Mango R299; [3] fringed earrings
H&M R149
1 An earful of earrings
Loved the hoop earrings back when JLo rocked them in her music vid for ‘Love Don’t Cost A Thing’? Well, big earrings are back and bigger than ever – think shoulder-grazing pendants, hoops in different shapes and lots of intricate detailing.

Nineties’ kids, rejoice! Whether you tie your pony with them or use them as wrist-warmers, remember the key to this trend is bigger means better.

Glamorous R699; [2] colour block clutch
London Hub at Spree R254; [3] metallic clutch

3 Clutch control
Ditch your tote and go compact with a smaller clutch bag this season. We know you’d prefer having your entire life on-the-go, but who can deny the appeal of a simple, sophisticated bag –plus, they all come with shoulder straps so you can go hands-free.
[1] Donut socks
Feat Sock Co. R95; [2] geometric socks
Stance R99; [3] hedgehog socks
Woolworths R39.95
4 Sock it to ’em
Quirky, printed socks are all the rage so don’t shy away from covering them up. Rock them with sandals to keep your tootsies warm or cuff your pants to show them off.

Kim K recently launched her own range of iPhone cases featuring her very popular (and often raunchy) emojis but donning your heart – or style or attitude – on your phone case has been around for ages. Whether it’s blinged up or blacked out, your phone case speaks a thousand words (and you don’t even need to type a thing!).
