Vamp or villain? Lady or tramp? High heels or creepers? Rebel or rider?

Oh, the places you’ll go!

Autumn Winter 2012 is upon us and we’ve picked out the very accessories that will help to define your look for the season ahead. From the exalted mannerist ceilings of Sicily’s gilded churches () to the courts of Imperial China () via the treasures of the Kremlin (), we’re booked on a round-the-world trip and we want you along for the ride.

What a wealth of things to discover along the way: get your rocks off with mineralistic cutaway shoes. Find out why silver boots will soon be everywhere (clue: they’re ’s latest offering). Make friends with the Animals of Farthing Wood ( animal charms have us feeling blissfully bucolic).

We’ll be wearing lower heels, pairing oxblood with everything, getting into the riding boot and looking smoking in slippers. From Christopher Kane to Givenchy, Jil Sander to Givenchy, and all your favourite designer brands in between, here is your guide to Autumn Winter 2012’s most inspiring accessories.
