No good fashion blog could post all summer without mentioning sunglasses. Here are three picks we think you might like.

Oversized sunnies have long been a rather glamorous choice with fans such as Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie. This pair would go well with a maxi dress for the boho look this summer and this pair are only £12 from ASOS!

What’s set to be a bit hit for Autumn/Winter 2010 is the ladylike look, with Louis Vuitton and Prada championing the trend. Stay ahead of the crowd with this pair of sunnies from Monsoon for £15. They’re sort of half way between Wayfarers and those 50s cats eye glasses that we will probably start seeing in stores for next season. Not only that but the lighter coloured frames are very now – a great example is Prada’s “Postcards” sunnies that you might have seen advertised in every monthly mag and a few bus stops!

Lastly, we have this pair of aviators from Ray Ban for £111 from Net-A-Porter. Whilst oversized maybe be glam, glam, glam, aviators send out a relaxed, chic vibe – think Kate Moss or other models off duty.

Okay, I think I might have a bit of an charm necklace addiction… I thought that statement were my favourite kind of necklace (as evidenced by this post), but whilst researching charm necklaces to feature for this blog post, I realised that I actually know a few places to go to get some cute necklaces that not many people will have. Unfortunately I already edited all the images I needed for this blog post so I’m going to split all the must-have charm necklaces into two posts instead. In part one I’m going to talk about necklaces from the high street or well-known jewellery designers, and in part two I’ll talk about all the best places to get unique necklaces at pocket money prices. Here is part one…

This Pearl Friendship Knot necklace is by Anna Vogel, £250 (left), has been made from a Victoria brooch. Her collection (available from Liberty) features vintage charms that she has collected over the years, so you can rest assured that you will be hard pressed to find someone else with the same necklace as you! We just love the sweet little enamel flowers with pearl centers. If you’re generous, this would make a great present for a friend (think of it as a grown-up version of those “Best Friends” necklaces you had as a child) or for yourself if you’re after a fantastic unique piece.

For a cheaper option, how about this Cath Kidston Good Luck charm necklace, £38 (right)? The queen of vintage prints has brought this “love, luck and wisdom” necklace out for the superstitious (myself included!). Pick this one up to keep bad luck at bay from ASOS.

I am a total fangirl for Alex Monroe jewellery. In my eyes he can do no wrong, and this Aubergine necklace, £135 is fun, sweet and completely different to most charms out there. Okay, so you might not be on the look-out for an aubergine charm necklace, but I swear, once you see this necklace in person you will fall head over heels for its charm. I first saw this necklace around this time last year when I was working in the fashion department of Cosmopolitan (check out the link to see the full-page spread they did of his necklaces) and was just a squealing mess over how small and delicate the charm is. There are only a handful of designers who do “charm” as well as Alex does so if you’ve never been a fan of aubergines, be sure to check out the rest of his collection as there’s sure to be something to suit everyone’s tastes.

Laura Lees is another jewellery designer I first came into contact with whilst at Cosmo, and she is part of the handful that does “charm” like no one else! I absolutely adore this initial charm necklace (I collect them almost obsessively) as it is the definition of charm – small, sweet and classic. Prices start at £85 for a sterling silver version, peaking at £185 for a 9ct white gold version. There is nothing else I could possibly say to sell this necklace to you – it speaks volumes all by itself!

Keep checking back for part two which will feature less well-known jewellery designers at super-affordable prices!

I always wear my gold ‘charm’ necklace, and regularly get comments about it.

I picked up the letter L in an antique shop in the lanes Brighton about 4 years ago, and the swallow I came across in Grays Antique Market just off South Molton Street in London.

One of the ones I have loved on the high street has gone into sale at Urban Outfitters and is now only £9.99!

The Mulberry Alexas were like golddust in the sales – the only reason I think I managed to get one was because the sale started a few days earlier than advertised! For those who didn’t manage to get one or are still saving for theirs, might we interest you in one of the following in the meantime?

On the left we have the Old School Satchel, £46 which comes in black, red and navy. Don’t let the name deceive you though, this bag is far from the satchels you used to have in school. No, this version is far more grown up and resembles more of a cool, casual briefcase rather than something that you’d pair with knee-high socks, pleated skirts and pigtails. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, how about the Leather Braid X-Body bag, £48? Unlike the satchel, this one is leather (as if the name didn’t give it away!) and also comes in white and navy as well as the brown pictured. It’s a sweet option with quite a vintage look that could be your everyday bag. Whichever one you prefer, they are both great as the adjustable strap means you can choose to wear it on your shoulder or cross bodied (for those times when you’ve overstuffed your bag and want to swap shoulders). Buy both from Urban Outfitters now!

I am a firm believer that a good statement necklace can totally transform your entire outfit. It can turn something totally casual into cool casual chic, or it can make a tired, old outfit new and fresh again. In short – a statement necklace is a great investment piece, but unlike some other investment items, you don’t have to break the bank to get hands on one.

I think when most people think of statement necklaces they tend to think they might be quite bulky or quite heavy, but this fringed statement necklace from Bitching and Junkfood at Urban Outfitters is quite the opposite – it’s light but is still a piece that will make you get noticed for all the right reasons. This is easily my favourite of all the bunch and besides the fact that it won’t wind you everytime you take a step, fringing is something that always seems to crop up around summertime. It’s that trend that keeps coming back year after year, so this is not necessarily a use-once-and-dispose-of piece. Besides that, fringing is not an obvious season-only trend like florals, for example, so you would be able to wear it year-round, too. At £80, you should definitely be able to get your money’s worth!

To the majority of people, I think Accessorize is the go-to place for jewellery, and they have not disappointed in the statement necklaces section. The Tara long necklace (£35) features gorgeous light and dark blue beads on an antique silver chain. This is the perfect necklace for summer, and would be a good piece if you were looking to try the tribal trend without going overboard.

This long necklace with faceted stone from ASOS may not be the most obvious of statement necklaces. In fact, you could probably say that it’s an understated necklace. Regardless, it’s still a beautiful necklace to get you noticed and add a bit of oompf to your outfit. Whereas the last two were slightly more trends-led and trendy, this is quite a classic and elegant looking piece that will compliment just about any outfit. At £15, it’s the cheapest of the lot, but you can expect a lot of wear from this little bargain buy!
