The Material Girl: Oh Mimco!

I never thought I would be a slave to the fashion inspiration of stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe, but after watching her Bravo series, The Rachel Zoe Project, I've realised that she really knows the power of good accessories. Fashion for me used to be all about the clothes, but I've now seen that a simple black top and jeans can be transformed to instant glamour with a statement necklace or cocktail ring or some fabulous shoes.

Armed with this epiphany, I strolled into the Mimco boutique tucked away in the ever-so-stylish Block Arcade to collect a swag of lemmings for the season ahead. For those not in the know, Mimco is an Australian label founded in 1996 by Amanda Briskin that specialises in accessories - bags, shoes, jewellery, hats, etc - with an emphasis on quality unique statement pieces. The brand is very popular in Australia and can also be found internationally, with some of the bags and clutches even appearing on Sex and the City!

Here are my must-have items straight from the online store (which will deliver internationally):

Lady Worker Bag - $479

My absolute favourite! This would look fab with some charms or a silk scarf tied to it.
