Every woman needs them, and every woman loves them. Our obsession with shoes and bags is evermore indulged by a continuing strong focus on luxury accessories. The most iconic brands spoil us every season with the "It" bag or the "must have" statement shoes. My favourite thing about treating yourself to a beautifully crafted handbag or a pair of painstakingly made stilettos, is that they are real investment pieces, often standing the test of time to be pulled out of your wardrobe season after season. 

Now that some of the Pre Fall Accessories lines are making their way into our reach, I thought I could tempt and tease you with some of my personal favourites. Roll on Summer!

Colour blocking is a massive trend next season and these bags from Moschino and Roberto Cavalli could not get any closer to it! Bright, colourful and eye-catching, these will make lively additions to any wardrobe.

Everyone is talking about the Roberto Cavalli Diva Bag! Tipped to be the bag of next season, it's classic form coupled with a variety of brightly coloured, and in this case, elegant darker tones, ensure that it's versatility will be praised season to season. Python skin was all over the Spring/Summer runways, most notably in Christopher Bailey's collection for Burberry so you can bank on python skin bags and these stunning court stilettos to be a recurring trend.

Keeping with Cavalli, it seems the different lines of the fashion power house are paying attention to their accessory lines. The leather and suede fringing on these clutch bags and shoes is a strong reference to this season's 70's trend, showing that boho chic isn't going anywhere! 

Ever continuing to fuse retro influences into his lines, Marc Jacobs decided he was going in the direction of 1920's Art Deco for his Pre Fall collection at Louis Vuitton.

Featuring lots of pleating, sequin embellishment and a playful variety of different textures, Jacobs has created another trend to watch for the upcoming Winter season. Completing looks with T bar sandals, fur headbands and Lucite bracelets, we are certainly heading back to the times of all that jazz.

Vintage style prints mark elements of sophistication and oldy worldy glamour for next season's Louis Vuitton collection. We think we will definitely be seeing a lot more of this trend filtering through to other brands as the season unfolds. Are you as excited as us?

During the past season we've witnessed the return luxury furs. Looks ranging from Siberian princess to ultra glam Hollywood starlet, the style has been such a success, it's no surprise that this is how we've been managing to stay warm this Winter.

The trick, however, is to keep things contemporary and learn how to combine this season's most luxe trend with your other Winter essentials. Layering is key to maintaining a modern style whilst also nodding to the neo noir style of the 1974 Faye Dunaway film, "Chinatown".

Ponchos are a great way into this trend without necessarily going full on. Pair with your favourite cigarette trousers and leather boots for an urbanite touch. Alternatively, short coats are ideal as well as versatile. Whichever style you decide to go for, you can guarantee, you will turn heads this Winter.

Pierre Sarkozy, none other than the son of French President and model/actress Carla Bruni, is the latest celebrity to become involved in the world of edgy German designer, Philipp Plein. Following the trailblaze set by style icon and Hollywood golden girl, Mischa Barton, Pierre was photographed on location by esteemed fashion photographer Olimpia Soheve.

Pictured on board a yacht, the overall look of the shoot is markedly preppy for Plein and possibly marks another shift in gear towards the contemporary trend that we first saw on the Milan runways for D&G menswear SS11. What is also exciting, is the sharp tailoring that can be seen in the lightweight blazers and trousers. Tailoring was never seemingly at the forefront of Plein's design ethic but has evolved naturally with the young designer's growth.

An interesting fusion of classic Americana and nouveau yacht prep, this is the most pared down and yet, sophisticated collection from the house of Plein.

The weekend has arrived and with its endless possibilities for fun, frolicks and the perfect opportunity to relieve yourself of all the week's stress. Attending a Christmas party? Need something to wear? Try this special pairing of a gold overlay  tailored jacket and the matching gold overlay tiered dress by D&G.

Fun and flirty, it's ideal for this year's party season and the gold and pewter metallic tones are in the spirit of festivity. Guaranteed to turn heads, this stylish outfit will be sure to give you that extra sparkle you need this weekend. Until Monday!

There is nothing more comforting on a cold Monday than a beautiful warm scarf. Today we are wearing M Missoni silk and cashmere print scarves.

In a variety of colours, enough to brighten up any dark day, the Missoni scarf collection is instantly recognisable by their iconic prints: Zig zags, checked, stripe prints and some plain in soft colours with just the emblematic "M" embroidered.

This season we love the scarves in petrol and pink, like these in our Accessories Gallery. Perfect for Christmas presents or as a present to yourself. And, if the early start to Winter has been as strenuous to you, as it has us, you probably deserve it!
 

Tis' the season to wrap up warm whether you're braving freezing temperatures to get yourself out to all those Christmas parties, running around trying to get the shopping done or jetting to a ski destination.

This season's balance between pared down chic and overwhelming opulence has us in two minds but this Fox fur gilet style coat from Roberto Cavalli's Class line pushes us towards the latter. The silver fox fur is in three layers and features a cream anorak style fabric cut between the tiers of beautiful fur.

Accessorise with a belt, like this stunning cobra belt from Korokum, sexy heels for an uber glam look or your best Winter boots for something that's a little more urban. A statement piece that's perfect for the snow queens amongst us.
