Always on-trend: Alexa Chung
An on-trend accessory can bring any old outfit right up-to-date. Knowing this, we have the must-have accessories that every girl should be buying for Spring 09.
A big trend for 2009 is the hair ribbon, and we predict that it is going to be the thing to accessory your hair with next year. Celebrities like Alexa Chung and Kelly Osborne, have been just a few people who have been spotted wearing ribbons in their hair. Wearing this Alice in Wonderland trend, adds a feminine and girly touch to any outfit. Tie a ribbon around a low ponytail or around a chignon to work this trend.
Oversize clutch bags are not just for night time anymore; they are now so on-trend that they can be worn anytime. They are so elegant and practical, that even how they have to be carried means you walk taller. This trend was big this year, but in 2009 it is going to be huge. They are available everywhere, from the high street to designer. Work this trend in the daytime for a change, when going for lunch with friends or out shopping.
The corsage was first seen on Carrie Bradshaw in the blockbuster, Sex and the City: The Movie. Now this trend is set to be huge in 2009. Johnny Loves Rosie is one of the most popular stockist of these kinds of accessories and they have some beautiful items to buy. Work this trend by attaching it to a dress, just like Carrie, or wear it on a headband as a great hair accessory.
Another accessory predicted to be big in 2009 is chunky and bold jewellery. Think huge over-the-top statement necklaces and art deco bangles. It's bigger the better come 2009, so if you're wearing bangles wear lots. Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Drew Barrymore have been spotted wearing bangles. Just remember that if you're going for lots of bangles, let them do the talking - keep hair and make-up to a minimum.
Finally the biggest trend for accessories in 2009 will be Kate Moss' new range at Topshop. The model has just agreed to extending her range at the high street giants to include accessories. With the success of her clothing range there is sure to be a great buzz when her accessories are revealed. We predict that her range is going to include some of the hottest things to be wearing in 2009.
