A DAY ON SET WITH JEWEL-LEE

If it's one thing I'm obsessed about right now, it's accessories! I love how by just adding one simple element you can spice up any outfit. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to be invited to Jewel-Lee's latest photoshoot. 

From the minute I walked into the Crowne Plaza Hotel and waited anxiously in the lobby, I could already see the outcome of the shoot - with it's exquisite setting and eclectic decor around every corner of the hotel, it was the perfect studio for the day. Meeting Leigh-Anne, the brain and founder of the online store Jewel-Lee, was such a blessing. With the sweetest heart and her welcoming hugs I felt at ease instantly. Walking into the hotel room with a bed spread with chokers, necklaces, body chains and plenty more accessories I found myself shopping before I could even get home and get online.

On board for the day was only the best makeup artist you could find, photographer and the most stunning models you could ever imagine. Mid way through the shoot came along People Magazine's Fashion Editor, the super sweet Suzy, style icon of note I must say! After a few hours of shooting and many outfits and amazing shots it sadly came to an end. To see the outcome of the shoot carry on reading below.

P.s All photos below are from the amazing and talented Jenna Joseph, @_jenna_joseph and the beautiful makeup was done by Demi Leigh Hiepner, @demz_makeup. The shoot took place at Rosebank Crowne Plaza, @crowneplazajhb

Skirts for Spring/Summer 2016...

One of the simplest ways to create a more feminine look or add chicness to any outfit, is to style your look with a skirt. With plenty of variations to choose from this season, from minis, midis to maxis, you can opt for the one you are most comfortable with and still be on trend. 

If you don't mind baring your midriff, pair a cropped top with a high-waisted a-line skirt to create a voluminous silhouette. A high-waisted skirt will instantly highlight your waistline, and give the illusion of a cinched waist.

A-line Skirt, Woolworths

Accessories, Lovisa

Shoes, SissyBoy

Clutch, Vintage

Bohemian Style for Spring/Summer 2015...

If there's any trend I love, it's this one! It may be a reoccurring trend since the 70's, but nothing makes me more happier than a boho-chic look for summer.

Make sure to fill out your closet with plenty of open back, lace or crocheted panelling, airy loose-fitting garments and loads of transparent (mesh) and fringed fabrics. Opt for wide legged trousers, A-line skirts, maxi's, fedoras, and lots of layering.

Accessories are key when it comes to this trend! Try stacking or layering different wrist pieces, such as cuffs, bangles, and tasseled bracelets. Or natural stones, chunkier jewellery, and vintage headpieces to embrace this look.

Mix it up by pairing maxi skirts/dresses with crocheted tops and overlays, or opt for vintage paisley prints and fringed tops with wide legged trousers.

If you are a minimalist like me, keep it simple in a white lace shift dress with brown leather heels, add a turquoise clutch for a pop of colour, and lastly layer it up with accessories.

BOLD for Spring/Summer 2015...

Opt for bolder accessories this season. It's all about adding colour to your look, or mixing it up with different pieces to make your statement.

Don't be scared to combine different textures and contrasting colours together, it can up-style any simple look.

The key with this trend, is to choose one main eye catching piece, wether it be a necklace, pair of earrings, ring or cuff and coordinate it with minimal smaller accessories. Enhance necklaces, pendants or earrings by choosing the right neckline, such as strapless, off-the shoulder, scooped or v-neck tops and dresses.
