Getting a personal invite to the Cannes Festival is like finding a Golden Ticket to the Wonka Factory in your favourite slab of choccie. Most only get to view the glitzy undertakings from the comfort of a couch. So while rambling down the red-carpet in Cannes is reserved for the selected few, the style and glamour of the event is available to a closet near you.

The evening dress code for this particular film festival is absolutely black tie fabulous. Stealing this style would mean busting out a long gown. Floor sweeping numbers need not be boring – opt for a fresh design to add some spice. Oversized ice and jewels are the order of accessories so splash out on pieces like the Grand Accolade or Sunset Boulevard rings or the Grand Premiere Bangle. If a short cocktail dress feels more your style, keep it on-trend with tones of pastels, sparkling colours and striking red – a firm and audacious choice of the stars.

Filch the fashion of the highly anticipated opening film of the festival, The Great Gatsby. The 1920’s mode is both desirable and classic and has been borrowed by plenty of celebs for previous red-carpet events. Add pearls and a striking glittering head piece to round the look off perfectly.

It does well to remember that when piecing an outfit together, vivid and even neon coloured hues such as fuchsia pink, tangerine orange and teal blue are all prevalent participants on the spring/summer 2013 runways. If you opt for a more classic style of dress, add a burst of colour with a bright accent from heels to handbags. Subtle jewellery like the Lace Trimmed Emerald Cut Earrings will add a Parisian chic style to the overall look.

Each year sees the grounds of the Royal Hospital being transformed into spectacular gardens and vivacious horticultural displays for what has got to be the world’s most famed flower show. The Chelsea Flower Show has become a principal venue for watching gardening trends. The show boasts the launching of new plants and the revival of older popular varieties. The Chelsea Flower Show is to garden design what the Paris Fashion Week is to clothing.

Celebrating a wedding anniversary is a meaningful event which happens annually. It is important to celebrate or at least acknowledge the day. That is not to say that just sending a card should ever cut it. While it might be difficult to draw inspiration and come up with creative gifts each and every year, there are some tips to making the wedding anniversary gift giving process a lot less stressful and way more enjoyable for both parties concerned.

As the day seems to pop up when you least expect it, use a free reminder service to alert you of the occasion as it creeps up. This gives you time to plan – a top restaurant booking, a romantic weekend away or having something personalised.

Paying attention in the weeks leading up to the special occasion might eliminate all the guess work entirely. Keep your ears open for hints that are dropped about items that are needed. This also works in reverse. A good few weeks before the anniversary is a great time to start throwing suggestions out there about what it is YOU want and desire.

All that sparkles and shimmers is a gift that keeps on giving. From the awe at the moment of opening the box to the pride with each envious comment made on the beauty and exquisiteness of your attractive accessory, you simply cannot ignore the wonder of the perfect gift of jewellery.

There is no real need to wait 10 years for a brilliant diamond or 15 years for a ravishing ruby. Drop hints for iridescent items like the Centre of Attention Pendant – explaining exactly all you should be. A Swirl of Romance Ring might be just the thing to put a bit of ardour into the evening. Solitaire Heart Earrings are a subtle yet stunning way to express love and admiration. And if you feel you have it all in the accessory alley (is that possible?) perhaps express your yearning for a Heart-shaped Jewellery Box to stash all your sparklies in.

There are, without doubt, those people that feel the need to always bring on the bling at every opportunity. Granted there are occasions that require the ultimate glitterati, like a cocktail party or an evening soiree. Sometimes the occasion is simply not suited for excessive shimmer though.

Physical activity is one such time. There is no valid motive for wearing accessories to a place of exercise. It is far easier when gripping a dumbbell to do so with bare fingers than those fitted with chunky rings. Besides the obvious pain factor and lack of necessary grasp, you do damage to your beloved accessories causing scratches and possibly dents. Dangly items are a big no-no as they do little other than fly around inopportunely and collect sweat.

That being said however, it does not mean that jewellery and exercise do not mix at all. The revered London Marathon is a fantastic and fabulous place to flaunt some shimmering trinkets – from the side-lines of course! There is no rule that states spectators and supporters cannot glam up while observing and cheering. The delicate tinkle and chime of accessories is almost as captivating as the glittering sparkle given off by iridescent gems in the sunlight.

By adding shimmering numbers like the Pink Parfait or the Brilliant Sunset rings, each wave of the hand will command attention. A few bangles will add a melodious tone to supportive claps.

Sporty dresses are all a trend this spring. Flirty A-line skirts and shoulder bearing bodices will certainly mesmerise some males this season. Take this trend to the marathon and add some pop with fantastic ear jewels like the Starry Nights or the Trilogy earrings. A subtle yet striking necklace like the Joy de Vivre Pendant is the pièce de résistance of accessory delight.
