It's all a Zoo

 Designers have been turning a little bit David Attenborough in their new accessory collections, turning to the animal kingdom for inspiration, looking at everything from bugs to bears, to create stunningly detailed pieces.

 Jewelled brooches with an antique embellished edge, were all over the catwalks at Lanvin, adding heaps of interest to minimal looks, whilst our favourite high street jewellery designer Tatty Devine have created an array of flapping fabulous parrot necklaces. Wonderful for adding a splash of colour to your holiday wardrobe.
