Have an Elegant & Chic Christmas

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and invitations to attend various festivities are likely arriving thick and fast.  It can be extremely tempting at this time of year to go a little OTT with our outfits and think we need to wear all of the sparkle (in our clothes and accessories) all at the same time!  But true elegance is always more understated.  Showcase Your Gown or Accessories – Not Both!

With such an effortlessly elegant Autumn/Winter style, the simplicity of cuts and colour blocking allows you to be bolder with your accessories. The natural beauty of horn, combined with the edginess of leather, creates the perfect accompaniment to this look. Think chunky links, multiple strands and long pendant pieces when you want to make a statement that elevates an elegant outfit to the next level.
