STATEMENT ACCESSORIES

Fashion blogger Emily Johnston, founder of Fashion Foie Gras, reveals the bags,
shoes and earrings she’s coveting this season

COLOUR POP

“I’m known for my obsession with bright, beautiful colours. Sometimes I look like a walking rainbow, other times I feel that one bold statement item is enough to lift any outfit from drab to fab.

“Anything from a handbag to a pair of large earrings can carry an entire ensemble, and this season Marks & Spencer is offering an accessories range to do just that.

“In this instance, I built my look around a bright pillar box red, opting for a simple handbag to offset my loud, print-heavy outfit.”

ACCESSORISE ALL AREAS

“I can’t praise these cat-eye sunglasses enough. I fell in love with them the moment I found them in store: in fact, I bought two pairs just in case I lose one. They look like designer shades!

“For this outfit, I went all-out on the accessories to show just how easy it is to dress up a simple T-shirt. The earrings are the perfect mix of loud and proud, while these shoe options are all elegant and lady like.”

High contrast

“If you are opting for a navy or black ensemble for the day, try pairing it with a bright accessory such as this neon pink cross-body bag.

“The contrast of colours makes a real statement. To top it off, throw on some bold earrings. I am quite simply obsessed with this chandelier pair.”
