Just because you’re staying in, doesn’t mean your accessories (and hair) can’t stand out – so the most stylish members of Team Accessorize are sharing their styling tips.

@henna.randhawa

First up, here’s Henna with 3 easy looks to keep your quarantine hair looking fresh.

zoom happy hour

Anyone else lost track of the Zoom happy hours, and meetings, they’ve attended?! We sure have. Look your best on your next call with little effort by taking inspo from Henna’s double clip look. Embrace your natural hair or go all out and curl your locks.

If you’re shying away from heat tools to give you hair a much-needed break, Henna suggests plaiting damp hair and leaving overnight. The next morning you’ll have dreamy waves.

 

garden glam

As warmer weather graces us with its presence we’re dreaming of the days where we’d dress up to head to the pub or the park. Instead of missing out, we’re popping on our favourite summer dresses and taming our manes with new season headbands. Bonus points for taking selfies like Henna, after all, the rare moments of glam need to be documented!

 

nine to thrive

First, we were asking if sweatpants were acceptable work attire and now we’re turning up to our desks in bikinis and activewear and calling it dressing up for work (hey, we put clothes on after all!)

Ensure your top half is fresh and fancy with an easy updo, complete with an on-trend scrunchie. The best part is this ’90s must-have takes the attention from the fact you haven’t washed your hair in a few days…

The days are longer and sunnier and we are dreaming of picnics, festivals and outdoor cinemas. Just because summer looks a little different than anticipated, doesn’t mean these things are cancelled. We just have to get … creative.

With a little preparation (and a super cute outfit) you can be dancing in the sun all day long, watching your favourite film under the stars and sipping on Pimms while Serena Williams dances on the court.

Picnics

Let’s start simple with a picnic – a chance to eat all the delicious summer goodies while lazing in the sun and reading a good book.  The good news is that you can still do this! Either pop your blanket in the garden or on the patio or take a trip to the park. (following the rules, please!)

If you miss your friends, why not do it all together (over Zoom, of course). Share some of your fave recipes and maybe take it one step further reading the same book.

Festival

Ah, the event of the summer for many. There are few things more fun than dancing and singing to music you love with your besties. Well, the good news is you can still do this! Create a shared playlist on Spotify, or YouTube if you fancy music videos, pop on Zoom and have a festival dance party.  Don’t forget to dress up, cause that’s one of the best parts of the day, right?!

Make it even more authentic by lining up outside the toilet for at least 5 minutes!

Wimbledon

As one of the most anticipated sporting occasions of the summer, Wimbledon is also an excuse to show off your sophisticated style, and why should you miss out!? Pop on some tennis (YouTube is handy), grab some fresh strawberries and cream, make a Pimms and put on your winning outfit.

Don’t forget your Wimbledon-essential Panama Hat.

Outdoor cinema

Watching a film you love under the stars is pretty damn special! So, do it at home. Get together all your blankets and pillows, pop some popcorn and get the projector set up. If you don’t have a projector, just huddle around your laptop.

As we all adapt to the new normal we’re presented with, there’s no denying we are all feeling a little … weird. 

It’s totally ok to feel a bit overwhelmed and confused, which is why while we stay at home and make a new routine, we need to make sure we prioritise our mental health all day, every day, not just during mental health week. 

We’ve got you covered with top tips from our team. 

 

Practice mindful walking 

This combines walking with mindfulness and it helps you tune into your environment and the present moment – stopping you from walking on autopilot.

It’s pretty easy, start your walk by standing still for a minute and take in the environment around you, the smells, the sounds, the sights. Start walking and do this as you go, also thinking about the actual walking – how does your body feel. 

Most importantly, focus on your breath – deep and steady.

It can take a few days before you feel fully in tune, but it is an easy practice to master. There are also plenty of apps and podcasts that can help guide you through it!

Get into Journaling

Journalling is a great way to look after your mental health. Whether you use it as a way to write lists of things you love and want to achieve or as a time to reflect, it helps you recognise the things that are important to you.

Try with these prompts:

What are you grateful for?
How am I feeling?
How do you practice self-love?
Write a list of the things that make you happy – from big things to the smallest things.
What are some of your best memories?

 

Do at-home workouts

We all know exercise is key for our mental health. We love starting our day with yoga or pilates. Try and schedule it into your day, whether it’s morning yoga with the family or lunchtime Pilates class! Also, get creative for weights – filled drink bottles are handy, or cans, or wine bottles!

 

Drink plenty of water

At work, we tend to make more trips to the kitchen for a chat or to actually get a drink! At home, we tend to eat more … but can forget about drinking water. Grab yourself a bottle and keep it filled throughout the day. Plus, drinking water is great for your health and skin! 

Friendly faces

It’s also so important that you continue to talk to your friends and work colleagues. Set aside 15 minutes a day for a ‘coffee’ with a work friend or 30 minutes a night once a week to chat with your best friend.

During these unprecedented times, we are all looking for ways to spread cheer and hope, so it’s no surprise rainbows are popping up everywhere, from windows to our wardrobes.  A rainbow is a universal symbol for hope and also represents brighter times after a storm, or in this case a crazy uncertain time. Today it’s also a thank you to those doing their bit to create a safer community. 

We are embracing this newfound adoration of multicolour with accessories that bring a smile to our faces. Whether we are staying in or taking our daily stroll, there’s something to brighten up every aspect of day-to-day life.

 

Technicolour Chill

Bring your lockdown lounging to a (bright) new level with our cosy rainbow scarves and socks. Pop on our rainbow rings, bracelet and hair clips for Thursday claps! 

 

Walk The Stripe Way

Make your outing a stylish affair with our rainbow tote, cardholders and socks – perfect for spreading a little joy on your supermarket trip.

 

Oh Look At Hue

Pick up something brilliantly bright for your little ones and spread a little extra cheer during Thursday claps (and every other day).

 

Bright Spark

Ensure your homeschool classroom (and office) is as colourful as can be with our rainbow stationery.

We’re dreaming of brighter days, where our skin is sunkissed, our hair waves with saltwater curls and we’re wearing our swimwear all day, every day.

While our summer expectations might be a bit different from reality (our backyard and Hyde Park VS the Med…) we can still make our summer dreams come true. From long walks through the park to sunbathing on your patio, here are the hottest swimsuits that can be worn right now!

Swimsuits make the perfect layer. Whether it’s a bodysuit or a crop top, they’re oh-so-cool paired with denim shorts, a floaty skirt or a linen suit – the list goes on!

Our Top Picks

Take the look even further and be a little daring by pairing your favourite swimwear with something sheer – think, kaftans and belted kimonos.

We’ve put together a few of our favourite looks. 

Park to (Zoom) Party

This colourful day time look will bring cheer to your (safe distance) park catch-up with your BFF. Add a gold chain and bold headband for an ‘oh-this-old-thing’ happy hour outfit. 

 

Patio to Snack Run

Belt your kaftan and you’ll have a look that’ll take you from tanning at home to Tescos. Add gold accessories for an effortless dressed-up-to-leave-the-house look.

Just because you’re spending most of your time indoors, doesn’t mean you can’t jazz up your outfit with trending accessories.

There’s something nice about popping on a mood-boosting pair of earrings or a nice headband during these uncertain times – especially when your outfits are a rotation of sweatpants and activewear (which you are not being active in!)

That’s why we’ve made a list of this season’s best accessories trends that are perfect for adding a little cheer to your everyday. Plus, even if you’re wearing sweatpants on the bottom it means you look super chic and professional for your video calls!

 

STATEMENT EARRINGS

This season statement earrings are the collection hero, making any outfit fabulous – even your sweatpants. If you’re feeling brave, try out another trend of the season and just wear one (we like this look paired with a side braid and a cute clip.)

We love…

The Gold Face Earrings, Eclectic Stone Drop Earrings and Opal Teardrop Earrings.

OVERSIZED CHAINS

Chains have been having a moment over the last few seasons, from it-girls on Instagram to everyone’s collection. This season, it’s all about bigger and bolder chains, either add them to your stack as a statement piece or wear alone for an effortlessly cool look.  

We love…

The Gold Plated Chunky Necklace, Chunky Chain Collar Necklace and Chain Collar Necklace.

 

RHINESTONE

Remember as a kid you adored everything bedazzled? Well, this is the grown-up version of the trend you loved so much.

We love…

The Sparkle Chandelier Earrings, Bib Necklace and Crystal Collar Necklace.

BOLD COLOUR

We love to have fun with our accessories (obviously), which is why we are all over this colourful and cheerful trend. It’s like an explosion of colour in our jewellery collection!

We love…

The Torque Stone Necklace, Pressed Flower Earrings and Multi-stripe Drop Earrings.

BIG HOOPS

One of our favourite contenders for ‘most versatile jewellery’ is the hoop! And this season anything goes; big, sparkly, chunky, twisted. We love them all.

We love…

The Crystal Hoop Earrings, Chunky Hoop Earrings and Gold-Plated Large Hoops
