A bindi is decorative body sticker that comes in all sorts of sizes and designs.  They are fantastic fashion accessories that you can wear all year round and anyone can wear a bindi.  Traditionally bindis are worn on the centre of your forehead.  Today, the modern bindi is used for  decorative purposes, whether it is at a wedding, festive occasions or for everyday use.  

 Body tattoo bindis are designed so that you can place them anywhere on your body which is fun for all ages.

This is the start of a new year and the start of all the wonderful fashion and accessories we have yet to witness.

With the 2010 Golden Globes held this month we see dazzling couture jewelry down the red carpet.  So it’s a safe bet to say that statement jewellery will be expected at glamorous events.  And what will we do without costume jewellery that is designed so we can wear accessories like our favourite celebrities.

Costume jewelry (also known as fashion jewelry) has been created to make jewellery more affordable in our ever changing lifestyles.  Everyday jewelery include items such as necklace sets with matching earrings, bangles, bracelets and rings.  Hair accessory (hair clips and hair bands) are making a comeback this year.

Unique jewellery items like  Indian tikas and panjas (hand bracelet jewellery) are accessories that are not easily available down your local high street and can only be found in ethnic shops or online at Asian Glitz and Asian Designs.

Celebrate this Christmas with dazzling fashion jewellery.  Even if we cannot afford that LBD we have had our eye on, accessorising ourselves with costume jewelry is an inexpensive way of glamorising an old outfit.  What’s so great about fashion jewelry is that they come in a variety of colours that will suit everyone and match all outfits.

Crystal dangly earrings are a must have fashion piece this season.  Every movement you make with your head the swaying crystal earrings will alway catch the light and make them sparkle.

Or how about ‘blessing’ your finger with a flamboyant cocktail ring.  Sipping a glass of champagne with an eye-dropping ring on your finger has never looked so sexy.

Accessorising with jewellery is endless fun; you’ll never get tired when fashion is constantly changing.

** Have a wonderful Christmas from all at Asian Glitz **

This autumn I am delighted to say that blue is in fashion and not just in two shades.  There are now oodles of them ranging from teal to cobalt.  So even if we cannot carry off neon blue anymore do not fear as there are plenty of blue shades to choose from.  Why not start adding touches of blue fashion jewellery and accessories to your daily wear.

What is your favourite shade of blue?  Let us know we would love to hear from you.

We all know less is more when it comes to fashion as seen with celebrities on the red carpet.  If you are like me and attending an elaborate party, we might just splash out on a stunning outfit.  The dress is probably a little too expensive but then this does not happen too often.  But how do we accessorise?…

This is where the ‘less is more’ comes into play by not going overboard with the accessories.  Silver based jewelry seems to be the colour to wear whether it is a single chunky bangle on one arm or just a dazzling pair of chandelier earrings.  If a necklace is needed (without earrings) then teaming it up with a fabulous cocktail ring will do wonders.

Here is a selection of eye-catching occasional costume jewellery:

Rhodium Diamante Bangles in Size 2.8

Oval Dome Ring in Silver

Jet Black Crystal Drop Earrings in Silver

So what do you think?  How do you dress up for occassions?

This summer’s trend we see some of the 80′s fashion returning, such as neon coloured clothes, leg warmers and leggings.  If you’re not quite brave enough to wear neon then why not have some fun with some brightly coloured fashion jewellery and accessories!

As we all know Indian / Asians are renowned for brightly coloured costume jewelleries to match their stunning outfits, such as traditional Indian necklaces, bangles, earrings and even Indian bindis.  Here at Asian Glitz we offer authentic Indian costume jewelerywith a touch of bollywood elegance all at affordable prices.

Our favourite neon jewellery for this summer is this stunning hot orange crystal necklace set at £28.00 which includes matching earrings and tika.  With orange bangle sets to match at £14.00 per set.
