Now I'm a big fan of belts at the moment , finding that they are amazing at creating a waist where there is none, especially in January so I was rather taken by this lovely bird belt from Mojo Handbags. I find the detailing really unusual and the cut out birds are ever so sweet whilst the style would be really flattering.
If you dare I'd suggest teaming it with this seasons nautical wear and see if the whole sailor stripe thing could be softened with a lovely belt. If not, basic black is pretty much a fail safe option.
