Need a bag, bangle, necklace, pair of flip flops, wrap or statement hair clips? If I surveyed 10 of my friends I bet at least 8 of them would mention Accessorize when looking for the above.

Accessorize covers the classic to the current and caters for all from 5-65. A shop to depend on for merchandise heaven.

Here are my favourites from the Summer 2008 range..

Some may call in garish, some 'different' but if like me you are interested in finding some unique accessories to add to a base collection then Anna Lou of London fits the bill.

Featured heavily in the media of late, Anna Lou of London has gone from strength to beyond expectation since it was established in 2004 with a large range including pendants, necklaces, bangles, cuffs and earrings.

My eyes are drawn to these two necklaces from the Downtown and Mish Mish collections, neither are cheap at £31 & £75 but save cheap for that base collection I was talking about!

This is good quality, well crafted head turning, comment enhancing, trashy chic and I am a huge fan. 

 

Keeping things girlie is key to the trends for summer 2008 and what better way than to accessories accordingly with beautiful hair clips.

Floral and  crystal hair clips are the way to go with no shortage available on the high street or online. But remember to keep things classical with accessories to a minimum to achieve a sophisticated look.

Johnny loves Rosie has an exquisite range of crystal clips at very reasonable prices, below are my pics for livening up beautiful locks.

          

From the humble beginnings of hair wear Johnny Loves Rosie now offers an extensive range of women's fashion accessories including jewellery, bags, belts, hair-wear, knitwear, cosmetic sets and of course their famous flowers.

Available in selected House of Fraser stores and Urban Outfitters across the UK, the range is as beautiful as the story behind the name.

Johnny being the creators father and Rosie her mother...

.. 'Johnny, how did you know Rosie was the one for you'?

'I hesitate to offer such a trite answer but in it lies the truth: I just knew. I remember saying to myself as I drove home the night I met Rosie, that is the girl I will marry'.

My hot pick from the Spring/Summer '08' collection is the St Tropez range, I particularly love this classic white quilted leather clutch for £40

If you are keen to invest in a beautifully made, ultra stylish pair of sunglasses for 2008 then look no further than Prada.

The Spring/Summer collection as a whole is breathtaking, a perfect blend of fashion meets art.
