Shine for day. It was a mantra on the runways last February, and while Girlawhirl still can't pull off a shimmering tunic for a client meeting, she finds that a touch of glitz – in the form of a metallic handbag or shoe is all it takes to perk up an outfit. And it's often pewter and bronze – instead of the more overtly shiny gold and silver – that she finds works with almost everything in her wardrobe… • This brassy bowler holds a lot, and Girlawhirl loves the way it goes with black, brown and even navy clothes so easily. She can fit everything she needs for a long day inside and she's even made it work as a computer case on more than one occasion.

• Marc Jacobs' Softy Satchel would definitely count as a splurge, but Girlawhirl loves the smoldering color that's somewhere between gold and bronze. With multiple outside pockets, she'd always know where her keys, cell, and bus pass are.

• When she's out to dinner, all Girlawhirl needs is a clutch that shines like crazy. And this one from Hobo International combines the shine of patent leather with the perfect bronze color to achieve a gorgeous sheen. It's almost too perfect – Girlawhirl tries to hold it by its frame to avoid fingerprints!

• These days Girlawhirl wears ballet flats with almost everything. But truth be told, when she first started wearing them she found that some were so flat and lacked any kind of support that they were impossible to wear all day long. Thankfully she's discovered Cole Haan's shoes that incorporate Nike Air technology. These Air Josey ballet flats help Girlawhirl get through the day in style and without aching feet.
