1. BOLD IS BEAUTIFUL
Big patterns and colours look more upmarket and sophisticated in comparison to little dinky patterns. If you can, go for deeply saturated prints to make sure it doesn't fade to quickly. Quick fading will immediately outdate you.

4.STRUCTURE
When looking for a handbag, go for something that has a little more structure. Bags with a shape tend to look a little more snazzy, while slouchy (especially in faux leather) tends to come across as cheap and unsophisticated looking. To many buckles, clips and mixed textures is a big fat NO to. Just keep it simple.

5. NOT TO SHINY
Jewelry shopping can be really hard because there is SOOOO much choice all the time! One simple rule... not to shiny. Overly shiny golds and silvers can come across as tacky and cheap. Go for something slightly dull to keep you looking classy and stylish.
