Who knew wrists were such fertile growing ground? Designer Chloe did, apparently. She’s offering up this ultra feminine wrist cuff, decorated with a dainty poppy. Made with gold metal enamel and crystal, the cuff’s darker stone colour makes this a year round accessory. I really love the use of metal to create a flower for the wrist, instead of going the typical fabric route.

Desingers are giving you an opportunity to delve into your goodie-two-shoes personality with demure frocks in soft pinks, peaches and a variety of shades of whites and creams. These are also totally Victorian inspired, so you’ll have to put your inner vixen away if you want to pull it off. Sorry ladies. Above is a dress by Alice + Olivia. After the jump, check out styles from Thread Social and Temperley London. There are plenty of various, but these three are a good basis for the style.

As much as I’m not a fan of wearing a logo, I do like this Juicy Couture handbag, primarily because of the fab details like the bow and the flower. The colour combo is fresh too. This is stylish summer pick for sure. Also comes in chocolate brown, but I’m leaning towards the blue.

Sunglasses are like lip glosses. They come in a million shapes, colours and styles, and tend to go missing in the bottom of purses. But they’re not as cheap. With that in mind, consider Modo for your next sunglasses purchase. Each pair of Modo sunnies are handmade in Japan, and definitely have a sweet colourful twist on the classic large frame. Made out of acetate. Check out even more pics after the jump.

I get that it’s still freaking hot out. But fall is coming. And you need to be prepared. So, here are some samples of jackets from Diesel’s Black Gold collection. My personal favourite jacket of the bunch is the one pictured above, the Pengiusi, in chocolate brown leather. I love the asymmetrical zip and slanted pockets. Chocolate brown is going to huge for fall, at least that’s what I’m predicting. After the jump, check out the Amazi, a quilted, brown motorcycle style jacket with rabbit fur. Also after the jump is the Coopes, which comes in black and has a lot of random buttons. Not feeling this one as much, but who doesn’t love options? The whole collection is very motorcycle chic.

You’re sure to be the winner with these patent leather peep toes complete with tortoiseshell heels. I’ve got to say, I love the heel, although the 4.5 inch height is frightening. It’s about time someone put tortoise to good use, instead of regulating it to the sunglasses isle. It’s a pretty sweet detail. Also, love the whole cut of this shoe, by Giuseppe Zanotti. The buckles are hot. More views after the jump.

Seriously, I have a large leather bag in fun colours problem. So here’s another that would be totally swell, by Chloe. The Cyndi leather tote (pictured colour is papaya, yum) comes with silver fixings and is alligator stamped leather, so it will have a nice texture. Love the colour, love the size. I also love how it’s not pink or orange, but an unusual blend of the two. Definitely a nice warm colour and a practical shape.

Oh, and you thought watches came in metallic colours only and were BORING. Nuh uh. Not if you get your hands on a Neon Plasteramic, an over-sized ceramic look alike plastic watch line in insane colours like Kryptonite and Atomic Orange. How can you resist? Perfectly fun and funky for summer. And heck, $195 is pretty darn cheap for a fabulous watch from Toywatch.
