than just a piece of jewellery it becomes sentimental to the wearer and can say a lot about the person who wore it just by what charms they have collected over the years.

Red is a beautiful strong and certainly the colour for Winter this year, thanks to Cheryl Cole, red has now become the fastest growing hair colour for this season too.  What is great about this colour you can experiment as little or as much as you like but there are so many ways for you to show you are a part of the fashion must haves!

Going all the way…

The hair just as Cheryl Cole did you can do an all over semi-permanent if you are not completely sure about a drastic change just yet, a semi-permanent colour will fade just as Cheryl’s has and become a less in your face colour over time.  What is great about red hair it is really showing how hair can be the best accessory you have to be bang on trend.  So why not let your hair be the main accessory you have?

Going half way…..

There are so many accessories especially with the Christmas season upon us that incorporate strong, luxury red colours, maybe you can opt for a red bag this season, or for all those women with the popular lovelinks charm bracelets, why not purchase one or two red murano glass charms that can be interchange as and when you feel like it?  Another great buy and can be a red belt or there are plenty of red cardigans around, with accessories what is great depending on how you feel that day you can add more or less to suit you!

Just setting off….

A great way to add colour without changing your complete wardrobe and hair is simply buying a red nail varnish and a red lipstick, painting nails is very much become just as important as what you are wearing, it can add that little bit of colour in these cold, dark months.  Red is a beautiful colour which offers warmth and depth, obviously take into consideration your own personal skin tone when finding the perfect red lipstick for you.  Maybe even have a sit and let the professionals take care of it for you in places such as Debenhams where they have qualified and experienced make-up artists.

No matter what your personality there is a stage just for you, enjoy getting the red look this season!
