Ed Hardy’s Punk Print Peep Toe Wedge with Platform Heel

If you want rebellious chic wedge shoes at £75, head over to Spartoo for a pair.

The concept of wedge shoes or sandals is still the same with these Ed Hardy’s unique looking peep toe wedge. The only difference is the graphic designs on the heels, around the main body of the  shoes and prints on the inner soles.

Whilst Ed Hardy brand seems to embody rock n roll and style punk, Coralie by Ed Hardy would appeal to those looking for unique footwear even without any interest in the rebellious attitude usually associated with brand.

As the prints on the shoes  is described as ‘punk print’, and it would somehow be a firm favourite among those whose consider the average wedge shoes as being somewhat boring or just plain Jane. You don’t need to be rock or punk chic at heart to love them.

The design comes in three different colours – white, coral and black. I prefer the white version and would add a  nice splash of nail varnish is either orange or yellow to truly reflect the summer season. It is essential to  keep the choice of outfit (either short and top or knee length dress) paired with these footwear really simple so as to bring out the beauty of the shoes as suppose to causing a loud clash.

Missoni’s Multi Coloured Leather Handbag

£390 at Spartoo UK

When it comes to handbags whether for everyday use to party handbags, I usually stick to plain colours. Hardly ever would you see me looking at over the top handbags with excessive grommet detailing such as studs, spikes or crystal embossed handbag.

But right now, I am looking at making some impact to my dressing and one of the ways to do is by adding fun to your accessories such as handbag. If you are not having fun in doing something, what’s the point.

For as long as I can remember, the Missoni brand is well known for their love for bright hues and their famous zig zag pattern. At first glance, it looks like a canvas bag with sketches on it, but it’s actually a leather hobo handbags with multi-coloured pattern sketched on it.

Whilst bags could easily be classified as summer or winter, this multi coloured handbag would easily work for all the seasons. And to really show off this bag, the rest of your accessories should be plain with no pattern if at all possible. The bag can be paired with muted colours like grey, black or white and would also work with bright coloured clothes like blue, red or yellow.

If you think the zig zag pattern bag is causing to have dizzy spells, why not checkout the rest of the bag collections over at Spartoo.

Fabi’s Square Frayed Scarf in Chocolate

I will always love scarf whether in the winter or summer season, I will always make a space for them in my wardrobe. Whilst they are good for making a statement, on a practical level they can also work by keeps chills at bay especially in the early hours of the day or late in the evenings.

Apart from tying scarf around your neck, it can also be used as a belt to simply jazz  a plain outfit such as dress or jeans by clinching the waist. If you’re going down the root of using scarf as a belt, it is always best to keep the rest of the outfit relatively simple to avoid colour clash or end up with a bizarre looking outfit. The end result would be that it draws positive attention on you by catching everyone’s eye.
