Need some newness in your wardrobe for 2018? We asked Ellie Adams, blogger babe at The Elle Next Door, to show us the bags, jewels and accessories that she’s crushin’ on right now. Here are her favourite five trends…

1. The Winter Warmers

I absolutely adore this combo – each piece is super-cosy and the colours work beautifully together to create the perfect wintery, girly look! The grey sequin hat has become a winter staple as it’s thermal so it keeps you toasty all day long. The matching mittens are also really cute – they keep your hands warm and they let you use your phone at the same time too. Practical and pretty! The scarf is another current wardrobe favourite. In a deep fuschia pink, this stand-out piece is so thick, cosy and beautifully soft too. Once you wrap yourself up in it, I promise you’ll never want to take it off.

2. The Metallic Backpack

Backpacks are such a key trend for this winter, as well as metallic – so this is definitely your go-to bag. I love that it looks amazing whilst also being super-practical.

3. The Fairisle Knits

One thing Accessorize do incredibly well is matching accessories, and this Fairisle knitted beanie hat and mittens are a perfect example of this. The beautiful, bright pattern do all the talking, meaning you can wear it with a neutral, effortless outfit.

4. The Embellished Bag

This stunning embellished bag is the perfect piece for a dressier occasion, and I adore the nude-hued, jewel tones as it just goes with so many looks and outfits.

5. Rose Gold Jewellery

Accessorize have been my go-to high street jewellery brand for a while now because not only do they nail every trend, but they also make classic wearable pieces too – just like these new season styles. This rose gold watch is beautifully flattering, chic and sophisticated, and these pretty stacking rings complement each other so well. I also love these layering bracelets – I’m much more of a fan of delicate jewellery than large statement pieces, and this bracelet is my favourite way of layering up without ever looking over the top.

I’m totally obsessed with these mismatched earrings. Worn with vintage denim and a white shirt, they do all the talking and add a gorgeous tribal twist to the look.

The second pair of statement earrings I chose were these gorgeous red beaded discs. The bright pop of red looks great worn with a patterned shirt – a fun way to beat those January blues!

It’s January and temperatures have really started to plummet, so blanket scarves are one of my favourite trends this season. This gorgeous monochrome one in a classic houndstooth print drapes beautifully and is super snuggly too.
