Catwalk Queen's Gemma Cartwright writes...
Last Friday saw the launch of ASOS's new venture, 'Hit'. It's a bit of a cult, novelty venture that allows various hip designers to create quirky limited edition pieces for the site, which will be sold in small quantities at what seem so far to be reasonable prices.
First up is London Fashion Week darling Louise Gray, who's created pairs of friendship brooches from suede, plastic, aluminium and what looks like those curly keychains we all had at school in the early 90s. They're £20 a pair, and on sale now.
Gemma Cartwright gets all political over at Catwalk Queen and I thought it was only fair to share these accessories with you too...
Apparently, there was some kind of political event going on in the USA last night? Something about an election?!
Oh, come on, how on earth were we supposed to let this one go by without a few naff product picks? If you voted Democrat yesterday, show your national pride with a few Obama-themed goodies we've found on our travels...

You know how I love the birdies and I just discovered these vintage 'Dickie bird' pins from Canadian store, Smitten Kitten (love that name).
You get three 1" pins made from vintage embroidered fabric for just CAD$7 (which is about £4). Bargain (although I haven't checked the shipping cost...).

I'm not a big fan of corsages, mainly because they come in and out of fashion so often that I never know where I am with them (and these are the kind of things that worry me).
Still, I like this one, just because it's so big and pretty. It costs $12 from Toast on Etsy.

And since I'm feeling nostalgic, how about these cute sweet wrapper badges from Colloco? Handmade in the UK from the original wrappers, they feature such faves as Black Jacks, Bazooka and Fruit Salad and cost just £2.50 each. I'm telling you, if I still had a schoolbag, it'd be covered in these! Covered!

I'm guessing that this tag wouldn't actually *prevent* anyone from stealing your bag, but it's still pretty cute, don't you think? Although I am slightly concerned it might just give someone the *idea* to steal your bag. By Evod at Hannah Zakari, it costs just £7.00.
