Accessories

BAGS & BELTS

This season bags and belts influenced by the bohemian theme are all the rage. Carved patterned leather bags in rich burgundy and brown tones are cute and a must have to make a statement this Autumn Season.

Belts with a rustic theme, both thick and patterned make any pair of jeans look fab!

JEWELLERY

Silver, ethnic inspired jewellery from chunky earrings to bracelets are beautiful with a black dress and pair of strappy shoes.

Leather rose brooches are attractive and are a great way to dress up any outfit.

SHOES

As the hotter season cools down, the way to keep tootsies warm is to invest in a good pair of boots! Long, ankle or "runched" leather boots are great when teamed with a mini skirt. Black, beige or brown shades are the seasons must haves!

TOP CHICK

Shirts, blouses and tops continue to be a focal point with eye-catching detail including lace, embroidery, and ruffles. Taken from the "Prairie inspiration", team your blouse or skirt with long skirts, denim and boots.

SUIT UP

Tailored jackets from dirty denim to leather, look super when teamed with a pair of pants in denim or corduroy. Looks classy, AND keeps you warm!

BUSINESS INTEREST

Shirts with an 80's touch, puffed sleeves and "runching", make a boring business shirt seem interesting!

PINK CANDY

Pink, pink, pink - from head to toe. Baby pink, dusty pink and fuchsia are a bold statement this autumn. From tops to dresses, and don't forget leather too!

Team pink with denim, white, black, lilac or other shades of pink for a pretty in pink lady!

THE MINI

The mini skirt, ever so sexy and ever so fun, in leather or denim is going be the Number One necessity this autumn! For those who are modest, wear your mini with long boots and a sexy shirt to look less revealing but very appealing!
