Celebrity Clothes

I've just discovered through a shopping website that we are listed on (lynku.com), a great clothing website called Goddiva that follows along the lines of ASOS by focusing on celebrity fashion. It's a nice alternative with some different celebrity styles...and being typically British, thought I'd promote the smaller underdog!

Spring 08 Trend Alert Part 1

We all want to know what is going to be a good investment piece in the sales so we are on trend for next year. Well the first part of my trend report is all about PRINTS. Floral, spots and retro are all key looks going in to summer so get yours now. My favourite is this retro rainbow bag for £15 (as featured in the Bag Lady blog) - it hits the print retro trend and colour trend that is so big! Happy shopping! x

The Animal In You!

Animal print is a bit like Ugg boots and is refusing to go away! It is still a key trend for A/W 07 and looks fantastic (in moderation of course!). My favourite of the season is this sexy clutch for £20

A Great Fashion Book

I've just finished 'Fashion Babylon' by Imogen Edwards Jones. It's great for all those fashion lovers as it tells the inside story on the fashion world and how a designer puts together a show. The best bit of all - it includes all the best bitchy parts! Could be a good stocking filler for the aspiring designer.

New Stock Just Arrived!

Check out some gorgeous new stock that's just been listed including some fab earrings, bracelets and evening bags that are perfect for the festive season! Happy shopping at www.meandmyaccessories.com x

Accessory Trends A/W 2007

Statement
Be bold and team all your fashion jewellery like large pendant necklaces and bright bracelets with a softer look.

Big & Oversized
Oversize your bag during the day and match with a slim silhouette & cinched-in waist. Don’t forget to oversize the ring too! Visit http://www.meandmyaccessories.com/index.php?cPath=1_8 for some great cocktail rings this winter.

Quilting
Enjoy the comforting feel of a quilted accessory worn with a streamlined outfit and bright opaque tights in blue or purple. Check out this great bright bag http://www.meandmyaccessories.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_3&products_id=44

Studs & Buckles
Showcase studs & buckles highlighted in silver, gold or bronze and you'll be bang on trend. Why not match a studded bag with a biker jacket and scarf.

Jewelled
Think luxury with rich darks and bright colours and remember (as always!) bigger is better.

Tight waist
Wear belts tight round the waist and feature jewels to compliment a plain outfit. Be totally on-trend by wearing a waist belt outside your coat. There's a fab waist belt that also hits the animal print trend too.

Make Up and Be Happy!

I love these gorgeous make up bags that are made from a soft felt material and are really fun. They are great for carrying your make up on the move! Available in blue and purple, they'd would make a great Christmas pressie! http://www.meandmyaccessories.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_6&products_id=147

Fashion Facebook

I've recently discovered a new fashion website that has been described as the facebook of the fashion world. O So You lets you browse celebrity styles, add lists of your favourite things and create groups (mine is Adore Accessories). You can also make friends and share your style file which is a list of all the things you like at the moment. I also have a couple of lists 'Accessories Under £6' and 'Small (but perfectly formed) Christmas Gifts' that are great inspiration for stocking filler ideas. The website is a great way to stay up to date in an interactive way... www.osoyou.com

'Tis The Season To Be Warm

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit of an old woman when it comes to being cold in the winter which is why I love these cute hot water bottles. There's 3 different designs and they are sooo cute. At £12, they also make great stocking fillers or presents for friends. Available at www.meandmyaccessories.com/index.php?cPath=13

The Clothes Show

Yippee, the Clothes Show Live is nearly here again. I love this day out and am looking forward to it even more as Gok Wan (who I think is fab) will be there. I've been a fan of the show since I was younger and worked once backstage dressing male models for the catwalk show (pure bliss!!). If you want to go this year here is the link for the site...

Unusual & Unique Accessories

I love the range of shoppers and clutches available which are hand made from satin/wool by an independent designer in London. They are something a little different for someone special this Christmas. I love how they are trend-led and also unique and timeless! My favourite is the Sapphire Seduction Clutch £38...available at http://www.meandmyaccessories.com/
