Aww, this petite wallet is so precious I could just eat it up (ummm, no not really). But it does have something about it which makes me love it so - although I'm having a hard time trying to pinpoint just exactly what that would be. Is it the mini-me size? The pleated leather detailing? The eye-catching marble button on the front? (Answer: All of the above!)
Mimco is a brand I absolutely adore and I can safely say everything I own from the label has lasted the distance and have stayed firm favourites on my accessory shelf. I'm hoping to add this little sweetheart to the collection too - it's £65 from House of Fraser.

We saw this handbag over on one of our favourite blogs Sassybella.com and thought it was perfect fodder for this site (hope you don't mind us pinching your image Helen!)
Basically, an Australian label called TV (who do great clothing designs actually) have made some patent vinyl "arm candy" which frighteningly resemble our drawstring bin liners at home. Only thing is these ones aren't Sainsbury's £3 finest, but are apparently AUD$180 (that's nearly £90 people!)
Helen says Aussie fashionistas can't get enough of these Trash Bags, and they're apprently turning out to be quite the "hot ticket item". Er, what do you reckon...?

How amazingly cool are these laminate bracelets by Sydney-based jewellery designer Elke Kramer? She's taken this season's current love for all things studded, tough and chunky and given it her own little twist. She was apparently inspired by the aesthetic of her mate, fellow Aussie designer Jessie Hill, and you can check out the models wearing the designs in Jessie's Spring/Summer 09 show.
I'd like to be able to afford all three colours (jet black, eggshell white and black/clear) and wear them all at once like the model, but sadly at £97 apiece, that's not likely to happen anytime soon. If you want one, or all three (grrr), then you can find them here.

The news beloved designer Alice McCall is designing a second capsule range for Topshop was greeted with much enthusiasm in Shiny Towers (or was that just me jumping up and down beside my desk!?) but let me tell you, the 25th September can not creep around quick enough.
However, to keep me - and any other Alice McCall fanatics - happy in the meantime, perhaps this patent 'Rip Her to Shreds' oversize bag (inspired by Blondie) could do with being welcomed into a warm and loving home (yours). Although for £234 (from My Catwalk), you might want to weigh things up - that is probably a good portion of the Topshop collection that you could own instead. I'm already saving for both!

Good news my lovelies! Australian accessories brand Mimco is winging its way over to the UK to make us all very, very happy campers. I say this with such glee because Mimco is one of my favourite bag and accessory lines and am excited you will get to now share in all the fun.
What, where, when etc?

I don't know if you've ever noticed that Phoebe in Friends has the best bags. She's quite often carrying a sort of "granny" bag, but with an exciting pattern or picture. I've often wondered where she got them from ... *cough* I mean where the wardrobe people got them from (because I know it's a TV show, I do).
Anyway, I've just found this gorgeous 'Sylvie - Reflection' bag by Australian company Spencer and Rutherford. It's a structured fabric bag with sky blue floral print fabric and I love it. It costs AUS$484.

I love the pretty and feminine designs on MOZI's products, but I can't help wishing this was a lapwing instead of a red wren. Then it could be a lapwing laptop sleeve and that would make me happier.
As it is, I'll just have to be cheered by the colours, the fact that it comes in three sizes (and has a fleece lining) and the price - AUS$59.95 for the 17".
