SOME POINTERS TO ACCESSORISE SMARTLY

Here’s a list of basic style tips to make note of, when you’re choosing accessories for that beloved outfit:

1. Keep in mind what you’re wearing

The most important factor in choosing an accessory is what you’re wearing, where you’re wearing it to, what the occasion you’re wearing it for is, among others. How you accessorise a top and jeans will obviously be very different from how you accessorise a formal dress for a sitdown dinner. Or how you accentuate a festive ethnic ensemble. So that’s definitely a point to remember.

2.Choose the feature you wish to accent

What are you looking at showcasing? Is it your waist? If so, then a beautiful belt such as our Bermuda belt is a fabulous choice. If it’s the shape of your face, then one of the simple but extremely elegant women’s headbands that we offer could be ideal. If it’s your happy feet, pedicured and looking their brightest best, accented with a vibrant nail paint that you wish to draw attention to, then choose a supremely comfortable women’s sandals from our lineup of designer women sandals, hand embellished with the most exotic of elements, ranging from beads to shells.

3. Remember that focus is the key

You can’t choose to highlight everything! So choose the feature you wish to emphasise. Is it the delicate detailing and hand embellished nature of your outfit? If so, one of our stunning handcrafted sandals to complement your ensemble, could be a smart choice. Our designer women’s sandals are handcrafted in pure vegan leather and hand embellished with delightfully exotic accents such as Czech glass beads, shells, tassels, threadwork and delicate embroidery. If your outfit is already intricately embellished or already heavily adorned, you might prefer to choose a head scarf or a head piece. We offer women’s hair bands or headbands that are simple yet elegant in design to match your ensemble. These extremely stylish yet minimalist handmade headbands will add a dash of pizzaz to your crowning glory. Again if you’re wearing a waisted dress or a jumpsuit that has a pronounced waist, then you may choose from our exquisitely embellished belts. These fabulous designer women’s belts come in subtle colours and amazing fabrics, all hand adorned with exotic beads, shells and tassels, among other things.

4. Choose your accessory

What is the right accessory for your outfit? A scarf that you can wrap around your neck or tie on your bag. An elegant headband that arrests the eye from moment one. Or is it a stunning piece of footwear, gorgeously handcrafted for maximum style and impact? Choose that accessory that will add maximum panache and then underplay the rest. Yet, here’s a word of caution: don’t over accessorise! Yes, there is such a thing as too much, and it can ruin the effect of a well chosen accessory.

5. Find your own style

Finally, it’s you who are the deciding factor. Your personality, your taste, your comfort levels with what you are wearing and how you carry off what you have chosen. If you’re quiet and reticent, obviously a loud and bold outfit or accessory may not really complement your self projection. You may prefer to choose a more subtle ensemble and downplay the colours and patterns of your accessory. Like in all fashion, your clothes and accoutrements are an expression of who you are. So choose what you genuinely like and feel comfortable in. Experiment a bit and try and discover your own unique sense of style.
