Women's Accessories - Spring 2007

We have already seem numerous trend forecasts for Women's accessories in Spring 2007, I suspect you are thinking it is such a long way off, but if you are a designer then you have to work and manage many seasons in advance.

So what are the trends.... especially for handbags, well we shall take you through the thoughts from the catwalks.

Future Fashion
It seems that chucky designs are back - with cube shaped handbags from Jonathan Saunders, ultra modern chic and white and silver all take centre stage.

Jewels
Well I love the fact that bags will be glistening in the sunshine, with pearls, jewels and jems all on the calendar for spring 07. Marc Jacobs will certainly be embracing this with bags coated with large fake jems.

Straps
Gorgeous straps will be the theme, shouldn't be too hard to find bags with extra straps, long straps etc, this will compliment the footwear styles where T-bars and buckles will be back with a vengence.

Utility
Perfect for day and weekend bags will be the slouchy canvas bags, rucksacks filled with pockets and duffle style bags, these bags will be much more -ready-to-wear styles.

In addition, we shall see the usual black and white bags and 1980's style incorporating vibrant colours. With so many styles and themes I am sure there will be plenty to choose from.

Every Girls Favourite - Pearls

You have to admit that every girl should have some pearls - well these are the hints I keep dropping, and with Christmas (oh and my birthday) just round the corner - I can but wait and see!

A new jewellery site definitely worth checking out is Chez Bec. Rebecca launched her jewellery boutique after quitting from the world of law in search of a happier lifesyle.

Whilst browsing through the boutique, either by colour, collection or by jewellery designer, you will notice that there is a boys gift guide. All they need to do is fill out the form, let Rebecca know how much to spend and she will do the rest. So really there is no excuse with gifts we don't want - it couldn't be easier!

Christmas Gift Ideas: Stocking Fillers

Well its that time of year again, when we have to begin thinking about Christmas pressies. The hours of late night shopping, saturday mayhem and spending far too much! So I suggest starting early and even stock piling for next year.

Have you thought about your stocking fillers - if you have girlfriends, nieces, daughters, wives or friends to buy for this year, why not buy them a make-up bag which you can fill with lots of other goodies.

The twinkly make-up bags by Emily Cheetham definitely get the thumbs up from me, or the fabric purses from Alice Caroline which can be used for all sorts of things, holding jewellery, storing loose change. All of our make-up bags can be bought for £20.00 and under.

So get organised this year and avoid the shopping rush and start buying online!

Time Capsule Gifts

Whilst searching on the web today, I came across a website called Timecapsule Gifts.

What a fantastic gift idea for new mums, anniversaries, weddings and even birthdays. The idea behind the site was born from making a baby capsule - capturing the memories of the day of the birth, so within a capsule you would find a tabloid/broadsheet newspaper, No 1 CD single and a personalised card. The standard baby gift capsule costs £49.99 and comes beautifully presented in a silver presentation box.

I think this is a great idea for those people who do not have the time to put one together themselves, and it is a keep sake for years to come.
