Mulberry have produced an exciting new collection for Giles, it is completely different to the classic and simple style you would expect from Mulberry, this time it looks as if they’ve taken inspiration from Roman Gladiators.

Although I love Mulberry’s signature style, it is nice to see something new and unique from them, here I have given you a few little tasters from this collection so you can get a real feel of the range.

I think the key ring above is fab! In the style of a mace it looks slightly scary but cute at the same time! It comes in two colour ways; black and white and costs £195.

Scare away those pick pockets with this sinister looking shopping bag! Yikes, I wouldn’t want to mess with anyone carrying this bag! It is patent leather and costs £895.

Finish off your outfit with this Gladiatorial style bracelet, it comes in red and black and costs £99.

Thinking of going skiing this winter? Well Chanel have made it easier than ever to look cool and slick on the slopes with their fall/winter 07 sports collection that features a range of ski wear from bold patterned ski suits to cute penguin jumpers. I don’t even ski but after seeing this collection I’m already planning my winter ski trip!

The collection is great; it is mostly black and white with a hint of red just to spice things up. This colour way is really striking and if the clothes don’t make you stand out how about your very own Chanel skis! Yes Chanel have even produced their own skis for this collection; they’re extremely cool, with the Chanel symbol emblazoned on the base of them; you will be envied by the entire slope, just try not to fall over!

There are lots of other great accessories to jazz up your ski outfit such as furry ear muffs and handbags, bright white Chanel ski masks and chain belts all to make you look great on the slopes!

Wow! What a handbag! Being a bag girl myself, I know this Faux Snakeskin Bag is gorgeous. There’s just something about this gold number that I can’t quite put my finger on, but it makes me want it so much!

Its metallic effect really grabbed my attention and metallics are so easy to co-ordinate into your outfit. It has a printed lining and the knot detail just finishes it off. It has been given a ‘lust label’ by Look magazine, which is all I can do – lust over it.

Rolling in at a whopping £267 it’s way out of my price range, oh well a girl is allowed to dream. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for a look-a-like more within my price range.

What a wicked top!! Absolutely loving this silver foil draped tunic. Got to have it! I’ve got my birthday coming up so I think I’m going to have to purchase this. It’s got amazing jewel detail across the bust line and the thicker shoulder straps give a flattering neck line. This is one of those items you buy and can wear over and over again because you can dress it up or down as much or as little as you like.

I think I’ll try going on the braver side and wear it just as it is. It comes in at £18.00 -not the usual price I’d pay for a top to wear out (I’d usually hunt for a bargain!) but I just love this. Available on a website called Boohoo.com, one I’ve just learnt about – it’s got loads to offer.

You can finally say goodbye to your super skinny jeans and leggings! This winter it’s all about the wide-legged trouser with braces. I absolutely love this style of trouser; they are sophisticated and classy and provide us with a refreshing break from the super skinny trend that only ever complimented that super slender figure that, lets face it, only a lucky few have if they’re older than 12!

The wide-legged trouser is flattering for most figures, they hide all those lumps and bumps however watch out if you’re on the short side as they could make you look shorter! Shirt blouses and tailored jackets are a great look with these trousers for that slightly masculine/androgynous look.

I have found this great pair of high waisted, wide legged trousers with braces from Warehouse for £50!

With the texture trend well on the way for next season, Manolo Blahnik has jumped on the bandwagon and produced these fabulous hairy shoes, aren’t they great?!

Not for the faint hearted these shoes that Blahnik first designed for A/W 07/08 are what he calls the “Brutal” shoes, he wanted to take this seasons design to a new level by using “thicker and wilder” materials. In result he has produced a series of boots and shoes that mix untreated hairy materials and leather for a Stone Age yet futuristic look. Blahnik has also introduced a new heel design for this collection; the water drop! You can see this clearly on the illustration above; the heel goes in and out again at the bottom just like a water drop! Cute hey!

These shoes are perfect for those with a shoe fetish and I admire anyone brave enough to step out in this unique and attention grabbing shoe design! However I advise wearing an ultra low key outfit with them to avoid going O.T.T!

I’m loving Kate Moss’s range at Topshop at the moment. This sequin shouldered tee is an absolute must. You always see tops and jeans in particular that have been ripped and torn, and personally most of the time I think it looks quite tacky but this tee has been done with style. The Shredded shoulders show off a bit of flesh with the sequin detail giving a bit of glam.

It can be worn as a tight fitted top to show off your curves, with a denim mini skirt and black slouch boots, as modelled by Carmen in this weeks edition of Look – looks fab. I would even try this worn over a pair of leggings for a more casual look. Available at just £25.

I’ve just been searching through the Wallis-Fashion website and came across this dress, which really caught my eye. I would wear this to a fancy dinner party or even a day at the races. I know ladies day at Ascot has been and gone but you can never be prepared too early. It is described as a black/ivory flower prom dress, available on the Wallis website and costs £50.

With its bold detail and flattering flower belt, it would suit just about anyone. You could wear this with a pair of black strappy sandals, for a more elegant look and a sparkly set of earrings and matching bracelet, just to finish it off. On the website there is an accessories option available so your bound to find something to match. If you’re a costume jewellery girl like me then maybe Claire’s Accessories would be a better option.

Going on your holidays? Looking for a bikini that will stand out from the rest? With its subtle gold shimmer and a nice bronze tan you’re going to look lush. I’m always trying to find a bikini that will not only look nice but one that I can wear with a sarong and flip flops or even under a summer dress, and today I’ve found it. The top and bottoms are sold separately so you can even mix and match if you prefer.

Available from Dorothy Perkins from sizes 6 to 22 and at £8 for the top and £8 for the bottoms it really is a good buy. I always find that whenever I’m out doing a bit of retail therapy I never really know what I’m looking to buy but today I will, this little number is a must have for my holiday essentials, along with my gold flip flops I really will be shimmering in the sunshine.

I have just spent the afternoon on my new favourite fashion website Oli, adding to my Look Book and drooling over the endless array of accessories. I want pretty much everything on the website but have forced myself to narrow down my choices to just one item and this is it, the Fiorelli Linen Buckle Bag – When I saw it I though to myself… I want it, I need it and I’m not going to sleep until I get it! It’s £49 but I don’t care, I have fallen madly in love.

When I first saw the bag I imagined myself walking along the beach in a black bikini, white see though kaftan, oversize shades and this bag on my shoulder with my ‘Look Magazine’ popping out the top! My hair was blowing in the wind and the sand was warm but then I opened my eyes and realised I was in fact in the office and should probably get on with some work. If you want the bag too, head over to Oli but I warn you now you’ll be on there all afternoon!
