We've been fans of Forget-Me-Not for a while now, and the launch of a gorgeous new S/S12 collection has given us the perfect excuse to wax lyrical about this fab French accessories brand.

The brainchild of Parisian designer and illustrator Coco (who lists Vogue, Nylon, Longchamp and Karl Lagerfeld among her clients, and whose stockists include Harrods and Barneys New York) Forget Me Not majors in silk scarves embellished with illustrations Coco creates by combining painting and hand-drawing with digital techniques.

For spring, Forget Me Not takes us on a trip back to ancient Egypt courtesy of the 'Nefertiti' collection - an array of brightly hued, geometrically dazzling, supersoft scarves guaranteed to turn heads and win hearts.

Last night saw jewellery students at Central Saint Martins present Neutopia - the first jewellery catwalk show at the college's new home in King's Cross.

Produced in collaboration with fair trade accessories brand Made, and inspired by 'the Rites Of Spring, exoticism and nature', Neutopia focused on matters ethical and sustainable, translating those big concepts into sculptural pieces that blurred the line between jewellery, art and - on occasion - armour.

Though provoking and fun - just the ticket.

I have vivid memories of playing with my mother's jewellery box. Its richly coloured dark wood and mother of pearl panels opening up to a red silk lining and little compartments storing her treasures: strings of pearls, dark jade Art Deco necklaces, diamond and emerald rings and a few vintage charms.

One Mothers Day, knowing how much my mother loved jewellery, I decided to make a necklace of little white shells strung on fishing wire. We were living in the Caribbean back then, with much easier to access shells than beads!

Opening up her jewellery box recently, I found that little choker and it reminded me just how treasured a gift of jewellery can really be. Fifteen years on from that first homemade gift, I fully intend to give my mother jewellery again for Mothers Day, although I'll up the ante with pieces from the specially curated Mother's Day selection on My Flash Trash. May I suggest you do the same?

From Serretta's freshwater pearl bracelets and 8.L.A's chic earrings, to Isolda's one-of-a kind vintage trinkets, make them yours. Well, your mum's… for now!
