It’s nearly spring. And let’s talk about some spring fashion trends 2009. I want to tell you about earrings for Spring 2009.

Store bold and massive necklace in your jewellery box. The next step is the chunky hanging earrings.

The spring runway fashion shows which were held in the autumn 2008, display different beautiful earrings.

They were in diamond barbell form at Jil Sander, in 80s retro plastic fan formed earrings by Proenza Schouler.

Other designers experimented with peel.

The candelabrum style beauties are dangling, massive and a fixed show stopper.

Do not be afraid to experiment, if you chose silver styles, Swarovski crystals or gemstones, and let your mind fly just as long as they are huge.

In fact, the larger, the better!

On a cold winter day you can hardly do without a hat.

Some women prefer not to wear any headwear as it may ruin hair styling and spoil the whole image. However, the hat is not only a nice accessory, it is a practical piece of clothing that keeps you warm and your hair beautiful.

This article is for those who take care about their wellness and at the same time want to remain trendy even in the icy weather.

There is a great variety of hat styles that allows each lady to make her own choice.

The main hat trend of this season is a beret. I guess berets will always be in fashion. They can become narrower or wider but they are invariably popular among women all over the world.

Monochromatic classic, bright or solemn black berets are very fashionable this season. There is one peculiarity though – this winter berets often have different embellishments and brooches.

You can wear your favorite beret a bit sideways or far backwards in style of 1970s. See for beret designs in collections by Donna Karan, Chanel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, Ralph Lauren, Stephen Jones and others.

Knitted hats have always been popular among teenagers and this season they can be worn by hot beauties as well. Knitted hats are warm and nice to wear in winter.

Winter is a nice, beautiful season but there are certain things that irritate us about it.

It is of course the temperature and lack of colours. Everything looks so monotonous… grey, faded and drab. White snow looks perfect but sooner or later you get bored of it.

That is why it is so important to choose color palette for your winter clothes.

It should cheer you up, comfort and give positive emotions. Fashion for winter 2009 is rather contradictory in this respect. Black and grey are the hottest trend colours, though one can hardly describe them as optimistic or invigorating.

Here are ten colours that will be popular this winter:

Black

No wonder it is again in fashion. Designers love it and we do either. It seems to be comfortable, practical, noble, and what is even more important - black creates a leaner image of us.

Besides, it goes well with all closing items we have in the wardrobe. Black garments do not usually become old-fashioned; in case they do you can wear them as vintage ones.

Zac Pozen, Sandler, Chanel, Rad Hourani

The peculiarity of fashion for black in this season is that every item of our outfit should be black – headwear, a scarf, a blouse, a skirt or trousers, a coat or a jacket, tights (black opaque tights are a hot winter trend) and of course footwear (shoes or boots).

Accessorize your look with black gloves and a bag of the same colour.

Black and white

This season the combination of black and white takes on special significance. These tints are vastly included into office and business style outfits and evening wear as well.

Temperley, Julien MacDonald, Naeem Khan, Jens Laugesen

It looks elegant and is rather practical because you can wear the garments of this colour mix for various occasions accessorizing your looks with various bags and jewellery.

I could not believe it when I received the phone call from New York; I honestly thought it was a wind up! You don’t get much bigger than New York Fashion Week.

To be showing in one of the most prominent fashion cities in the world, alongside such well-established designers, is just phenomenal. It will be a huge honour and a fantastic opportunity for us to shine under the international spotlight, and to establish Ultimo on a global level.

A singer, an actress, a beauty queen, a fashion designer, … that’s still not enough for Beyonce Knowles. According to the recent reports, the star and her mom Tina Knowles are adding a jewelry line to their already-successful brand House of Dereon.

Dereon has reportedly partnered with Carolee Jewelry to create a fashion jewelry collection. Carolee also produces jewelry for Lauren by Ralph Lauren, ABS by Allen Schwartz and Brooks Brothers.

The mother-daughter design team will create a complete collection of jewels consisting of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. All jewelry pieces will incorporate various metals, man-made pearls, crystals and more.

I am so passionate about jewelry. As both a designer and a stylist, I know the important role jewelry plays in completing your total look,” Tina Knowles said in the statement.

I love accessories and we’ve always used a lot of accessories, so it was a natural thing for us to do,” said Tina Knowles, creative director. “For the first collection, I wanted to do a lot of things taken from the street. One of the things I love to do is walk on the streets of New York or Brooklyn and see what the kids are doing, and that goes with our mantra - catwalk meets sidewalk. I saw a lot of filled hoops and charm bracelets, that’s what the kids are wearing these days.”

She (Beyonce) was a dressmaker and she loved jewelry,” Tina Knowles said. “I have some of her brooches from the Forties, during her time of fashion. She was an accessories person as well and it’s great to carry that on.”

The collection is said to be affordable with prices ranging from $16- $68. The new Knowles jewelry line is said to hit stores in spring 2009.
