JOAN RIVERS: TOP TEN STUNNING LOOKS IN FABULOUS JEWELLRY

Joan Rivers' passing is quite sad and heart-breaking even though she lived quite a full and vibrant life dying at the age of 81. I was really hoping she would get well soon but unfortunately she didn't. She was like the energizer bunny always very lively, jovial and most of all very funny. She hosted Fashion Police with effortless style and a witty tongue. One of the things she will be remembered for is being very stylish. She always looked glam in her stunning jewellery pieces. She had a successful line of jewellery, clothing and accessories sold through QVC (West Chester) for more than 20 years. Here are Top 10 stunning looks of her in jewellery over the years.

THAT BROOCH IS MORE USEFUL THAN YOU THINK!

Brooches are beautiful fashion accessories that come in different shapes, colours & sizes.  Brooches can be used in different, creative ways and they are more useful than you think. You just have to think outside the box. Below are some fun ways to use to a brooch.

On your shoes:

Do you have a set of high heels or flats that are looking too plain or boring? Just spice them by adding a pair of matching brooches to them and watch them sparkle.

On your shirt:

Do something different by placing that attractive brooch on a suitable place on your shirt. You will look stunningly glam! Check the picture below to see how I placed a brooch on my shirt for the office. Really cute.

Make a fabulous statement necklace:

If you have a bunch of brooches lying around you can make a beautiful statement necklace out of it and it's very easy to make. Below is a great video by "GlitterNGlue" to see how to make it.

As a hair accessory:

Stand out and channel elegance with a lovely brooch on your hair. Put it at a vantage point where it will suit the hairstyle you have on.

On a clutch/handbag:

Add pizzazz to your clutch or handbag by adding a gorgeous brooch.

So have fun, experiment and be creative with your brooches. There are so many other ways to use those brooches.

Much love!

LUPITA NYONG'O: A STYLE ICON ARISES WITH TIMELESS ELEGANCE

Kenyan actress, Lupita Nyong'o is the rave at the moment for her brilliant performance in "12 years a slave". The graduate of Yale University's School of Drama is very talented, radiant, beautiful woman with a lovely complexion and great, effortless style. Lately her appearances on the red carpet have been nothing but stunning. She dazzled in a captivating caped red dress by Ralph Lauren at 2014 Golden Globe Awards.

She also topped the best dressed list at the SAG awards this last Saturday in a ravishing GUCCI turquoise dress.

With her grace and poise she is bound to be a force to reckon with in fashion. We are looking forward to more of her appearances on the red carpet. 

FIRE UP YOUR OUTFIT WITH A STATEMENT NECKLACE

For me statement necklaces are a dream come true! I love them to bits and I have quite a number of them. They come in a wide array of colours, shapes, sizes, lengths etc... They can instantly add a lot of style to your outfits. A basic LBD (little black dress with a beautiful statement necklace would look very divine.

If you find yourself in one of those "moody" days when you just don't have what to wear, just put on a pair of nice fitted jeans, a tee shirt, an eye-catching statement necklace and you are stylishly good to go!

Statement necklaces can add a lot "pizzazz" to your outfit but a few words of caution. Let your statement necklace be the focal point of your dressing. S.N's work best with clean, simple silhouettes and always makesure your statement necklace complements the colours of your look. Check out the pictures below for ways to wear the statement necklace.
