ASOS cross charms ring
January 31: ASOS cross charms ring
Embrace the ‘90s with this cross charm ring from ASOS. It’s definitely something that Buffy the Vampire Slayer would wear, which is no bad thing, and it’s also the coolest piece of charm jewellery we’ve seen for a long time. We’ve got a feeling that the charms might bug us a little bit if we’re typing all day, but hey, fashion comes first.

Your eyes do not deceive you: yes, these are classic Jeffrey Campbell platform boots, and yes, they are covered in cats. Cat tapestry, to be exact. These boots have achieved cult status over the past few years, and have just been released in a range of new styles including black leather with mega studs and white crochet lace. However, it’s these cat beauties that really caught our eye. A must for fashion bloggers, cat lovers, or just women who like their shoes to do the talking!

Houndstooth jacket by Sister Jane
Jan 25: Houndstooth jacket by Sister Jane
Houndstooth is one of those prints that seems to never go out of style. We’ve started to notice it popping up again, and this jacket by Sister Jane caught our eye. If you are looking for a way to smarten up skinny jeans, this houndstooth jacket is perfect. The leather like trims and round neck give it a ‘60s feel but it can easily be made to look contemporary. Wear with leather leggings, heeled ankle boots and your favourite lipstick.

Sleeky handbag by Rabeanco
Jan 23: Rabeanco purple ‘Sleeky’ handbag
It is the perfect time of year to find a new handbag that will see you through the rest of 2012. When buying a new bag, it’s a good idea to look for good craftsmanship, which is why Rabeanco has caught our eye. Rabeanco is an international brand that specialises in high quality Italian leather accessories, including this gorgeous Sleeky handbag. Available in different colours, this slouchy bag has two different straps to enable you to carry it different ways, plus it is deceptively spacious. The simple, minimal styling is refreshing and classic – this is the kind of everyday bag that we love!

We all love a good satchel thanks to a certain Ms. Chung, but if you can’t afford the quintessential Mulberry Alexa, we’ve found something that’ll fill that satchel-shaped hole in your wardrobe for a far more affordable price. Whistles’ new range of leather goods is a must-see this Spring/Summer – with their unique blend of classic shapes, clean cuts and high quality leather melded together to create a great collection of wallets, totes and satchels. We’re particularly fond of the tan Marianna Satchel already, with its neat golden lock and simple buckle strap – you need this in your life!

Jan 11: Religion sequin bow tie
Bow ties are not just for boys – and if you fancy trying one but don’t want to look like you have borrowed your boyfriend’s accessories, then this sequinned version from Religion could do the trick. Available in three different colourways, we really like the black-on-black bugle bead style – this oversized bow would great with a white shirt and a smart jacket. It’s a great way of adding a little something extra to a classic look.

These Dr Martens are design classics, and if you are looking for a pair of boots to take you through to Spring then these would serve you well. The white colour makes them less clompy than regular DMs – you get all the toughness of a hardwearing boot with a more feminine look. Sienna Miller, Jaime Winstone and Agyness Deyn have all been seen wearing this style. Rubbersole currently have the white Doc Martens boots on sale with 30% off.

Beau and Arrow is the brainchild of Keli Jones, an independent British jewellery designer who creates these incredible pieces in her Kent workshop. Having studied at Camberwell College of Arts and subsequently produced jewellery for some top high street stores, Keli launched Beau and Arrow in 2010. All the pieces are handmade using forgotten vintage treasures, collected objects, curiosities and semi-precious stones, including this beautiful arrow and spike necklace. It’s the kind of necklace to treasure and wear for a very long time. Keli also creates bespoke jewellery on request.

January 5: Warehouse paisley print pencil skirt
Paisley prints were a key English heritage trend on the Autumn/Winter 2011 catwalks, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing them incorporated into 1940s style pencil skirts on the high street. This long length one from Warehouse features an elasticised waist ensuring a svelte silhouette. The jewel colours are perfect for this time of year – especially if you accentuate them by wearing them on bottom and top.

January 3: Topshop Boutique pale blue bomber coat
2012 is going to be the year of the bomber jacket. This shape has been rising through the ranks for a while and now it’s time for the humble bomber to take centre stage. If the crazy patterned styles seen at Versace for H&M were a little too loud for you, we really like this elegant take by Topshop Boutique. This icy pale blue cropped coat has bomber styling with an exposed zip, a loose shell fit and front pockets. However it’s a very chic, grown-up way to wear this trend.
