A lot to thank my mother for

If you asked her the list would be endless, but top of my list of gratitude are these now vintage Versace sunglasses that I remember her purchasing when Gianni was still alive. At the time I laughed. Now she's laughing.

Unashamedly insouciant, they embody Versace at the peak of its glory: daring, decadent and hugely desirable.

A close second would be these gorgeous gold earrings by Parisian designer Georges Rech. So heavy they are clip-on (an inbuilt design feature purely to stop self-mutilation?), but that doesn't stop them being a brilliant, shimmering statement. Prescription? Wear with no other jewellery unless you're Anna Dello Russo.
