5 Fashion Hacks for Jewellery

I do not wear a lot of jewellery, but the few I do wear, I like them to be quality. I won’t just put any piece on. Jewellery has the power to step up any look, once worn correctly.

Here are a few jewellery fashion hacks to remember when shopping or styling your next outfit:

 

All on the Wrist

Drawing attention to your wrists is the oldest trick in the style bible. Opt for small and delicate bracelets or bangles if you have a slim, slender wrist like mine above, or go for chunkier wrist jewellery for larger wrists. These Corbico Bracelets are so cute.

 

No Necklaces on Halter-neck Tops

I see ladies rocking a halter-neck top and a necklace at the same time and it looks so wrong. I wish I could stop and tell every one of them, so I am telling as many that are reading this post. If you are guilty of the fashion mistake, please stop now.

The neck is a vocal point already, and having a halter-neck top on draws more attention to it. So rocking a necklace on a halter-neck top will just draw too much attention to it, and look odd. Instead, draw attention to your bare shoulders by rocking large hoop or drop earrings.

 

Layer the Bangles

I love layering bangles and bracelets. I think it is so cool, and it kind off adds the ‘WOW’ to an otherwise boring/plain outfit. I love stacking bangles and bracelets up. It creates this bold look. These Ziba Bangles are the TRUTH!

 

Earrings

 

Sparkling Earrings

I pay special attention to my earrings. I now go for quality over quantity so you won’t catch me rocking cheap plastic sterling silver earrings. I hardly necklaces on, because I like to pay more attention to my earrings. A beautiful pair of earrings, like the Hazel + Kent beauty above, can easily change an entire look. Trust me, I know.

 

Choker

Like I said, I hardly have necklaces on but when I do have them on, I like them to be dramatic. A choker has the power to transform a plain look to instantly. This dramatic Regal Rose choker necklace is one of my current favourites.

Beauty Muse: Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie’s most applauded persona must be that of the successful actress valued for her talent and her edge. Yet, Florence Nightingale Angelina is also the Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina is a Hollywood powerhouse, juggling her roles and business and wielding the system in her favor with, passion, and commitment. She is also the mother of six adorable children. With all the hassle these roles imply, Angelina is always a stunningly beautiful presence. That’s why she’s this week’s beauty muse on Fashion and Style Police. It might be Angelina’s simple, down-to-earth style that keeps her look fresh and crisp. Think about it: she seems to be running her life on fast-forward. Nonetheless, she doesn’t break a sweat. At least not publicly. That’s one of the reasons why she’s an inspiration to women around the world and a constant challenge to herself. Angelina wants to push boundaries, discover her limits and inspire the world.
In this organized chaos, the beauty muse doesn’t particularly have the time for frivolities. She’s seldom spotted wearing make-up. With the exception of mascara and light eyeshadow, she rarely displays any other carefully constructed make-up. As for her attire, despite the tone of luxurious items, Angelina never goes over the top. Her outfits are clean, simply cut, without extravagant accessories. She rarely wears any other jewelry than her pearls.
While pleading for the cause of women in war in front of the United Nations Security Council, Angelina wore her signature earrings: the pearl studs.
She wears pearl studs at movie premieres, while attending high-level conferences, during outings with her children, and even her beloved simple pearl studs at her wedding.

Angelina’s collection of pearl jewellery is quite impressive. In addition to her many pearl stud earrings, she has been seen rocking pearl drop earrings, pearl necklaces, and pearl pendants. These tiny pieces of organic splendor may lend the beauty muse their luminosity. Nonetheless, she surely lends these jewelry items a personal style that is difficult to ignore.
Since her acting debut, all throughout the 90s and until now, Angelina has remained stunningly beautiful. Her impeccable look and style didn’t change much. She’s sold-out to natural beauty and simplicity, occasionally paired with some outstanding accessory that only enhances her beauty. I bet that at least some of these ideas would please Angelina too.
AJ was the wild child of the 1990s. Directors working with her at the time remember her attitude and the fascination it exerted over them. Not much has changed except for the fact that Angelina is now married to Brad Pitt and is the loving mother of six children. The personal struggle with cancer also reformed her forties.
Angelina Jolie Picture
Angelina Jolie is indeed a beauty muse. Not only is she one of the most attractive women in the world, but also one of the most active women on the global scene. She travels to states that are traversing crises, she supports people, she negotiates at high level and she’s the master of genuine, heartfelt communication.
Angelina plays out her personal life in such a way that it always turns in her favor. She sold her first pictures of Shiloh to magazines without allowing them the time to spread gossip on her family. Knox and Vivienne photos followed in 2008. All the money went to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
The same strength and with that typically characterize Jolie’s movie roles also play out in real life. Between acting, satisfying her fans, taking care of her family and being the Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina supervises the activities of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation funding clinics and schools in Afghanistan, Cambodia and Kenya and is active in a number of other foundations dealing with defining programs, wildlife conservation and environmental issues, immigrant children and cancer research.
Throughout all these, she maintains a flawless complexion, radiant at any time. Angelina may be naturally gifted, yet there are three cornerstones to her beauty. Taking care of her skin is of utmost importance. As disclosed by Angelina, a person is beautiful when their skin looks healthy and radiant. Her porcelain white skin is always protected by SPF sun lotions.
Beauty Muse Angelina Jolie
The trademark of this glowing star is the no make-up look. With the exception of some events and when on-screen, Angelina doesn’t wear make-up. Natural beauty is supposed to be…natural, not obtained by ‘tricks’.
When she does wear make-up, Angelina is careful about the balance. Remember a time when she was spotted with dark lip colors? Neither do I. The darkest color on Angelina’s lips is a deep red. Otherwise, she chooses rosy and peachy tones that would complement the deep green of her eyes to perfection. The smoky eyes looks also fits her perfectly and she’s made it her own personal touch.
Angelina is a powerhouse. The well-rounded, restless and witty woman is nothing short of a beauty muse and an inspiration for women around the world.
