Our New Season Picks From Pandora's Latest Collection

PANDORA's new season offering includes everything you love from the Danish jewellery brand — sterling silver charm bracelets, delicate necklaces and sparkling crystals — with a touch of the unexpected. For a dose of ultra-femininity, whisper-soft pink Murano glass pendants make a bold statement when teamed with delicate cubic zirconias, while facet-cut charms create a brilliant display of light on everything from bracelets to earrings and necklaces.

If you're after something a little more dramatic, glass and pavé charms in black take things into a moody direction, and when teamed with the newly introduced modern silver bangle, the look is sleek and sophisticated. Staying true to its promise to offer something for everyone, vintage lovers can choose from a range of art-deco inspired details via lace embroidered charms and translucent green gemstones, while jet-setters can take a nautical sojourn with thanks to sparkling striped pavé charms in classic red and blue.

Accessory Of The Week: Iridescent Extras

When big-name labels like Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Proenza Schouler are leading the way, you know you can't really go wrong with this big trend.

When big-name labels like Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Proenza Schouler are leading the way, you know you can't really go wrong with this big trend. And we're talking big — big shine, big statement, big impact. Yep, iridescent colour ain't for the faint of heart. After being deemed one of the biggest trends on the catwalk at the Spring 2013 shows late last year, we swooned when we saw the oyster shell-effect skirt Raf Simons created for the Christian Dior lineup, and model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne worked a maxed-out metallic Burberry dress in reflective green. Not keen on all-over shine? Worry not, for we have found 10 of the best-looking ways to add a smaller touch of metal to your main look. Shoes, bags, earrings, the lot — the world is your oyster.

Accessory of the Week: Chokers Gone Chic

A few months ago we were all about the chunky choker, but inevitably, with trends moving faster than we can blink our eyes, our attention has now turned to more refined versions of these '90s-style neckpieces.

A few months ago we were all about the chunky choker, but inevitably, with trends moving faster than we can blink our eyes, our attention has now turned to more refined versions of these '90s-style neckpieces. Having spotted choker-queen Christine Centenera wearing finer black pieces at last month's various Fashion Weeks, and fashion writer Stephanie LaCava giving them a red-hot go too, we're sold on the idea of bringing these dainty necklaces back to life. There's no limit to the variations — think leather, velvet, mixed metals, all in thin, fine form. We've picked out ten of the most chic chokers we could find — and from Lanvin to Lincraft, there's an option to suit all budgets. Click through to check them out!

Our Pick of Pandora's New Season Jewellery Range

It's easy to think of charm bracelets when you first think of PANDORA, but did you know that the jewellery brand first started over 30 years ago in Denmark, and now boasts its own manufacturing facility, stockists in over 65 countries and more than 670 concept stores worldwide? It's no wonder that PANDORA designs a unique mix of fine jewellery and watches suitable for every age, style and continent today, including the iconic charm bracelets, which first came onto the scene in 2000 and get updated each season with new materials, designs and finishes.

The new season range of products takes the natural beauty of cherry blossoms and transforms rings, bracelets and earrings into delicate works of art featuring freshwater clustered pearls and pink enamel embellishments. Cherry blossom pavè and Murano glass charms adorn leather wrap bracelets, while barely-there rings provide strength in numbers by clever layering.

If you're after something a little more regal, PANDORA's popular crown charm is transformed into a pendant, crafted from solid sterling silver and set with 48 cubic zirconia gemstones, while sea-coloured glass charms pop against modern gunmetal grey bracelets. It seems PANDORA's mission to offer women across the world a universe of quality, hand-finished and modern jewellery at affordable prices has hit the mark, with pieces starting at just $39.

Oscars Trendspotting: Backwards Necklaces

Sparkling jewels and statement accoutrements are all part of the Oscars red-carpet formula, but this latest styling trick has it backwards (literally).

Sparkling jewels and statement accoutrements are all part of the Oscars red-carpet formula, but this latest styling trick has it backwards (literally). According to Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway, necklaces are just as glamorous from the back, leaving much of the "wow" factor for the parting glance. Lawrence — winner of the Best Actress award — draped a long 74-karat Chopard diamond bead necklace against her subtly-embroidered white-and-pale pink Christian Dior Couture gown, invoking an old school kind of elegance. While Hathaway — now the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award — went for a bolder look with a tassel-infused Tiffany & Co. necklace. Are you feeling the role reversal of tonight's most gorgeous jewels?

Black Forest: Let Miranda Kerr Inspire Your Edgy Summer Wardrobe

Summer is fast approaching, and while traditionally the warm season in Australia means bright colours and strappy sandals, that doesn't mean those of you who like your style a little edgier have to miss out on all the fun.

Summer is fast approaching, and while traditionally the warm season in Australia means bright colours and strappy sandals, that doesn't mean those of you who like your style a little edgier have to miss out on all the fun.

So easy, so versatile. Shop the look below!
