Animals prints are big this season and the key to wearing them well is keeping it subtle. There are so many great leopard print heels and flats available which will go with just about anything and take you from the office to dinner effortlessly.
If you want to add a touch more animal print to your look a scarf is the perfect way to do it. Just make sure that the rest of your outfit comprises of block colours to avoid clashing with other patterns.
Red lipstick
Red lipstick always adds an instant lift to your look on a rainy day. When choosing your shade, make sure you consider your skin tone and hair colour. You might be more suited to an orange or pink red rather than other shades. If possible, get some advice when you are purchasing it. One more thing to note is make sure you select a lipstick that has a lip moisturiser in it. Lipstick may not apply well if your lips are dry.
This is great to pull out and slick on after work if you are heading out for dinner or drinks or if you feel you just need a bit of a pick me up.
Long chunky knit scarf
The large knit scarf never left from last season and not only does it keep you warm but it looks great and depending on the colour, can really lift your outfit. If you are wearing greys, blacks and whites, go for a red chunky knit scarf to brighten things up. Dark greens have also made a comeback this season so a touch of olive is also a good option.
The knit should be thick like a cable knit or something as equally as chunky. This will make for easy draping around the neck and across the body.
A large ring full of diamonds or precious stones
Every woman needs a bit of ring bling this season. This trend is for day and night and suitable for work and play. The key when your looking at rings is to choose one that will suit the colours you wear. It's also good if you can, to invest in a dress ring that is silver or gold which wont tarnish and you'll have for years to come. Diamond rings can be quite pricey, but there are some stunning silver and gold rings with cubic zirconias that look fabulous. Remember: choose a ring that reflects your own personal style.
