BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
The only it-bag that matters this season, Prada’s Triangle satin mini bag with crystals might be the daintiest option from its just-launched holiday collection, but it packs an unbelievable punch. With not a centimetre spared from the all-over bedazzle treatment, this pint-sized purse is arm candy incarnate.
Prada Triangle satin mini bag with crystals, $3,700.
RETRO GLAM
A platform heel with big seventies energy, get ready to dance the night away in the brand new Fozzy Platform Sandal from Mi Piaci. A confident silhouette comprising a 10cm flared heel, a slim ankle strap and a leather upper featuring four rows of diamantes, we’re calling it the disco heel of the season.
GO GLITTER
Far from the most disappointing gift in your Christmas stocking, anyone over the age of 25 will likely agree that unwrapping a new pair of socks is the ultimate cosy treat. Bring that level of delight to someone you love with a 2-pack of Glitter Socks from Karen Walker, available in the very festive shades of sage, chestnut and pink.
Karen Walker Glitter Socks, $37.
PICK & MIX
Truly the gift that keeps on giving, Godavari’s ingenious accessories collection invites you to start with a pair of flawless diamond studs, and keep on customising your look with the addition of a diamond halo or large hoop. Combine all three for a stunning set and future heirloom that can be mixed and matched forever.
Godavari Diamons modular earrings, prices vary.

HAVING A BALL
Statement sunnies if we ever did see them, Gucci has surprised exactly no-one by coming out with the most party-ready pair of frames you could possibly imagine. Gold-toned metal gets the soirée started with a vintage square shape to suit all faces, but it’s the detachable disco balls decorated with the Double G logo for us.
