The Statement

Cuff head - What to wear with all those loose cottons and layered jerseys that are coming in now? Anchor the look with a bracelet cuff like this rope style one by Kit Heath available at branches of Neville jewellers, Cork, McCallions jewellers, Donegal and a slew of other stockists.

See www.kitheath.com for more. Prices start at €40.

The Trophy

The keen wedge - Pass some serious muster at the beach this summer with these knock-em dead gorgeous wedges by Christian Louboutin, €420, at Harvey Nichols.

The Detail

A-symmetrical - If you thought the one-shoulder had run its course already its time to think again because this summer it is just about the hottest look you can buy into. Whether Grecian style draping, slick 80s body-con or Lanvin-inspired ruffles, asymmetrical dresses and tops are everywhere for the new season, and looking much more slick and sophisticated than in past incarnations. We particularly like this hot little number from asos at just €75. www,asos.com

Insider...

Love all the New Romantic hair art that's taking off now but not quite confident enough to buy into it yourself? Try it on the littles in your life instead. One of the trendiest names in hair bows right now is East London-based Le Tour de Force (www.letourdeforce.com) who have just launched a cute collection for under fives. See www.littlefashiongallery.com for more. This one is priced at €65.

If you are aiming to do a Gwyneth Paltrow and "shop within your wardrobe" this season (any other Goop.com readers out there?), you'll need to freshen up your designer goodies with a visit to the dry cleaners/cobblers/menders quick sharp. We've found the best high-end shoe fashion repairs business in town – they specialise in re-soling and re-colouring Louboutins and other designer named shoes. C&D shoe repairs are at 41 Charlemont St, Dublin 2. www.cdshoes.ie

Just when did House of Fraser start getting so good by the way? The latest new labels to join the already heaving stable are Lauren by Ralph Lauren and Jaeger. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
