It’s been good news for the girly girls out there so far this season with pink hues earning their rightful place on the high street. The good news does not end there. The high street has a whole host of pretty little jewellery box gems waiting to prettify any daytime outfit, or the evening’s equivalent from head to toe.
Taking things from the top; Topshop has a lovely range of hair accessories with corsage and crochet compiling a main theme. I especially like this lace corsage headband, (see right). Wear with your hair down in the daytime to create a playful girl-next-door look or hair pinned up in the evening to add a bit of girly glam. With its nude tone, it will prove pretty versatile and at under a tenner you can’t exactly complain.
Onto jewellery; there’s always one (or a handful) of those to-die-for pieces that you just have to have sitting on your dressing table. Look no further than Urban Outfitters this Spring. It may sound clichè, but there really is something for everyone; from delicate rose, heart pendant combos, to more statement floral lockets. What’s so appealing is the vintage feel to their whole collection, undoubtedly adding an element of timelessness to a piece, although stereotypical, a feature that cannot be criticized. I recommend teaming the more out-there pieces with simpler garments to avoid distraction from the main attraction. The assortment of arm candy is also pretty enviable and despite the urban myth, it is all reasonably priced. Their current underwear range is also worth a look. Yes, York does have a distinct lack of a store, but Leeds is only a short train ride away, and it’s not as if there need be an excuse for a shopping trip!
As the winter chill shows no sign of disappearing fast it’s lucky that besides showcasing their bikini and sunny ranges ready in time for the warmer season, the high street is still stocking Winter woollies. The full matching hat, scarf and glove combo need not invite itself into February along with your floral day dresses, but warmth can be achieved without looking so Eskimo-esque. Miss Selfridge comes up top trumps in this category; their collection of scarves range from light crochet and lace numbers for pure accessory purposes to one hundred per cent sheepskin, a decent investment for warmth.
As it has not quite hit the temperatures appropriate to bare legs I recommend their tights range which consists of a lot of girly florals; a complement to any day dress. And a helping hand on the way to making that awkward transition from Winter to not-quite Spring.
It’s pretty simple, the only rule to follow; the daintier the better.
I loved this article. I had a look in urban outfitters and your right some of the jewelry is really nice!
