I covet designer bags as much as the next Bag Lady, but I must admit that when it comes to accessories, brooches are my One True Love. There's something timeless about a beautiful brooch, particularly those with that antiqued, "has a story to it" feel. With a brass finish, and set with opaque gold diamantes, 'Madagascar' would make a wonderful addition to any vintage-lover's wardrobe. If you're not privy to any family heirlooms in the near future, then create your own story with this beauty! It's £18 from Accessorize Boutique.
