Lily is Grazia's Shopping Editor at Grazia UK. Each week she gives the readers the top trends to be trialling, how to wear them and which celebrities are making waves in the fashion world. After a 6 month stint at Grazia HQ over three years ago, after studying languages at Bristol University, Lily’s career in fashion began. Being promoted to Website Fashion Assistant for the launch of Graziadaily.co.uk she caught the eye of Grazia’s Fashion Director and was swiftly moved over onto the magazine. And following two and a half years as Fashion Assistant she became Grazia’s Shopping Editor. . Lily credits her mother for her love of fashion and above all the need for jewellery and accessories to complete an outfit. With a mother who was previously a sales assistant at uber London boutique Browns and model for Vogue, from a young age Lily already appreciated the beauty of Missoni crochet dress, a Bottega Venteta woven handbag and Miu Miu heels! Her favourite labels include Zara, Isabel Marant and Alcozer & J jewellery and is a self-confessed swimwear addict - Lily admits to owning over thirty bikinis! Her finest fashion moment has to be meeting Vogue Nippon Creative Director Anna Dello Russo – a career she one day hopes to match.

We will, will you? Trophy earrings!

Lily Russo Grazia UK

You may be preoccupied with winter warmers and Christmas gifts at the moment but I have to say I’m already a little distracted by next season’s amazing trends.

As I search for the hottest and most amazing clothes and accessories for my summer shoots, I couldn’t help notice how massive earrings are going to be. And by massive I also mean big in size!  Now apart from possibly over enlarging your ear lobes due to the sheer weight of many styles that were seen on the catwalks and getting them caught in your hair – the plus side to wearing trophy earrings far outweigh (excuse the pun) the down sides. Transforming a simple outfit and lifting the face, they also require less makeup too. Check out my top five styles to keep your eyes peeled for as we head into next year…

1.       Large hoop earrings

2.       Oriental tassle earrings

3.       Fruit and vegetable novelty earrings

4.       New vintage earrings – mixing classic styles in clashing neons

5.       Seventies/bohemian beaded chandelier earrings
