If ruffles aren’t your thing on clothing, try them on an accessory. This tote is romantic and roomy. It clutches fine, hangs quite well on the shoulder, and can also be worn as a cross body bag. I like the red best, but the cappuccino shade is pretty too. Sweet!

I want this necklace. Badly. The fact that I’m willing to wear it instead of my pearls says a lot. It’s weighty but lightweight at the same time. Nice quality and cool against the skin. I personally love the turquoise but the lime, yellow and coral are fab too. Wear this over a white knitted top, shirt or blouse with jeans and a pair of dressy flats and you’re in business. Clean, simple, timeless and chic.

I have a necklace exactly like this that I bought in Hong Kong several years ago and I love it. It’s fun, lightweight and works well layered over casual knit tops, sheath dresses or turtle necks. You can also take off the floral pin and use it as a brooch on a coat, jacket, scarf, belt or dress. Very fab.

This is such a sweet little cross body bag. Casual, a little boho and impeccably made. And the more it’s worn, the better it will look. It’s just big enough to fit the essentials without breaking your neck and back. Over fill a crossbody bag and you’re off to see the chiropractor. It’s available in six delicious colours. Eggplant and bronze get my vote.

This little bag is casual, urban, retro and chic all at the same time. It adds great textural interest when worn over a black top. Great for traveling and super for gals on the go. It will also force you to keep the contents of your handbag light.

These baubles will instantly take your outfit from drab to dazzling. Add this to a cocktail dress, or wear it with a simple T-shirt and blazer combination. What I like about this piece is the unexpected casual integrity of the chain. Very fab.

A wallet that doubles up as a clutch handbag is becoming a popular trend. Choose one like this and make a cool arty statement with just about any outfit. And if clutching a wallet like a handbag is not your thing, this is still a great wallet to carry in your bag. It’s fun, practical, robust and oozes personality – the prerequisites of the perfect wallet.

These aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I find them sleek and fabulously retro. Wear stirrup tights in the same way you would normally wear leggings and have fun with the look. You might prefer the long continuous line the stirrup detailing creates rather than the way leggings cut the leg line at the calf or ankle.

There is something regal and arty about peacock printed items. This scarf comes in two divine colourways and either one will add an expected dimension to your outfit. Scarves in this weight are airy, neat and warm. My favourite weight and size. They won’t keep you toasty when temperatures drop below freezing, but they’re ideal for chilly days sans the snow.

Nordstrom brings these out every year and they’re my favourite solid cashmere scarf because they are light, warm, soft, non-itchy and last forever. I like how you can wrap this item around your neck a few times without feeling like something is cutting off your circulation. I also fancy the subtle eye-lash fringed edges. Great for indoor and outdoor dressing.
