It's the little things in life that make the difference. A barman saying hello when you order a coffee, a sunny day or a nice lunch. The same applies with fashion - you may have a winning dress - but if the little things don't work, the best -dressed list will continue without you.
That’s why for SS09 we recommending as our season's must-haves - the little things, accessories that will transform your look into something big.
Seen on the SS09 Dolce & Gabbana catwalk - were oversized square sunglasses finished with unique colours and prints that add an eccentric, bold and playful edge to any summer outfit. Then there were the bags…
Shining, glittering, embellished shoulder bags with gold link chains that if used carefully at an airport check-in desk will ensure you fly to your summer destination courtesy of a free upgrade in first class.
Finally – cosy yet luxurious shrugs to throw on nonchalantly when the summer nights turn collar and you’ve yet to find your summer loving.
