With the buzz of Christmas lights, feasts and gifts a distant blur, the new year has brought us a pause to assess - well, anything and everything - from our wardrobe to how many mince pies we probably shouldn’t have consumed.
For me, the new year is always an excuse to sift through my bulging wardrobe and throw out a couple of items to be replaced with numerous outfits for the “new me”....who only ever seems to hang around for the best part of a week. But with my purse decidedly empty I’ve had to accept that, this year, my bank balance just can’t take another beating. So I’m taking a new, more affordable approach; rather than revamp my entire wardrobe, my accessories will be making the change. With over two thousand items now on sale at H.Samuel, achieving a fresh new look with jewellery and accessories couldn’t be easier.
2013 is all about colour, so ditch the dull and embrace bright gemstones and vibrant enamel. Don’t be afraid – if you aren’t too confident with dramatic change, colour can be applied to all sorts of styles, allowing you to do it your way. For an elegant approach, this Silver & 9ct Gold Pink Sapphire & Cubic Zirconia Oval Ring combines delicate silver and 9ct gold with a feminine pink sapphire.
For just a subtle touch of colour, Viva Colour’s Silver & Blue Topaz Bangle combines fresh silver and smooth contemporary twists with a single blue topaz, perfect for setting off a blue slouchy knit such as this Topshop Knitted Texture Crop Jumper.
However, if you’re ready to go for the whole hog, pick a coloured stone and accessorise, accessorise, accessorise! This stunning Sterling Silver Amethyst Black & White Diamond Ring is a real eye-catcher, boasting a vibrant amethyst and treated black diamonds for a dash of edge. Pair with these Silver & 9ct Gold Amethyst Stud Earrings and matching Silver & 9ct Gold Amethyst Wrap Pendant for the complete look.
Whilst I’m all for out with the old, one 2012 trend I will be holding onto is that of the statement. From patterned trousers to chunky necklaces, I loved it. For me, the bigger the better, and in the spirit of the popular boyfriend watch and all things BIG, Paul’s Boutique is certainly the go-to. This Paul's Boutique Scarlet Gold-Plated Bracelet watch combines shining gold with a distinctive large round dial featuring, admittedly a bit of an obsession of mine, animal print and a black bejewelled bezel. This gorgeous timepiece combines statement with chic style.
If the Christmas cheer and New Year spirit has left you feeling generous, why not give him a helping hand with a bit of the new. This Citizen Eco Drive Men's Chronograph watch combines sleek style with ultimate functioning, including a chronograph, illuminating hands, date function, and water resistance up to 100 metres. A versatile watch guaranteed to inject a bit of class and style into his look
