Hannah Warner’s Skull and Bones jewellery collection exudes unusual beauty. Daring creativity results in bone bangles, skull rings and necklaces and fang and claw earrings. Pure statement pieces for the bold fashionista.
The designs are set in gold, silver or black rhodium with some pieces adorning rubies and sapphires to add a bit of sparkle and depth. The collection is not something you see everyday which is why Hannah’s designs are so popular. Women are always searching for that unique piece of jewellery which could be treasured forever.
The Skull and Bones range is ultra versatile too! Add a pair of fang earrings to a day outfit or go for a full statement look in the evening and adorn bone bangles and a skull necklace.
Jewellery doesn’t have to be dainty and feminine – and this collection proves it!
Now is the perfect time to start looking for a trusty winter coat ladies. It may still be warm and sunny, but the cold months are slowly creeping our way and many stores are starting to get in pieces from their Autumn/Winter 2011 collections.
One of my favourite fashion brands Mint Velvet has a gorgeous range of coats in their AW11 collection in a variety of sophisticated and chic designs. From sport luxe parkas to fur style detailing it’s going to be pretty hard to choose a coat from this gorgeous range. Trench coats in classic styles are ideal for day and work events whilst funnel neck and wide sleeve designs make stunning evening coats. Versatile shades of brown, camel, grey, black and red means you can play around with different outfits and come up with some gorgeous looks for winter 2011!
Less than 2 years on when Mint Velvet was launched the brand has become more and more popular as the beautiful textures fused with the season’s key looks is what women want these days. Effortlessly chic, wearable pieces make Mint Velvet’s collections modern and can be worn again and again.

Celebrities such as Kate Moss, Beyonce and Kate Hudson are fans of fashion brand Muks (the original Mukluk Boot) which offer style, comfort and pure luxury. For Autumn/Winter 2011 we can see the arrival of the new LUXE Muks range.
Worth every penny the LUXE collection sees a hint of 1970s Bohemia and is made up of gorgeous knee-high wedge styles as well as ankle boots with a Mongolian trim. They are fully-lined with shearling and come in luxury styles of lavish blue fox, sheared Canadian beaver, chinchilla, and Mongolian lamb. The subtle colour palette of brown, black and grey gives this collection versatility and makes them must-haves for the cold months ahead. These are not for the faint hearted!
Studded suede and luxurious fur is what gives the Mukluk its modern feel and look whilst still retaining its Native Canadian Aboriginal and 70s bohemian inspirations. The Original Boot and Classic Half Boot continues in the AW11 Collection but are updated with colour ways in taupe, soul tan and deep blue. Each beautiful style features fur and suede in muted tones, with hand-finished beading in diamond, or more traditional chevron patterns. These ultra stylish boots will fit perfectly into your winter wardrobe. Teamed with a pair of skinny jeans and a chunky jumper, you can’t go wrong!
The Muks Wrap Collection is available in a stunning winter palette of deep blues and moka brown, embellished with three-way stitched beadwork in moss green, sand, chocolate and sage. They are guaranteed to keep your feet cosy and warm and the wrap detailing gives the range a contemporary feel. An added bonus is that they come in short and tall versions too depending on what style you are after!

Add a pair of retro style sunglasses, a classic patent grab bag and a flower necklace to your day outfit. Little heels will complete the look.
