It was impossible to miss one of this season’s trends all over the catwalks; yes I’m talking about the statement necklace! Dries Van Noten, Cavalli and Amarni amongst others all loaded up their models with over sized beads, pearls and flowers, evidently with the shared philosophy; the bigger the better!

If you love the fun-filled accessories of Tatty Divine, but can’t quite justify the price tag – in the words of my mother “ooh they are expensive for a bit of plastic aren’t they” – then you’re going to be really happy that there is a cheaper, but no less stylish alternative. A friend recently told me about Helpless Romantic and now I’m hooked.
