These are a few of My Asho's favourite things...

'Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...'

These are the opening lines to the iconic song 'My Favourite Things' from 'The Sound of Music'. These are just a few of the things that Maria (played by the incomparable Julie Andrews) thinks about when she is feeling sad, so as not to feel so bad.

A good amount of decades on, My Asho - by way of its fabulous collection of Electric Statement Accessories - gives us a healthy dosage of necklaces, bags, belts and so much more, to add to our list of favourite things. So now you can shop yourself happy!

Here are just a few of My Asho's favourite accessories:

1. Yellow Ankara Clutch, 'Urban Knit'

This vibrantly coloured super-snap clutch will take you effortlessly from your day to evening wear. And whilst its doing that, you will be killing two key S/S '11 trends with one stone- Print and Colour. International labels like Versus, Etro, and Michael Van Der Ham all sent their models sashaying down the catwalks with clutches grasped firmly in their palms. Take note.

2. Feather Necklace, 'Christie Brown, Ghana'
Modern Craft was a popular theme that ran seamlessly through the international catwalks this S/S'11. Feathers, raffia, tassels were applied to pieces to give them rich, cultural texture and age-old artisan techniques like plaiting and weaving were implemented to create pieces that looked beautifully handmade. Create your own memorable historical moment by adorning your neck with this unique statement bib necklace.

3. Ankara Head Piece, 'Aimas' 

What is not to love about this cute Ankara print head piece, with its adorable bow fixings? Designers like Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferretti, Lanvin and Prada all used head accessories to drive their point fashionably home. And now you can be head girl without the designer price-tag.

4. Bijou Obi Belt, 'Ituen Basi', £22

Several collections this season showed heavy inspiration and influence from the East. Most especially, Frida Giannini at Gucci reigned in her bold colour-blocked looks with shiny metallic Obi belts. To replicate this waist-cinching trend, look no further than Ituen Basi's Bijou Obi belt.

S/S '11 Trends from Catwalk To Wardrobe

My Asho brings you the top 3 Spring/Summer '11 trends from the catwalks and shows you how to look trend-savvy at a fraction of the usual exorbitant designer prices. What more incentive do you need to trend-shop yourself happy?

1. The 'Eye-Popping Colour' Trend

The international catwalks were awash with explosive colourful brights showing the world that this is not the season for the 'shrinking violet'; quite far from it. Indeed, this is a season for the 'bold and beautiful' and designers experimented with dazzling hues like oceanic blues, jewel-toned purples and glowing fluoros. With all the different ways to wear this trend, My Asho advises you to wear one vibrant shade, enriched in luxe fabric from top to bottom.

2. The 'Print-Tastic' Trend

Graphic, floral, painterly, fruit, tribal - these are just some of the prints that designers injected onto their collections to give of that 'spring to summer' feeling. My Asho advises you to pair a loud statement print skirt with a simple white tee, camisole or vest.

3. The 'Taking it to the Max' Trend

Designers went to full, flowing lengths when designing their dresses this season and why not? Nothing encapsulates chic summer dressing like a ground skimming dress that billows daintily around your ankles. My Asho advises you to pair this glamorous trend with flat sandals to radiate those care-free summer vibes.
