Jewellery Buzz at London Fashion Week

It seems that jewellery could become more prominent at this year’s London Fashion Week – fabulous news for all you fashion-forward jewellery lovers!

A brand new initiative has been set up by British jeweller Stephen Webster and the British Fashion Council (BFC) with the aim of supporting, showcasing and promoting the UK’s jewellery design talent at London Fashion Week.  Named the BFC Rock Vault, the new initiative is due to launch at Somerset House during London Fashion Week – 17^th-21^st February, 2012.

We all know that Katy Perry has been having a tough time lately and after her recent seperation from hubby Russell Brand it seems that she’s decided to dye that man right out of her hair. The 27 year old singer and queen of vibrant hair colours, has gone for a new turquoise bob, in an attempt to create a fresh new look post split.  We're loving the colour and think it will look fab with some of the bracelets and necklaces in our newsterling silver jewellery collection.

If you’ve been driven dotty with the spotty trend then don’t despair, a new trend’s in town and it’s stripey. You’re going to see lots of striped clothing in the shops this season but that doesn’t mean that you have to dress like a barcode to look OTM! We’re here to share a few accessorising secrets so that you can keep your cool by simply nodding to the striped trend with Annie Haak sterling silver jewellery.

Since 2009, Annie Haak has been creating the perfect jewellery to compliment the Little Black Dress (LBD) so that we girls can look our very best, whether we're attending a glamorous function or going out on the town. But did you know that Annie Haak has plenty of gorgeously glittering accessories to go with that LLD too?

There’s nothing more special than receiving a gift that’s been personalised or designed just for you, especially when it’s sterling silver jewellery from Annie Haak Designs.

Annie Haak Designs jewellery is perfect for mixing and matching, stacking and layering and we have so many beautifully crafted sterling silver charms to choose from that we can help you create a truly unique charm bracelet or charm necklace. You can add your own personal touch to bracelet as a treat for yourself or create an extra special gift for an extra special person.

WIth dark mornings and cold days upon us we can imagine that, like us, you’re reaching for warm layers, thick socks and UGG boots when you climb out of bed. That’s one of the beauties of the Winter wardrobe – the excuse to wear lots of lovely layers and add a bit of colour and texture to our lives.

This season it seems that texture is being well and truly embraced, especially when you consider the fabulous patchwork-style crochet-esque creation that House of Holland have recently flounced on the catwalks. There are already lots of High Street versions inspired by this design including jumpers, dresses and tights, all combining texture with bright and bold colours. May we suggest some fabulous sterling silver jewellery with a mix of semi-precious gemstones and silver charms to complete this look? Yes, we thought you might be interested...

It seems that the 1920s are making a comeback for Spring/Summer. The S/S12 catwalk shows revealed some fabulous 20s-inspired creations with a focus very much on Art Deco styling – lots of straight lines, low waists and fringing. This can only mean one thing for accessories: long luxurious sterling silver chains, pretty pearls and tassels galore! 

Got a friend with a birthday in January? Treat her with something gorgeous from Annie Haak Designs. We know that she will feel extra special when you choose something from our gorgeous collection of sterling silver jewellery and we’re here to help you pick out the perfect birthday gift. Here are some suggestions that will make your best friend look and feel amazing.

Bright and bold is big news this season but what colours are you stepping out in, and what does your choice of colour say about you. Last week’s Now magazine reported that ladies who wear blue give off a vibe that they’re creative and communicative. Shades from cerulean to indigo are thought to convey confidence as well as intelligence and stability.

So it sounds like it you're after a new job or payrise in 2012, then blue is the colour you should be channelling.

Annie Haak has many designs that will compliment blocks of blue this season or even add a bit of sophistication to other trends. You’ll find everything from sapphire gemstone and sterling silver earrings and rings to turquoise and sterling silver necklaces and bracelets in our new collection.

Not only are leopard and tiger skin prints back and busy but animal prints including everything from cutesy ponies to playful pooches are sooo hot this season too. Celebs from Kourtney Kardashian to Diana Vickers have been spotted out and about in animal graphics just lately. Style Queen Victoria Beckenham has been photographed in a cat print tunic in next season’s colours – animal print is here to stay!
