It's Not All About The Clothes

Time to talk accessories. Granted garments are very glamorous themselves this autumn/ winter: bling, bows and big, bold block print, but that does not mean an outfit should not be decorated even further with fabulous fashion finishings.

Have a nosey at these nose rings- Riccardo Tisci has attracted a lot of attention with the Givenchy jewellery collection this season. Exceptional emeralds surrounded splendidly by beautiful diamonds, these elegant accessories are every magpie's dream. The most interesting pieces of the collection for me were the nose rings: elegantly alternative is not a combination that works successfully often!

Glass heel - Ok, we are not quite talking Cinderella here, but Perspex heels sauntered down several catwalks for the fall collections. Simone Rocha has tackled this trend by combining it with that of shearling, whilst Roberto Cavalli has created a luxurious velvet boot with an embellished perspex heel. But my favourite boot by far has to be Christian Dior's baby blue boot with translucent pink heel.

The bag- For each of the dominant trends currently there is at least one brilliant bag to be bought... But one of the hardest hitting handbag styles for the season is the classy classic clutch, shoulder and basic bag ... Really you're safe as long as your bag boldly brings sophistication to your style !

Belt- This autumn/ winter addresses the hourglass figure as a favourite. J.W.Anderson has produced a gorgeous geometric design to clinch the waist.
