Ray Ban Clubmasters and traditional aviator styles continue to be a massive hit, echoing our obsession with all-things retro when it comes to glasses frames and shades. Now is a great time to pick up sunglasses at good prices (because the sun is about to disappear behind a cloud and not come back ever again, right?) and we've just spotted a huge Ray Ban sale over at Brandalley.
These classic aviators, for example, are down to £85 from £120, and will certainly still be there when you dust them off next summer. Or, indeed, next week if we experience yet another autumn heatwave! A great idea also for those embarking on a winter sun adventure who don't relish the idea of scouring the high street's bargain bin for the dregs of what's left over from last season's holiday shop!

Oh, the Topshop sale. It's great place to stock up on cut-price accessories that soon become wardrobe favourites. Just like this better-than-half-price tassel cross-body bag.
Although it's from Topshop's SS11 range, we can count a nod to at least two of winter's hottest trends: navajo (tassels and plaited strap) and bold hue (they say red, we'd call it orange). Oh, and it's 100% leather. What's not to love?
Topshop tassel front leather cross-body bag, was £28, now £12 at Topshop.com.
With autumn looking like it's here to stay, it would seem we're not the only ones who are feeling the chill. Instead of digging out that old cardigan to keep warm though, celeb-land has chosen the humble beret to keep it stylishly snug.
We've spotted Hilary Duff, Katy Perry, Kourtney Kardashian and stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe sporting the French favourite over the past few weeks. And, there's one beret in particular that they're all coveting: Eugenia Kim's leopard-print 'Evelyn'.
It's obvious why. Hand-knitted from baby alpaca wool, the 'Evelyn' is not only toasty. It's also the chicest way we know to mask a bad hair day.
Annoyingly though, this beret doesn't seem to be available yet in the UK. Pick up a something similar from Eugenia Kim at Matches.com.
We love it when a celebrity falls hard for a high-street accessory. Firstly, it means we can afford to steal her look. Then, we can wear it all the time too (even when it really doesn't go) without feeling silly.
Imagine our excitement then when Tulisa was papped twice heading to X Factor rehearsals with Nica's 'Elettra' tote (above) in navy on her arm. It's roomy, retro-looking, will smarten up casual looks and is a snip at only £69.
We can see why she's smitten...

We stumbled upon London Retro's vintage-inspired glasses range a while ago. But, with the start of the new season, our lust levels have reached new heights.
London Retro is designed by a bunch of city-dwellers who named the quirky specs after their favourite London spots. There's the John Lennon-style oversized round frame, 'Fitzrovia'; the timeless 'Shoreditch' acetate wayfarer (the tortoiseshell version has a real vintage vibe) and the amazingly kitch-but-not-twee fifties-influenced, 'Queens'.
Pick your favourite (you may be there a while), pay £99 and, voila, an instant new season update.
The London Retro range is available at Glassesdirect.com.
This gorgeous navajo-inspired clutch gave us serious palpitations when it dropped in our inbox earlier this afternoon. And we were even more taken a back when we learned it was from snuggly winter boot favourite, Ugg.
Combining suede, studding, contrasting zig-zag stitch and tribal detailing, it could easily have been dreamed up on the American plains, centuries ago.
We'll certainly be checking out the rest of their AW11 accessories collection.
Ugg Santa Fe Clutch, £195 available at Ugg.co.uk
H&M's annual designer collaborations are a great way to pick up limited edition high-end accessories without the hefty price tag.
After Lanvin for H&M sold out in about ten seconds last year, Donatella Versace will be bringing her signature bold, bright patterns to the British high street on November 17th.
We'll be making a beeline for the Miami print bags, suede high-heeled boots and anything studded (according to the lovely people at H&M, studs will be everywhere).
Here's some preview shots by Kacper Kaspryzk to get you ridiculously excited. Be sure to set your alarm...
