Rae Bradshaw – EC One Guest Blogger Winner

Rae Bradshaw is currently studying jewellery design and lives in Hertfordshire. She also writes a lovely, image-led jewellery blog called The Magpie Diaries, where she introduces new designers and lovely jewels which have  caught her eye. Here is Rae’s winning entry…

The tribal trend is seen in spring/summer catwalks every year yet never gets tired. Fantastic bright prints are mixed with bold jewellery and soft tan leather accessories to create a summer look which can go from the city to the beach. This stunning ASOS print dress works well alongside the Mango bag, fringed AND studded (very S/S 2010) and this selection of jewellery from EC One and its designers create an over the top layered style. My favourites are the Grecian style earrings, the gold tribal necklace and the drusy quartz ring, with this style gold works best and big stones make big statements.
