Jewellery Putting on the glitz Light up any outfit with the latest sparkling accessories on board Forget pared-back minimalism, this season it’s all about the glitz and the glitter. From Proenza Schouler to Rodarte (left), the AW 2015 catwalks were all about high-shine embellishment.

Wish list: Halcyon Days Orange & Gold Bangle It’s official. After gracing the fashion catwalks for much of 2015, orange really is the new black. However, if you’re not brave enough to step out dressed from head to toe in this hue (and let’s face it, who is?) consider adding a flash of colour in the form of this Halcyon Days Orange & Gold Bangle, £79 (page 85). Wear it with matching bracelets for extra impact or show it off with a minimalist outfit. On trend and sophisticated. A winning combination.

pieces of jewellery. The charms that accompany Pandora’s bracelets are perfect for travellers as they can wear their holiday memories on their wrist – for example, a mini Big Ben or tiny aeroplane (pictured, left). Give one as a special gift or start your own tradition.
