stylexpert: Glitz and Glamour

This S/S we have already seen a lot of glitz and glamour in fashion, but with the Jubilee just around the corner, there must not be anything better that splashing out on a new ring or neckless, and start your shiny, shimmering jewellery collection now ]. As well as adding some shine why don't you think along the lines of country queen style and look like you have just been brought from the dorset countryside. These two concepts are both inspired by that of the Jubilee.

The style, country Queen can be achieved through first adopting coloured such as chestnut / mustard, for the main colour topic, and to accessories you need bright colours, at the same time however remember to keep it dated. Shoes are a key aspect as well as you need shoes which fit into the plimsole model and preferably have a jewel or tassel at the end of the toe.

High wasted trousers, mustard coloured, with a tank top overlapping a white shirt and an over quilted jacket with bright coloured accessories would bring a perfect look to country queen.

Pearl earrings, headscarfs, Louis Vuitton shoes, Hunter wellies even, adapted with a Barbour jacket, and leather bag would be another interesting, successful and unique look for the streets of where ever you are.

If you really wanted to push the boat out, a nice ruffled dress, (pale colours) and gold shoulder bags, with heavy jewels around the neck, with a cropped cardigan could stand for a lovely look as well.

For a typical, well UK, I say typical I mean on a, usually one off sunny week/day if you want to stay with the country Queen, you will need to bring out the light coloured hat, maybe with a patent leather bag, pastel? Then a dress with a petter pan collar, maybe a button shirt, pale coloured again, and to accessories along with that a straw bag ? High hell (low heel) pale shoes, with knee-high socks, also not to forget the high wasted shorts.

Also look for your perfect pattern which works with this style. Think floral, think strips, think art deco, it is for you to decide what to wear now.... all i can say is compare yourself to early pictures of the queen.
