Weekend Fashion Fix: 5 Great Accessories

Feel like freshening?up your weekend wardrobe with a quick style?fix? Here are five simple but gorgeous?accessories to get your fashionable pulses racing.

I always liked the idea of having one signature necklace, a piece I wear when statement jewellery feels a little too like hard work, and a piece that people recognise me for. This pretty pendant is beautifully subtle but has lovely detailing too.

Necklace with small pendant, €75 at maje.com

Small, cross-body bags are so great to wear. They leave you hands-free,?but?won’t?leave you looking like a hunchback because they’re nicely lightweight. This camel and tan coloured buckle bag has a hit of collegiate style, but not too much. It’s got a lovely sophisticated hit off it.

Colour-blocked small leather bag, €135 at stories.com

We’ll all be wearing sequins for day come autumn.?And this hairband is?a subtle way to embrace sparkle. I love the combination of sequins and florals here.

Sequinned hairband, €15.95 at Zara

This is a really special piece that will say a lot about your attention to detail. It will lift a simple black blazer, add flair to florals and add a punch to soft neutrals.

Gold-plated enamel and crystal brooch, Marni, €170 at net-a-porter.com

We’ll all be belting our coats for AW16. This may seem pricey for a belt, but it will literally last you the rest of your days, and look better as it ages. The textured leather is also beautifully on trend.

Tortoiseshell and leather belt, Saint Laurent, €395 at matchesfashion.com
