See by Chloe Accessories has been consistently turning out simply adorable pieces in the relatively short time it's been around, and I'm an instant fan of its new collection, which features an unmistakable round-edge star on each piece.
The purse is pure aesthetic perfection, with lovely smooth lines and a classic shape that could fit neatly into almost any bag. The handbag, a super trendy hobo, is finished beautifully with the addition of heavy, monogrammed resin rings, which are echoed in the purse's design too.
Purse, £135 and bag, £110, both at My-Wardrobe
Forget flamingoes and lip charms: the house of Chloé has spoken, and the humble sheep is now the hottest decoration to hang from your bag.
See by Chloé Accessories are selling their blue 'Joyrider' squashy blue bag complete with sheep ornament for £145 over at My-Wardrobe, where you can also buy a 'standalone' sheep (50% cow leather) for £35. I can't really see this one taking off, but an awful lot of people seem to have a fondness for the wooly beasts, so who knows. £145 My-Wardrobe.
Unlike many major brands, Chloé is keeping its accessories feminine next season but with more of a focus on weighty, subsantial elements like the gigantic crystal embellishments and hard-edged chain seen on its Mira bag.
I like the opulent, vintagey feel created by the glass bulbs against the dusky hue of peach eggshell leather. An instant classic, it's £2,545 at Net-a-Porter.

Here's a bag I can imagine working well in more or less any day-to-day situation: it's a comfortable size, not too bulky but big enough to carry plenty of work items on top of your essential purse, makeup and mobile phone.
It's Chloe's 'Saskia' small tote bag in a lovely deep glossy red, and it's being sold half price over at The Outnet at the moment; a great opportunity if you're looking to make an investment purchase without 'investing' too heavily. Find it for £435 at The Outnet - an incredible price for this classic tote that has prompted whisperings of it-bag status!

Omigod, omigod, omigod, omigod. Half price. It's half price! How could this not be Designer Pick of The Week?
Ok, I've calmed down now. This Chloé 'Bay' bag was £867 and is now only £433!! I'm using the term 'only' very loosely here, by the way.
It's a big old leather bag, which you could probably fit your kitchen sink into if needs be, and the lovely purple colour is drawing me to my credit card.

If you've been as excited about theOutnet.com as I have been, then you've probably already discovered their little "Going, Going, Gone" section on your travels. In case you haven't, it is basically a reverse auction, where as time goes on, the price drops and you have to weigh up whether you want to risk your size selling out in order to shave a few pounds off the price.
A risky game for sure, but so much fun (and potentially some wonder-bargains to be had.) Coming up in three days is the Chloé Kerala bag, pictured above, which had an original price of £666. I wonder what it'll come down to... Only way to know for sure is to check back when the flash sale begins.
I told you guys I'd keep you posted when the next Chloé sample sale rolled around... and here it comes! Next week to be precise. So jot down the date in your diaries, warm up those credit cards and make sure you RSVP here to get your invitation, which you will need to print and take along with you. If you haven't yet signed up to Fashion Confidential, you may need to do so before you can obtain an invite.
