Alexander McQueen Satin Knuckleduster Box Clutch from Covetique

I've just found UK online store Covetique which buys and sells pre-owned designer clothes and accessories.  Customers can sell their items - and they collect free of charge - or buy them at a discount from the site.  Brands featured include Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Hermès, Jimmy Choo and Burberry, with up to 90% off.  Being preowned, items won't be necessarily perfect but the site make the condition of the product very clear.

Being pre-owned, items will be one-offs and specific sizes, but it's definitely worth having a look at the gorgeous items available.  I love this Alexander McQueen box clutch with its knuckleduster ring detail.  On first impression, it's quite subtle but then one spots the jewelled skull detail and delicate Swarovski crystals to give extra edge and elegance.

The original RRP for this is £1,165 but is £550 from Covetique.

Alexander McQueen Enamel Skull Bracelet from Liberty London

Skull prints and patterns are still very much in fashion.  However, I do find that sometimes they can be a bit over the top, being too 'scary' or simply inappropriate.  Done correctly though, they can be simply charming, cool and edgy.

I have been coveting this Alexander McQueen skull bracelet from Liberty London for ages it seems, although I suspect it only came out a week or two ago.   It's the sort of thing that one can wear with any outfit, and I'd be tempted to wear it for a formal meeting at work to be a little bit cheeky!  The price tag is £145 but for a limited time, there's £30 off £150 or more spends with the code WOMENSAW13 so add this and some lovely stationery to your bag and save!

Awesome Accessories: Codello Rainbow Rocker Skulls Scarf from mybag.com

I'm really into my scarves at the moment.  Simple yet chic, the benefit of them is that they can jazz up and modernise any outfit by adding colour or fantastic patterns to an otherwise plain ensemble.  No other accessories are needed - the scarf can take centre stage!  I tend to wear patterned scarves with plain, unpatterned clothes or vice versa as I'm not yet brave enough to do the whole clashing patterns thing.  However, I am sure with the right ones this would work really well!

This Codello Rainbow Rocker Skulls scarf from mybag.com is lovely.  The colour provides a feminine and delicate touch but the skull print brings a touch of edginess.   Usually £35, it's £24.50 in the outlet at mybag.com - and there's a 10% off voucher code (OUTLET) which is valid until the 29th May, bringing it down to £22.05.
