Big and bold-key words for this summer's accessories.

Victoria Beckham might have her fashion faults, but when it comes to accessorizing she gets the message: big, bold, and more, more, more is her mantra.

So Posh's bling is the real thing? Real or not, it makes no difference as long as your bracelets and bangles and shoes and specs are larger and brighter than ever.

The season is aboutdressing up, being cool and always keeping one beat ahead, and that's just the accessories.

As Coco Chanel once said, "fashion is not only a matter of clothing".

Key looks this season are:

Sunglasses: sporty, with wrap-around shapes and big logos.

Jewellery: cuff bracelets and slave bangles in metallics and bright plastic. Chains with coloured gemstones..

Footwear: boots with everything. Shoes with toe peepers and platform soles. Metallic fabrics and leathers (silver and gold). Ballet flats in brights and animal prints.

Bags: still big. The past summer in Europe was the season of the big white handbag. The jury is out whether the style will catch on here. In the meantime, any bag made from snake, or shiny silver, gold or copper fabric has "the look".
