Hello and welcome to our 2020 festive edition of Style Culture Magazine!

Just like me, I’m certain many of you are also ready to start a fresh new year leaving 2020 behind, to be remembered like that sell-out blockbuster movie that took the world by surprise…

Alas, we will not allow 2020 to dull our festive sparkle nor will we stand for any kind of rain on our summer break parade! This month I welcome you to join me in celebrating our health, the bonding between family formed during lock down and love for our local communities and businesses doing it tough in the year that has been, TOGETHER we can and have made a difference, I’m sure.

We are kicking off the month of December with a fabulous curated list of plush très chic pieces to suit the holiday mood no matter what your social calendar is or isn’t guiding you towards this year. And even though much larger gatherings and office parties have been placed on hold we can be thankful for future times planned with friends, lunching dates with family and early evening festive dinner dates with your favourite human. Our December edition is All About YOU!

So what would you say if I told you your next fab find was waiting for you right there under your nose? Online marketing and shopping platforms have made it that much easier for the consumer to by-pass our amazing local brands steering us towards must have items found across the globe however, at a time when iconic labels shut their doors and especially this year in the wake of Covid-19 it feels logical we support our home grown fashion industry, designers, brands and retailers more than ever. Sounds Perfect Right?

Come join me as I share my hand-picked season’s favourites to shop and treat yourself to something nice along the way. Think budget-friendly finds to suit every occasion. Yes, it’s time to invest in yourself by sourcing that timeless piece of jewellery you’ve had your eyes on or that show stopper dress you’ll be feeling great in while entertaining this Christmas, I’m going to sound totally cliché in saying it but “Life is short, YOU really are worth it, so just do it”!

P.S If it’s my last minute shopping guide you have come to look forward to each season, keep an eye out in your inbox it’s soon to follow. Think last-minute gifts for that hard to buy for person delivered straight to your door and inbox.

Wishing you all the Merriest Christmas more than ever before! Stay safe and thank you for the continuous love and support received through the year, be it in person, via e-mail and on social platforms – without you the Style Culture community would not be here.

Look out 2021 we are coming straight at you!

Much love always KerryK xox

Nothing screams timeless like a “Made to order” piece of jewellery. As a brand, Holly Ryan seeks to minimise impact by creating timeless designs that are inspired by art and nature.

This Hidden Treasure Chest Necklace is an ode to organic beauty, featuring 3 beautiful sapphires, embedded into a weighty gold pendant that is unique to each order, one word come to mind “LOVE “.

Designing with a sensibility that combines modern and simplistic shapes with an imagination of decades past, Natasha Schweitzer pieces are instantly recognisable for their refined beauty and exceptional quality.

Modern hand meets classic with these handmade 9k yellow gold freshwater pearls worn for simplicity on their own or styled for a statement with the Octagon Lariat.

Each fabulous piece crafted in the Nicolaides collections have been strongly influenced by her artistic upbringing as well as her Greek heritage, indulging in her love of antique, antiquities and vintage runway jewellery.

If there ever was a statement earring this would be it! Combining hand craftsmanship with pink and blue crystals the Greek gods would be envious!

Ryan Storer’s eponymous jewellery brand champions clean, crisp lines and boldly understated finishes.

Always on the hunt for that something different from the rest, this set of earrings held me hostage with their “beaded chain of tears” name. Made from 14k gold best worn just about everywhere!
