Since the Autumn/Winter ’11 Chanel Couture show proved that feathers can bring a new form of elegance to a line, the fashion world has been feather mad. Isabel Marant has released a pair of delicate feather earrings that blend into this trend so easily, that it would be a crime not to mention them.

Statement rings are very popular at the moment, and this season the animal ring is set to replace the skull as a must-have item. This ring in the shape of a moth is breathtaking – beautifully embellished with Swarovski crystals and marcasites stones.

This season earrings should be chunky – the bigger the better. These Eucharis earrings from All Saints are perfect for that purpose, with large pieces of black cut marble encased in a metal frame.

I love charm necklace and bracelets. They can be great for recreating a fond memory or an interesting conversation starter. One of my favourite necklaces is a charm of a pot of tea with a cup, although that may soon change on seeing this piece. I love the travel inspired charms – the postcard and Eiffel Tower.

Folk is a very big trend in Autumn/Winter ’11 which means digging out those old friendship bracelets from when you were small. If you don’t have any, why not consider starting your collection with this gorgeous plaited cord bracelet with navy blue dangling glass heart charm? I really like the stirling silver beads, an embellishment that make this look like it has been made at home by someone very talented.
