Admittedly, Kim Kardashian would never rank as unrivalled, avant garde, or experimental in the style stakes - black blazers, belted trenches, and Birkin bags are hardly revolutionary. But boy, the girl is trรจs chic! 

Sticking to a palette of nudes and neutrals, Kimmy K's outfits are punctuated by show-stopping sunnies, vertiginous heels, and that sable mane - the perfect accessory, non?

Take some tips from this Kardashian's closet and head to Topshop for your style fix, or if your purse is bulging, grab this of-the-moment trench by Burberry Prosum. A leather jacket/trench coat hybrid, it is the easiest way to transport the leather-look slap bang into spring. 

Louboutins they ain't, but these River Island platforms are so good. Wear with this season's pleated, floral skirts or with matt leggings to nail the KK style. And be sure to frame your face with a pair of aviators - Ray Ban, Gucci or Primarni, it don't mean a thang as long as they are dark and oversized

Undeniably chic, Victoria Beckham's dresses are undoubtedly the basis of a dream wardrobe. However, as much as I adore La Beckham's classic style, don't just add platforms and a Birkin - instead try pairing this creamy crepe dress with brown, beiges and pops of orange.

This bag turns heads, demands compliments and spends its days getting sniffed by my friends in cocktail bars. The meaty pink leather is cushioned by grey textured suede, and the smell is oh-so-sweet. If you're considering getting a Bayswater, I have two words for you - do it. Once you go Mulberry, you never go back.

Oh my, I think I've been bitten by the Bayswater bug.

Although it's arguably too early to be stocking up on winter attire, shearling aviator jackets - which were seen draped all over the Burberry models at London Fashion Week - are set to be big news this autumn. Every fashionista with an ounce of sense is scouring boutiques and online stores to score the 'it' jacket of next season. This Acne offering deviates from the typical tan and brown leather often associated with aviator jackets, and as such looks best paired with statement accessories - think lace-up ankle boots, a slouchy bag and a boyfriend watch. Vintage stores are also brimming with aviator-esque jackets, so if your budget is more Primark than Prada, there is still no excuse not to be sky high in the style stakes next season. 

Shearling Aviator Jacket - Acne £1,420

Lace-up Booties - Tory Burch £305

Unarguably iconic, Mulberry bags find themselves lovingly wedged in the crook of many a fashionistas' arm season after season. Controversially, the Alexa just doesn't do it for me. Too 'it' to last more than a season, too slouchy to be considered a true classic, and to be honest, too much like your old school satchel. Now don't get me wrong, if someone offered to by me the Alexa, I wouldn't say no. I'd grab it with two hands, utter my Ps and Qs quick sharpish, and rush home to flog it on eBay. Because folks, the Bayswater is the bag for me.  

I've heard many dub the Bayswater 'boring,' 'too grown-up' and 'stuffy,' but you only have to reference the leopard print calf hair bag to refute these claims. I want.
