Around this time every year comes a seemingly unsolvable wave of fashion frustration. Stuck in a summer style rut, the once covetable collections for spring summer ‘09 are no more than a distant memory, one that floated past long ago like the clouds in the sky. And its the summer heat that ignites that insatiable desire for new, fresh designs. For no sooner have we slipped on our bikinis, are we clambering to get into the latest and greatest from the collections of A/W ‘09. With Vogue’s August issue citing the hottest trend as 80’s revival glam, the spectrum ranges from shoulder padded power dressing through in purple and teal hues to the classic camel coat.

Jewellery remains to be a unique statement, from bold attention grabbing necklaces to unusual headpieces ( as seen most notably at Louis Vuitton) and sculpture inspired braclets. Stay ahead of the game with Stephanie Thonet’s beautiful crab shell necklace and Cheung Lik’s wonderous bracelets. Blending perfectly with the last of the summer sun and carrying you on to stand out in the autumn fashion stakes, Patricia Nicolas’s Turquoise Braclet is an irresistible investment!
