Brace yourself with Celebrity Style

By Abigail Collins


No outfit is complete without the finishing touches, whether it is for a big girly night out, a family dinner or even for a normal day at work - it adds that special something which makes you stand out from the crowd. Not only do you feel good at the time, but the fun of it is in choosing the look itself - taking inspiration from the glossy images of the beautiful fashion icons of today.

Jewellery was once something only the rich could enjoy. Diamonds and other precious jewels were out of reach for the common shopper. But today with costume jewellery, anybody can be and feel as glamorous as the expensively adorned, without having to pinch pennies! Luxury and excitement are achievable with something simple, like a bracelet.

A dextrous accessory, there are: thick or thin bangles, delicate chains or cute charm bracelets. They balance out exposed skin, especially when paired with a party dress, and can complement a jacket or add glitz to a plain jumper.

The woman to look to for ideas on how and what to wear when it comes to accessories is, of course, Cheryl Cole. Loved by men and women she has become a fashion icon to people of all ages, continually gracing our magazines with fashion easily imitated by the public. She has been known to wear sparkling bangles to offset simple dresses, or to wear charm bracelets with personal choices of charms which meanings even the press can't guess.

Reality star Kim Kardashian has a very distinct fashion style, which has made her one of the most photographed women of recent times. Her choice of strong pieces including deep 'cuff' style bangles and armlets which incorporate semi-precious stones and crystals for extra bling, add to her appeal, which varies from the chic simplicity of the 1930s, to more complex and exciting looks which are bang up to date. Kim's a great fan of layering bracelets and bangles too. Those long slender arms can take lots and lots, worn at once for a dramatic effect.

Pixie Lott is known for not only having a beautiful voice but a beautiful everything else too! In true Pixie form, she often goes for delicate bracelets, which add a touch of glamour to her outfit. Usually silver, she ranges from chains, links and cords but has also been known to go for a heavy wooden bangle which emphasises her dainty features.

Pick from high street stores, the internet, catalogues or market stalls; your resources for bracelets are unlimited. Glam yourself up with oriental or futuristic designs, mix vintage and neo-modern styles together and make a truly unique ensemble. Take advantage of today's range of resources. There are a huge variety of interesting materials that can make beautiful jewellery cheap. Go green by visiting markets or adopting second hand jewellery. Or, treat yourself with an investment piece you know you'll always wear.

There is no such thing as a wrong answer when it comes to style, whether you want to put all of your prized possessions on at once so you feel like a superstar, or just the one statement piece to accentuate your features, as long as it makes you feel just as special and glamorous as you are it is doing the right thing.
