Accessories: Autumn/Winter

Developing a sudden love for big, colourful rings, I decide to write on what I love most. I haven't gone visiting all the stores yet, haven't made my wish list for this season's biggies. Such devotion to accessories owes some experimenting with the favourites. Here's a few on my 'immediate buys' tab of all things worthy:


- Secret Love Double Wrap Bracelet: 

You gotta give it to Mulberry when it comes to their collection of bracelets and pins. Mistaking it for a belt the first time I saw it, at the second glance I fell in love. Such a pretty classic of nude leather-  Deer Brown Ostrich as its called, with  a charm.

- Wrapped around you belt: 

How many of us have fallen in love with a classic chest belt, lately? I couldn't decide if zips were hotter on one such belt, or if it were the buckles- so I picked one with both, and a colour that goes well with all. When in doubt, wear black? What's better? Right now, it's on a 50%off sale!

- Amoures Clutch: 

French Connection, by far, has the best handbag collection of the season. This one clutch in particular, appealed to me most, especially after Grazia's issue on black and white. I love the fact that its one clutch that won't look underdressed next to a party gown or a lovely sequined black dress. The contrast of the silver over the black makes it all the more gorgeous. As the name suggests, this bag has my heart.

- All Occasion Ring: 

Rings are my latest object of affection, and I must have scanned every single designer for anything remotely my style. This particular one was a favourite pick. It's different, with a very vintage tinge to it. While we concentrate more on owls and animal jewelry, essential oval shaped rings with florals seem to be lost somewhere. I love this one for its victorian, vintage tinge.

- Varnished Red Leather Belt: 

Moschino has a knack for reds and pinks: they're colours that go with the brand. The red leather belt is a perfectly playful, flirty belt for dresses in soft colours. The heart in the centre is just right for the belt's style and thin strap.

Mulberry: exploring the brand

For one who loves online shopping, flipping through websites before I step out shopping, the design of these websites is very important to me. For some odd reason, I land up cutting slack to a lot of designers and crap outfits for their impressive websites. 

So when I first visited the Mulberry store, I was obviously not very pleased. A very basic website, and a number of dull-looking handbags, all displayed on a dull white background. 

As I turned into the Autumn-Winter '11 section though, I began to develop a liking for the brand. Here's a few favorites: 

- Grey flower dress: 

I love it for accentuating the waist, while adding a bit of fun to the outfit around to an otherwise common dress. Plus points for being warm.

- Carter Character Shoe: 

Always a sucker for shoes, classic is the way to go when it comes to heels. I've always believed that fashion changes but style remains the same. And for one who prefers sticking to the classics when it comes to heels, I developed an automatic liking for this pair. Nude is a colour that stands among all changes in trends and styles season after season. And I love the charm on the buckle.

- Tippi Bow Blouse: 

This is one of those typical tops that a lot many designers add a golden button or a bit of lace to, and sell it for a million bucks. But in its simple form, its a top that goes great with trousers, a high-waisted skirt as well as a skirt or a pair of skinny jeans with heels.

- Bayswater: 

As Grazia puts it, "There is nothing in a woman's style arsenal that spells quite so clearly that she gets fashion than carrying a great bag." since white goes with most things, and is a very sought-after colour since the past few seasons, I pick a standard, classic shape and colour.
