C is for... Chloe

Chloé was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisienne with a bohemian spirit. Rejecting the stiff formality of 1950s fashion, Aghion created soft, body-conscious clothes from fine fabrics and christened the collections "luxury prêt-à-porter.“Shop Chloé at Harrods.

New Safari: blend khaki shades in sharp shapes. Hot Hues: nice and spicy and will liven up your look. Neo Biker: swarthy but chic too; think plenty of leather jackets.

L is for...Lace

You know a trend is going to be big when you see it on bags, shoes and even jewellery. As Monica Vinader's earrings demonstrate, fashion has fallen for lace in all its intricate finery. Moving onto pastels and whites for Spring, no other fabric says feminine delicacy quite as well.

Neon is bold, bright and brazen - just why we love it. Add zesty accessories if the full-on look isn't for you.

pumps, slinky slingbacks or quirky flats, footwear label Charlotte Olympia is your shortcut to the

ultimate in party feet. Launched in 2007 by half-Brazilian, half-English designer

web on the sole.

P is for...Pastels

On the other side of the colour divide sits

pastels - pretty, painterly and the

diner laden with sherbet shades -

pistachio, sky blue and rose - and voilà your

inspiration.

Herve Leger and Michael Kors.

U is for...Upscale

Would you like to go large madam? Yes please, is fashion's answer this season when it comes to the humble clutch. Stepping out of the shadow (and finally allowing women everywhere to take their

iPhone, Blackberry and wallet out with them) these big beauties are here to stay.

Who doesn't want leg-

lengthening heels? Suffering

for beauty is one thing, but temporarily

crippling oneself for the sake of a

few inches challenges even

the most die-hard fashion fans. Step

forward the wedge:

comfortable, lofty and

fashion forward. Amen.

X is for...X-Ray

Ever been embarrassed over a greying bra strap?

Well this season, there's no shame in showing your

smalls. Whether updating your underwear drawer

with a shot of neon from Mimi Holliday, or opting for some serious Valentine's

Day glamour, it's all about what's underneath.

Y is for...Yellow

Chris Martin, did this have anything to do with

you? Not only a song made popular by the

British band Coldplay but also the colour of the

season. Pair like Nicole Farhi (above) with bright red lips to prevent the

colour from washing you out.

wear rock’n’roll flair, Zoe Karssen’s hand-painted black statement prints

ennui to any outfit.
