bombarded with images of long legged


The cute handbags have become a Authentic Prada Bagsfast favourite with Tali Lennox, Emma Watson and Lily Collins: choose from the festival-ready Lily with extra added rivets, available in sheeny oxblood red, black or tan suede, or go large with the Alexa for a classic with a twist.Didn’t make it to Coachella this year? Neither did we. But while we sat at home, bombarded with images of long legged girls in denim cut-offs, the thing that caught our eye was the very cool tasselled Mulberry bags being sported by the brightest and most beautiful celebrities at the Mulberry Coachella pool party.

Based in New York, the girls make their tribal-influenced jewellery from Egyptian cotton, nylon thread and Swarovski crystals. Chunky magnetic clasps, eye-watering neon accents and plenty of texture give the bracelets and necklaces a robust appeal so those wishing to channel this season’s sporty surfer girl will be well appeased.

We love Oxygen Boutique. Like a breath of fresh air it brings us brands that are hot off the production line in New York and Australia and often new to our shores. And the newest addition to their roster is Holst + Lee, a jewellery brand run by Natalie Holst and Rochelle Lee, two Southern belles who share a love of exuberant colour.A cheeky flash of ankle from a cropped length will add a sexy edge and jewel tones will give your outfit extra punch. For a neat silhouette tuck in your tee and elongate the leg with a Prada Nylon Cosmetic Bagschic heel and don't forget to polish with some silverwear.

But the collection – influenced by Frida Kahlo and with elements of Maasai tribal adornments seen throughout – is just as well suited to a grown up kind of aesthetic. Stack them up with a crisp white shirt or a bias-cut silk shift for a flash of rainbow in your day to day wardrobe.While I’m more than happy to wear a printed piece, the thought of doubling up does induce a light sweat. It's out of my comfort zone and quite attention grabbing.

The key to making this work for the print-shy is to go for bold patterns in muted hues and stick to a less-is-more accessory mantra. Not only are you tapping into the trend, you're giving the classic shirt and shorts combination fresh appeal.Patterns have met head-on in a kaleidoscope of spots, stripes and florals for spring summer: sensible separates have been pushed to one side and thanks to the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Peter Pilotto Prada Shoulder Bag Leatherand Preen, copy-cat prints are high on the fashion agenda.
