Vivien Sheriff Fascinator to hire from Wish Want Wear

PRICE: £100 to hire (as opposed to £595 to buy)

Because today we're following on from yesterday's winter wedding theme, but featuring fascinators as requested by @Lady_GaHa on Twitter.

Yesterday we suggested renting a dress rather than buying one if you think you'll only wear it the once, well the same can be done for fascinators. Unless you go to a lot of weddings/race days, you probably don't have a drawer dedicated to ludicrous headwear. Most of the dress rental agencies also lend fascinators, such as this Vivien Sheriff number which can be hired from Wish Want Wear. It's completely brilliant.

Hire it here.

Faux Fur Stole by Alexon

PRICE: £65

Because today we've been asked by @hjotner to feature ideas for WINTER WEDDINGS. Now this is a fashion area close to our hearts as we have a number of winter weddings in the diary - and not ones in the Carribean either. We're talking sleeves, fur and a very real chance of RAIN AND SNOW.

But the best thing about winter weddings has to be the faux fur cover ups you can accessorise with. So much more chic than the pashmina of summer weddings. Shudder. This purple stole is sumptuous and looks fit for a Russian princess. We'll be wearing in in church, thank you very much.

Feather Dress by Warehouse

PRICE: £130

Because today we've been asked by @Jo_erv2812 to feature party dresses. Remember, we take requests for Five at Five themes on Twitter!

This dress is exceptionally pretty, as is most of Warehouse's AW12 collection. Extra points for velvet AND feathers.

Buy it here.

Owl Shower Cap from Urban Outfitters

PRICE: £6

Because today we've been asked to feature owls, frogs and robots by @EmmsieLu. Remember, we take requests for Five at Five themes on Twitter!

This snowy owl shower cap may win on silly cute points, but we can't stress enough how vital a shower cap should be in your hair washing routine. Forget wanting one to keep your hair dry when showering, you should be wearing one when you condition your hair too! After you condition your ends scrape them up on to your head and pop a shower cap on for at least 5 minutes before washing it all off, it makes a huge difference!

Rucksack by Harris Tweed

PRICE: £70

Because today marks the return of the menswear Five at Five. Sort of. From now on we'll have 'Menswear Mondays', but we'll leave you in peace for the rest of the week. Why? Because, quite frankly, it was a massive ball ache to find 25 menswear items each week that were worth shouting about. We agree that that's not cool, but that's just the way it is. Blame David Cameron or something.

Anyway, today also marks the beginning of Wool Week so we will be sharing some wool based items today. Seems fair to the sheep and all that. We're starting with this rucksack, mainly because we didn't know a rucksack could be made of wool. There's something very dapper about Harris Tweed in backpack form.

PRICE: £88

Aztec Side Stripe Tights by Topshop

PRICE: £8.50
