Summer Accessories

It’s all in the details, dear friends. Check out our top tips for spring accessorising…

1

Wooden Cube Bangle
Price: £10
Stockist: Freedom @ Topshop
www.topshop.com

Forming part of Freedom’s ‘Boho Tech’ collection for Topshop, this cubic wooden bangle is the ultimate in chunky, fashion-forward wrist wear for spring.

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.

Marni Bracelet
Price: £175
Stockist: Browns
www.brownsfashion.com

Showing us just why they’ve earned a place as part of design royalty, Marni have come up with a consistently gorgeous line of accessories for the new season. From chic patent bags to this oversized green and burgundy bracelet, they’ve literally delivered every girl’s dream wardrobe.

4

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?

5

Roman Style Sandals
Price: £30
Stockist: Warehouse
www.warehouse.co.uk

Ever since the legendary Miss Moss stepped out in Roman-inspired sandals a few years back, they seem to have become the obligatory summer uniform for stylish feet.

6

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!)

7

Chloe Shoe Boots
Price: £316
Stockist: Net-A-Porter
www.net-a-porter.com

Bear with us when we say, peep-toed shoe boots are where it’s at for spring. OK, we know the concept might sound bizarre but we’re hoping one look at these Chloe heels might persuade you.

Lego Brick Earrings
Price: £3.50
Stockist: Hannah Zakari
www.hannahzakari.co.uk

Much as we’d all love to be wearing Marc Jacobs’ whimsical Lego block belts here in the Style offices, funds don’t necessarily allow it. In homage to the great man, we’ve picked out these kitsch Lego block earrings for a cheap treat.

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.
