Vintage Disco Bag
Price: £75
Stockist: Brittique www.brittique.com
If you haven’t already noticed, the clutch bag is still the bag for fashionable hands to be holding right now. But, unlike their winter collection cousins, spring’s clutch bags are even bigger (see Fendi’s huge patchwork affairs) and even brighter (like Valentino and Cavalli’s citrus-coloured versions). We love this vintage clutch from online boutique, Brittique, for disco queen style.

Cutler & Gross Sunnies
Price: £209
Stockist: Start www.start-london.com
A word of advice ladies, whatever Jennifer Lopez might tell you, diamante sunglasses are not (repeat after us) “not classy.” Steer away from Bulgari and look to hip sunnies manufacturer Cutler & Gross. These blue specs aren’t for shrinking violets reckon C&G, but then again, who wants to be one of those?

Straw Floppy Hat
Price: £20
Stockist: Topshop www.topshop.com
No spring wardrobe would be complete without some decent headgear, so we’ll be taking a leaf out of Sienna’s book and investing in a floppy, 70s style hat to shield our eyes from the blazing sun (well, we can dream about the sun part!)

Chloe Turquoise Bag
Price: £584
Stockist: Matches www.matchesfashion.com
So, want to know one of our fave trends for the new season? It’s got to be the superbrights hitting the catwalks and high street in equal numbers. When it comes to accessories for the next few months, think turquoise, orange, yellow and reds. You could do worse than this beautifully soft (and beautifully bright) shoulder sac from Chloe, don’t you think?

Africa Print Silk Scarf
Price: £9
Stockist: Accessorize www.accessorize.co.uk
While the thought of working summer’s irrepressible head-to-toe tribal prints into our wardrobes give us niggling feelings of dread, this African print scarf from the Aladdin’s cave that is Accessorize is an easy way of keeping up to date without looking like you’ve just stepped out of a sub-Saharan country.
