Dress for the drink you want.

Timeless and classic, the Martini is the cocktail of the moment (every moment, to be fair) and the designers at New York fashion label Kate Spade know it.

The latest collection is a full on homage to the elegance of the Martini and they have splashed the cocktail onto bags, purses, sweaters, bracelets and more.

When we tell you we gasped.

The tennis bracelet, the necklace, the statement ring

There have been a few food-themed accessories flying around lately, including a McDonald’s summer wardrobe range and Canadian Club’s ski resort-chic collection but somehow we feel Shaken Not Stirred capsule is slightly more elevated.

Every dang olive-embossed item is cuter than the last and is just begging for a night on the town, perhaps at a hotel lobby bar before a spontaneous trip on a yacht around the harbour.

There are no words to describe the intensity of the strut we would bust out if we had these iridescent Martini heels.

The briny bevy is not only stunning, it’s surprisingly practical too (or so we have convinced ourselves). In a noisy bar and can’t hear the bartender? No problem, we’ll just tap our little black handbag and wave a ‘thank you.’

This level of attitude doesn’t come cheap – but the Martini girlies already knew that – with the range starting at $119 for a bejewelled Martini phone case up to $739 for the Shaken Not Stirred Martini handbag.
