It is neither the first - nor the last time, I'm sure - that ASOS have produced an item heavily inspired by a designer cousin (albeit, a cousin who is many times removed!); and while they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I don't know that Galliano would be all too impressed by this High Street emulation of his classic Dior 'Gaucho'.
Certainly missing the beautiful designer touches ...
Well, I never thought I'd see the day that Roberto Cavalli produced something... tame! Usually the King of Excess, and more than a little snake-obsessed (such a Slytherin); that a simple - albeit iridescent blue patent leather simple - clutch came from this designer's collection is fairly astonishing! With a nice width (12 inches) and a functional gold-tone twisted chain, it's a versatile clutch; but would you be willing to pay ...
Whenever I go on holiday, particularly by plane, my luggage - be it an oversized carry-on handbag or checked suitcase - seems to suffer rather a lot of wear and tear. Fortunately, I think I may have found the answer to my dilemma! This checked holdall is made from laminated cotton, meaning that it should be quite durable, and that liquids and stains will simply wipe off! The bright print makes it easily ...

When the weather warms up, and it comes time to pack away the knitting needles and wool until autumn, what's a seasoned knitter to do? Topshop have taken the edge off the wait, by releasing this pretty crocheted straw handbag. In a lovely teal, and offset with a crafty wooden handle, it's enough to make any knitting fan drool! You won't even have to worry about ruining your bag if it rains: it's machine ...
While sea grass isn't the best handbag material when the weather's wet, it's the perfect partner to those sunny summer days, filled with picnics in the park and endless frivolity. With a pretty print that's enough to put a spring into anyone's step, this shopper-styled tote looks the essence of summer. Pair it with days at the beach and a floaty dress, or wear it to the office to remind you of better ...
While Marc Jacobs may be giggling evilly about his influence on oversized jewel headbands this season, I can't help but think that the sight of this "inspired" offering would send him completely off his rocker. While the original wasn't particularly popular to start with (particularly with our recently departed editor), this version goes beyond Elton-John-inspired-tacky to just plain cheap and nasty! To add further insult to injury, Accessorize want £45 ...
Cameo pendants have held a special place in the hearts of vintage lovers for many years, and while the old adage 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' might have its place, when it comes to classic jewellery, I can't help but love this updated version! Featuring a hand-carved acrylic cameo silhouette with a fab afro 'do, this is a seriously funky take on the trend. Hung from a Swarovski faux pearl chain, ...
Lee Angel must be listening! After the 'is it a flower, is it a spider?' fiasco, the avant-garde designer has produced not only a gorgeous art nouveau bracelet, but this rather sweet pendant necklace. Featuring a silhouette of a tree (and who doesn't like trees?) with diamante trim in an antiqued-gold finish, this is yet another fabulous find for those who are whimsical at heart. If you fancy showing your love ...
I've never been a beige kind of girl, but if the worldwide high street is going to present us with loads of unusually lovely multi-tonal mixes in subdued colours, then who am I to resist? Another autumnal-looking offering, this belt would look fab with just about anything. One for the antipodeans among us (or to put on your wishlist for those Aussie relatives to send), it's AU$29.95 from Sportsgirl.

No end in sight to the owl trend, it seems, and I can't say I'm displeased, especially when they're this adorable! Made by independent designer FluffsStuffs, the brooch and earrings are the epitome of child-like fun. If you fancy a trip down memory lane, or just love accessories that are a little left of centre; the brooch is £12 and the earrings are £7.

Patchwork offerings seem to be improving day by day on the high street, which is fortunate, given some of the horrors we've seen lately! This gorgeous oversized tote teams a myriad of toned-down colours, which gives the bag a very autumnal vibe. If you don't mind being a little unseasonal, you can pick yours up for £50 at ASOS.

This sweet handbag looks akin to a brilliant find in a charity shop, with its dainty floral print, turn-lock closure and red lining. With its removable strap, it would also make a gorgeous clutch for spring: not too big, and not too small. With a name like 'Hummingbird', it conjures up images of garden parties, pretty dresses and summer-loving peep-toe flats. The only downside? The price: $228.95 at Zappos Couture. ...
Lee Angel and I may well have our differences, when it comes to certain spider-like "floral" pendants; but this 'floral link' bracelet redeems many a misgiving about the designer's sensibilities. A little Art Nouveau in look, it features pretty green crystals set in petal-styled gold trim. Perfect for those of you who love vintage-styled offerings, it's half price, at £110, from Net-A-Porter.
