“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel

it’s all in the finishing touches

Many an outfit can be transformed with the right accessories. They can also help to bring something very last season right back on trend.

A prime example of this is the belt. Previously this is not an accessory I concerned myself with as I didn’t see the point in something you didn’t see however now with the rise in popularity of the cinch belt I am certainly a belt convert. Take any empire line top, tunic or dress of spring/summer 2007, add a coordinating cinch belt and it changes the whole look of that outfit. Also you can take a plain tee and make it look much funkier with this simple additional of a belt.

Another great accessory is the bag. I love how much this can change an outfit. Something quite formal can be dressed down with a big slouch bag and something quite simple can be glammed up with a sequin clutch.

And finally, give a little room in your accessory drawer for the wide array of patterned and coloured tights available. A great way to make summer outfits more suitable for our changeable weather, whilst still looking stylish.
