This season there are so many different accessories to choose from. During these credit crunch times, accessories are a great way to update your look with the latest trends without forking out for a whole new wardrobe. Here are my favourite accessories for autumn winter 08.

Micro Clutch - This year my favourite clutch has got even smaller. OK this trend is not the most practical, I can barely fit a lipstick in this bag never mind mobile, purse, perfume, powder and keys, but I love it anyway. This tartan micro clutch is great for everyday use and tartan is also a major trend for autumn winter 08.

Statement necklace - this season necklaces are big, bold and all about getting noticed. Take inspiration frm the catwalk at Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton. Try wearing  a really gorgeous necklace with a plain polo neck to really show it off. This Black Onyx and Crystal Pendant will look great with a monochrome outfit.

Patterned tights - This seasons patterned tights are definitely classed as an accessory. Not only will they keep you warm but they will also brighten up a plain outfit. These Celeste Stein Marilyn Monroe tights will add a bit of fun to any outfit.

Gloves - I love the long gloves, fingerless gloves and leather gloves for this season. They look great with a short sleeved top or coat or ruched down with a long sleeved coat. These long fingerless gloves are great for wearing with a casual jacket.
