    YSL JEWELLERY

    Georgie loves this… because this lavish pile of Yves Saint Laurent jewellery is positively mouth watering. Wear them all together for a decadent and ultimately glamorous look or be selective and opt for a single piece to jazz up a day-time outfit. Inspired by tree bark, the large Arty Bracelet bears the bountiful fruit of dark purple and lilac crystal stones. Beauty often lies in simplicity, as it does in the aptly named Nugget Ring that fittingly resembles a large, raw piece of gold. To coincide with this awe-inspiring aesthetic the Blue Stones ring resembles an Aladdin's cave filled with exotic gems in turquoise and magenta tones.

    Also giving us food for thought is this intricately crafted gold plated Filigree Isharya bracelet; Holly Fulton's exciting collaboration with Swarovski; and for more colour sparkles, the Dannijo Omala Antique necklace with Swarovski crystals is the icing on the cake. Scrumptiously piled high, Hummingbird cupcakes always taste best in excess and what better way to enjoy them than being dressed to the max.

    Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent founded his eponymous label in 1962 with his partner Pierre Berge after starting his career at The House of Dior. Disillusioned by the couture based industry in Paris he sought to create a company that also specialized in ready to wear garments. Determined to set his brand apart from the rest he took pleasure in subverting genres and was arguably one of the first designers to incorporate vintage tailoring into his designs. Now one of the largest fashion houses in the world and headed by Stefano Pilati, the brand has continued to produce critically acclaimed collections after his retirement in 2002 and death in early 2008.

    TODS LEATHER DETAIL SUNGLASSES

    Georgie loves this… because reflection on style in the 70's seems to have been the overriding theme around London Fashion Week, so what better way to immediately infuse your wardrobe with future trends than with a choice accessory.  These Tods sunglasses boast large frames in a mottled brown plastic, slim rims and luxurious leather earpieces and in both colour and shape are clearly a contemporary take on a vintage 70's aesthetic.  To maximise the look, why not try some simple wide leg jeans and a cosy fitted sweater for a Farrah Fawcett inspired outfit.

    Following in the footsteps of his cordwainer father, Diego Della Valle started producing luxury leather footwear for department stores in the 1970's, maintaing a high standard in handmade craftsmanship through the range, most famous of which was the classic Driving shoe.  Tods has since moved into leather goods and accessories, combining tradition, quality and modernity to create practical yet beautiful goods for a worldwide audience.

    SERVANE GAXOTTE CAT NECKLACE

    Caroline loves this… because its good to by girly once in a while. This fun cat necklace is ideal, evoking fond memories of childhood where kitch charms were the day to day norm, whilst being delicate enough to integrate into day to day wears and cast in gold metal, is acceptable for grown ups. The cartoonish cat figure, with hinged long limbed that allow the pendant to make small but animated movements as you walk, comes with its very own sheer skirt - very much on trend, we might add, for an inanimate object. Detachable from the chain, it can also be integrated into other accessories.

    It is clear from her playful, chic designs that jeweller Servane Gaxotte is a young Parisian. Launching the label in 2006 his accessories express poetry and emotion and rock'n'roll dream references, marrying gold and silver metal charms with light chiffon miniature clothing, in designs reminiscent of her strong taste for an everlasting childhood.
